Why not just a second white noise, or other white noise adjacent sound? Even if they’re both looped they’re not going to have the same loop length and that will be a changing rhythm that way.

I don’t think you’re saying anything contrary but I wanted to make one point clear.

The democracy we live under is not unique to capitalism. In fact, our current system has less democracy than an anarchist system would. Also capitalism doesn’t have any requirement to be democratic. Whereas with anarchism, any dictatorship is directly against the core tenets of the system.

That being said, (I have not read enough theory to know for sure but) anarchism doesn’t necessarily preclude the idea of having managers or even CEO’s. It does preclude those positions having total power and control of an enterprise though. Dismantling the hierarchical structure of modern society doesn’t mean having someone be a coordinator of a larger group isn’t helpful. It just means that job isn’t given greater power or more significance than those being coordinated. Our current idea of a CEO is very dictatorial, but that’s not how it has to be.

I guess I wouldn’t consider hormones or nutrients drugs, but the nature of the question would rule out supplements I think.

Hotter than it was last year, and the year before that, and…

The weather lately has been depressing and angering. I keep trying to get people around angry about it too, but just like everyone else it’s hard to feel like it’s possible to get anything done. That’s why we need to band together

If it were federally legalized they wouldn’t have to use alternate language and/or the FCC could require certain terminology when producing ads.

When I say “libs” I don’t mean 1 party, just any party that express liberal values. Which, based on the Wikipedia page, would include PvdA and everyone to VVD. Bernie and AOC are also libs.

From what I see, the center left politicians in Europe are still liberals supporting capitalism. More of a social democracy which is for sure better than the individualistic libertarian ideas being promoted in the states, but capitalist none the less. Still not fully addressing the ethics of the population as a whole.

Also, I do realize that America isn’t the center of the world, but it definitely has serious impact on what the people of the world see as the trajectory of the future. Especially if (and this is pure speculation) if the right is able to create fox style echo chambers in other countries using the narrative of following the American superpower.

The right has a cohesive strategy for getting and keeping an animated base, while the libs are focusing on maintaining a status quo that people hate and are creating voter apathy.

I want to be clear, the way the community is named is not, “look at this sexy young woman” it is, “look at this nude of what looks like a high school girl, isn’t that hot?”

Also, this is more of cultural problem that needs some societal retraining to fix for real.

Legal =/= good

Legal =/= not bad

And no not eliminate, but it would discourage the behavior.

I would love if we had a president like the guy from Designated Survivor, someone who cared more about doing the best job for the people without his ego being the focus. Which actually might also be true about Comacho

My routine is, in this order, Lemmy, Mastodon, Tumblr

They don’t have to cross the isle, they just need to abstain.

The mostly likely replacement at this point is probably the Democrat Jeffries, assuming the dems are still united on that front. I don’t know who of the gop would be able to swing the whole party at this point.

There was one thrift shop I went to in college that would have original vinyl pressings for like $5. I think my favorite was a compilation of performances of the 1970 isle of wight festival, which includes the final show hendrix did before he died.

She hasn’t changed much at all, she was never a socialist. She and Bernie, despite what they call themselves, are Social Democrats. They are left leaning capitalists, which I say is better than the moderate Dems like Pelosi. In the same way that capitalism was an improvement on the feudalism before it.

Hey, if AOC is the new center I think that’s progress. As long as we can continue to elect people further to the left we’ll be able to continue to shift the party to a better place.
