I’m a Pakistani American. My parents and grandparents and all my aunts and uncles were arranged. My parents have tried for years to set me up with someone through friends or coworkers.

I was never ready. I’m engaged to a beautiful woman I met through work. I’m ready now.

I think it’s hard for any American to accuse any country of being “the most dangerous on the planet” when you look at history.

I call my phone the propaganda box

It’s pretty amazing that a bunch of monkeys on a ball hurtling through space were able to take rocks and pass lightning through them in such a complicated way that the rocks can produce images that support violence against different colored monkeys.

They wouldn’t do that because the only durable anti fascists are leftists and they spent decades trying to destroy leftism.

Man how the hell are we supposed to degoogle so fast. I literally only became aware that they sucked like 2 years after them being cool for most of my life. Getting rid of gmail is going to be tough. There literally isn’t a service the equal of YouTube or Gmail.

Muhammad, Khadija, Fatima, Hideo, Pablo, Maria, Eiji, LeBron.

Having some place to bring dates that doesn’t also house my parents.

It really is that simple. The more Ys the more down.

I still listen to Kanye West music. Sometimes even the new stuff.

Free software is about building a society more strongly based on individual rights. At least Marxism-Leninism certainly isn’t about that

I suggest you read some Marxist literature. Marxism has become a bad word in the West because it undermines exploitation under capitalism. But everything Marx and Lenin espoused was based on improving the rights of individuals (you could make a convincing argument that the structure of the Soviet Union was incapable of accomplishing that goal, but that it got closer than anything American capitalism has been able to).

My personal rec is State and Revolution by Lenin. It’s short and easy to read.

It’s a real shame we have to put up with these jokes for a few years. Hopefully the world bounces back like it did after WW2.

Cyberpunk 2077 is my rec. Great game and all the launch stuff has been fixed now.

Maybe I don’t think post scarcity is necessary for ending capitalism, but carbon neutral sounds good to me.

I think we need to address climate change and capitalism first. But once that’s done, I think space exploration would be sweet.

What exactly has caused the outrage and need to identify the users age today? Why do we need this law now?

That’s true but I feel like I am putting money in Jeff Bezos pocket(tho I suppose you could make the argument that all credit cards and banks put money in the pockets of unsavory billionaires) by having it. I just don’t believe it’s good to support Amazon.

If you want proof that theres real humans on the Internet, this is it.

It’s wild in retrospect how influential a throwaway movie tie in video game ended up being.

I got an Amazon Credit card while drunk. I completely regret it and I’m ashamed it took me way too long to cancel it.
