Can’t tell why. Inbox works great on all the other lemmy and piefed servers i’ve tried. But not quokk.au (piefed).

The inbox on quokk.au piefed web ui works good.

Good. Shame it takes this long.

I have a bodybuilder friend who was like the most popular guy during the first year of med school because everyone would use him as a model to study muscles cuz if you touched him you could feel a lot of the different muscles.

Therapy is often a prescribed friend that listens to your problems and makes you feel heard. In this day and age with so much alienation, a lot of people can do with one.

Ie.

But on the pieded web UI i can see I have a long blocklist

yep its all ✨infrastructural inertia✨

because on paper thorium and fusion are both way ahead of uranium but the world has invested billions of dollars over 80 years into creating infrastructure for uranium.

Thorium is the Fusion of Fission.

Since the 60’s we’ve been told that thorium tech is just around the corner and it will replace uranium.

I’m a very principled man. After much research, I have decided to boycott every country on earth. (/s, wish this was possible)

sorry if it came off as hostile, not my intention.

but yeah i wasn’t asking for your opinion on life advice but just if this was a legitimate article.

That only works if you don’t get the very common entropy of illness or disability.

Like tell that life advice to many people who i know who are bedridden in their 20s from lifelong chronic illness.

He looks like an absolute badass

They really chose the worst photo to make him look bad.

Fateh's higher education bill included tuition-free public colleges and universities and tribal colleges for students from families whose income is less than $80,000 a year.[18] It also included an increase to Hunger Free Campus grants,[19]emergency assistance grants.[20]

Fateh was the chief Senate author of a bill to provide minimum wages and worker protections for drivers for rideshare companies such as Uberand Lyft.

A new Yahoo/YouGov survey finds that about twice as many U.S. adults say they would vote for a candidate with Mamdani's platform (50%) than say they would not (26%). Could it be a blueprint for Democrats elsewhere?

 

There’s a good reason for this, and it’s not (just) that their beliefs were insincere. The whole point of thinking about structures like capitalism, patriarchy, or white supremacy is recognizing structural power beyond the intentions or beliefs of any individual actor. The problem with capitalism isn’t that particular business owners are greedy, it’s that the system of private ownership requires exploitation and poverty. The problem with patriarchy isn’t that all men happen to be evil and all non-men happen to be saints. The problem is the system that secures wealth, power, and safety for one gender at the expense of others.

We should think about state power in the same systematic way. It’s true—some politicians are especially terrible, just like some bosses are particularly noxious and some men are exceptionally patriarchal. But there are structural reasons for all men to take advantage of the privileges of patriarchy, whether we’re personally bigoted or not. Similarly, there are structural forces pressuring leftists in elected office to abandon their positions, entirely independent of their degree of personal ideological commitment
