Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

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...

The CPI is such a mangled metric, they really do a great job of hiding the reality of how much harder it's getting to live...

... From themselves. The rest of us don't have butlers doing our shopping for us, and we can see how bad basic groceries are right now.

It would be funny if she was some Dutch freak like that trying desperately to find love but being vag blocked by clouds blocking her view of the little people.

Let me translate this for our American brothers:

"I will friendzone you if your height is less than 6 feet and 2.4 inches"

Which seems strangely specific if we're being honest.

There's never really been a system where police can't do that...

Ah, the answer is they didn't compensate for it in any way and they probably didn't want to. It's just a phone survey.

Go figure that a "national violence against women survey" would find out exactly what such a survey explicitly intends to find based on the title.

I can't think of any way you could measure that properly without biological biases kicking in hard. "Oh, it wasn't *real* violence, she was a girl! teehee!"

At this point, a war between Biden's USA and Trudeau's Canada would be a sissyfight between armies of they'd.

These guys are shooting themselves in the head. If they keep associating the word "disinformation" with "true facts we don't like" then the boy who cried wolf will be eaten sooner or later.

Absolutely, it's one of those things where perception and reality don't necessarily meet.

Yeah, for most people who downloaded stuff maybe you'd get a nasty email from your ISP. But for some people, they ended up with a life-changing lawsuit or their internet shut off, and for some businesses that were based around this stuff they ended up with the Apocalypse play where an entire industry sued their companies and directors into the history books.

Ultimately, decentralization is the only way to protect free speech, because it takes any one actor out of the equation.

Even if I keep using youtube and rumble, I'll continue to do what I can to expand the peertube ecosystem.

This is the secret they don't want everyone to know: A "no fossil fuels" policy is a genocidal policy. Billions would die.

s...shut up..... This is totally inaccurate...... for starters I'm almost 40....

I can't believe that you are opposed to the glorious worker's revolution that'll kill most of the workers.

Really odd, most data centers have top notch fire suppression systems. They trigger before the fire starts, and can suppress fires without damaging anything else.

I know a guy whose entire job for several years was setting such fire suppression up for a major data center. Some of the stuff he showed me was out of this world.

"Why don't people trust gaming media anymore?"

It's like buying power indulgences from the Catholic church.

I know wikipedia is suspect these days, but this article matches with the story I was told by a lawyer:

https://wikiless.org/wiki/English_land_law?lang=en#History

"Feudalism meant that all land was held by the Monarch. Estates in land were granted to lords, who in turn parcelled out property to tenants. Tenants and lords had obligations of work, military service, and payment of taxation to those up the chain, and ultimately to the Crown. Most of the peasantry were bonded to their masters. Serfs, cottars or slaves, who may have composed as much as 88 per cent of the population in 1086,[4] were bound by law to work on the land. They could not leave without permission of their Lords. But also, even those who were classed as free men were factually limited in their freedom, by the limited chances to acquire property. "

Historically speaking, everything was the property of the king and simply granted for a limited time. It was a little after the dates above that the first property rights were established. Just the ability to own property was a big change, and later on the ability to have land solely pass to your heirs, rather than having your superiors be able to take it from you at any time.

"[...] the Statute of Westminster 1285 formalised the system of entail so that land would only pass to the heirs of a landlord. The Statute Quia Emptores Terrarum 1290 allowed alienation of land only by substitution of the title holder, halting creation of further sub-tenants."

Which quickened the process of the end of feudalism. The story is really interesting, and one I come back to often when talking about labor rights and the effects of certain ostensibly unrelated policies on the same.

"Buried alive.... Buried alive......"
