Software is part of the superstructure comrade.

What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?

If this is Walmart we’re talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around “censorship”. In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can’t level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.

You need to have better opinions. Only Nazis disagree with me! /s

So I guess you’d say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?

My brother in Christ, you’re not talking to a liberal here.

Listen to yourself. You’re saying the Democrats are our only hope yet they also don’t listen.

Democrats do listen, but only to those with power. Before anything can change for the better we need power for ourselves.

Obamacare was always a rhetorical device to prove how unserious the GOP is at governing.

Except MAGA is not neoliberalism unless we think tariffs are now “free trade”. I get the point that neither party will wield power against capitalism, but they still use their power differently.

Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.

It’s important to understand that any argument against improving one’s material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.

Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter, regardless of the political context.

Cool, now do public education and public roads.

I lived through those times, this is different. The punishment for false hope is the lesson that things can always get worse.

We’re cooked because our leaders are pumping the AI bubble while crashing the rest of the economy. When that bubble pops those programmers are going to have to find a job in a nuclear sized crater of where the economy used to be.

I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar

Me at the therapist the other day: I need to find friends that support each other like the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI did.

The badge lets others know you’re a masochistic

This might be a good fit for a side project I’m cooking up. I am planning on using DBT but I like how this is more dynamic. How does this compare to DBT? Can it turn CTE into views?

Another feature I am hunting for is something that parses the SQL query and produces a pydantic model.

The reminds me of what Zizek said of the liberals: they are very cynical. “We need to do things we don’t believe are good, maybe even bad, but it works”
