jk I'm all about that bread @danishcookies@computerfairi.es

science fiction without class analysis is worse than worthless.

@dankwraith I agree. Any sort of dystopian fiction that doesn't address capitalism just starts feeling a bit religiously anti-human to me. Like it dwells on the bad stuff, because on some level it's presenting people as inherently bad. I feel that sets people up to accept oppression, not question it.

modern tech dystopia fiction bothers me because it acts as if humanity is slapping itself silly for no reason, as if a very tiny group of people isn't becoming obscenely wealthy from invading our privacy and micromanaging our lives

@hax @lugh @vantablack could you imagine being normie as fuck and having to flirt on facebook msg with nothing but low-tier garbage emojis while entirely unaware that furries have amassed a whole ass telegram sticker database able to display 7000 different microexpressions of getting their taint licked?

@noelle how much is the TV's on standby and phone chargers on the socket that they keep bugging us about?

At least around here roadside billboards are not allowed anymore.

"Do your part" energy conservation plans, like turning lights off when you leave the room, are great for your energy bill, but their job as part of "lowering carbon footprints" is to deflect from the big corporations that actually use the vast majority of the power.

For example, the average US stand-alone home uses ~11,000 kWh per year.

The VERY MOST EFFICIENT roadside LED billboard uses ~61,000 kWh per year. That number rises to ~323,000 kWh at the top end.

Nonetheless the experience of so often being the other of society does unify us. Because we are defined by our difference from an artificially constructed mainstream, we can and should recognise and cherish the differences among our own kind.

Bisexual people should not feel like they don't belong in the LGBT+ community because they are different. It is precisely because they are different that they belong there.
