I've officially said my goodbyes. It's absolutely fucked over there. This is just one of many serious problems with Reddit. The CEO is tanking it harder than Musk tanked Twitter. He's musk'd it.

Society is a really shitty simulation made by psychotic sadists. No "hacking" was necessarily required. We all agreed to it by doing nothing to actually stop it. Some people just agree more fervently than others. Can definitely be argued as a sort of stockholm syndrome.

I agree! Especially here in the US. Solarpunk has gigantic potential in the Americas overall. I've got big travel plans next year I'm already saving up for but I'll definitely be finding my way to a convention somewhere in the relatively near future.

I fucking love Adam. I wondered where he went. Thanks!

Where was I to find the info on this? I'd like to go if another is held.

Update: I found the link for it at the bottom of the article. It's a german event, also.

I agree. They're not intrinsically related, there is a tiny overlap due to a schism in transhumanist thought. I consider myself a natural transhumanist. Usual transhumanism is entirely cyberpunk territory.

Finally. Jesus fucking christ, took them long enough to do something useful with these sites.

This is more specific to capitalism than just corporatism but I do agree with you.

That anybody can disagree with this is truly flabbergasting. China should not be the sole decider of whether our planet lives or dies. I don't... I don't get how anyone, even the Chinese, can disagree with that.

Update: I think it's the petrochemical industry. They've corrupted all the green energy focused subs here super badly from what I've seen so far. I think we've caught their attention already - which may actually be a good sign. We must be doing something effective enough to warrant it.

A good solution to this is for less dependency on them. This is the nature of them taking too much, and that's just... really not going to work out great for them, nor anyone.

I am constantly dumbfounded how many of the highly capitalist nations pretend to have such a focus on family when it's so clear that they care so little about them. More time working = less time with your family. They also push for bigger families too, so that individual children receive even less attention. It's so weird.

I get where you're coming from. It's a tandem tech and should stay in that consideration. It's a diversity of tactics in the fight against petrochems. That industry is too big for just one avenue, at least of the ones we currently have.

 

I'm wondering about making a voidpunk community here on slrpnk.net. I've got a bit on my plate to handle moderating it right now but it's a serious consideration for me later in the year. Is it a good idea? Do any of you here identify as such as well? I consider myself part of both communities.
