it's sad how most americans still know nothing about socialism and assume it's automatically bad
it's a nice idea but it doesn't work irl as the fall of communism showed
But she goes on curating your domestic museum. she disappears in her loyalty.
She is a dress wearing a face in the doorway, opening her arms out to you

i'm sitting at panera and this guy comes over and taps me on the shoulder and says 'can i buy you a cup of coffee? i saw you from across the room'
i turn around
it's my cousin
he looks mortified and the only thing i can think to say is 'so... do you routinely ask people out based on what the back of their head looks like or are you harboring some secret kissing cousin feelings?'
slow walk backwards lmao

i read on lj once a few years ago about how this one user wished we never left the Victorian era, and how they wished we still lived that way or smth.
i don't get how people don't understand they're romanticizing
i mean, sure if you say like 'i like the outfits' or 'i liked this about it'
but to actually want to live during these periods in time is just foolish

ppl don't realize that communism was actually making inroads with the american working class in the 30's. the atheist/godless angle was a good way to scare potential communists back into their place.
it capitalized on america's inherent religiosity and then expanded it into the mess it is today.

London 1826: The Advent of the Steam Age
11 year old Ada has a problem: her governess, Miss Coverlet, has quit her job to go get married (a dumb idea if ever there was one, if you ask Ada) and her new tutor Percy (“Peebs”) is a total drip. She’d rather be left to her own devices – literally – inventing things and solving math problems and ignoring people altogether.
She’s also forced to study alongside the imaginative girlie-girl Mary, who’s always going on about romance and exotic travels. Fortunately, Mary’s appetite for adventure leads her to propose the two girls open a detective agency, and when an heiress shows up with a case about a missing diamond, it’s the perfect puzzle to coax Ada out of her shell.
This is the made up story about two very real girls – Ada, the world’s first computer programmer, and Mary, the world’s first science fiction author – caught up in a steampunk world of hot-air balloons and steam engines, jewel thieves and mechanical contraptions. For readers 8-12.
This is a pro-math, pro-science, pro-history and pro-literature adventure novel for and about girls, who use their education to solve problems and catch a jewel thief. Ada and Mary encounter real historical characters, such as Percy Shelley, Charles Babbage, Michael Faraday, and Charles Dickens – people whom the girls actually knew. If Jane Austen wrote about zeppelins and brass goggles, this would be the book.”

the real problem with capitalism is lack of sustainability
capitalism is all about growth growth and more growth
but we don't live in a magic computer world where resources never run out and wealth is generated out of nowhere

this is true.
any econononas who can tell me: would a stable population lead to a more stable form of capitalism than growth capitalism?

Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to their far-away destination assisted only by strangers. Every time the robot got caught under a park bench, ground futilely against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passerby would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once was a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the “right” direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, “You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.”
