Welcome everyone! Make yourself at home in our time-honored tradition, the weekly discussion thread!

P.S. As your matrix server overlord friendly server admin, I would like to announce that I am working on some uh… stability improvements. Some might call them enhancements. Don’t ask what I’m enhancing. Anyway, the uptime will be… better. Probably. >:3

    Capitalist flavors of thought are pretty bizarre. You get Nihilist Flavor, which is like “everything is impermanent and meaningless, enjoy it while you can, YOLO.” And you get Cotton Candy Health Flavor, which is like “you should try to live in a sustainable way; be healthy, exercise regularly, eat your vegetables, brush your teeth, sleep well… why? shoves ‘so you can work longer for the capitalist’ under the rug… uh, so you can savor the Nihilist Flavor for much longer”.

    “But I want to be a part of something that matters.”

    “Oh yes, so we’ve got Product Fandom, Colonized Religion, ‘Family’ Workplace, and a variety of cults.”

    “Aren’t all of those cults?”

    “Stop resisting!”
