If your business model is predicated on breaking the law then you don’t deserve to exist.

I mean, I’d say there’s a qualitative difference between industrial products and a novel, for example.

Apparently part of the treaty that returned the canal to Panama means that either Panama or the US can unilaterally ensure the canal’s neutrality if they feel it is threatened. So I’m sure they could make the argument that it falls under this. It would be bullshit, of course, but so are all of their other arguments.

Yeah, I dumped facebook right after the election but unfortunately most of my friends and family are only on WhatsApp.

Maybe the real saddam is the memes we made along the way :P

reddit never had a problem with any of the right-wing subs calling for violence or engaging in harassment, so their bullshit claims of not allowing violence are absolutely hypocritical.

Yeah, the existence of billionaires requires violence be perpetrated upon entire groups of people.

I was mainly just thinking of how our images of the future are shaped by the present, including our hopes and dreams. Even some solarpunk images I’ve seen created. So I thought it was a nice contrast to such things–a future that is the unhindered functioning of basic biological functions because we live more in harmony with the world around us. I guess I should have maybe added that to the original post, lol.

I like it as an alternative to all the ideas about the “future” that are just the status quo drawn out. This is the kind of future I want to think about when it comes to solarpunk. If this isn’t the right place for something like this, please let me know.

Thank you for your service

They keep trying this shit even though it never works. (Like there’s literally no pictures of this actually, totally existent place. But it’s a paradise. Trust me.)

Not really true. It’s basically on the frontlines of oceanic territorial dispute with China, which means US interests as well.

I’ve considered that before. I’m just not sure I’m proficient enough to be able to do that on my own. I can apparently buy laptops with Linux as the OS from a tech store where I live, so I may eventually go that route.

It’s really annoying to me that Firefox doesn’t seem to work well on my chromebook, so I’m stuck with Chrome until I need a new computer…
