They do so much more than just Trump content.

In that case it is probably, though not certainly, the municipality’s job to keep that part of the street clear.

It’s different because their own writing is tailor made for them, whereas with external publications they have to choose from what’s there.

Lack of an editorial department.

Established satire sites will have articles about a broader selection of topics by a broader set of writers. A sub with nothing but Lemmy users posting their homebrew satire would probably satirize little besides American politics. An echo chamber, in other words. There’s only so many times you can make the same joke until it stops being funny.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like these Lemmy-original stories don’t really belong on this sub.

Not to knock on your writing OP (some of these are pretty funny), but if everyone posted what is basically The Onion fanfiction then this sub would be nothing but, and the selection of topics being satirized would be even more narrow than it already is.

Unless the municipal enforcement covers your yard (in all likelihood they do not), it’s the land owner’s problem to have offending cars fined or towed. Many apartment companies subcontract this to commercial parking enforcement scams companies, but they won’t actually do much except stick “fines” (which legally speaking are not fines) on the windshield of offending cars. If a car has to be towed, they won’t do it AFAIK.

So probably you would have to complain to the building administrator (isännöitsijä), who will likely proceed to not do anything about it until many other people complain too.

If that fails, mild vandalism is always effective. Let the air out of the tyres at night (sticking a green lentil in the valve cap works wonders) and leave them a friendly note calling them a moron and an asshole.

The longer messages are so clearly LLM that I’m pretty sure I can pinpoint the exact model (Grok). Not sure about the shorter ones, could be that a human stepped in for those.

I just saw this SciShow video the other day according to which the “plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics in your brain” thing isn’t actually really true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MedC_v-dEbY

This article doesn’t really seem to add anything new to the conversation from earlier this year when this made big headlines.

People like Thoreau and Emerson aren’t fringe; they are extremely influential in American political philosophy, to the point where there’s a long-ass Wikipedia page about them.

Now there’s a lot that could be said about them and I don’t want to start writing essays here, so to cut to the chase I will just write down a couple of bullet points.

• As we can both see, that page considers itself “part of a series on socialism”, which I believe is because these thinkers courted socialist ideas at their time, seeking to come up with an alternative more along the lines of their personal very American individualist philosophy. I think it should not be contentious to say that time has proven that individualism and socialism are not compatible ideologies.

• I think time has also proven that this brand of anarchism did not survive contact with industrialization – this is what I meant by it giving birth to libertarianism, because the same (very American) principles of individualism underpin both.

• Nonetheless, this philosophy is a school of anarchist thought. They themselves called it that, other people at the time called it that, and scholars that came after call it that. Ergo, anarchism is a far broader category that contains more than just the clearly leftist schools of anarchist thought like anarchist communism, and therefore using just the word “anarchism” to refer to contemporary leftist anarchism is incorrect and going to confuse people.

If you think it’s thoroughly left-wing then I think you must not be familiar with individualist and libertarian anarchist thinkers. I don’t think free-market anarchism involves much social production for example. In American political theory anarchism is what gave birth to libertarianism, which is pretty much a right-wing ideology.

What? It’s possible for both modern democracy and Athenian democracy to be democracy, because it is an umbrella term that covers many different implementations of rule by the people.

The exact same thing applies to anarchy. It is possible for both The Culture and Lord of the Flies to be anarchy, because anarchy is an umbrella term that covers many different situations of “no rulers”.

the phase space of vague stuff like political ideology would have an arbitrary large number of parameters, not whatever 2 you see in memes.

Weird to hear this from the person who moments ago was arguing that there’s no problem projecting this concept on an even smaller number of dimensions.

Fairphone also lets you change out the battery very easily, so it’s not that big of a deal if it degrades. You might save the world 20% of a battery’s worth of e-waste by micromanaging your charging, which won’t really make a difference.

The political compass has both an X and a Y dimension, you know. As it happens, the Y dimension exists almost specifically because of anarchy.

Secondly, I’m not referring to what the random person thinks anarchy is, but what actual anarchists believe, and among anarchists anarcho-capitalism is fringe, and an offshoot of liberalism.

You’re doing the monopoly thing here again. When by “anarchist” you refer exclusively to left-leaning anarchists, of course anarcho-capitalism is going to be fringe among them.

Not to mention the fact that free-market anarchism is a distinct ideology from anarcho-capitalism and, to my understanding, much less fringe among self-described anarchists. The primary distinction seems to be that anarcho-capitalism exists at a lower energy state, a sort of a decay product that free-market anarchism would likely almost immediately decay into upon contact with the real world.

Plato having talked about anarchy at one point doesn’t suddenly mean that the entirety of anarchist history suddenly doesn’t matter.

One ideology misappropriating the term also doesn’t mean that all other meanings of the word suddenly don’t matter. Don’t get me wrong, I sympathize with many of the ideas of left-leaning anarchists, but they do suck at naming things. When the same concept covers both extreme right-wing libertarianism and extreme socialism, you really should be qualifying it with something to avoid confusion.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here? But to go along with what I assume your analog is, if you’re talking about height then you need to say you’re talking about height regardless of what unit you’re using. “Two metre box” means constrains only one dimension, much the same as the word anarchy by itself does.

The fact that there’s textbook fascists in the US government and many people I know seem to still be in denial. Mostly non-US people, in case that changes the equation.

This is a pretty biased way of putting it. The concept of anarchy predates the interpretation used by modern left-leaning self-identified anarchists by a couple of thousand years. In online circles such anarchists often seek to monopolize the term (like you are doing right now), but they factually weren’t the ones to coin it; when it was originally coined by Plato, nobody had any idea what the fuck capitalism or socialism even are, and in fact Plato used it as a cautionary example.

I am guessing your gut reaction will be to recoil at this grave attack on your ideology. I implore you to stop and consider that most people are not in fact at all familiar with left-wing anarchism as defined by Proudhon etc., but are vaguely familiar with the concept from many other sources. Therefore when you talk about anarchism without a qualifier to mean anarchic socialism, most people will assume you are talking about some Mad Max law of the jungle nonsense and then summarily dismiss anything you say as insane rambling.

Maybe like 13. However it wasn’t until my twenties until I learnt what it actually means, and I’m convinced most of the general populace never learn that.
