It might be anti intellectualism in me

Ah, ok, well I see we are done here.

Have a good one

1. Anarchy is not the precursor to feudalism (and even feudalism as a concept is hotly debated among historians). That statement is also incredibly Eurocentric. The reality is there was a large variety of political and social structures around the world. Hell, just look at pre-colonial Native Americans and the huge variety in culture there

2. You are defining anarchy differently than a majority of people. And fine, whatever, but you are going to get in a lot of pointless arguments because you are coming at it with the incoreect notion that anarchy means chaos. Especially on a heavily leftist platform that has a lot of anarchists.

I recommend doing some reading and getting caught up on modern anarchist ideas instead of spouting that kind of nonsense. Hell, look into some anarchist societies and see what they are/were about. Also note that most of the non-extant ones are so because of state violence against them.

When did we try anarchy?

You mean Boeing’s screw up. They were the designer/manufacturer of the capsule that had issues. Plus Musk has very little if anything to do with SpaceX engineering or operations (Gwynn Shotwell is in charge of operations). Mostly he just does “Funny” shit like telling engineers to make Starship more pointy.

Other car manufacturers update their cars all the time. Some OTA, some you have to take in to the service center, but that does not mean they don’t do it. The easy to steal Kias is an example of a recent recall that just required a SW update via service center. My ID.4 just got an OTA update last week. Tesla is showing negligence for not updating a service that is still in a lot of vehicles but they don’t actively sell anymore.

That was well worth the long read. I especially appreciate the rules of engagement including not going after identities, but techniques. So many “scam busters” tend to target individuals under the guise of getting to the larger organization. That has always weirded me out since it ignores the fact that a lot of those front line scammers are probably just desperate for work and are not the main beneficiaries of these scams.

Good they rolled it back. Feels a bit like go for what you want and see how folks react, then have a plan for rolling it back.

Only into bottles, though.

How do you figure that?

You can also de-DRM the Amazon books with a Calibre plugin called deDRM. I recently did it to all my Amazon ebooks (had a lot for basically the same reasons as you, plus I worked there).

I dunno if you read the response, but Linus was a fucking fool for asking for receipts. He looks like your MAGA uncle asking you to prove vaccines aren’t harmful

I don’t think they were bought by anyone, but their distributor did recently approve them for ads. I suggested that as a possibility, but she was pretty sure it was PocketCasts inserting them. We shall see either way.

My partner noticed a ton of ads in a similar situation (listening to older podcasts). She was also under the impression these older casts did not have ads, but she is getting more and more each listen. Maybe it is the creator inserting them in older episodes, but she is trying AntennaPod, so we shall see

Vernacular is specifically used for informal language, and in this particular case, linguists did not want to imply slang. I am not a linguist, but the sources I found from people who study AAE cited that as the reason for the name change

It was AAVE for a long time, and momentum is a hell of a thing. Ultimately whatever the culture wants to call it, it is really up to them.

Of note here, AAVE is an outdated term. AAE - African American English (still a little outdated) or AAL - African American Language (the newest, most accurate term) are more accurate. Linguists dropped the “Vernacular” because it is not a slang language, and are starting to change “English” to “Language” because it is most likely derived from creole, not English

It is not just slang, though. It is a whole language that black folks have been constantly asking white people to stop using as slang. This is just one public instance of it happening

For the most part I agree, but we are quickly moving to a place where voting either won’t do anything or won’t be a thing. For now, organizing and community support is the best thing to do, but there may come a time where we need to think about other options
