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...

hahaha 13.7% over 5 years?

Good luck with that.

Bugger didn't even finish his building before kicking the bucket!

Good luck with that, Nintendo.

I mean, you're not wrong.

whatifalthist compares our current establishment society as a woman egging on her husband until he snaps -- It's difficult to understand why these people are trying to make the people whose goodwill they rely on hate them.

On the other hand, I've seen women like that irl -- for them, it makes them feel in control putting the more powerful person (physically, socially, financially, whatever) they're relying on into a role of an attacked loser in the short term, even if it means ultimately losing that person's support in the medium term.

Before the French Revolution, first the nobility dramatically underestimated its own power leading to appointments with the guillotine during the Revolution since it turned out the nobility had no real power -- not only did the people support the revolution, but so did the army who was sick of the nobles shit, and later the leaders of the revolution such as Robespierre underestimated their own power leading to their own appointment with the guillotine.

This goes to show that sometimes there is no greater plan, the powers that be are simply decadent and disconnected from the reality of the consequences of their actions right up until the moment those consequences manifest. It could get seriously ugly.

Although the scenario seems unlikely, if it did happen I'd have little sympathy since they've been so openly hostile to the concept of justice as a whole.

OTOH, many of these folks are walking darwin awards, since they've been convinced having any kids is totally evil (though unfortunately many of them also want to soak up other people's kids into their suicidal ideology as a result)

How can they measure whether men or women are more scared at night if they don't even know what a woman is (and presumably what night is?)

I know pleroma and soapbox have MRFs you can apply to posts for such purposes, does mastodon not?

Oh man... Some of these folks would die if they saw my posts.

Idiots don't realize that if Trump got off the ballot on these grounds there might not be a Democrat left in government. Every judge must have realized the implications.

Lol "to distract from our illegal election meddling, here's some accusations of illegal election meddling!"

Aren't like 60% of his recipes mostly seed oils?

These people are actually pants on head retarded. Their 37 monthly jabs seem to have caused intense brain damage.

Do you believe in miracles? Yes! Yes!

She won one place, it wasn't even a state.

The thing is, even there there's a lot of options. Will your kids be raised by instagram? Youtube? Will they sell the high seas? Will they become weebs? There's just so many different options at this point, there's almost no broad generalizations you can make.

It's pretty funny to think, there are entire generations who will have grown up essentially without mass media.

Millennials would have ditched their cable TV years ago, and so some gen z'ers and most gen alphas will have grown up with a potentially unlimited combination of media in front of them.

It will be interesting to see what the final outcome of all this is.

Often the difference between people who are advocates for these green technologies and those who aren't isn't a disagreement about whether climate change exists and is something we should be dealing with, but instead is a disagreement between somebody who doesn't care whether the technology actually functions and somebody who needs the technology reliably to function or face personal calamity.

The final arbiter of Truth is reality, and reality doesn't care how good your intentions actually are. If you can't make it to work and don't get paid for an extended period of time because your 20,000 Euro battery is dead, your landlord (or the bank) and the grocer will not accept good intentions instead of money.

Don't worry, their agents in the press are just doing it for good boy points

Men often use physical force or domination to get their way, but women use GSR, or Gossiping, Shaming, and Rallying.

Through that lens, our current moment in time is a haven for female psychopaths, because GSR is given disproportionate weight. That's one reason why for example when someone makes a shitty movie the people who didn't pay to go see it are called ists and phobes.

There's a possibility of another Hollywood strike.

Kinda seems like the longer they're not making flops the better for the studios.

A lot of people rewrote history to assume everyone knew there was going to be big money in computers or that they were going to be a big social institution.

In reality, even when I was a kid the computer nerd was considered a loser pursuing some weird niche hobby that would get you socially ostracized and didn't have any immediate paths to gainful employment.

It really wasn't until the late 90s that people really started to understand what had made those social outcasts so excited.
