The only thing you can remove from the process and still get the same result is capital…

And while I get that capital does “play a role”, at least insofar as incentive predicated on people’s ability to function in the capitalistic society we currently inhabit goes, to imply that somehow without it people would be left to trying to “design a phone out of sticks on the ground” is extremely disingenuous.

Fuck I miss seeing things as a child…

Moon light? No… Moon heavy…

no

thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Fun fact.

You can do it anyway!

I dunno, I think that despite the common reading of the format, there is an added layer of irony to this one.

“these guys on the right” are admonishing the US for being warmongering while literally holding a gun to the back of the left astronaut’s head.

Even if you want to argue this “wasn’t by authorial intent”, to pretend that dosen’t paint “these guys on the right” as hypocrites is either incredibly dishonest, or incredibly stupid.

I dunno, they are literally holding a gun to the back of the “Proud Liberal’s” head.

Real talk, you can’t. Or at least there is no “nurotypicals hate this one simple trick” solution.

Your real best bet is to talk to your supervisor about how you do your best work when you don’t need to socialize. And as such would prefer to either work from home, or be moved to a workspace away from high traffic areas.

Fwiw, as a fellow long time listener to ASMR and fan of good headphones, I think you’re cool!

It’s a joke about you being a hipster since you hopped on ASMR “before it was cool”.

The full joke goes “Why did the Hipster burn his tongue? He ate his pizza before it was cool.”

I’ll grant that it’s contrarianism for it’s own sake. But I would disagree with the comparison.

The core value of expressing myself how I choose is being upheld by my (albeit asinine) contrarianism.

The core values of Punks on the other hand can not be boiled down to simple contrarianism or an “anti-mainstream” ideology. And frankly the “anti-woke” Conservative movement is damn near the polar opposite of Punk values. So co-opting the term “Punk” just to make Conservatism sound rebellious/edgy/cool undermines the point of both world views.

Also, being “anti-woke” sucks @$$, while not letting people tell me how to talk F*#ks hard.

100% agree.

I just have a chip on my shoulder about being made to speak in any particular way. So since I’m on Lemmy…

The reactions people on the internet have make me laugh.

Used to be that swearing asserted my right to free self expression. But now I live in bizzaro world, where self-censoring is considered “uncouth behavior”, so I occasionally enjoy censoring my swears just to get reassert my right to free self expression.

The fact the people get upset about it is kind of hilarious.

a minor waste of time

Why are people always asking me to play trivia with food. Come on man, can’t I just have some?

Tell you what, you guess how much I want. If you said a handful, you are correct.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
