minus-squarepotoooooooo 🥔@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoStrangely enough, this comment forced me to read this for the first time. Took a bit. He was certainly no dummy. I take issue with some of it, but it’s certainly a compelling read.
minus-squareTanis Nikana@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·3 days agoKaczynski was right. Maybe not in the whole bombing aspect, prolly not that, but this manifesto is worth its weight in gold.
minus-squarebitteroldcoot@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 days agoPublished in 1995. Kind of strange all these years later to read it and say, “Oh shit, he was right”. Meanwhile, ai turns the world into a giant turd, ruled by the nerd reich.

minus-squareRebekahWSD@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoI personally use the Oxford comma but I do agree with the people who think the sentence should probably just be rephrased to not need it.
