A “block” is not a fixed measurement, it is the distance between cross streets in a grid. They have blocks in Europe and people definitely understand the concept in my experience.

Sure you don’t need to eat anything besides condensed nutrient paste. But humans certainly evolved eating meat. There places in the world where large scale agriculture is effectively impossible because of the terrain and most nutrients come from grazing animals.

A tomato grown in Iceland has many times the carbon footprint compared a free range goat which just grazes on some fjords for a few years.

A raccoon/crow hybrid fighting God over half a Bagel is pretty much the plot of Shin Megami Tensei

Soccer is fine. It’s the flopping which makes it unwatchable.

Bro you are a full grown fucking man in the prime of your life and you just spent the last minute rolling around on the turf screaming in agony but now you’re back at 100% for the next attack?

The game really needs a rule which requires any player who goes to the turf for longer than 10s to get a sub or serve a 60s penalty.

It’s always jarring to go to an otherwise gorgeous and cosmopolitan EU city and see the kind of cigarette litter the US has 30 years ago. Where I live in the US, cops actually write tickets for throwing butts on the ground, and people will yell at you for it. In Lisbon or Paris, there are entire parts of the city which just smell like an ash tray because of all the cigarette litter.

There is pretty much no place in Europe where a heat pump would not be more efficient.

I mean if you are taking a Marxist lens then not really. Opposing technological progress because it makes your current job obsolete would be seen as pretty much the same kind of brain dead effort it is through a capitalist lens. At best it would be seen as a huge missed opportunity to put that effort into actual syndicalism instead of the public relations nightmare they chose.

It’s honestly a bit cringe how these memes always need to pull some kind of capitalist Boogeyman into the narrative where it doesn’t belong.

Marx’s entire theory of history is built in the inevitability of technological progress, and how it shapes economic and social systems. From a Marxist lens, opposing such progress is pissing into the wind. It’s worse than being an actual aristocrat in many ways, because it actively harms the progression towards the post scarcity utopia where surplus labor has no value to exploit.

There’s a reason why the USSR and China formed their entire revisionist theory around rapid industrialization to compete with more advanced capitalist societies.

This one again? Luddites opposed technological progress from a very naive position, and their stance had nothing to do with subverting capitalist exploitation and was literally just braindead conservative “no change allowed” nonsense.

These memes don’t make sense. As if AES countries refused to build out automation tech so that every tradesman could keep their father’s job. It was the exact opposite - a movemt like the Luddites in the USSR would have been unceremoniously squashed as counter-revolutionary, just the same.

LA is trash so that makes sense

Y’all migrated out of Africa like the rest of us.

I’m with you buddy. I legitimately don’t understand why anyone would ever eat one of those trash burgers. The breakfast sandwiches are edible but only if you have literally no better option.

I legitimately do not understand why so many people refuse to drink tap water. I get that an occasional bottle of water is convenient when traveling or something, but some of my neighbors seem to only drink bottled water even at home. The city will literally test your water for free if you don’t trust it for some reason.
