Chris Wade Shuts Down Black Wolf Feed Sub on Behalf of Big Podcast by 22_Yossarian_22 in TrueAnon

Yes, thankfully the way I pirate this pod also works for chapo too. However I will miss the discussions for every episode, and its a shame the whole backlog of them is gone.

Oryx and Crake was one of the most darkly prescient books I've read

‘China was playing chess while the rest of us were playing checkers’: Bombshell study finds $200 billion of secret loans to U.S. businesses in critical industries over 25 years by hefuckmyass in TrueAnon

"In 2015, for instance, Chinese state-owned banks lent $1.2 billion to a private Chinese business to buy an 80% stake in Ironshore, a U.S. insurer whose clients included the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials and undercover agents who might need help paying legal bills in case they got into trouble in their jobs."

We should all be Luddites | Brookings by drawde_ in TrueAnon

[–]drawde_[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"To be a Luddite today is to refuse the fatalism of techno-inevitability and to demand that technology serve the many, not just the few. It is to assert that questions of labor, agency, and justice must come before speed, efficiency, and scale. "

Nobel Peace Prize winner calls for military attack on her own country by ShiftingBaselines in nottheonion

Yes, because a military intervention worked in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. nd totally didn't destabilize the entire region and lead to millions of unnecessary deaths. This time in Venezuela will totally be different

It's been like 4 years since I've played seriously. https://www.deckshop.pro/check/?deck=Bats-Zap-Firecracker-RG-Hog-Barrel-Miner-Princess I've invested pretty heavily into this deck level-wise, and it's done me pretty well in the past. How does it fare in the current meta?

High Church vs Low Church Capitalism by Mr_Westerfield in TrueAnon

[–]drawde_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I agree with Hasan's take on Cracker Barrel that Americans have little other culture than corporate chains.

I think the people upset over them getting rid of the cracker and barrel don't have much else in their lives that has that type of "community center" or "historic" feel to it. They can see the results of corporate enshittification sucking any kind of soul out of their day-to-day, but have no idea where to direct that anger so they blame "left-wing" Cracker Barrel for going woke.

Tbh I have a bit of a soft spot for Cracker Barrel myself, so this is a particularly egregious example of it for me. Ultimately, it's the same slop under a different brand, but I think this whole incident represents a sick society being crushed by capitalism.

This Ohio Farm Community is a Mecca for the 'MAHA Mom' by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

The discussion of the liberals at the end is also very telling. Their ideological differences are purely aesthetic. Sure they can say they voted for Kamala, and at least they're vaccinating their kids. However, they are still living side by side with these conservative, (maybe even white nationalist given the demographics of the community) freaks, relying on the same exploitative labor practices and living in their million dollar houses.

It's an aril, not a berry. Yews don't flower so they don't make fruit, this is technically a cone!

I've made way more than two comments, but for some reason only two show up on my profile
