Someto a valoración como idea: un incentivo para que las empresas que abriesen en medio de una jodida alerta roja meteorológica como las de estos días (y no estoy mirando a Mercadona ni El Corte Inglés por nada), sería permitir que las compañías de seguros no tuvieran que cubrir pérdidas si el negocio estuviera abierto en estás condiciones.

@bjn @cstross Is it me or the Tory party women seem to follow a pattern of "I must be meaner than Mean Maggie"?

@cjust I didn't have "crying at the loss of Terry Pratchett again" oin my agenda today, but seems I'll have to cram it in. :crying_cat_2:

@HauntedOwlbear Mark Z. Danielewski's Seal of Approval.

@HauntedOwlbear Sounds like my next outing to IKEA.

@player_03 @roadriverrail @sinvega @futurebird I have three Night Vale t-shirts because it helped me go through one of the worst periods of my life. If anything it captures perfectly how sometimes "humour" is just another name for acceptance of cosmic, existential dread.

@goatsarah @YakyuNightOwl @AnarchoNinaWrites Yes, but then you read about the Trial of the Generals, or the Trial of the Doctors or so, so many SS guards in the camps who didn't get to be prosecuted until the 60's, and it's all so fucking frustrating.

@YakyuNightOwl @goatsarah @AnarchoNinaWrites As a Spanish, I can offer these two images:

@YakyuNightOwl @goatsarah @AnarchoNinaWrites Also, as to the "put them in prison forever"… so few of those.

@marnanel At uni, in my faculty, which was a repurposed building they installed disabled people toilets near the library. Just in the floor that couldn't be accessed except by stairs.

@HauntedOwlbear I would argue a Kirkegaardian perspective would seem more appropriate.

@mrundkvist It depends on the scale of the economy and its complexity, but I would gather at certain point you need quantification, and you can call that one way or another, but it's essentially money.

@mrundkvist Money is, and always has been (insert astronaut with a gun here), a way to "measure" taxes and, hence, labour. I understood it better when I read about how the first instances of money were account entries in Mesopotamian temples registering taxes in the form of grain, cattle, etc. Currency, the physical expression of money, came later to be able to transport and exchange labor as debt from a place to another.

@mrundkvist That's why when "some guy™" tells you that bartering is "the original form of economy" you can know they are bullshitters with no fucking idea about anything: barter economy is when the societal entities that guarantee the debt implicit in money will be recognised and respected are failing/have failed. Is money necessary for a functioning economy? It is inevitable. Is that the same as Capitalism? No, because Capitalism is an extractive form of accumulation of labour by "some guys™".

@futurebird It's not so much the memories of the older people I've known so much as the fact that my own father was born in 1925 and I was the only child of his second marriage. I was just one generation distant from events such as the Spanish Civil War and its post-war in the worst years of the dictatorship of Franco, and he was really traumatised by that, something that got passed to me.

@futurebird I began to deal with that generational trauma just last year, and it has conditioned me for so long in the fear and perception of the "distant" past…

LB: ni un solo puto autor español de novela mainstream de chichinabo con tuiter que no sea un puto gilipollas.

@emilygorcenski If you don't work in the firefighters or are an on-watch doctor, there is no fucking excuse for your job to call you afterhours.

@Cefr @emilygorcenski My statement was a broad generalization, since there are a lot of infrastructure-related works that certainly demand shifts, but, somehow, I do not believe most jobs in our late-stage capitalism belong to those categories.
