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...

We're not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with us! #feditips

Why is a crappy activitypub clone interesting?

Just implement activitypub.

Several cohorts will face headwinds thanks to many factors. A lot is posted on the exploding-heads parental rights forum, including studies suggesting that newborns are ending up practically subhuman in some cases, toddlers are seeing massively reduced language and social skills, school children are losing the equivalent of years of education because of its ineffectiveness, and I've personally heard anecdotes of college age kids who aren't meeting expectations because of everything that's happened.

The amount of harm these people have caused is immeasurable, especially considering their claims of "harm reduction" as an ideology.

I wrote my book when I realized I needed to start planning for a future he needs to succeed in, just like what you're talking about. Filled the house with all sorts of books for all ages and started lessons from birth because the world's gonna be hard out there and he'll have to be ready.

What the bock did you say to me?

Pretty sure 90s x-men cartoon rogue kickstarted puberty for a generation.

Thanks, graf! I've been meaning to figure out how to customize my emotes for a while.

Sort of an incredible weapon for 1780. 22 rounds a minute, and no cloud of smoke that would be usually associated with the black powder used at the time.

It's 10 o'clock. Have you deleted your paypal account yet?

It's like "Hey, welcome to the past 20 years. Yeah, this is what it feels like."

Wise move on their part.

When you're building a giant cannon, make sure it won't be pointed back at you in the near future.

There are people who want this to be us.

I keep seeing the question "What's the chance of a recession?" Which I find really odd since the US at least is already in one. Depending on how you measure inflation, most of the world already is.

I didn't watch that one until the closing arguments, but holy shit that guy...

Like, did he really think that the jury was going to decide to ignore the video of him plowing through all those people and set him free?

It would be convenient if covid just happens to do the same exact thing that germ and immune system theory would predict would occur from policies enacted. It would mean that the policies didn't have any consequences.

Unfortunately, policies have consequences, and you're seeing the consequences of those policies now.

You prevented kids from socialising, then their immune systems were weakened by not being exposed to germs in their community, then they got sick once they were finally allowed to be around other people.

This is the predicted and predictable consequences of the policies you argued for, made manifest.

We are facing many and varied consequences that were predicted and predictable from these policies from collapsing educational outcomes to collapsing social and language skills in babies to economic stagflation to starvation and collapse in countries and wars from opportunistic regimes.

We tried to warn you.

MY BODY IS READY (to die)

ActivityPub ftw (I mean, obviously...)

I asked about subject matter jurisdiction, why didn't I go free?

Why didn't the jury use jury nullification even once?

Most disruptive technologies are so because they're primarily used for some purpose. Trains transport cargo and people. Semiconductors conduct electricity. The Internet moves around information. When such things are built, it is because someone will pay to make use of a thing for its primary purpose.

If I buy a train ticket, it's not because trains are such a great investment and I can sell the ticket for more later, it's because I want to get from point A to point B and a train is the best option to do so. If I buy Internet access, it isn't because the Internet is such a great investment and I can sell the Internet for more later, it's because I want to argue with spergs on the Internet. If I buy a device like a computer with semiconductors inside, it isn't because computers are such a great investment and I can sell it for more later, it's because I want something I can play vidya on. In fact, over time the cost of those disruptive technologies went down and the quality went up. That's one of the things that made them disruptive.

By contrast, cryptocurrencies aren't primarily used as currencies. Their primary purpose is being purchased by people using fiat currency so they can be sold at a later date for a larger amount of fiat currency, and then people use the acquired fiat currency to buy goods and services. If people stop thinking it's going to go up, then demand will collapse because virtually nobody is acquiring cryptocurrency to use as a medium of exchange.

It's this fact that makes people think they're a ponzi scheme or a pyramid scheme.
