I know some hate this term, but class reductionism is a very apt descriptor for their take.
The general population is more educated now than in the past, but education alone is not what makes one an intellectual, or rather a good intellectual. Having intellectual virtues what makes one a good intellectual, imo. These virtues include intellectual humility, intellectual courage, intellectual curiosity, intellectual honesty, and intellectual responsibility.
The scent of rain or rather when rain falls on dry soil is called petrichor.
Today’s my birthday. Work went well today.
Eggs, bread, cream cheese, vitamins, orange juice, and water.
Yeah, I work in a warehouse. It’s pretty dusty in there. I don’t want all of the dirt and grime to end up in my bed.
I live in Florida. I shower once a day in the evenings.
It was good. I’m hoping that my workplace doesn’t go out of business, I joined just a few months ago and I like working there. I’m also hoping that my home life improves, but that’s unlikely. My birthday is later this week on Friday, my mom wants to take me to Golden Corral, I hope we can have a good time as a family.
Reddit killing off 3rd party apps. Also Lemmy feels more free as I don’t need a set amount of karma to be able to submit a post or comment. I had a lurker account on Reddit that was verified and everything, but there were times when I wanted to post and when I did only I could see my comment.
I prefer Lemmy, it’s a smaller community and I like the fact that you don’t need karma to make a comment or post. I still lurk Reddit every now and then, but only for information about my interests, I don’t comment or post.
Learned how to properly pirate. I was still streaming and using direct downloads before I learned about torrenting and Qbitorrent.
Fellow Floridian here. I hope we can get someone better after DeSantis’ term limit is up. We live in one of the most climate change prone regions and a region where environmental changes mean a great deal.
