It’s a pain with markdown.

Americans also don’t use the Imperial System. We use US Customary. The fluid ounces aren’t the same size, for example. But the units have 5ye same names as Imperial units, which is a significant source of confusion.

I’m a waitress. As long as you’re not making a mess, and you’re keeping company with people who are patronizing the establishment, you’re fine. You said you’re filling your own water bottle? Sounds like you’re making no additional work for the service staff, so don’t worry about it.

Why the hell’d they make it look so much like a Switch?

We could really use a Pete Seeger or a Woody Guthrie in times like these.

It’s ubiquitous.

Perfectly put.

Sturgeon’s Law: 90% of anything is crap. Better to skim from the top than wade up a from the bottom, I say.

Your question is not clear, post-edit. Can you rephrase?

I also love this calendar. It’s important to remember that “what day of the week is it” is an important question for at least two world religions, though, so months won’t always start on the same day of the week from year to year — but every month in a given year will.

The song “Letter from an Occupant” by the New Pornographers seems to be intentionally hard to parse, to the point that late in the song they sing “That tune you’ll be humming forever / all the words are replaced and wrong”. But yeah, anyway, I could’ve sworn the refrain starts with “For the love of a Congressman…” and that’s how I always sing along with it.

I was subbed to some of the post-reddit ones, but I’m over that now. I think just “Ask Kbin” is left.

You have fewer male ancestors than female ones.

Linking between instances is kinda weird right now, apparently. There’s no good way to link to a specific post in a way that’s accessible for users across instances.

I’m not an anticapitalist, though.

Capitalism is an economic system where capital is considered a valid input to the production process, worthy of renumeration. Contrast with some other systems where labor is the only valid input.

Capital is material wealth used productively.

Capitalism empowers ownership of produced good by laborers by funding new ventures where laborers can be more self-directed than if they were forced to labor under the direction of others. Capitalism erodes control from laborers by introducing a non-labor stake in the venture. Both are true.

An artisan who sells what they produce is free to be a capitalist or not, the two are unrelated.

Such a person cannot exist in a society without private property, as “selling” is not a valid concept in such a society. Artisans in general would still exist, though, and probably more abundantly.

An artisan who has more work orders than she can fill alone can expand without the methods you describe. She can form a partnership with another artisan, and teach or otherwise share her methods of production, tools, and branding. This could be an equal partnership or something more like taking an apprentice.

The distinction between worker coöps and other businesses is important, but it’s also important to recognize that coöps are a subset of businesses, not an opposing type of entity. Coöps have just as much ability to behave in a predatory manner towards consumers, and almost as much potential to seek self-perpetuation and growth at the expense of their environment. That they will be less predatory towards laborers is nice, but it’s not enough to make them “safe”.

That mostly predates capitalism, though.

Two. I’m on the second right now because my main instance is timing out ATM.
