“This is Florida! The whole goddamn state is shaped like a gun! You can’t walk to your mailbox without tripping over three of them. God forbid you sell one to a cop!”

Yeah try searching for “star trek socialism” on YT or wherever, you’d be surprised.

But apart from the series specifically there is at least some theorizing that space exploration is only possible after capitalism has been abolished since the energy and cooperation alone required to make it work on a meaningful scale is not possible under capitalism. We need the unleashing of productive forces that only communism can provide.

Aaaaaaand of course there are the Posadists. Google them for a good chuckle!

OMG I guess my age is getting to me LOL. Then add SNL to my list as well!

In Living Color. Man, the talent on that show was unbelievable: Almost the complete family Wayans, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey … they all started with that show. And Jennifer Lopez was on the dance crew! Look up the skits on Youtube or Piped. The comedy I saw on that show was transformative. It’s 30 years later and I’m still quoting Hans & Franz, Men on film, or Calhoun Tubbs regularly.

Riding on the sidewalk endangers pedestrians (especially children and people with disabilities). Crossing an intersection that has cars coming from the right is also unsafer because you enter drivers’ the field of view much later (than if you’re on the street) and at a higher velocity (than a pedestrian). If you are riding a car please accept that in the most places in the industrialized part of the world, bicyclists have exactly the same right to use the street (according to local regulations of course).

Klick on those links with caution, especially the collection is most definitely NSFL.

I consider myself to be radical left-wing, but 95% of the content on hexbear is completely useless. It’s an echo-chamber for whiney bitch-ass tanky trolls, powerlessly memeing their lives away and not contributing anything even to their marginalized corner of political discourse.

That being said: I say don’t defederate. They might behave like idiots sometimes, but defederating weakens the network as a whole and the cost is disproportionate to the benefit in this case.

This was actually much more enjoyable than I expected. TL;DR: A student who kind of likes Rust has to present a PowerPoint (which was prepared for this PP-Karaoke specifically) explaining very stupidly why Rust is bad.

The article is a bit too nostalgic for my tastes, and hyping 4chan or Web 1.0 surrogates is not going to put the Internet back into users’ hands.

Everybody should rather take a look at what Ari Balkan is doing with the Small Web concept over at his blog. He’s also on Mastodon and generally seems like a great guy.
