  • Regarding OP’s image…

    • They make blanket statements
    • They tell you what your problem is and they think they are more qualified than you, to know what your problem is
    • They think they have the perfect solution for you, if only you weren’t in the way

    Naturally the government they favor would have the same perspective, no?


  • Eh, Capitalism will do what it can to turn a profit, which includes things that are good for society. People are fucking dumb and they do not read ToS or EULA, they just sign up for “free” shit and get advertised to while companies track them, spy on them, etc.

    Even when you tell people about their data, they don’t care. I literally have a shirt which reads “they sell your data” by the way, I take it more seriously, and I feel like a fucking nut. I mean, I feel like the only sane person but you know, if every room smells like dog shit check your shoes.


  • This definition of “social” from Oxford is probably most accurate, to how I am using the word:

    1. needing companionship and therefore best suited to living in communities. “we are social beings as well as individuals”

    I interact with the government but I would hardly call it social. They send me paper asking for taxes, I send them taxes. I vote but that’s just filling out a form. It’s transactional, the government provides services. In rare cases I do have conversations with people who work for the government but I wouldn’t say Im social with the goverment through them. That would be like saying you’re social with Ronald McDonald by eating a cheeseburger.

    I really would prefer the government leave me alone as much as possible and I think most people feel this way. I don’t think people want any organizations bothering them. How many times do you see a sign on someones door reading “solicite please” or see people hanging out down at the DMV talking about rules and regulations, or whatever. Never. People hate going to the DMV, they do it as little as possible.

    We’re social with friends (usually people we went to school with), family, coworkers, neighbors, acquaintances, and some people we deal with on a regular basis. Small groups, like Dunbar’s number small.








  • I’d be more inclined to call this a misc utensils drawer. I have one just like it, with many of the same items, but I also have a true “junk drawer”, but it has anything but utensils in it. Like, batteries, screws, magnifying glass, fire starters, a deck of cards, etc. All of the shit that ends up near the kitchen that doesn’t have a whole space dedicated to similar things, finds a home in the junk drawer.
