Huh. Until right now, I thought rabbit and hare were synonyms.

When I saw my first European Hare, I noted how not-cute and cuddly it looked… and thought to call them “hares” to denote to myself that they were not the cute rabbits I was familiar with. But now I feel dumb because that’s literally what it is.

Mobile traffic far outweighs desktop for most sites, so it makes sense to do so. It’s expensive to maintain two UIs, so most sites just go with a hybrid approach that works well for mobile and fine for desktop.

Doing a land acknowledgment while doing nothing about it, indeed actively supporting anti-indigenous policies

A channel I subscribe to just posted an explainer on spin, for anyone interested

It is a good demonstration of the limitations of our own thought. We understand new concepts in terms of familiar concepts. If there is no direct analogy to something familiar, the human mind is utterly lost and has to trust in rigorous analysis while only half believing what it proves.

are they adding extra ethanol or something?

Yes. 88 has up to 15% ethanol. You should check your manual before using it.

Ok, use Android then. Millions of people don’t care about those things because they have different priorities for their phone which Apple accounts for when they decide which features to roll out.

It’s in beta 1. Some apps look kinda bad if you’re trying to pick a horrid color. Hopefully they do something to improve contrast before release.

Every new Android version adds features that have been on iOS forever. Both OSes have different priorities.

Android will often add new features but they are poorly integrated or thought out. iOS tends to add features with a much higher level of refinement the first time around.

This is the other side of the iron curtain my friend

Yeah I was thinking something like mining or logging. Don’t think I’d want a luxurious interior being mucked up by work boots though. And no one is going to be loading gravel from a bulldozer into the bed of a truck with a paint job worth more than a normal car.

Just yesterday I saw a G Wagon being used for a real job as a tow truck. They’re pretty cool trucks when used as designed.

Edit: I guess the wheels aren’t that crazy big for a functional truck.

“Hey, sorry to bother you, was just wondering if you were dead. Please call back at your earliest convenience.”

You should have GPS without any service at all. You might need data for the map to load, depends on the app. If you’re lucky and the app automatically cached it when you had signal, or you manually downloaded the offline map, then you could navigate home in airplane mode.

All of this is moot because I think I remember reading the rest of this story. The hiker wasn’t really lost, they simply went on a hike without telling anyone, and ignored calls during that time because they were trying to unplug.

Don’t stop there… commit fully to the dark side

Munch is great. I saw a bunch of his (less famous) works at Thiel Gallery in Stockholm. Always appreciated his work but consider myself a fan after seeing it in natural light. Can see the influence from Van Gogh and Gauguin, but the soul he puts into his works seems anticipatory of the Surrealists and similar movements which prioritized emotion and psychological exploration over precise realism.

Favorites from the gallery:

• The Women on the Bridge was a standout, though hard to pick just one from Munch
• Naval Bathhouse
• Five Portraits

I think I’m gonna have to go to Munch museum in Oslo now…

They’re alright. Used to live in an area with them, some friends lived in them. The long narrow floor plan makes it feel like you’re just living in a hallway. I guess they don’t have to be that narrow, though.

First step is abolishing wage labor and private property. Transitional political forms take on some form of direct democracy, probably something similar to soviet councils.

Whataboutism is a meaningless brainworm which the user invokes in order to ignore their own cognitive dissonance and inconsistent standards. You cry “whataboutism” when @very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net was correct to point out your own double standard. “All of this sounds at odds with representative democracy” implies that you believe genuine democracy is something we currently stand to lose.

What you need to understand is that Marxists are not interested in imposing utopian futures on the world. “What do you have in its place?” is the wrong question. Better questions: What currently prevents genuine democracy? What are the material conditions which both produce and maintain it? Then you get to work on changing those material conditions and removing the real basis which produces the problems.
