It’s insane how many perfectly usable machines get designated for e-waste.
I mean, I’m not into networking but I have a lot of computers. I usually clean them up and give them to other people and repair them.
I have that exact same cast iron lmao
Ancient Greece and Rome were societies that were based upon and heavily relied on slavery.
Nice repost (spread it as far as you can)
Mhmtrjhmhm fills mouth with potash pomtasrh
Humor is subjective and you’re entitled to your opinion, but that’s just my rationale for why I personally find it funny. I’m just poking fun. No hard feelings towards you.
And yet, we keep moving forward. You’ve made it this far.
This is a high concept post. Ten thousand granules of potash be upon you.
Comrades our asses are not meeting the potash quota under Trump 😔
I see that you’re unenlightened, so I shall enlighten you to the glorious cause. Minions have gone into post-ironic territory. They’re funny because they were once near-universally considered cringe and made fun of, so in posting that in an ironic way, it becomes funny to the in-group, but in the process of that we’re right back where we started which is that minions are funny.
Whereas in postmodern irony, something is meant to be cynically mocked and not taken seriously, and in new sincerity, something is meant to be taken seriously or “unironically”, post-irony combines these two elements by either having something absurd taken seriously or be unclear as to whether something is meant to be ironic.
So, I am indeed afraid that it is you that may be the boomer after all.
Say it ain’t so!
Yup, it helped oppress even more poor people 😍. Heaven forbid we have class solidarity /s
I’d argue that it doesn’t limit it. The current incarcerated population in the US is 1.3 million. At the very peak of American slavery, the enslaved population was 4.4 million, which is a LOT of people, but you do have to take into consideration that the enslavers were financially responsible for providing food, water, and shelter to their slaves. Now the US taxpayer covers all of that and corporations can profit harder.
The only exception to forced labor in the american constitution is for prisoners. Our prison system has been heavily based on punishment and not rehabilitation since the 1980s. We have the largest incarcerated population in the entire world by a very long shot. If you get arrested for something and are innocent but awaiting trial (can take 1-2 years) and can’t pay bail you will be in jail for that amount of time. You have to work a job while incarcerated in most cases. If you do get paid, it can be as little as 10 cents an hour and is not exempt from taxes.
Black people are disproportionately overrepresented in the system despite being just 13% of the population. Black people are more likely than white people to be found guilty and on average get longer sentences than white people for the exact same offence. Things associated with “black behavior” are more heavily criminalized. An example of this is the sentence duration of crack vs cocaine. Crack is more associated with poverty and blackness so it had a much longer minimum sentence than cocaine which is associated more with rich white circles. Basically our prison system unfairly targets people for being poor and a person of color.
Nah, just means you’re more resourceful.
