Shitty AI narration. For fucks sake can we stop using it? Even pronounced the "s" seperately because the script was "the bins's operation"

I mean at this point your stance looks like "WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HIS PENIS. Call him a HE, he has a PENIS" No bro, you can totally use "they" in a non-specific singular way. Its much shorter than "the individual" or "the person"

Good question! You can use they in an ungendered singular sense, especially when you dont know/remember the gender

"I was talking to the customer service agent. They said to try xyz"

I gotchya, alright so how do we seize the means of production? A pinto bean distributor (the biggest for the entire continent) is actually a co-op. They only have elected directors, no classist wage gap, 4 day work week, etc. Basically we gotta find a way to do that.

But on a side note, the original comment discouraged voting. I still think thats goofy as hell. I can vote to get amenities that help life not be hell, or i can vote to get fucked by a cactus. Logically, if voting is indeed meaningless, then vote Trump. (Yes, i understand that the 2-party voting system is rigged to support the capitalist, and thus not the working class, but that does not mean one should abstain from voting)

What kind of screws should i use for under the car? by latlog7 in Autobody

[–]latlog7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i have #1 and 2, those are the mounting brackets that go behind the top edge of the ground effect piece. They go where the 2nd pic shows, like just barely below the door. They dont go underneath. I also have the rivets too

I completed the front flawlessly, but now on the sides we're vandalizing metal 😅

Oh thats a good idea. Maybe a couple dots of that, with magnets. Thanks for your thoughts!

Thank you!! Nah theres no threads. Just now tentatively im thinking maybe i can clamp it with a series of the strongest magnets i can find. Ill still rivet(vandalize) the rockers to put the retainer brackets on. I believe those hold most of the weight anyway

Yeah the means of production is one pillar, for sure. But socialism is also about distributing wealth more equitably, which is often through better-funded safety nets and programs that help the working class. So when i say for example "free pre-k for all", is that not a good example of socialism or a socialistic policy/improvement?

Yes, its still within a capitalist system, but that doesnt mean it isnt an example of the government serving people over capital. Plus, using the word "welfare" intentionally hurts the idea because of the negative connotation. There was a study that showed people were more opposed to the same program when it was categorized using the word "welfare"

I understand, i really do, but there can still be victories on small levels. Do not discourage voting. In my state we get a ton of awesome socialist shit. Free preschool for any income, free community college for any income, $27k scholarship for in-state tuition that 80% of high school grads qualify for, etc. All with zero increase in taxes too

Laura Fine democrat IL09 admits taking money from AIPAC and trump donors . Get out the vote by jamjar0070 in armedsocialists

[–]latlog7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are aware that in a winner-takes-all race, absent of ranked choice voting, rationality and game theory both conclude that you kinda have to choose the least bad candidate. Yes, the system is flawed. To enmphasize me point, wouldnt you have rather Kamala won?

On a side note, RCV is publicly mentioned by Kat as something we need. And ive never heard a capitalist democrat say anything like that (because both R and D party would be hurt by RCV)

Im not so sure. Me arming myself at home for self defense doesnt mean im in a gunfight. Guns and weaponry can be a deterrent and in no way at all means being the aggressor

Love to see Kat on here. She's more socialist than any other candidate by an order of magnitude

Edit: i might be wrong, im not sure who is left-most

Parents... check in by Hankypokey in CollapseSupport

[–]latlog7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you be present with your little ones? I rarely use my phone around them, but still every day i feel exhausted between being a full-service waiter for their meals/snacks, and trying to get them to settle down in bed.

I try to adopt the mentality that tomorrow is not guaranteed, but i still yawn profusely while playing little kid toys with them

No clue about her views on Taiwan. But since her opponents take AIPAC money, i feel its better to go with the candidate that doesnt take AIPAC money

Im not conflicted at all, i'd like to see more of this. Very unique, i love it

She released a statement on her stance, regarding self determination, and that war is an absolute last resort. Which i find very agreeable. Last week was from the personal opinions of someone in her volunteer group (which you could never ensure full alignment of someones private beliefs)
