I have an energy limiting condition and need to manage my energy appropriately. These things massively help.

Hasn’t that endgame been pretty much reached?

Wait I shouldn’t trust them. I’ve fully switched to them as self hosting on my ancient device is too slow and i dont wanna use anthropic or openai frontends because I don’t trust them via data.

Just look it up.

It’s like being blind: a lot of blind people can still see but not well.

Or using a wheelchair, a lot of people in wheelchairs can still stand short periods or walk short distances, but have a very short limit.

ETC

Society oversimplifies these things to be binary, but in reality they are a spectrum.

Huh, as someone who became deaf later in life, and thus still have the “internal monologue”, good question!

Capitalism absolutely contributes to the loneliness crisis. Firstly, it creates a culture of individualism, making it all about “every person for themselves” rather than fostering a sense of community or collective well-being. Stable, long-term jobs that used to provide social connections are being replaced by gig work and precarious employment, leaving people isolated and too burned out to build meaningful relationships outside work.

On top of that, capitalism pushes this idea that happiness comes from products instead of building connections. Social experiences are even commodified now—like dating apps and paid meetups—so relationships feel more like transactions. Cities, designed for profit, don’t help either. You’ve got people crammed into apartments, commuting for hours, all in their individual cars or with their headphones on, and barely interacting with their neighbours. Public spaces that encourage connection are underfunded or replaced with malls and shopping centres.

And then there’s the way capitalism shapes cultural perception of mental health. Capitalism treats loneliness and isolation as individual problems, with solutions like therapy apps and self-help books (ie. profitable industries) rather than addressing the systemic issues that cause them. Even social media, which could foster connection, is driven by algorithms that push engagement over genuine interaction, leaving people feeling more disconnected after hours of scrolling.

At the end of the day, capitalism is profit over people. It’s no surprise that in a world focused on production, consumption, and competition, we’re all feeling so alone. The link between capitalism and alienation is well studied in social science.

I’m not sure how useful the term “male loneliness” is. There’s a crisis of loneliness in every sex and gender, it’s a side effect of capitalism.

EDIT: spelling error.

Who is she?

if money = power then liberal (democracy) = oligarchy

It’s very logical.

There’s north chocolatine (basically hillbilly way to say pain au chocolat) and south chocolatine, which according to the above commenter of extremely high IQ, means there as 6 continents instead of five.

Yeah. People in the US learn about 7 continents at school. In France, we learn about the 5 continents.

Does Icloud private relay work good enough for non-illegal activities?

I use something different for torrenting obvs.

What is it?

This was confirmed fake by NYT

Vienna has 50% public housing and as a result basically no homeless population.

Not really. There isn’t a systemic problem where the lives of black people are valued more than others. The systemic problem is that black people’s lives are valued less than others.

There is a systemic problem where the lives of people unable to work through no fault of their own are valued less than those who can work.

Well when politicians constantly use work and labour as a way to shore up support, it very quickly forgets and leaves behind those who can’t.

“working people deserve a living wage” (does that imply non-working people don’t?)

That is completely untrue and shows you don’t really understand the complexity of disability.

I literally cannot.

I’m able to spend about 30mins-1hr total per day on my phone doing simple tasks. And that’s because I’ve improved, most of my illness course I’ve been unable to use my phone of communicate in any way at all.

I’m completely bedridden and unable to speak, deaf, unable to tolerate much sound or light, tubefed and slowly dying.

I cannot work.

They seem good, but as a disabled person who can’t work, the name is icky.
