Other professors used to take me to snacks when I was single, so I was well aware that hostesses were mostly divorced or single mothers. Mimi sheds light on the nature of snacks by saying that #Japan has a dark side. Regarding the #social#inequality that Greg mentions, Mimi clarifies that there is a double standard whereby men can go to snacks openly, but it is shameful for #women to work in them. Now I'm a family man, but I sympathize with such women, who would otherwise have to #work for close to the minimum wage.
A documentary succeeds insofar as it sheds light on the topic. If you watch it, perhaps let us know your impressions.
Something I don't think many people get is that #LiberalDemocracies have all these little slights of hand and obscure procedural rules that have this almost magical tendency to only ever get used to block progressive #social change.
"No no, we're not arresting people for #PROTESTING, that would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL. They're trespassers."
"No no see we really WANT to pass this life saving legislation but this pesky senate #filibuster rule that we could get rid of at any time has our hands tied"
"No no no its not that we're overriding local autonomy, it's that they just didn't follow the rules that only apply in these super specific circumstances and never any other time!"
I think a problem is that people do not have the fundamental social networks in #reallife that help to go through difficult situations.
Virtual #social#networks as tge replacement live from making people crazy. In general Media only makes money if people go #crazy about a topic.
I guess there must have been a time when for example US #elections have been a rather boring process with little news coverage. Nowadays, media rages about everything since months.
@foncu encuentro super extraño que la gente se pueda negar a que rebajen el valor de un ticket anual en mas de 50%... y menos aun para el #Transporte#publico y #social
#Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism[
"wää wää wää no it's not socialism, it's capitalism, but I refuse to believe it and I don't have to explain myself"
you
Please define socialism for me.
Because this an official definition
a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or REGULATED BY the community as a whole.
"we want a real democratic and pluralist left party—one which unites all those who believe in socialism"
Even the US has socialist policies, because "pure" capitalism is completely unworkable, because it kills the economy stone dead
Examples of Socialist market economies include Market Socialism, a form of Socialism built on competing worker-owned co-operatives.
Honestly. Like seriously honestly adult adult honestly. Why the fuck do you not bother to spend 30 seconds checking concepts you have no idea about, and instead pull shit out of your arse?
Market socialism isn't defined by worker cooperatives, it's defined by socialism which utilises market economy. Like the socialist democracies of the Nordic countries.
You can't even define capitalism, yet demand everyone is utilising it.
If a country doesn't have a planned economy, you won't admit it's not capitalist. Which is so dumb I can't even find the words to describe it.
Capitalism with regulation is still Capitalism. Socialism is when Workers share ownership of the Means of Production, simple as.
No, it simply isn't. That's like saying "you're not gay as long as you don't penetrate another mans anus, sexual attraction to men has nothing to do with being homosexual".
The simple definition of socialism is when the means of production are owned OR REGULATED BY the government.
Which part of "OR REGULATED" do you not understand?
This is exactly what I meant with my first comments. Delusional fuckers like you, pretending all market economy is capitalism. Even the US doesn't have "pure" capitalism, as the antitrust laws are by definition socialist policies.
Over the weekend, hackers targeted federated social networks like Mastodon to carry out ongoing spam attacks that were organized on Discord, and conducted using Discord applications....
On the other hand, relegating these notions to the past is the best way not to learn from #History & to repeat its errors (what's happening). New words would bring artificial differences where there's none. It'd be kind of fake. I think the biggest problem is the current #western frame & huge trend for bad faith. It's the denial of the actual situation & the "official" inaudible spiel that drowns urgency in nonsense. On every subject. #genocide, #climate, #social...
Ich habe den Eindruck, dass das Weltbild vieler Menschen heute fast ausschließlich von den sozialen Medien geprägt ist. So entstehen selbsternannte Experten unserer Zeit, die ihre Meinungen auf der Grundlage von 15-sekündigen TikTok-Videos oder Instagram-Memes bilden und verbreiten. Dies zeugt von einer bedenklichen Oberflächlichkeit und einem erheblichen Mangel an Selbstreflexion.
Part 3 of "A Guide to Implementing ActivityPub in a Static Site (or Any Website)" is just out the oven!
In this blog post, I explain how to make your blog discoverable in the Fediverse as an account, and also address some of the annoying pitfalls I encountered.
"We hypothesize ingroups serve as moral boundaries, that the relative tight constraints morality exerts over ingroup relations loosen in competitive group environments because doing so also serves ingroup interests."

Just left the group chats for two social groups where I live.
I chronically feel "less than" when I attend, and I have a sneaking feeling there's been backbiting going on, too. There's strong circumstantial evidence of that: for example, workshops I've given have been poorly attended, in contrast to those given by other group members.
The groups are not supporting me in subtle ways, which usually means "don't let the door hit you in the can on the way out" to us #Autistic folks. Truth, Ruth.
Also, much of what goes on in group meetings has to do with Chatting Over Food-Laden Tables, which isn't a great place to be for folks with #EatingDisorders.
If Allah SWT wants me to have the typical kinds of #Social relationships that so many people seem to arrive at without much fuss, He will put that in my life. I'm tired of putting effort into it when it usually backfires on me. And now that I'm a #Muslim, I have plenty to do just learning and praying.

What I've learned so far about #Fediverse condensed to help others.
1st understanding is I make friends across multiple apps/platforms all at once.
We're all in #Fedi making friends & connections together. I no longer lose everything when I use new platforms in addition or instead on Fedi.
