the correct answer was “any part of the background pattern” because it’s not got a photo of a purchaseable product yet but it will do as soon as more sponsorship deals come in
two downvoters are very upset at the idea of reading I guess
“planes … viable”
continuing to have a habitable planet should maybe be worth more to you than saving max. ~10 hours of journey time getting from one side of a continent to another.
if you think that a videogame with a gay character is “promotion of homosexuality” and “grooming”, but you don’t think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn’t textbook homophobia.

hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here
to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.
if you’re desperate to use a bathroom, and you can’t afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders’ register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.
claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.
cool, I’ll go make a powerpoint, can you also give me the necessary:
Signed, someone who thinks it is unhealthy for society for any one person to have the equivalent of a billion dollars
the definition of enshittification is absolutely about money, it doesn’t just mean “making things worse”

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.
But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.
