It makes it abundantly clear that the public feedback they asked for on the change was nothing more than lip service to the extension developer community. I am ashamed to admit I fell for it, because the changes could have been rationalized at the time.

Now, it's abundantly clear that Google wants to exploit you, through Chrome.

Move to Firefox now. There is no better option, now that every other browser is Webkit or Blink based, or directly forked from Chromium.

Asking "What role can Twitter play in preventing white supremacy radicalization" is like asking "What role can Exxon Mobil play in lowering carbon emissions?" or "What role can the military-industrial complex play in ending genocide in Yemen?"

An unregulatable hypercapitalist industry will lie, cheat, radicalize, kill, mass-murder, mass-incarcerate, or propagate fascism for the bottom line

Fascism enriches Jack Dorsey as much as it benefits Exxon or Lockheed Martin.

just because someone can do something, doesn't make it right to do so.

just because someone will do something that isn't right and can get away with it, doesn't suddenly make it excusable or not something to push back on when we can, where we can.

it angers me to see people respond to something with "well i don't see why this is a big problem, just don't do the thing you'd be doing that they will do something wrong with".

this line of thinking enables those doing wrong who we could otherwise stop

I really wish veg*ism wasn't presented as such an aggressive, black-and-white moral issue. When you tell someone that every time they eat meat they're committing murder, their only options are to change their lifestyle completely, feel shitty whenever they eat meat, or reject that narrative outright. Most people go for the last

But the fact is, our meat-heavy diet isn't sustainable, and we'll have to change it eventually if our species is to survive. So every step you take *is* helpful

Try to eat less meat. If you do eat meat, make less of it red meat. When eating plants, try and eat in season (and local, if possible). Try out some meat substitutes and meatless recipes - they're better than you think

But don't get overwhelmed trying to change everything at once, because by any measure you're better off doing a little than nothing at all

normal person: please vote against fascists
some ~Intellectual~ white dude who "loves philosophy": i'm an anarchist and privileged enough to not care to vote

Here's something shitty about capitalism that I feel doesn't get talked about enough: It creates situations where you're just waiting for things to be over. Life is finite. Ideally you should cherish every moment. But a lot of us spend every work day waiting for the day to be over so we can go home. We start looking forward to the month being over because that's when we get paid. We spend most of the week waiting for the weekend. This isn't a good way to spend your life.
