@psychictides I was once subscribed to NY RoB — not for long, maybe for a year, it was some promo from London Review of Books — these still send me some promo materials, but I can't even pay for discounted subscription now 😔
I like the bookmarks they put into every envelope, they are different every time, I think I have a collection of those already.
@thor Imagine everyone being weird the same way! We could have a word for that… How about "normal"? 😁

Я вчера отвлёкся и так и не понял какой тред надо посмотреть? 🤔
@StaleDonut At least it's not wheat supremacism!

Finally, I have found a challenge worthy of mah here bwoi!
Ta-da!
🎊 Old Computer Challenge🎉

And guess what? I don't even have to limit it much to fit the requirements — it's so naturally slow!
The only thing I'm not sure about is lowest possible frequency — at 600Mhz even Amfora would probably be unusable 🤣
@oku_yama_old
Зато лазером! Как и обещал.

@neural_meduza Честно? Вот не сразу даже понял, настоящая это Медуза или нейронка? 🤣
@RustyCrab
@Inginsub @gray Why expose those who don't have Google garbage built into their OS/browser? 🤔
iOS users are actually kinda cool, they don't even have to jump through extra hoops to disable this shit like I have to — that is great out of the box experience!
Why don't we post some JPEG XLs instead to piss off Chrome scum? 😏

What a week, huh?
And it is in fact not Wednesday this time 😁

> Firefox ver 6
Stopped using it around version 3 — it became too bloated 🤣
Started using something WebKit-based on my Linux machines to have experience close to what I had with Safari on my Mac — most probably Midori, it had an adblock addon written in C, but that supported ABP's lists — it was blazing fast.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! I actually though about that: maybe I should note that I'm not referring to the band, but won't that be rude? 🤔
And yes, sorry, sometimes you sound so well-versed in current state of Russian affairs that I get carried away and speak as if you know the same things I do which can't always be true 😆

I don't think that centrists are those who don't have any opinion, but maybe I'm just preoccupied by concept of radical center. And they aren't those who thing that what we have now is the best solution possible — there is always room for improvement, but choices we need to make, do not necessarily have to clearly align with either left or right.
For me centrism is also deeply grounded in reality: this is what we have now, what can we do to make it better in the foreseeable future? So it doesn't get down to chasing some pipe dream — this might make it look like it's aligning with status quo. Progressives might say: but that is not good enough — and that is often true, it isn't, but that doesn't mean we should start breaking things. Just set a clear goal and always keep it in mind — making baby steps in the right direction is better than making huge leaps in the wrong one.
And of course centrists are not those who are "Let's just all hold hands and go into brighter future": you have to make choices, you have to make sacrifices — some of your choices might alienate one group or the other — you are not strawberry ice cream for everyone to love you. But it still doesn't mean we have to get rid of some group to have all our problems solved — this had never worked and it won't work now. That is the problem with all that "eating the rich" and getting rid of authority — is the world where everyone is poor and has no control over anything really what you want? I think not — but it doesn't mean we should treat those with wealth and power as some sort of demiurges who gave us all the good things — they are not, they, or some of their ancestors might have done some good things, but now they are just using their wealth and power to prevent others from taking their place. Yet, there is no "revolution of proletariat", like John Lennon said in his song: working class hero is something (yet) to be. It'd be just another revolution for one group to replace other group in power using proletariat as a tool. Aristocracy just gets replaced by capitalists or nomenklatura like in USSR — and most people are just getting fucked, again!
What we all want is not world without rich, but world where wealth is more evenly distributed and where more people take part in decision making. Those who do better job should still be rewarded more — I was born in USSR and I've seen what happens when it's not this way: some just do job with dignity, but not doing 400% of plan, a lot of others are just drunk at lunch because they don't fucking care. But of course that doesn't mean that those who can't do better should live in slums. We should also not strive for getting rid of private property, what we want in reality is to prevent few from owning everything and the rest from owning nothing. We should also not try to get rid of social classes — just make it more transparent and make social mobility easier. We shouldn't get rid of nations either — we just have to learn how to co-exist together, and it'd be way easier when people get just live their life instead of constantly struggling to make ends meet.
This is kinda what the left want, but it's also kinda what the right want, and it is a lot like status quo — just way better balanced, this is centrism! So why don't we all just hold hands… 🤣

@jeff Sorry, I have probably digressed from your original thought — it's just another thread I'm partaking in and I'm lumping several problems together without realizing it 😅
@jeff You're right though, the solution is not even being explored. The concept of having a clear enemy is so easy to grasp that everyone uses it to sway people — and people are just getting caught in the moment, bashing some other group that often has zero to do with their problems. Shit — even I get caught into that sometimes. Always asking yourself "Does this really make my life any better?" is hard and the answer is often unpleasant, so most just don't do that.
@jeff
> all activism is state sponsored
Correct, but this wasn't my point. Not everyone is being paid directly to do stupid shit — that's just not cost effective. Paying to those who can convince a lot of people to do stupid shit — now we're playing!
A lot of people are deceived into believing total garbage: okay, what I do might look like stupid shit — but I'm doing it for a good cause, I'm a good person, right?
No, you are not — just take a step back and look at that, it's still stupid shit🤷♀️
