There is a norwegian study that found that isolated beaver babies start piling up sticks and stuff at some point but do not build dams. They concluded (the scientists) that piling up stuff is genetic and building dams is cultural (has to be learned). I have no link but the study was made in Bø

It is deeply inspiring what this oevre tells us about the dialectics of meaning developing between a post and it's audience. Even with no inherent meaning the picture unfurls the deepest human desire to connect and to form communities, especially in disconnecting times and virtual places of refuge from it.

No I'm not going back to reddit. I will stand with you, withstanding the most selfreferential, the most empty, in hope of a we to fill that void.

Clearly visible he was exquisitely good of a boy. May his goodness subsist in his pack.

There is so much less pretentious misleading alienated crap here. Love that. I'd like some more non-repost interesting videos, that's something I miss... But totally worth the tradeoff of not getting pissed at how dumb of shit you can post and still get positive mass response. Plus the feed here has an end. No more oops I spent an hour looking at shit

You might wanna watch this. It is one interpretative framework you can see it through.

Interesting approach, gonna think about it. So far I didn't take disinformation as a result of news companies going broke.

Why would people forget that the BBC is more trustworthy then someones uncle, just because his opinion is for free? The distrust in "old authorities" like big newspaper or governments is, in my opinion, a long-term result of the broken promisses of the hegemony they are, or seem to be, part of.

The concept "people have to have to pay for quality information" doesn't sit right with me. Relevant info should be available for everyone! And trustworthy news orgs should be funded pubicly.

I remember being all "omg great the internet will finally free information everything will be awesome" in like 2008.

Then I read some Marxist analysis saying "nope, rather sooner than later the market principles, as the hegemonial/contemporary means of humans organizing themselves, will fuck it up and it will kinda suck lile everything else"

I even remember that feeling of hope: "nah this time they're wrong".

Turns out if you don't change the political economy, shit trickles up into any nice social project.

... also this is why I love niches like reddit (ba dum tss), feddit

Couldn't find a specific model/brand other than this relatively expensive german brand, but the concept is easy and cheap so i guess you could find better.

I generally recommend this type of backpack since its 100% waterproof, basically dirtproof, has no zippers or any other parts that can brake. More ore less wear and tear proof. They contain huge volumes, but have little organization features.I got one thats in use for over 20years.

Tldr: max. Funktionality but you also look functional (german tourist syndrome)
