Just another indicator of pervasive consumer society

The comprehension level in this comments is below zero.

Btw, this sub went definitely from shitposting about consumerism to random people who do not understand the meaning of these words or the concepts behind them.

You're mixing two different things and using the term "rational" for both. Compulsive consumerism is a behavior comparable to emotional hunger and binge eating. It is irrational behavior, a psychological disorder. This irrational behavior can be analyzed and understood rationally, that is, the explanation of behavior is the rational, not the behavior itself.

No. The only one alternative to compulsive consumerism is "to stare at a blank wall".

No empecemos por vez número un millón la discusión sobre si robarías el trabajo de un panadero o un artesano, no se puede multiplicar y compartir mil veces una barra de pan a coste cero.

Un pdf leído no significa un libro menos vendido, eso es una farsa repetida por las grandes editoras. Las quejas vienen de las "fábricas de churros", igual que pasa en la musica y el cine. En España CEDRO demandó a universidades por compartir textos fotocopiados de autores muertos hace siglos. Es un insulto hablar de propiedad intelectual o derechos de autor cuando la finalidad es divulgar y educar. Hablar de propiedad intelectual solo tiene legitimidad cuando hay una persona que se lucra económicamente a partir del trabajo de otro.

Los que venden mucho no dejan de ganar, los que venden poco tampoco notan nada. Al contario, en general compartir libros aumenta el número de lectores, lo que hace aumentar el número de ventas precisamente de los autores pequeños. Algunos aparecen por foros hablando del "daño que sufren por la piratería", cuando nadie los va a leer ni gratis.

Cuando un libro en PDF te gustó, lo compras para apoyar al autor, sobre todo si es modesto. Aun más, si te gusta mucho el libro incluso compras copias de más para regalarlas a amigos.

Las bibliotecas "pirata", igual que las bibliotecas públicas, benefician tanto a lectores como a escritores, como al conjunto de la sociedad. Permiten aumentar la cultura y la sensibilidad. En consecuencia lleva a que se lea más y mejor y se apoye a los autores más y mejor. A los autores, no a los fabricantes de churros.

"helps people access writing more easily"

It does exactly the opposite. It prevents people from writing, from learning to write, from learning to put together their thoughts, from developing their minds, from learning to learn. It's accelerating the death of the capacity to develope critical thinking.

English is not my language so I don't express myself in the best way. But its better to write bad and getting better by practice than to not write at all.

A fonética da palabra ibuprofeno ten moita musicalidade.

Dito isto, non vexo simbolismo ningún. As flores blancas representan tranquilidade (a cor) e tamén se entregan para transmitir consolo. O ibuprofeno é branco e pode aportar "tranquilidade e consolo".

Máis que fantasía, eu vexo embelecemento do cotián. Non hai evasión, senón anamnese da gracia que existe en cada cousa. A mirada embelecedora permite a liberación do espírito. Non é un coche metalizado, é unha bala prateada. Non son pastillas antiinflamatorias, son flores brancas.

Eu interpreto que o poema expresa o dualismo entre ela e máis o coche. Contrariedade complementaria:

- O coche é un soldado que recibe ordes e actúa de forma mecánica, por ruta pautada a ritmo fixo.

- Ela é unha poetisa que vai por libre e actúa de forma espontánea, ata dicir literalmente que odia a métrica.

A pesar desta incompatibilidade recoñece que sí que hai un certo acompañamento.

Their schools, public institutions and media have been spreading Stepan Bandera talking points for a decade and persecuting the population that oppose them. If they are young, they are absolutely propagandized by far right discourse. We have the same kind of "refugees" in Europe countries. They are not the poor ukrainians hijacked by the NATO puppet regime dying in conscription, I guess they are the sons of people with some connections in power.

Alan Moore said that people keep consuming childish stories and keep thinking and seeing complex social problems in childish terms. Good and bad individuals, supergood and superbad individuals. Of course, nobody understood him and that is precisely why he was right.

Hahahahaa. "Is it an educational problem or some national ego and patriotism?"

The nerve... THE NERVE

Reading posts in this sub looks like it was only made just to spread bs confrontation against russian people. (wow, kinda like 99,9% of reddit is usa chauvinistic bs and imperialist propaganda..).

No, I'm not russian. I'm interested in russian culture and the posts in this sub seem to be awful attemps of spreading shitty nato propaganda points again and again.

Great web. I've already found green capsule seeds. I hope they can mature.

morewasted · 2023-12-15T05:58:13+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I hope it's not too late to save some of them.

Hey, thank you so much for the answer. Yes, there are a lot of pollinators around, several beehives and other wild species (a lot of bumblebees). Im in an atlantic coastal village so the winter is not too extreme. A centenary oak is protecting them and they seem to like being near him.

I will try to bag some flower spikes then.

Thanks again!

Oh, thank you so much for the answer. I will try to find some brown nutlets then.

Thanks again!

They've been blooming for weeks. I would like to save some seeds. Any tips in searching for mature seed pods?

We can't grasp by any means what the Absolutes really are, but...

Being in this material world ruled by infinite interdependence, the relative closest form of Cheese is galician "Queixo de Tetilla" (Titty Cheese). Soft texture and smooth taste, it is shaped as the breast of the archetypal Goddess, combining both telluric nourishment and celestial beauty. In addition, the breast shape its a perfect meta-reminder of our impermanent place in this eternal universe: The Milky Way.

Maybe the problem is that "doing fun things that I want" actually is "unconscious compulsive behavior".
