If this gets any worse we're going to have to learn that space aliens are UHC customers.

How many years?
The amount of utility I accidentally extract from my phone over the course of a day on one charge is pretty incredible.
The weirdest thing about a cybertruck bomb is that the world has become so shit that it's not even interesting. Like, I just cannot care because every day something insane happens.
That's the real fucking signal IMO.
Interrupt your habits.
- Uninstall the app, if you use that.
- Log out in your browser.
- If you use ublockorigin, add reddit.com to the custom block list
- Use a password manager, change your password to something you can't remember. Then in your password manager, put a prefix on it like
(take-a-break), so you have to go through the hassle of editing it to log in.
You don't need to be up to the minute or even the day for most of your interests, you can catch up when you have time to do so intentionally.
Interruptions cause you to slow down and give your will power a moment to catch up and intervene.
That is my take.
The delusion of grandeur I might suffer would be something like people foster such a strong culture of cooperation and mutual aid that state government operations and programs become obsolete.
That's a north star. Something to aim for as a concept. But of course we won't ever land a rocket ship on the actual North Star.
I think like any other political or philosophical view, this is one of those things where you will get one unique answer per each anarchist you ask.
Speaking personally, I think philosophies should be used as tools, and as the best tool for a job.
To me, anarchism means disregarding established authority and working together to achieve whatever a goal is. Ideally cooperatively. Some groups will perform well at this and some will not. Some will perform better under a more traditional organized structure.
I don't want to subjugate people with anarchist dogma. I want to help people learn to trust themselves and to cooperate. And I want to get better at it myself.
Same as anarchism.
Lots of people valuing self reliance and care for others without regard for our existing leaders and systems. There just happens to also be systems of governments around.
You can put a date in your calendar to remember
You still have brackets, but they're at every $0.01
Hey thanks for the deep context & lore, that was refreshingly orienting!
I'm ok with continuing to talk to people who aren't ready or willing to understand that.
