I heard an interesting comparison lately saying basically that blaming the development of agriculture for late stage capitalism is like blaming calculus for the development of the atom bomb, and I would tend to agree.

It’s looking like agriculture was probably used originally to keep us longer in community at sites like Gobekli Tepe, and probably was absolutely life saving for us at that time.

The real issue arose from not persecuting those who would horde various types of wealth more severely (or at all).

Such an insidious way of keeping workers complicit in our capitalist hellscape.

It truly is like that Margaret Atwood quote, about men being afraid women will laugh at them, and women being afraid men will kill them.

Doesn’t matter the brand, cars traditionally don’t appreciate in value. Wisdom always was that it starts to lose value as soon as you drive it off the lot, because of the wear it takes through regular use. Then the pandemic hit, and a shortage of new cars, which drove up the used car (AND new car) market. It’s all madness IMO, but people with the power to do so (corpos and private individuals alike) are trying to hang on to that bubble for dear life.

Maybe I’m just tired, but I’m struggling to think of other uses in the kitchen beyond just a warm beverage? Maybe for instant noodles or warming a bottle?

I swear I’ve seen it on reddit before. Maybe the internet brainrot has finally come for me

This isn’t your kid bro, this is a pretty popular internet meme

I feel like that’s not as cheap as just buying one by the time you’ve bought all that other stuff 🤔

I feel like the qualifier is not necessary for this statement. Not everything needs that level of classification lmao. It reaches “I use arch BTW” levels after a while.

Kolanak, you are a beautiful, multifaceted weirdo, and seeing your comments really help make Lemmy feel like home. Please do some kegels to help ease your gaping asshole.

Wisecracking isn’t the same as being happy

You’d think, but unfortunately it do be like that for those of us with female phenotypes.

Nah, there are a lot of retail songs waaayyyy more annoying than that one that would just take its place. At least that one has some talent involved lmao.

Libby is 100% compatible with kindle, has been for years. It’s the first prompt immediately after you check out the book; it asks if you want to read it in Libby, or have it sent to your kindle. I’d definitely recommend it, it couldn’t be more seamless.

Why are you feeling the need to have your protein shakes in secrecy?

An elective surgery you call it, an investment in their vision, I call it. Not everyone has vision as part of their insurance, and contacts/glasses/exams can get expensive without (or even with, depending on the policy). Viewed in that way, LASIK can definitely be seen as an investment.
