"The thing about being a kid in the American public school system is that every day at least five things are going to happen to you that, were you a grown adult, would result in criminal charges or at the very least a written warning from the human resources department, but as a kid you have to just sigh and go to algebra."

Before long we were expendable.

The next time someone decides to tell me that the reason things are the way they are is because of "The Free Market" I'm going to politely ask them if anyone paid them for this opinion.

And if the answer is "no" then I'm going to say "then why are you giving it to me for free, or is that precisely what it's worth: nothing".

@HTHR most problems only start when the goddess leaves your corporeal vessel

By Terence Eden...

They are hijacking your emotions. Nothing new here - the half-naked woman on a billboard trying to get you to buy car insurance, the catchy pop-song designed to make you pick one brand of cola over another, the ruggedly handsome man telling you how white your shirts can be...

But in the airline example, there is a sinister asymmetry. They know everything about you - and you know nothing about them.

RT @weedlewobble@twitter.com The ICE employee database getting torn down fucking instantly by the same tech companies who've claimed for years that they're powerless to do anything about Nazis on their platform should give you a clue about which side they're on.

That was so pleasant and lovely. Yes he put the labour of some education on me, but because he wanted to talk to me, not because he didn't wanna do it!

"At what age is it best to crush a child’s dreams so that they have an easier time stepping in to the status quo?"

"You fool. You do not do such things to children. A child is like a poison missile you aim at the Future. You encourage, fund and resource their dreams to the fullest extent of your capability, knowing that your reward will be the pain and misery of generations yet unborn."
