Blackjack and hookers.

I’m young enough to tell you that it’s not just nostalgia. Most new tech now is like “cool but impractical” at best and “I’m worrying about how this will be used to make the world worse” at worst. Nothing to make me think it’s the future.

Some of these are valid to ban (the sex and manosphere ones) but others just seem like they’re trying to ban slang.

So many of the people who are most invested in federation are a contradiction in terms; centralized social media is evil and it’s fucked up that it’s the norm, but also anyone who isn’t a cynical, crotchety Gen Xer with a tech degree doesn’t belong on federated social media.

I get where this comes from (look up why USA and Canada celebrate Labor Day rather than International Worker’s Day) but it’s just symbolism, a frivolous issue. Pushing frivolous issues reinforces one of the negative perceptions of the American left common among both centrist Americans and international leftists. People want healthcare, vacation days, material improvements. Not a debate over when a national holiday is.
