Orcocracy

Yeah, too fussy and repetitive. Why would I want to spent a couple of hours trying to beat the same boss fight over and over? The whole process of getting gud is dreadfully dull.

I was joking, but please go ahead if you like. I don’t think System 7 era Macs had anything to do with Unix though, right? That all came many years later.

Hang on, the computer at the left edge of the frame is a Mac. That’s not Unix at all! This guy is a phoney!

Trotskyists have the right idea about focusing so much on publishing and distributing their own newspapers. Unfortunately those papers are filled with unapproachable Trotskyist rants, usually about big global issues, and contain basically zero real journalism. A free leftist local newspaper with a website and a print copy handed out at a few busy transit stations every morning could, for example, actually send a reporter to report on local goings-on in the town hall and so on. Given how so many local news outlets have closed over the past couple of decades and left many towns and cities without any local news, the average person might actually want to read such a paper.

I’m reading this aloud while doing my very best George W Bush impression.

How did you hear about these many happy people who are using it regularly?

City hikes + street photography is a fun little hobby

Is having lots more green energy not a result?

The YouTube algorithm. Open a private window and start clicking on no-commentary playthough videos or some other innocuous stuff and then watch it start to put fascism in the recommendations.

I think we can all broadly sympathize with the complaints about politicking, but this rant also includes a lot of red flags. For example, saying that you have “never had any interest” in things like “being agreeable when you disagree” suggests that this person is just another one of the big ego assholes in the department, a full-of-themselves “rockstar academic” who can’t even be bothered with basic human kindness.
