I don't get why people do social media. At all.
@Altivo Hey! I have moved my nick to the local instance @Letienne I had the forwarding set up, but I have no idea if and how does that work.
@thamesynne I am a great proponent of integration. spread social housing out, maintain high level of social services all around the city.
@thamesynne to be frank, there are strong arguments for the whole idea of labour apocalypse never realising. The fallacy is lump labour isnt exactly dismissed yet. We will live to see how it turns out, I hope . From an urban development perspective, ghettoification and gentrification are the same with the locations reversed, don't you think so? Throwing poor people out of the city center is just another form of segregation.
@thamesynne hello, I agree but let's be real. whatever mixture of solutions arises from the ashes of the post-modern economy, it should be contingent on the country. If not worse . For example the tradeoffs of various schemes on the housing market can be completely different in a town than in for example London.I am afraid that scarcity will be a bigger problem than the lack of options but we will see. I agree UBI and UBS are on the same side of the general argument about Universal support.
@Altivo Please ignore me if it is offensive but how does bullying happen these days? I cannot imagine myself in the shoes of women let alone into struggles of people with less common marks of minority. I apologise if I am being offensive.
@Altivo :) wouldn't liberal arts be better suited for that? Did you learn to read ancient greek at college? This sounds like a dream job. but this is not what the job is about, is it? what does a librarian do? I doubt it is just processing leases and retrieving medium from the archives.
@Altivo No... their entire existence is normally hidden deep-deep below the society it feels like a carnival in an alien city. And it is as awesome as terrifying. In that sense that I have lived my life completely ignorant of the honest selves and struggles of those people whom I presume I know.
It is said to see they could just deprive you if you vocation like that. what made you fall in love in ... libr...arianism?
@Altivo Wow, I did not expect to see genuine struggle to be unearthed. If I may hijack this conversation for a second, sexual minorities really are invisible. Never before joining mastodon had I even have the sense of the extent of LGBTQ+ world. And i doubt it is just the concentration here. The stories one can get the whiffs of, the repression and the forms - furries, artists, sex workers whose language, image.
@letienne I wish I had an answer for that. I think I mostly missed the middle age crisis because, like Peter Pan, I said "I won't grow up!" I went back to grad school and made a career shift though at age 40, because I wanted to. But I skipped over the angst.
@Altivo that sounds like a success story, share how did this career switch come about. I am a sucker for stories with happy endings
