whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Books@lemmy.ml•Recommend me a book on the economics of the US civil war that's geared toward non-experts on economics3·1 month agoIf https://web.mnstate.edu/stutes/Econ411/Readings/civil.htm seems like what you’re looking for the author has writings of his own and others in the references at the end.
100+ and ads on the lock screen seems greedy to me
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Books@lemmy.ml•Middle/high school dystopian novel recommendations31·1 month agoMy fuck censorship knee jerk response is Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits or Blood Meridian or some dime store pulp noir Raymond Chandler
A few more actual possible recommendations might be Judge Dredd/2000 AD, Burning Chrome by William Gibson (collected short stories), or most of Philip K Dick and Kurt Vonnegut Jr use dystopian tropes but you’d have to scan for adult content when choosing.

whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all?8·2 months agoSomething doesn’t have to exist forever to have meaning, that seems like a holdover from utopic afterlife religious indoctrination.
We can enjoy a movie or a lunch knowing it will end, I can pursue meaning and find multiple purposes throughout a lifetime.

What are some daily patterns that would begin to emerge?81·4 months agoIf everyone is reliving the same day over and over again most people can go a day without eating with some mild discomfort, pretty much all agriculture, grocery, etc would become luxury and less needed or used.
All travel would become short distance you can’t spend 24hrs traveling to the other side of the planet just to get reset back home. Markets would go into stasis and stay closed there’s no interest earned over 0 days, which means most people would stop working as most jobs wouldn’t be necessary if everything just resets after 24 hours, you can’t build or destroy anything permanent.
I think most people would panic or just vacation for a few months worth of repeated days before organizing around new myths and practices and traditions around what caused it and how to change it back.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the dumbest argument you've ever had?3·4 months agoNo question it causes a little heat when it bounces off and the heat is absorbed, but if that heat gets to the point where you’re causing damage cooking yourself with a phone the phone is seriously malfunctioning and broken.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the dumbest argument you've ever had?9·4 months agoBut blocking any of it is useless because none of it is going into your head, the wavelength of the radio waves is too large to penetrate skin or bone, it bounces off harmlessly like am/fm radio waves. It’s in the nonionizing range of the em spectrum, unlike ionizing em waves like X-rays, gamma rays, radon emissions, etc that do penetrate human bodies and can cause protein or DNA damage.
Arguing politics with someone who thinks ‘let’s go Brandon’ is useful argumentation is like arguing religion with someone who never read their holy book or science with someone who barely passed 5th grade, their whole position is as superficial as possible and they think name calling is effective discourse in general because it works on people who are uneducated on the topic and rhetoric like themselves.
Don’t play rigged games.
Do what you think is right, but actually take some time to think about if it’s right or just feels right.
Being right and being wrong feel the exact same until challenged by facts, challenge your own beliefs, use the Socratic method if you need a starting point.
In my experience Twitter was for modern Seinfeld jokes, mastodon is for monsterdon Sundays at 9pm et, and Lemmy is for commenting on Internet stuff.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lab grown protein: if created, would you move to it?2·4 months agoI’d want to try some exotic synthetic meats you can’t or shouldn’t get anymore like dodo or dolphin. I wouldn’t have the stomach to try it but you can bet there’ll be some market for synthetic long pig. For normal consumption though I don’t eat much meat now so I’d probably just go with whichever if there’s no difference in cost or calories.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you be aware of major issues in the world and locally without becoming deeply depressed and cynical?8·4 months agoBuild community locally, spend time with friends and family cultivating relationships, do something generous for someone else, volunteer for a charity or activism, build an interest in a creative hobby that exercises your imagination. Follow your curiosity and our common interests in discovery and exploration through education and experimentation.

Campaign finance reform under 7 would allow further reforms to follow, without those regulatory capture and bribery are legal and prevent any other electoral reforms benefiting the working class.
