The capitalists will sell us the noose with which we will hang them? or however it goes…

It’s still appropriate to blame Reagan, funnily enough.

I do it all the time

YES. I would federate a car. Not sure about other people.

I got shocked the other day stepping on live wires… I now have a degree in Electrical Engineering. (Actually Not: My experience is not the same as expertise)

I guess i butchered my complaint. I was thinking of migrating accounts or one account for all instances or something like that. Multiple signups are still a bitcannoying. Although it only matters for defederation corner cases and instances closing up.

Ok i butchered it.

I was thinking of federated accounts, not participating in posts across the fediverse.

when you want to migrate instances, its annoying to create the same account name again and again.

That we still can’t use a single account to comment and post outside of our home instance is the most frustrating part of the fediverse and the main contradiction to “you just need one sign up”.

as a CS grad and having worked in software for 10 yrs… this is just delusion.

well yes, I was arguing what HazardousBanjo said. I am on voyager. My initial comment to their parent comment is below yours and the comment from luthis, but not in reply to you.

because advocating against the current DNC establishment is a necessary step to take to stopping the rachet and pinion mechanism. As long as people like chuck schumer exist in the party you can’t be serious about change while advocating to “vote blue no matter who”

thankfully India’s fertility rate is reaching replacement levels. We will see a decline in the mid 2040s-50s. Millenials like me would be kicking the bucket and we (in general) don’t have more than two kids.

did you not read the article?

The lead surgeon, identified only as “Guy H.”, was initially investigated on suspicion of manslaughter. However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

Investigators determined that the injection itself was not responsible for Laniado’s death.

A judicial source told Le Parisien that the procedure was “quickly ruled out” as the cause.

So pathetic they tried to pin this on the surgeon too.

I suppose this is a convenient go to to keep the status quo for people who speak about doing good things but don’t want to rock the boat. When change through peaceful means becomes impossible then non-peaceful events start to take place, and there won’t be any order compared to planned and coordinated transition away from the awful systems in place. Would you like to live through that instead?

Also some random dude running a bodega is not an oligarchy but nobody said it was. Oligarchies exist and their destruction is necessary for actually competitive free markets so the random dude with a bodega is not driven out of business in the first place.

it’s still not affecting his daily life in any meaningful way. He is still worth $108 billion dollars. That can’t be said for normal people like me or others who actually do it because its the right thing to do.

I don’t know if you’re willing to believe there is no need for billionaires to ever be created or for the world to depend on the goodness of their hearts for the functioning of society.

we used to do that fine before the conception of the word “corporation”

I think in this day and age we can stop pretending public relations actually mean anything for the 12 digit club

I wonder why your mindset is like this.

At the 12 digit club it’s ALL about image. Why else would Bill Gates try to do stuff with his foundation? Why would Jeff Bezos try to fly to space with fuck you money? Why would Elon Musk enter a slap fight in twitter and end up buying the damn company?

Elon Musk literally exposed everyone’s grandma’s social security, waved a nazi salute, and turned Twitter into a CSAM generator.

They backpedaled because backpedaling was the right thing to do, not because of any fake consequences you’re imagining.

No they backpedalled because they care about their image. For them, any consequence is far preferrable to tarnishing their image or becoming irrelevant.

Egos control people who have such wealth.

And they wouldn’t do the right thing if it meant they have to admit they are wrong.

its more about the proportion of money you have vs. the money you gave. Bill can give away millions and not notice. I actually have to budget for the rest of the month to remain financially solvent.

You sound like a kid that’s easy to wow with big colourful acts. Hope you have the empathy to realize giving when you have not much yourself is far more impressive and empathetic than tossing money since it doesn’t matter whether you have it or not.

Why would you argue that we should stop doing our duties once we have cast our ballot and the candidate we support won?
