Xaris posted:well this is getting into Baudrillard territory that in the simulacra the traditional forms of dissent are inherently absorbed into the code and are dead-end. that is the system controls the ways in which events are signified to non-participants, and then once the system encounters an event will prepare itself to neutralize, or prevent, the event next time thus diminishing events occurring in waves (the system acts as a damped oscillator). and then the system unleashes a dreadful wave of repression after each event attempting to foreclose it's interuptive/disruptive (potential) force and restore the dominant culture of terror. That results in feelings of futility, anxiety and vulnerability that are corrosive of movement-building and of repeated cycles of similar events. so in other words, traditional dissent is impossible under the contemporary dominant culture. so yes, they can arise spontaneously out of a result of conditions, but they are all readily subsumed, and have to be. the limitation to this is that the control is predicated on the system having the power and the resources to deploy to subsume interruptions, and the economic base for that is slowly but steadily fracturing.

Xaris posted:this will be the fun test. goons like to talk up how cool+badass france is at protesting and weak americans are at it. is public dissent just going to get subsumed quietly into the night or are they actually going to affect change to undo the pension reform? it won't depend on protesters but on the unions if they decide to keep striking. protests are nice but given how much the french elite want this reform to pass they won't tip the scales. there's no revolutionary party around to take advantage of the situation so it will just depend if the strikes are harmful enough to capital. e: i was a the protest the other day and there was still quite a lot of people for a little town. people are still really angry. tristeham has issued a correction as of 01:25 on Apr 15, 2023 |

We got both installed and lean Kodi mostly because you can do that neat plug-in that makes tv shows and inserts old 80s commercials if you want in some. Helps with insomnia for some strange reason.

Yeah, the hippies were a tiny trend that drove the conservative majority absolutely nuts. Boomers are also probably still bitter that they have to pretend they were hippies so their kids don't think they were complete losers all their lives.

Harik posted:just like the FDA food pyramid, flood plain designation is subject to fierce lobbying It's kind of a bad time in US history for people to do that since the entire concept of our economy and wealth revolves around assigning roughly 43 trillion dollars worth of value to various types of shelter That person doesn't want to walk away because they considered themselves to possess money equivalent to the value of that house. Even if they still owed $450,000 the math goes "Okay I sell my house for $800,000, and then after fees, closing costs and paying it off I have $300,000." If they tell the bank to gently caress off and leave then they just have nothing. They already have nothing due to foresight and preparation by the insurance industry to protect itself but are just now realizing it.

Back when they had art direction and … I went and actually took a look at some old commercials, just to see how they had changed, and wow, ad people have gotten kinda lazy. No more little 20-30 second stories to sell the product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn4TABizwO4 Guessing it’s an efficiency thing. Since advertising is kinda hard to show if it works, better to poo poo out a bunch of mediocre ads on the cheap and pocket the rest of the customer’s money.

Ebola Roulette posted:Lmao at not getting flood insurance in a hellhole state that gets owned by hurricanes every year This is a very common problem here. A lot of people assume their homeowners insurance covers flooding but it's a separate policy you have to get. These stories pop up every time there's a hurricane.

Help my new $5 million dollar mansion built from matchsticks and paper mache on a dry river bed just washed out to sea. What do I do? How was I supposed to know this could happen? edit - same sort of thing happens regularly to people who build on flood plains. Cheap land, cheap houses. For good reason. Then they act shocked and dismayed when the flood plain floods every decade or so, they get rescued from their rooftop by someone in an inflatable dinghy and "woe is us, we'll have to start over with nothing" in the news.

Ebola Roulette posted:Lmao at not getting flood insurance in a hellhole state that gets owned by hurricanes every year Flood insurance in places that flood all the time is insanely expensive, and you've also got decent odds of getting bailed out too. If this person bought the place last year, they've got no equity or negative equity. This is the bank's loss now and this person is just going to go rent somewhere for a while, which is what they were going to do even if they had coverage because the house needs to be rebuilt.

Flood insurance is hosed. There's a bunch of lobbying and interests to keep people rebuilding over and over. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Build-flood-rebuild-flood-insurance-s-12413056.php quote:A home in Houston, valued at $114,000, filed 16 claims between 1989 and 1995 and collected more than $806,000 in payments. quote:The Middletons' luck ran out in 2016, when the Tax Day floods washed more than 2 feet of water into their home. The National Flood Insurance Program sent them $110,000 to make repairs. They lived for four months with their three teenage children in a camping trailer in the driveway.
