@mmmaria Allt är möjigt om man är stavningskontrollen

@ulPa Well, we seem to agree on a lot of things then – I would add health care and schools to the list of things that ought to be publicly owned, or at least heavily regulated.

The WP article was kinda vague, but all forms of communicators, marketers, motivators, middle managers and the like should just be axed – and yes, they would benefit from the basic income system that we both want 😊

As per usual a tough last day of the week with the kids; we really get on each other's nerves after a full week, and this one has had a holiday with more time at home than usual, so I think I need to do a #3goodthings:
1. Took a small road trip with 7yo autism boy and grandma – saw so many snails and slugs! And a bunch of spring flowers as well
2. 9yo had super easy maths homework and pretended to be a small child so 7yo could 'help' him
3. Got both kids into the shower without much protest
The lead actor in Avatar was so unremarkable that I've mentally replaced him with Chris Pratt. Any time Avatar comes up, I think "Who was even in that? Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, Zoe Saldana and I only remember that because she was better in Star Trek that year...the main dude was a white guy? I'd remember if it was Jake Gyllenhaal or a Hemsworth...Chris Pratt? That sounds right."
@technomancy @erinbee My first thought too
@ulPa I would argue that there is very much 'work' that doesn't need to be done at all, be it private or public. But there are many levels of ownership between today's conglomerations and absolute state ownership, and I think a mix of these would be ideal.
@infernusgoatus They are so weird! And apparently not that uncommon, lots of observations on #iNaturalist, many of them even weirder than mine:

@Silhelm @ulPa If it's in your own home, just tell them to stop, I guess? Or just make some shit up about having read somewhere that peeing standing is bad for your health, most guys are stupid and might fall for that 😅

(Related, maybe too much information: I still accompany my 7yo autism boy to public toilets, and sometimes I pee standing after he's done, and he's always shocked, like "what in holy hell are you DOING?!")

@ulPa Well, I never talked about communism though, it's not binary. I love working on my allotment, and I don't mind doing community work, but 'working' by doing stupid office things for a company that ultimately makes money from me doing that? Or, for that matter, actually producing things so that said company can make money by paying me way less than my work is worth? Yeah, that is capitalism, and I don't want that.
