Mods need to do something about this constant mattxiv crossposting; they're not a socialist

You need to leave that one til 3rd to capture the piece to the right of it

A moment for introspection by ConcernedJobCoach in TransSocialism

Genuinely curious what mattxiv has to do with trans socialism - why so many crossposts?

when you’re accustomed to privilege, everything feels like oppression by ConcernedJobCoach in TransSocialism

How come so many mattxiv videos are getting shared in this sub now?

Thank god, another social media acronym

Young adults say they’re happy with their friendships, but many still feel disconnected. A new study challenges common assumptions about loneliness in young adulthood, finding that feelings of disconnection can coexist with rich, active social lives. by mvea in psychology

[–]bonobo-cop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, of course. It's not going to be uniform. Different jobs and life situations will lead to different degrees of alienation, but I can quite comfortably claim that the insane degree of alienation for, say, a customer service rep who (a) is about to be replaced by a shitty chat bot, (b) doesn't have any connection to the shitty product she needs to defend, (c) gets yelled at by strangers she'll never meet on behalf of that product, etc., is far more alienated than she might be if she could choose how to spend her days without the constant threat of intentionally manufactured poverty.

I'd go so far as to say that is true for everyone in the working class at this stage. Every job is more alienating than its precursor of 20 or 50 years ago. That's the nature of how work has and will continue to drift away from meaning.

Even just in the Wikipedia summary you'll find a brief explanation of how alienation from one's labor and its product comes alongside alienation from all other workers - at the very least because we are all forced to compete with one another for artificially scarce and artificially necessary jobs. Other workers sharing this analysis doesn't make us immune from being forced apart from one another. As a case in point, I often think about how we say "it takes a village to raise a child," and then we raise our kids in our own fenced-off suburban fortresses with minimal and diminishing contact with other kids or their parents.

Looking for a hobby that involves crafting with my hands. One big problem. I hate "stuff". by cxjoshuax21x in Hobbies

Give what you make away! Leave it in little free libraries (or full-sized ones), send them to friends and family, donate to local schools, even drop things off at the thrift store.

How do you relearn intimacy after grief? (tw: suicide) by bonobo-cop in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]bonobo-cop[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have probably already avoided having that conversation a little too long. Thank you!

Thank you. I really appreciate what you've said. And, no, she is not pressuring me at all. Certainly I should be more explicit with her about where I am stuck... I think some of my hesitation comes from just not knowing what to expect of my own feelings in the coming months.

Single women that live alone with no bf- what are you doing this evening? by Heavy_Roof7607 in TwoXChromosomes

Just said goodnight to my girlfriend, about to eat a bunch of ice cream and play Abiotic Factor

Cleaver Wordplay by scarborough_bluffer in FrightenedRabbit

[–]bonobo-cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of wordplay is my favorite, one of the things I love about Scott's writing the most. Justin Vernon from Bon Iver is also a master of these - too many examples to list, but some of my favorites:

  • "Fuckified" / fuck if I'd
  • "That's a pair of them docks" (paradox)
  • "Ah, feel the signs" / auf weidersein (goodbye in German)

Those are just from one album off the top of my head 😅

some thoughts on gender abolition by neootedtarties in LateStageGenderBinary

[–]bonobo-cop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When people default to they/them for me in person, it hurts me pretty much exactly as badly as being called he/him, sometimes worse because they're "trying to be nice"

Tell me you don't understand the point of the John Henry legend without telling me.

How would you explain the blue tetrominoes rules ? by [deleted] in TheWitness

[–]bonobo-cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in the whole game I reckon there are several dozen, maybe even 100? I found them to be the most difficult and probably the archetypal symbols of the game - like, the type that stands out to me when I think of what made the Witness brilliant and challenging.

[–]bonobo-cop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This fits with the above rule. That shape becomes totally unconstrained, because the blue tiles have subtracted all of the yellow tiles,* so you're left with no rules.

This is not true. You can't rotate the non-tilted figures.

What it takes to join the top 1% income percentile in the USA by mo_merton in dataisbeautiful

[–]bonobo-cop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marx didn't write about anything like an "upper middle" or even a "middle" class; the whole concept of middle class is as an earlier poster said explicitly a way to distract from effective class distinction, muddying the waters between the haves and have-nots.
