I gave up on that idea after covid. If you couldn’t be bothered to put a piece of fabric over your face to protect your neighbors, it’s a lost cause.
Most people don’t care about anybody but themselves, and possibly their immediate family. That was a lonely realization.
This is such a stupid take. Every time I hear someone say we HAD to drop nuclear bombs on them to make them stop. Its such horse shit. It was a show of force to show the USSR what the U.S. was capable of. Nothing more.
Thanks for the tips! I only just downloaded Matrix. (Element X) to my phone. I’ll have to do some more research on it. I personally could probably set up my own instance if I had to, work it to me, probably not. I mostly use discord for game jam hosting these days, and DnD with my friends. So, if the level of effort is high, or the barrier to entry isn’t low, I don’t imagine ill get a lot of people switching over to the new space. I guess we’ll see what happens.
I’m not threatening, I’m gonna do it. We’ll see how my game jams go after this. I doubt my entire community will follow me.
Edit: I downloaded Element X for Matrix, and it seems to only be capable of creating a single chat similar to WhatsApp. Tried to download Revolt, and I cant get that one to even send me a verification code to my email. Starting of strong here…
Social media is a scourge on society, mostly bcz of the propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation campaigns from state actors. This is a very different and real issue we as a species are dealing with.
Right…I’m so glad we are now importing our awful foreign policies at home 🙄
Yeah, sometimes I think this site is really stupid. Everything is an argument about who is the most left wing pure individual. And then we wonder why the right has taken over this country and we’re closer than ever to a literal christiofascist dictatorship.
Please tell me you’re from a troll farm. Bcz this is a hot take if I’ve ever seen one.
What bothers me is that we actually have people willing to do that stuff. Means they are morally bankrupt enough to cover this stuff up without a thought.
Capitalists are so annoying. The hubris to assume we can accelerate climate change and ignore it and everything will just be hunky dory. It’s astounding these ding dongs think they’re outside the Earth system and not a part of it.
There is no problem here.
No, the post is very clear. The press is minimizing what happened. It doesn’t at all invite a terminology discussion. You’re being downvoted to all hell bcz you’ve doubled down on your stance no matter who you are talking too.
Why are you trying to inject a terminology discussion into this? Everybody here is clear on what was going on. These were children who were trafficked as sex slaves. It isn’t a debate. You’re either part of a troll farm, or just a willfully dense individual with no actual social skills.
This made me felt icky just reading it. The fact that you think there’s even a modicum of defense of this amazes me.
A lot of humans will also die in the next 20 years due to climate change. It’s funny you think we’re just gonna keep on keeping on once climate change gets really bad everywhere.
What i don’t get is how Trump was supposedly in the Epstein files long before becoming president, and they just chose to do nothing? They could have arrested him and locked his ass up just like everyone else.
Just another reminder that there are two sets of laws, one for the rich, and one for the rest of us.
A bit more expensive? I was able to get a smart tv for like 800 bucks. The same equivalent dumb tv would have been a few thousand dollars and Best Buy said they would only sell it to business accounts which was infuriating to read.
Right… a tool that is destroying our planet all in the name of “the economy”.
Yup, streaming your games is great for the environment too…oh, wait, no it’s not. Just ignore that part.
