I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey

I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something

it’s going to bombard you with an avalanche of pop ups and nag-dialogues that a person who’s logging in every day might not appreciate

I’m not sure what you’re talking about because I just don’t get any of those.

1. I never installed anything related to 365
2. I opted out of onedrive
3. I turned off copilot

And I never get popups for them. I main Xubuntu but probably spend half my time in Windows 11 for software development and W11 is basically just a visual studio machine for me. I upgraded my CPU recently and it’s pretty snappy now, too!

I’m not saying your view is wrong, I’m just saying that your experience has been completely different from mine apparently

You don’t have to enable any of those things, though. I don’t even have W11 signed into a MS account. I use W11 mostly for C++ development these days though.

I think people should not use websites where they cannot delete their own posts. I think it presents major security risks. Hackernews, for example, doesn’t allow users to delete posts beyond a certain date. Allegedly, you can email them to request your data be deleted, but they’ve never replied to my emails.

I believe it’s changed the expectations around “instant” messaging. When I was growing up, if someone texted you, you weren’t obligated to reply immediately. With IMs, you might reply if you were near your computer.

Now, my project manager messages me on slack over lunch break and then messages me like 15mins later with “Hello???”

what

Oh shit, I totally didn’t see that the marshmallow was biting the kid. The image is so small it looked like a power outlet behind him on the wall

I know what the marshmallow test is; I don’t get the joke in the comic. It depicts one of the kids who didn’t wait. Where’s the joke?

I don’t get it

I work with these fucking yuppies every day and I hate them so fucking much.

There are lots of examples where a socialist approach is preferable to unfettered capitalism.

None of the things you described are examples of socialism. Socialism is not “when the government does things”

Tell me why that’s a bad thing? Why should I care?

I don’t subscribe to any philosophy which advocates for the murder of its enemies

Did you read your own link? The one you yourself even quoted? It calls itself an independent socialist magazine.

Dylan Sullivan is an Adjunct Fellow and PhD candidate in the Macquarie School of Social Sciences, Macquarie University, where he teaches politics, sociology, and anthropology.

Which is why I don’t value his economics paper very highly

Richard Wolff, another economist, explains socialism in a very clear and comprehensive way. If you’re not intellectually curious enough to entertain Richard Wolff, I’m done responding. On the other hand, I’m happy to engage with someone interested in learning and discussion.

No serious economist refers to themself as a Marxian. A “marxian economist” is like saying “a psychic physicist”. Right off the bat, anyone who commits themselves to a pseudoscientific view should not have their scientific views taken very seriously at all.

To be frank, I don’t take anything economic commentary by “An Independent Socialist Magazine” seriously lol. Socialism has been so thoroughly discredited that anybody who willingly accepts such a label is inherently not a serious person.

“The standard of living was better before antibiotics! Nobody was poor!” lol, borderline religious nonsense

I think you’re mixing terms. Capitalism is the private ownership of property. Socialism is the worker’s ownership of property; often managed by a state (which in theory should be run by the workers). None of the things you mentioned are examples of socialism.

That’s crazy because it looks pretty bad lol

The official state religion of the Soviet Union was called “Marxism-Leninism”

Wow, it’s horrible that so many people live in extreme poverty. It’s also fantastic that, since the 1970s, most people (92%!) on earth no longer live in extreme poverty, thanks to capitalism and free trade!

relatively rare under normal conditions

Capitalism is “normal conditions”, so I’m not sure what this rag of an article considers to be “normal conditions”. Is the government arresting people for running their own business or owning property “normal conditions”?
