@socks I feel like this has some pretty cool context I'm missing
@monorail I have ducks! \o/
@monorail old 90s/2000s john cena meme except instead of super loud sudden john cenaing, it's super soft distant john cenaing but it sounds like it's steadily approaching but you can't see where from and now it's an indie first person horror game
What's the cutest thing about my ducks? 🤔
well, it could be A) Their soft fluffy feathers
b) the cute quacking noises they make
c) how they're way smarter than you might think and like to get ushered to bed so the door can be closed and they can be safe at night
d) how they come up to the patio to get food, or
e) their little plapping of their feet on the patio when they come up for food
AH it's a TRICK QUESTION the answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE
Capitalism rewards innovation (sometimes), but consistently punishes robustness.
Capitalism tends towards tiny margins. Systems will be stretched to the absolute limits daily and are completely incapable of coping with anything beyond that.
Robustness include redundancy and spare capacity. No robust system can compete in the 21st century free for all of unregulated capitalism.
Meanwhile, neoliberalism demands that every system essential for human life be removed from governments and given over to capitalism. We call this democracy, but it seems more like a Divine Right of Oligarchs.

@daylight so you get messages like "safe... Good friend. Best friend" from them if they really like you ^^
@daylight yeah yeah!! Any animal you can feed, you can now interact with, to harvest usable products from like milk and such, from a menu, BUT you can also adopt them as a companion, and then you can pet and feed them, and also hear what they're thinking and feeling!!

Food mention
@MOKKA I think they call those "yum yums" here. For... Some reason
Can't believe this article came out two years ago and they're STILL DOING IT. https://www.propublica.org/article/turbotax-just-tricked-you-into-paying-to-file-your-taxes
Shared that link with someone who was still waiting for their second stimulus check and who wanted to file taxes but was waiting for a parent to loan the use of their tax software because they had student loans and therefore "didn't qualify" for free filing.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
