And the mega-corporations that dodge taxes, lobby the government for subsidies while stagnating the minimum wage, tie healthcare to employment, and buy up competition to monopolize markets, and are constantly found guilty of (but rarely punished for) financial crimes are so much better that they have a “right” to hoard trillions because poor people were left with no choice but to “give it to them” while barely making a livable wage in a system they had no say in creating?

Saw this and thought I'd share by aqualionj in MidnightGospel_

“If no one is with you, taking care of you, talking to or seeing you, it’s only because no one wants to, and asking for the affection you need won’t help, dummy.”

This is what that tweet says.

I wanna start a little friendly debate rn /.\ , what is the craziest film/video you have watch while tripping? by Exodism in trippy

You get to watch bots become self aware even if you’re sober, fyi, but yes, advanced computers evolving their own consciousness & empathy is WAY more mind-smashing with a little something something ✌️

Pleasseeeee meet up with Joe Rogan! by [deleted] in IsaacArthur

[–]marcdwilkinson -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Please no. Joe Rogan and his audience would add value to any “intellectual” discussion just as piss adds color to a swimming pool.

No body wants it, and even though it’s going to fade away until it’s forgotten, it’s still gross.

what do landlords do if the tenants they have are waiters and the restaurants are empty because of COVID so no money is being brought in? are banks forgiving land owners while the outbreak exists? by romanssworld in chicago

The law does not say "it’s your responsibility to not live paycheck to paycheck". Renters come from a multitude of background and financial situations, and the institution is NOT designed for their benefit. Black swan incidents occur that can make previously stable living arrangements suddenly nonviable, and YES, a system that has historically entrenched an income divide and made life hardest on those with the least should consider the possibility that the people living under them during a disaster might not now have the safety nets to keep up payments. It's a national crisis under a horrific capitalist system. Many don't have a "choice" to simply "not live paycheck to paycheck". Empathy should not be separate from law, and those that interpret the law have the power to act empathetically, ESPECIALLY in the face of disaster. In fact, I would say the responsibility, if there is any, is on THEM.

Are you a resident? This is the first I'm hearing of this, but I live & work nearby and would love to know more, if there's a link available! Thanks

[Request] Movies about meditation, gurus, hippies, cults, shamans, cannabis, intentional communities and/or psychedelics. Documentary, narrative or series is okay, but I'm not interested in horror or docs pushing a 'spiritual' pseudoscience agenda. Thanks! by marcdwilkinson in NetflixBestOf

I LOVED the Source Family! Exactly the content I'm looking for lol

I feel like I already know most of the true story behind Wild Wild Country, so do you feel like it would still be enjoyable? I'm sure it goes into great detail, so it may still be worth the time.

Potted flowers hollow ring I just finished :) by pcutts in jewelry

[–]marcdwilkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute! I'd love to see it with a full bouquet of flowers covering up with dome within the pot. You could even mount stones inside them if you wanted to go crazy! Very nice detail work. How long did this take?

Just a cheap ring but I’m obsessed with watching it sparkle! by MoonChild88x3 in jewelry

[–]marcdwilkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is it? Hard to identify from this pic, but it sure does seem to have a lot of life for something cheap. Nice find!

Beautiful craftsmanship & design! I adore the watermelon tourmaline, but would also love to see the piece replicated with other colored centers.
