No I’m pretty pleasant most of the time, I joke and smile a lot. We’ve got nothing to argue about, I’m just offering an extra explanation about why your comment wasn’t well received.

To tack on to Velma’s answer below about why you were insta-downvoted, your question is the sort that can be answered much quicker and more comprehensively by just doing a google search instead of asking a small crowd of strangers in a comment thread to essentially be your research committee, a fact considered so readily intuitive that to opt for the latter anyway is to almost certainly appear as disingenuous to said crowd. If they can all find this info so easily, certainly you can too.

Yeah I definitely wrote the above off the cuff, seems silly now and I agree with you completely.

IQ is bullshit.

A reminder that since it’s original establishment, through multiple changes of ownership, the mission of the NYTimes has always been to advocate for liberal centrism against any and all alternatives. Despite momentarily appearances to the contrary, NYTimes has never been and will never be a ‘progressive’ paper.

At no point have cars ever been “inexpensive”, they’ve just been more or less obtainable. Big difference, a car has always been a very large purchase.

Sup Bugsy

It’s an opinion piece written by career city planner, professor, and progressive urbanist Bill Lindeke which cites real numbers and facts that will remain a reality regardless of your feelings on the man’s rhetorical skill or unfamiliarity with modern journalism norms.

I think he’s right, by the way. Minnesota’s proposed state transit budget is dangerously regressive.

And just like the first image, many of the words in second image are rarely if ever used by the generation being stereotyped and are more often used by older generations to do the stereotyping, inventing a largely imagined culture for the generation they’re completely out of touch with.

It’s a boomer world, you are just living in it.

But finally, they’re dying in it. Today the youngest boomers are 62 and the oldest are 80. Over the next two decades we will watch as their numbers finally wane, and hopefully with it the monopolizing stranglehold they have over society.

I’m just fucking around now, you’re alright OP.

Oh right, this is all ironic *wink*

Seriously though. I cannot imagine that this is what actually bothers you, right?

What probably actually bothers you is the systemic injustice of the world. Am I wrong?

What does the need to create divisive discourse around a popular leftist streamer serve to obscure about how you actually feel about the world?

Noooo I’ve been used by the devil yet again! Say it ain’t so!!

The occasional non-vegan who doesn’t think well on their own but wants to sound smart. Or the occasional troll / animal ag plant who wants to propagate anti-vegan myths. I’ve come across the claim about a dozen times online and once IRL.

What the hell are you talking about… Asphalt is such an ideal surface for cycling that it was a national cycling club which started and led the public campaign to make it the default road surface.

Asphalt roads are literally cyclist-gotten gains. Let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water!

I picked up the idea through Bookchin but I have no doubt he got it from other libsocs like Hennacy.

What we’ve been trained to identify as “work” under this power hierarchy is more definitively “toil”. The definition has been overridden so that we cannot differentiate the bait and switch.

Work is labor that benefits the person doing it, is self-actualizing, is voluntary, and is an overall positive experience.

Toil is labor without clear benefit. It is not fun. It is repetitive and draining. It is often involuntary or coerced.

For most who labor under capitalism, the labor they perform is not actually work, but toil.
