automation, labor 

things seem simple or natural to humans because we have experienced them for our entire lives. so we think, this is simple for a human, so we could make it simple for a computer, and obscure the complexities. i know for a fact that mcdonalds has given hundreds of millions to advanced AI researchers to replicate a cashier taking your order, and the experience still isnt acceptable. what a waste of scientific minds. anyway the coming of full automation has been greatly exaggerated

Many queer and lgbtq people have built rich traditions for new generations to take part in. But even so, sometimes a well used road is not one that you can travel on.

It’s ok to have to find a new path for yourself.

You will surely make the way easier for others who share your experiences.

:drake_dislike: throwing insane amounts of money down a hole to try and moonshot full automation to drive down wages under capitalism

:drake_like: asking workers what would make their tasks easier and building targeted automation to ease the workload under socialism

#pdx community members beating down fascists with strategic deescalation and neighborhood mutual aid...

"We have used deescalation tactics and otherwise been entirely non-responsive, which enrages these fascists who are very clearly seeking out a fight and media attention," Katbi Smith wrote in an email. "We will not be deterred by violent misogynistic white supremacists who attempt to disrupt our efforts; we will continue to organize to build a better world for all."

@selontheweb if implementing automation isnt about working less, your society fucked up

@dankwraith my point is like: even if automation can ethically and sustainably replace that missed production one day in the future, we should still be working less today

reply guys: nahhh
reply girls: now we're talkin
replenbies: hell the Fuck yeah

businesses contacting instance admins to ask for sponsored posts and being confused when they say "lol get bent" is the funniest fucking thing

i hate buying from the amazon marketplace and getting that pathetic follow up e-mail begging for a review

gender, clueless request for explanation 

@Tetra This is just one of any number of possible analogies. The point is that gender is extremely complicated and arbitrary, and our society is pretty poorly equipped to make any serious sense of it. We built it, but the ways it actually works are still pretty unexplored in the popular consciousness because we're all expected to just take on faith that it's a simple immutable binary thing.
