hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here
to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.
if you're desperate to use a bathroom, and you can't afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders' register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.
claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.
cool, I'll go make a powerpoint, can you also give me the necessary:
- parents with spare $600k+ (inflation-adjusted from 1994 when Amazon started) to give me to build a prototype
- rich &/ or influential friends, from my family and my expensive education
- expensive education
- etc
Signed, someone who thinks it is unhealthy for society for any one person to have the equivalent of a billion dollars
i chose to read the 41 words of your comment instead 😌
the only examples here which don't sound completely gross are the ones where you misunderstood the part of speech..
At least with the buildings I’m involved in, the bigger issue is the state removing any ability to raise rents on vacant rent-stabilized units
NYC housing law allows close to unlimited rent increases when apartments are vacant, especially if there are (however dubious) "improvements" made.
If your "issue" is "inability to endlessly profit off an investment in something that should never have been treated as a financial instrument in the first place", then get fucked. Otherwise, please explain.
saying "many activists" are "assaulting" others is a great example of the behaviour described in this meme, yes
blocking ads is as close to "necessary" as it gets for me.
rooting gets harder and harder with new android versions and devices - but it's been worth it for me every time.
lastly FUCK the app developers trying to block rooted devices, it's for their (sense of) security, not ours, and it's sad to see so many people in this thread bullied out of rooting by them
"so far" doing a lot of work in that post
they could have made their shitty DM system end-to-end encrypt messages by default, instead of burying that feature[0] in chat settings
or, they could have used their MASSIVE wealth and lobbying power to directly fight the warrant in court (if there even was one, they have a long history of just requiring a form ostensibly signed by any cop to turn over private data)
or they could have just lied and said they couldn't find the data
I don't disagree that people shouldn't trust Facebook but saying "they don't have a choice" is absurd
