I think an important thing to note about "a constitutional right to an abortion" is that they just happen to treat this one non-enumerated constitutional right as more protected than every enumerated right. They treated abortion as a right more protected than speech, access to firearms, the right to be secure in your persons, or right to due process.
And then it was supposedly based on a right to medical privacy, but that supposed right was insanely narrow. It only came into existence if and only if you wanted to kill a baby, and the moment you were done killing the baby it magically disappears as if it never happened.

There's three pieces of financial advice I got that I think are really good.
1. Much debt has higher interest than almost any investment you can make. Credit Cards can be 30% or even higher. Therefore, before you invest a penny, you gotta pay down your high interest debt and keep it down. Even if you find an investment that pays the same as the interest on your credit cards, the gain from not paying interest on credit card debt is 100% guaranteed (notwithstanding racking them back up, but that can be compared to selling the stock before it's done growing), and the gain from any 30% stock is absolutely not guaranteed and there's also a chance of your investment going to 0, such as investments in Enron or FTX. No-risk 'returns' are always better than the equivalent high-risk returns.
2. Right now you can put your money in a money market fund and get more than 5% and a low risk. So what you do is to invest your "emergency fund" in something low risk but positive yield, and then get a line of credit, so if you need that money in a pinch, you use the line of credit then pull the investment out to cover the cost. That way, your emergency fund isn't sitting there soaking up inflation, and you have quick access to money if you need it.
3. If you have a spouse who doesn't work or makes much less than you and you live in Canada, then you can put money into a "spousal RRSP". This lets you take the tax benefit yourself, and the money goes into her RRSP. After a few years, that money fully vests and so if she takes it back out the tax hit becomes hers, not yours, and so if she makes less then you can take advantage of the arbitrage between the two. If you're buying a house for the first time, you can put about 35k into a spousal RRSP and take that tax benefit, then immediately use that money to buy your first home, and then over 15 years you can either put the money back into the RRSP, or you can just do nothing and it'll be added to your spouses income tax, and if she is low enough, it's basically making all that money tax-free.

There's only one fact that any American should need to know: the US federal government is already paying as much public money on a healthcare per capita as many countries with single-payer healthcare.
If they could just stop being so massively incompetent, there could be single pair healthcare without raising taxes by a penny. But that's just not possible.

Ok, so I've now added a locally hosted YaCy to FBXL Search (my searx instance), meaning that besides all the corporate search engines, there's now a locally operated search engine (that is also p2p). I've even got it to act as my proxy server so if I happen to find some pages somewhere that don't show up on regular search engines, they should automatically get indexed.
I'll say this: compared to the last time I tried it, it's much better.
One thing is that the latest stable is like 4 years old, so if anyone wants to install searx on linux, they should grab the latest from https://release.yacy.net/ instead of the link they give you.

That's exactly who they voted for in Toronto. That's what Toronto is, and why everyone hates Toronto.
Looks like another key is for people hosting searx to use it as a web proxy so it can crawl those sites and add them all to the index. Wasn't hard to set up on my side, it even uses upnp to make the p2p work.
The only thing I'm still using Google for is YouTube. Say what you will, it's still the best platform for my exact use case.
Replaceable batteries or omnipresent terrorist thought police, I'm ok with replacing my phone every 5 years.
Honestly, it's shocking how little gas a small car can sip, especially if you're driving the limit and not doing lots of hard acceleration or hard braking.
Remember that searx is just a search aggregator, so it can include start page or even Google results depending on how the instance is set up.
I've been using a searxng instance on fbxl that points to most engines other than Google and Bing as my default search engine everywhere -- on mobile on desktop, at home and at work. I keep on thinking that I'm missing something, but then if I have a search that isn't coming up with very good results and I go to Google and try the same search it usually ends up with much worse results. I really expected to miss Google a lot more than I do.
Yacy is a distributed open source search engine. It isn't amazing, but I'm planning to spin up an instance to add to my searx.
Lie about money, its the one thing its ok to lie about all the time. If you have it, no you don't -- youre broke. If you're on track to being a millionaire? No you're not, youre barely making ends meet and its really challenging right now. If you've done some smart moves to limit your ongoing costs? No you didn't, everything has gone way up and you don't know how you'll deal with all these crazy costs.
When you act like Mister money bags, two things happen: first, you find all sorts of new friends who just happen to show up when they know you just got paid. Second, some of your existing friends and family will start looking at you differently, like a resource to be exploited. Its just the nature of some people, they see money and start to think its theirs.
Not that I know for sure, I'm a broke-ass. No, for real. It's why I'm driving around in a 10 year old budget car I bought used in the first place and a bunch of my clothes that had rips got sewn up instead of replaced. I just dont have that kind of money lying around.

Isn't the Core i7-4600U over 10 years old as it is? (Pretty sure fbxl social runs on that generation of processor)
2018: "punch a Nazi!"
2024: "Death to the Jews! Death to Israel!"
I think that might be a speed run.

I can imagine it's scary, what if someone said you said something when in reality you said something way worse?
It should be obvious because editorial standards would require it to be formed as a question. "Should teachers allow bullying of unvaccinated kids?" That way they can go "I don't know, I'm just asking questions. I'm not saying we should! (But I'm not saying we shouldn't....)"
Also, I can't believe someone would create a fake news headline. That's terrible. Who would do that by right clicking, picking 'inspect element' and then changing the headline text? It just spreads disinformation!

Bridge or no bridge, threads is likely to have defederated from all the fun parts of the fediverse and that almost certainly includes mostr.
