Instead, I want to read stories about how states with Democrats in control (ie, my state of MA) are strengthening choice by enacting new laws to protect women

OMNY is one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with. They control payments on the NYC subway and they've stopped accepting my card/phone twice now for no reason. Takes hours of phone calls to get this straightened out. Till I do I'm unable to ride the subway. (1/2)
Lauren Weinstein mastodon (AP)
Can't you buy access cards on a one-off basis as needed (presumably more expensive)?
Dave Mandl mastodon (AP)
@lauren In an emergency, sure, I can just buy a card at a station. But this needs to be fixed. Among other things, I have a discounted (half price) Metrocard. If I buy one at a station it's full fare.
Lauren Weinstein mastodon (AP)
Understood. I'm suddenly reminded of one of my first experiences (long ago) on a NYC subway. Some crazy guy started harassing me for no reason. Just totally nuts. So when we were stopped at a station, I slipped out just as the doors were closing, and he was left there banging on them. Worked just like in the movies! I'm sure nothing like that happens on the subways these days ... yeah.
jesse jarnow mastodon (AP)
ugggggggh, emitting techtonic levels of scorn on your behalf. i've resisted the push to switch from metrocard to omny & one of the main stations near me just got rid of their metrocard machines. i really really really really really do not want my phone to be bundled with my access to the subway (or to use their standalone card), for a bunch of reasons, now including the new nitemare you've just described.
Dave Mandl mastodon (AP)
@bourgwick Yes, the phone/credit-card/Metrocard link is fucked. The biggest problem here is that I have a special half-price Metrocard so this all has to be linked to that specific card. I can't just buy a Metrocard at a station. Bring back tokens.
jesse jarnow mastodon (AP)
double ugh. is it a regular metrocard or a new omny one? you can't refill it using cash in one of the "old" style machines?
Dave Mandl mastodon (AP)
@bourgwick It's a special card with my photo on it. I'm not sure if I can refill it directly and I'm too terrified to try. I might bring their whole system down. Anyway, I think the card itself is now in some suspended state because I'm "delinquent" on last night's fare.
Mark Hurst mastodon (AP)

Russia would lose up to 1.8 million troops and take 5 years to capture the 4 Ukrainian regions it wants: UK army chief

I am afraid Putin will see this as a bargain.
Gen. Sir Roly Walker said he'd based his estimation on the "current rate of attrition of dead and wounded" faced by Moscow's forces in Ukraine, according to UK media. [...] "If they carry on as they are, it would probably take the Russians five years to grind their way to their minimum objectives of the four oblasts," he added, referring to Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

The American CDC no longer tracks the total number of new COVID-19 cases, so Corona hotspots are found using wastewater data. It’s a reminder that science doesn’t just look to the stars; sometimes it looks to the sewers.
States with the highest COVID rates are in the West, but it's also spiking in the Southeast and parts of the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Basically all the places I was considering going to on vacation when the Democrats come to Chicago for their convention.

Fabio G. mastodon (AP)
The founding myth of capitalism is that a group of people freely chose to implement private property.

That has not happened once in the history of the world. At the origin of every piece of capitalist property is an act of violent appropriation. The myth of free exchange is an after-the-fact excuse.
Daniel Detlaf mastodon (AP)
Strange then that every culture has developed trade and barter. It sounds like in our natural state you think we all freely give what we have, if we have.

But sharing is something that has to be taught to many children. "Mine!" is a survival instinct.
Fabio G. mastodon (AP)
@HumanServitor I'm a bit confused because i can't tell what your post has to do with mine.

All i'm saying is that capitalist private property has never arisen through a spontaneous voluntary act of free association, but rather through violent appropriation.

I don't see what that has to do with «our natural state», whatever that means, or survival instincts.

Sorry if i'm being obtuse.
Daniel Detlaf mastodon (AP)
yeah "natural state" was a poor descriptor. Suppose I have an apple. Last one of the season. You ask, "can I have your apple?" No, I say, I am hungry and about to eat it ... The beginnings of private property.

But, I say, those grapes you have look tasty. Swap? ... The beginnings of trade. Next year I say, give me your grapes and I will take my apple, and trade them both for for three different fruits elsewhere. Investment. Mercantilism. I haven't needed violence.
HeavenlyPossum mastodon (AP)
@HumanServitor
That is not private property in the political economy sense that Fabio is using. You’re mixing up a sort of colloquial expression (“my stuff is my private property”) with an analytical term (rentier extraction through unitary ownership of economic chokepoints).
RD mastodon (AP)
@HumanServitor
>>But sharing is something that has to be taught to many children. "Mine!" is a survival instinct.<<

Then how do you explain cultures that don't even have a word for unilateral ownership?

https://kolektiva.social/@RD4Anarchy/111891044015665650

How do you explain the ubiquity of commons over hundreds of millennia before their violent appropriation by a particular culture?

This sort of conversation makes me think of the Tikopia, who linguistically lack a term for possessive ownership, but rather use a term that means “is associated with” for things they possess.

Content warning: #suicide

"Epictetus, like Socrates before him, tells us that death is a bugbear, something that scares children (and, apparently, Aristotle)"

It tickles me to see the second most influential philosopher in the pre-modern West lumped in with children.

https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/2016/04/05/epictetus-on-suicide-the-open-door-policy/
I think that since Epictetus was born a slave - a very different world setting from that of Aristotle - and his philosophy/ideas are marked by that, his remark is not entirely out of character.

As a note: with Aristotle having written most of his work after 49, I think today's academia would call him a late bloomer 🤭 (but they should take some hints to reanalyse their "truths" about intelectual potential)
