I’m surprised this hasn’t come up before already. I’m generally on the boat of ‘no loli posting’ outright. It’s a messy moralistic debate that I haven’t seen sufficiently settled yet, but most people don’t want to chance across sexualized underage girls/discussions of it and no one wants to get into a debate about it. One side is inevitably called pedophiles for engaging in it and the other side can justifiably become extremely heated.

Most well adjusted communities with cultures you want to spend time in outright ban the discussion. Avoid the mess all together. There’s not many ways to slice ‘sexualizing underage girls’ without pulling up a rotten slice.

One of the best jobs I’ve ever had was a trolley collector. It was a company contracted to work for the chain stores, so I didn’t work for the stores I collected carts for.

I’d show up, do about 45 minutes of exercise hauling the carts around, then I’d sit in my car and play on my phone or read a book. Or, hell, even just leave. I’d have 6 hour shifts but trust me when I say the trolleys don’t need 6 hours of supervision. I’d often get away with one collection in the morning, coming back for a collection in the afternoon, then peace out.

Anyway, best of luck with your new job comrade, I hope the freedom makes the lack of decent pay worthwhile. It definitely did for me.

pan leftism pisses me off. defanged theory, feel-good nonsense that doesn’t equal a legible ideology. Also preys on the dumbed down simplistic single axis of political thought. I don’t know how they expect communists and anarchists to work together, or communists and soc-dems, or communists and anyone other than marxists. Then again, I’m guessing that’s the point - to legitimize every single flare of leftist thought other than the one with actual material history behind it

yeah it’s crazy how the pandemic put a smart device in front of every school aged child, we overhauled our infrastructure radically within a few years to support this. we demonstrated the technology age we’re living in and how adaptable it is

but couple years later and we’re trying to ban them from schools because of the addictive design we imposed upon them via usual capitalistic interests

shit like that makes me so depressed - we’re living in the future. humans of the past could not comprehend what we live with. and we’ve designed it in such a fundamentally anti-human way that it’s more of a danger to our health, physical and mental, than anything else
