Eh, Jerboa is okay, but the typing is janky. I might switch away from it just for that reason.

What are you on about? The entire capitalist system is based on theft from the workers. To even be a capitalist means you gave someone less than the value they produced during the time they worked.

If they didn't want us taking back what's rightfully ours then they shouldn't have stolen from us in the first place.

Why do people keep defending the parasites?

Your political ideology can use whatever leftist symbolism it wants to, but if the system you enact is an authoritarian, top down hierarchy that supresses the will of the masses in favor of a privileged elite, then you aren't on the Left.

Even Marx and Engels at their most statist wouldn't be in the same zipcode as Lenin et. al.

To be on the left means being for democracy from the bottom up and being agaisnt the concentration of money and power in the hands of a few.

It's news to me the 80's were actually just the years between 1946 and 1964.

Idk if dating is inherently bad, but the soulcrushing drive for profit that has consumed modern dating has defintely made it horrible.

I wonder if this is because older folx don't change the default settings on their stock keyboard so it keeps adding a period after every space automatically.

That makes sense. I fully support making things more Democratic, but we do need SME's modding as well. We have enough uneducated 'experts' spreading misinfo as it is.

Anthropology has always been a favorite mine as well. There are others on there like the earth sciences or geospatial that I'm interested in, but tbh I think Anthro is the only other sub that I've studied enough as a layperson to be able to effectively mod.

Sorry for the delayed response. Life got hectic there for a bit.

Eh, even within the US it's not unpopular outside of the bible belt. I think most of the rest of the country does it out of habit. I'm not sure many people think about it as anything other than something that's 'just what you do'.
