The true fediverse: in JPEG we trust.

So an average furry?

The problem with these token activism is that it’s hollow in content. The intent might be good, but the action is almost pure virtue signalling.

Slavoj Zizek pointed out in multiple interviews that there’s a pervert self-reflectiveness in the self-censorship: privileged people “enjoy” being guilty of their privilege, so it’s more about themselves rather than the people they claim to represent. “Sorry, but you were naive and unaware of people being racist when they use these words, so let me stop them and now you are protected (by me) in an inclusive atmosphere.”

A related radical freedom situation as an inverse to the above is that when friends get really close, even using racist slurs is treated as a gesture of intimacy, rather than racism. In an ideal world, the context in the public discourse would be so strong that even racist words lose their racist meaning (“oh, so you are joking as well”) rather than the opposite (assuming there’s ubiquitous “hidden” racism in the use of a word, even when there’s clearly none).

Another critique is that it presents itself as a substitute of real solutions. Instead of addressing real problems, it provides a simple “everyday” solution, very much similar to the recycling movement. Of course we need to recycle, but we should be aware that it’s not a substitute of radical real actions (e.g. stopping the big oil).

Such a shame on the activists to spread disinformation. It was Lizzy who crushed the economy, #NOT THE LETTUCE!

You are literally designed to eat craps found on the ground.

Another good bit (not in the video) is that Zizek thinks that’s why Germans can endure great pain and sacrifices for an ideal…if you are strong enough to observe your shit for health reasons, there’s nothing you can’t do!

They are already invented: 😱 and 😱😱😱

Well, that already happened for Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Philip K. Dick’s early novella The Gun describes this, but instead of chat bots, they were auto nuclear weapons.

Let me introduce you to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

After the crush, they shout CR2032.

Have you heard of 996.icu? I don’t know where you get your statistics, but have a walk around 五道口 and you’ll understand.

Also, I don’t know where you see that I’m a fan of CCP. The government is largely responsible for the phenomenon by not prosecuting the companies lol.

I’m not saying that this isn’t a protest, but merely providing the context for the protest. They took the relaxed dress code to an extreme and deliberately interpreted it as “anything you like”. It’s more of a malicious compliance protest. That’s why they were scolded by the leader, instead of being fired.

I’m not saying everything about China is evil, but 996 is an actual thing, actively resented by Chinese young people. I’ve got friends working such schedules. I’m presenting their views. I had also visited their offices and saw the folding beds.

For those who don’t know, it’s not quite new (except for the word that describes it, Ban Wei 班味). Because of the long working time, a lot of Chinese companies (especially in the tech sector) allow very casual dressing, plushies, even folding beds in the office. Sounds good but is actually horrifying.

The sentence meant to be sarcastic. The dry humor was lost in translation.

I mean, that’s also how now commonly accepted names came into being in the first place.

Every time I plugged USB-C into SDCX: perfect height, but why are you moving?

Because these two industries are both labor intensive.
