tbh i don't see consumerism as a moral failing, but i really do feel icky when i spend money on things i know i can do without, even when it's purchased as "ethically" as possible. the only solution i've found is only buying things when i need them. i fail a lot with food tho because of last minute grocery shopping and the "treat yourself" mentality lol.

plus even if you can shoplift all your groceries, you shouldn't if you don't literally need to because the corporation won't care, but it does get the workers punished and if they're forced to enforce it, hurt people who DO need to shoplift to survive. it isn't advocacy it's being a dick

hence why I fucking hate the tumblrcore mentality of bragging about shoplifting crafting supplies or whatever because no. you are not helping

@d60010 yeah makes sense. i don't purchase a lot of things either. but yeah it's easy to overindulge in food consumption because it's not like you can go cold turkey on food itself

@draggianuniverse i'm not sure if employees get punished for it because i heard some conflicting things about that. i even heard they're not supposed to intervene otherwise they get in trouble. so i guess it depends. but there's also the question of "if the corporation sets aside money and doesn't care that much" then is it really fighting the system

draggianuniverse 1 year ago

also I would argue that you individually living off grid doesn't do squat to change the system either because it's just showing off that you have the privilege to do it. that simply isn't viable for most people and it's not like you doing that helps anyone else. like, I read a page here once that claimed "just don't pay your power bill you don't need A/C" and uh in summer in hot climates you do.

it's just individual posturing and intellectual masturbation. consumerism is not a moral failing if you have no other choice so rather than bragging about how off grid you are, take the L and do other forms of advocacy etc. they'll be more helpful than any individual lifestyle choices

i just found out you can just add openvpn files to your internet connection without any additional software on linux mint. that's so cool

for those who don't know, open vpn is a vpn protocol & there are these .ovpn files that you can download for a vpn connection without having an official client for said vpn

i'm struggling to think of how i should style the donations page. because i watch it to be eyecatching but i dont want it to be over the top or silly. since it might come off the wrong way. idk i'm probably overthinking it but i dont wanna be disrespectful towards the people i will be linking you know

i feel like as long as its sincere people will understand! if sincere to you means no funny business, then that is how you should go.

Silly is fine if that's what your heart wants, personally I'd be more likely to donate to something that made me laugh than a very serious no goofing around donation page - maybe make it look like the Winrar free trial notification? It would match the Windows theme :)

You can start with a simplistic version of your normal layout with short descriptions for each Fund and then see how comfortable you are adding more elements or touching-up text.

Much of mainstream tv shows head in the direction of never adopting actually radical positions, preferring only to portray suffering under capitalism void of any viable solutions. Mark Fisher goes into this in Capitalist Realism

lakestheguy 1 year ago

@limovars RIGHT!! i've noticed this too. but i was thinking maybe squid game would at least be entertaining about it. but you're right though. even severance which is a better show doesn't show any possible radical solutions at least yet. the only exceptions i can think of are star trek & sorry to bother you. one of the reasons i respect boots riley as a director is how openly communist he is
