One could argue envriomental damage or power consumption, which is of almost no relevance to a currency, but thats the imprint they leave on the world because of their existence.

Terrible things to terrible people.

Yes and that’s a damn strong argurment on why it’s a bad idea.

Because democrats have found a way to benefit from their own misuses of the law as well, so you can see how this leaves the people trying to change this with impossible choices they have to suffer consequences of even if they make the best one. It takes a lot of fight to stand up and keep pushing through that, and those are exactly the folk I’m proud to call my country-kin

This throws under the bus the many many non republicans in places gerrymandered such that the minority can continue it’s rule. My life would probably get better, but only at their expense as more and more solvent states leave the union. I’m not willing to ‘punish’ those people for the crime of being born in a impossibly corrupt district.

5 dollars and I’ll let you kick Reagan in the balls

In my late 20s my doc told me to start resistance exercises to fight off the atrophy, sounds like its coming a little early for you, but not abnormal. I can’t recomend enough some basic weight routines that more or less get your whole body. Pilates is great if you dont want to use weights or training machines at the gym.

This is the resource I’ve been using for free weight exercises https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workout-routines

People discount how often heterosexual males will give pretty privilege to other good looking males. People just prefer more attractive people even if it’s not sexual.

Yep, came in this thread to mention the same. There are similar studies showing shorter people of all genders get taken less seriously than taller people. Doesn’t matter if I believe in pretty privilege or not, it’s documented and real.

“I don’t like being held responsible for the outcomes of the fiscal policies I fully support”

Nahhh I’m not messing up my opportunity. Im going back in time and giving John Brown kamakazi drones just before he gets to Harpers Ferry.

When you can get convicted of scores of felonies and still receive no punishment I don’t think you’d care about any laws. All levels of the system have proven themselves unwilling to impose any kind of consequences to him, hes in effect a monarch.

FT8 for pretty maps and SSTV to xmit memes sounds pretty good. Winlink if I’m feeling adventurous.

.world considers .ml tankie and .world is not a neutral instance unless you never mention palestine. So it’s a lot like reddit.

Yes. They literally make memes about instances they despise and how they won’t take anyone from those instances seriously.

People have a right to exist, and if they have no other options but to enforce that right violently, they will do so and let that be called justice.

Fifth column resistance, Sabatoge, and things you cant say on the intetnet.

I can be very critical of the fediverse, especially where I want it to do better, but I think stagnation isn’t the right word I think ‘maintaining’ fits more. The fediverse isn’t beholden to the grow or die model capitalist projects need and it remains a space that is unique enough to warrant people coming back here, or coming here for certain reasons or content or whatever. I think the model to hope for would be continue maintaining and being ready for when the next group of people get fed up enough to follow through and come here (fediverse in general)

A similar phenom happened with TV, once there were hundreds of channels people started leaning heavily on nostalgia. I think it just that an overwhelming amount of options makes the whole experience more taxing on executive function and you can’t help but notice the garbage you filter thought because you just have to filter through so much more of it. I guess advertising plays a hand in the levels of exposure too. It’s why it felt like when you were a kid a good game just fell on your lap and now gaming being more visible than ever you still feel like when you find one it’s a hidden gem among coal.

I think if you looked more or in different places you’d find more you like.

No but its only gonna get more expensive so do it if you can swing it.
