Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

@tpostmillennial COVID really need to get its head in the game.

Getting absolutely pantsed by heart disease and cancer. Shameress Dispray.

Could american politicians use a reverse old jewish mother technique to guilt their opponents? "I guess it doesn't really matter to you, you'll be dead soon and you won't need to live through the consequences of this legislation!"

Whether anyone likes it or not, you can't afford to sit on the sidelines.

They're coming for us next. It doesn't matter what you believe, it never has mattered what you believe. They're going to tell you what you believe, and then they're going to cut you down for it.

And that's why you have to fight for your basic human rights.

@sizzletron it really isn't about vaccination, it's about fighting for our basic human rights. You can be vaccinated, you can be unvaccinated, it doesn't matter. They're still asking for your papers in order to participate in basic human activities.

Personally, I refuse. I bought a Soviet passport off of eBay, that is the only passport I will be presenting if someone asks for my papers. "Ryeel syoviet vyaccine pyasspyort!"

@graf @Bajax @khan except vaccine passports.

Anyone who supports those should go back to Nazi Germany where they belong.

This is a major print (over 24 hours) I did for my bathroom. Nothing fancy, it holds the electric razors and the blowdryer in the bathroom.

I love practical prints like this that just become part of your life. This actually replaced an earlier print that was in the same spot doing the same thing for several years. Eventually the part broke, so I redesigned with additional material and printed with more robust print settings. This print also represents the end of a dry spell I was having where my prints kept on failing.

@Cosmic who?

I'm in a pretty niche space, but most people my age I work who get a good career track job stick with it happily.

Something just occurred to me: our taxation and monetary regime is a de facto ownership tax on everything.

Let's imagine for a second that you buy $100 worth of gold. For the sake of argument, let's say that the $100 will buy $100 worth of gold, and it will also buy 100 cans of beans.

So let's say that next to the government prints more money, and so your gold is suddenly worth $105 dollars. However, you can still only buy 100 cans of beans with the same amount of money, so the amount of value you have hasn't increased.

Next let's say that you sell your gold. The government is going to look at that 5% increase and say "you made money, we're going to tax that". But you didn't actually make money, you still have 100 cans of beans worth of currency, it's just that instead of costing $100, it costs $105.

You end up getting taxed just because you held something that retained the exact same value. You aren't getting taxed for making money, you're getting taxed for holding an asset while the government inflated the currency. Tax on a tax

@hn100 In the name of diversity we're going to crack down on differences between other people.

@furgar That's substantial!

@sizzletron That injection wasn't a vaccine.

@Horkosianist Need moar data.

Also, who would be running these camps? If it's the government, fuck that. They're the ones who set up the system that makes it more likely for people to be fat because a bunch of lobbyists with corporate chequebooks poked politicians. You don't get to create a problem then go ahead and put people in camps to "solve" the problem you created.

@augustus tfw someone searches for a city in California on a California website and is surprised they get California

My FBXL search immediately shows the razed city.

@jeffcliff @schnits I'm with you guys too.

Fuck that shit. We don't live in Nazi Germany yet, no I don't have my papers and no you can't see them. Maybe I'm vaxxed. Maybe I'm not. I guess you'll never know!

@DavidBlue Imagine being the guy who writes the on hold music. I wonder how he'd feel?

@alex @deavmi then I'm asking right now because that would be funny.
