Ahh maybe I misunderstood. I saw the post as a critique of people saying there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, so there’s no point in trying to make any changes to what you or other people consume - it’s all bad anyway so you might as well buy Israeli hummus or a new phone every year.

Those last two examples are of course hyperbole that I’ve never seen actual leftists use as examples, but I’m just trying to illustrate the sentiment. Of course individual action is folly but I’m still vegan for the micro-difference that makes, and like to use my positions of privilege to have as low a footprint as possible.

Of course sometimes that itself becomes a shield for criticism but that’s a different can of worms.

I think that different can of worms is what this post is trying to address.

Someone else in this thread said they spent 8 hours a day on their phone when Russia/Ukraine started.

I stay tuned into the news here and check it periodically but if it’s hurting your mental health, there’s absolutely no reason to be glued into the war minutiae. You don’t need hourly updates on which bombs landed where to be informed. You don’t need a constant feed of gore to know that Israel is genocidal pariah state and to do whatever you can from thousands of miles away.

All the lefty pods are doing their dunk tour on it. Hard for me to gauge how big it is in actual liberal circles because I don’t go in actual liberal circles.

It’s when someone abunds.

Wow even equipped with toilet paper on the left there for those who can’t step away from the computer. Seiko sure knew their audience.

If you don’t use a DE, it looks like there are ways to enable it in window managers as well. You’ll have to look up specific instructions for yours.

Some desktop environments set a default compose key, but you might have to set one manually. Common choices are the menu key or the right alt key if you don’t use it much.

Mostly it just defines a set of pretty standard and sensible combinations to add accents or other modifiers to existing characters, but there’s quite a bit you can do with it.

It’s 100% real. In two years we are going to find out that all of it is being paid for by HBO for season 3 of The Rehearsal.

Popular but wrong.

The best thing about French Canadians is that they get to be in a linguistic cultural bubble that gives them some distance from the knuckleheads down south.

Not that there’s anything to defend about English Canada, but damn it’d be nice to have a break from the dumbassery for two seconds.

Absolute classic.

though I was on the fence whether to cut the guy on the left or leave him in

So were they.

There’s a vid of her pushing her staffer, so she is a bit of a Putin sometimes.

Ok I need to make a poly sicko emoji asap. Anyone have any suggestions on how much of the image to include? I’m not great at filling in parts of the image that are covered by stuff that I’m cutting out.

It was half in jest, but I find these linguistic quirks very cool and wish I had some of my own to share!

There’s probably something but all I can think of is my cousin saying “willn’t” as a kid (he claims it was a joke and he’s probably right, but that’s not how I remember it).

Damn I wish I were you.
