Waze is my go to. But Google Maps is far more stable.

I wish there was a “why” function in these navigation apps. There’s about four or five different ways I can go home from work, some are more practical than others. Sometimes Waze routes me through some crazy way (and doesn’t give reasonable alternative routes either) and there’s no way to tell if it’s because it’s 5

Yeah, this kind of thing.  Directions that just don’t make sense, that’s a better way to put it.  

I haven’t had issues with accuracy, but I have had concerns about difficulty. Sometimes Waze will recommend a route that “saves” a minute or two on paper, but is needlessly complicated. Unprotected left turns, lefts that require waiting for a light, going through an area with extra turns or lights, etc. The practical

The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.”

I’m not sure predicting economic conflict in the 19th Century, where there was already widespread labor activity, makes one Nostradamus. And I think Marx’s analysis of the conflict, which focuses on class rather than wealth, has only looked more suspect as time goes on. In Marx’s reasoning, a millionaire NBA player or

I disagree. I don’t agree with the ideology, but this (from the Communist Manifesto) is terrific writing:

Because he’s not, really.

Honestly? These days Marxists are just as privileged as the people they hate. They just happen to have chosen the wrong college major, and they’re trying to forcibly redistribute the paychecks of their former peers who now have good jobs.

she seems to be proof someone can be classist without even knowing why, how, or what it means.

I struggled through bits and pieces of Marx’s Grundrisse back in college, and I agree. He’s harder to slog through than Hegel.

Welcome to the Hotel Sovietskaya.

It’s almost like celebs who don’t know what they’re talking about should REALLY shut the fuck up about it. Or, y’know, learn.

She’s dumb.

Reminds me of how Engels once explained that Marx, contemptuous of how others whose views he loathed had started referring to themselves as Marxists, declared to Engels “[C]e qu’il y a de certain c’est que moi, je ne suis pas marxiste” (“what is certain is that [if they are Marxists], [then] I myself am not a

Oh that’s easy. In capitalism, man exploits man. In communism, it’s the other way around. (old Soviet joke)

Last night, musician Grimes posted a nonsensical “proposition for the communists” on TikTok. In it, she rambled on about how the widespread implementation of artificial intelligence can be utilized to quickly get the world to a state of communism, where “no one has to work,” corruption ceases to exist, and equality

Once while I was listening a woman called in and Dr. Drew was like, "Let me ask you, were you sexually abused growing up?" and she repeatedly said she was not. He straight up said, "I don't believe you." OKAY DUDE.

You are amazing. Thank you so much

Oh for fucks sake! I used to listen to Loveline years back when I was in high school, and even then before I had any kind of sexual experience I could tell Dr. Drew was absolutely full of shit. This was his answer to everything. Every single time a woman would call in and mention a kink or a hang-up or a preference
