  • I’m a bit of a weirdo about digital stuff to a certain extent. I believe there’s a value in tangibility and friction. I don’t want s robot to clean my house cause it’s my house(not really it’s my rented apartment but if anything this makes me feel stronger about my point) and it’d my mess, cleaning it myself gives me a sense of ownership of both. Cleaning my own apartment is my responsibility and I reap it’s rewards by having a nicer space to be in. That’s the kind of labor joy can be found in, those are moments of genuine experience even if they suck at the time at least the reward feels rewarding and proportional to the task. I’d hate to let a robot take it away from me even if it is a chore. It’s MY chore. Let the roombas sweep up my work instead. It’s not a glamorous or pleasant part of life but it is part of living to do your own maintenance. Hold on to any unalienated labor you can afford to






  • No one was making a gun because it looked like a dick, even subconsciously, they were trying to make a thing that can kill people without you needing to be near them to do it. People don’t get artsy and symbolic when designing new weapons, pragmatic design is very much the main thing, otherwise you’d see people attaching truck balls to the grips or stocks of guns, which actually, that’d be funny as hell, especially an automatic, every time you fire those balls be bouncing. But yeah, unless you’re a serial killer you’re not sexualizing your weapons of war while creating them in the first place. If weapons are based in anything in nature it’s tree branches and sticks, cause those were the og weapons.
