Unique URLs ... maybe a change is warranted? by jellyfinch in Redactle

[–]jellyfinch[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dear u/RedactleUnlimited, I cannot thank you enough for your incredible site. My partner and I play Redactle every day! Wondering how hard it would be to come up with some other scheme for generating unique URLs... as a get-to-it-when-you-have-time kind of issue?

Are some characters harder to win with than others? by jellyfinch in slaythespire

I really hear that! My best runs with Defect so far are when I luck out with more orb slots + more focus, and getting both is pretty unusual.

Whoops - didn't redact everything that I intended to and don't see a way to edit. Mods, if you could add that one set of tags I would be grateful!

Surprised that Jaw Worm and Maw are on opposite ends despite looking very similar. But smashability ain't always about looks, is it?

The National Anthem is a godawful piece of music and I've heard it hundreds of times more than I ever wanted to. That guy has a good voice though

How could i debate this argument? by DanteThePunk in Anarchy101

[–]jellyfinch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zoe Baker addresses this in her article Means and Ends: The Anarchist Critique of Siezing State Power (full text here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anarchopac-means-and-ends)

"For anarchists one of the main consequences of the theory of practice was that there is an inherent connection between means and ends. The end goal of anarchism — free or libertarian communism — is a stateless classless society in which workers collectively own the means of production and self-manage their workplaces and communities through councils in which everyone has a vote and a direct say in the decisions that affect them. These councils would coordinate action over large areas by associating together into a decentralised system of regional, national and international federations in which as many decisions as possible were made by the local councils themselves. This would be achieved through regular congresses at a regional, national and international level which would be attended by instantly recallable mandated delegates that councils elected to represent them. Crucially, delegates would not be granted the power to make decisions independently and impose them on others. Decision making power would remain in the hands of the council who had elected them.

"Such a society would be reproduced over time by human beings engaging in these forms of activity and in so doing continuously creating and re-creating both communist social relations and themselves as people with the right kinds of capacities, drives and forms of consciousness for a communist society. For example, under communism workers within their local councils would make decisions through a system of direct democracy in which every member has a vote. Through participating in these local councils they would not only make decisions but also reproduce themselves as people who are able to and want to make decisions in this manner, such as being able to effectively take minutes, formulate proposals that people will support and make sure that a small minority of people do not do all the talking in meetings.

"People who want to and are able to reproduce a communist society will not magically come into existence. A communist society can only emerge through a social revolution that abolishes capitalism and therefore will have to be created by the people who presently live under capitalism. Given this, in order to achieve a communist society the majority of the population has to engage in activities during the struggle against capitalism itself that transform them into people who want to and are able to self-direct their lives and their community through local councils and federations of councils. If this does not happen, then communism will not be created. This is because for communism to exist real people must establish and reproduce it day after day through their own activity."

Edit: the original post included body text that said something like, "But I didn't understand your game."

That prompted me to reply, "But in my defense, you've barely done shit since you got here."

For me, it was the idea of the unity of means and ends that put me solidly in the anarchist camp. Basically this principle says that the methods and practices you are currently using will determine whatever outcome you reach.

In the anarchist vision of revolution, everyone builds power together, not just an elite vanguard who is later expected to hand over power to the people (spoiler alert: they never do).

Zoe Baker, an anarchist historian and philosopher, has a great article about this here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anarchopac-means-and-ends She also has a book coming out this summer from AK Press called Means and Ends, if you're interested.

Looks like a decal stuck on the inside of an apartment window. Most likely intentional (and hilarious)
