@trinsec is remote shopping not available/ affordable in your area? It's the go-to option for me when not able or wanting to go shopping, I can choose whatever I want remotely and pay the equivalent of 4 bucks for delivery.
Granted, the remote shopping websites and processes for many shops suck some major ass, but not for all of them.

@kaia w..where is the Obvious Plant logo?

@tk fuck both of them, they are and aim to be the same kind of cancer, although the data they extensively collect has a slightly less misuse potential in Instagram's case. (Since if Facebook or the NSA fuck up big enough they may end up in at least some trouble, while in China the entity doing the fucking up is the government itself.)

@tk and of course it created a fanbase responsible for some quality memes

@tk it legitimately helped me with depression when it was at its worst

@freemo yes, but they tend to call for abolishing of large-scale government, the economic system and/or the police, which destroys logistics and generally enables bad actors and results in a great spring for mafias and other parasitic organisations, causing chaos. So I'm not sure if it's still step one or two, but it's not far.

And it seems to be at this magical horseshoe point where extremes from all sides meet, since ankom's naive hope of peaceful, fair and somewhat efficient cooperation of small communities without market-based logistics results in pretty much the same thing as ancap's belief that humans are capable of controlling mafia-corporations via boycott and bull**** like private police. (Which will probably be the first to become a mafia-corporation.)

Or maybe I have been scarred by the zoomer Internet and there are more sensible options? How much more sensible can they be while still calling themselves anarchist?

I just saw someone claiming "anarchists don't want chaos". Are anarchists officially the least sensible people on the political spectrum? With commies you at least have to go through a couple of steps of destabilisation and corruption to arrive at an absolute dystopia, so it's reasonable that with enough desperation and wishful thinking it can seem like a good idea. With anarchy chaos is literally a part of step one.

Imagine when consumer smartphones get proper 3D object scanning capabilities and it will become a possibility to send someone an actual scan of one's penis. That's sure to generate headlines…

The access to high-speed rail is something I always treated as a given, and it's wild to me that this is not the case in northern America. Many of the trips I took throughout my life would be impossible or at least unaffordable if my only options were car or plane. Granted, buses exist, but they are super slow and awkward.

@trinsec oh, I'm not saying it's easy, quite the opposite xD I meant it as "the most painful to do".
