Last Notes npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…9cgn @nprofile…4n05 @nprofile…nmr0 Straight men are conditioned to think of dating as adversarial. They're looking to "win" vs their dates. They think women are "the other team" and so they're not trustworthy sources of information. On top of all the vanilla misogyny, the competitive framing of *all* relationships is pathological. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…nmr0 I hope they also come to wonder where all the money went. We paid the military industrial complex immense sums of money, often under cover of "support the troops". Do they feel supported? npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…nmr0 I suspect a lot of people feel "off" but can't quite figure out why. It's like everything in the world just shifted 6 inches to the one side. It's all still there but it's also somehow subtley wrong. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…nmr0 The media is on the bandwagon. "Hooray for the invincible American military who has not and cannot lose!" There is absolutely zero uncompromised media in the mainstream. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…d0yj Whatever specifics need to be hammered out, I'm still pretty sure we need to give up the imperial idea of a "territory". All in with all the privileges and liabilities of a fully represented State or real Independence. We can't move forward together as long as we're still chained to the colonialist power structures. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…3x2f @nprofile…nmr0 Yup. They're only for social justice, equality, regulations, etc. if it costs $0. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…nmr0 That phrase just means "I consider other people's suffering to be a necessary evil for maintaining my privileges". npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…vkla @nprofile…nqsr I had *no" idea. Now I need to answer why they had a congregation in my mailbox some time ago. I went to check the mail and found like 100 of these guys hanging out. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…s4ce I knew Germans had an anti-Arab thing going back at least to the Ottoman Empire but I didn't think it would render them this stupid. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…nmr0 Yup. The donors run the show and the donors are all evil. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…87m8 Even minor vassals are part of the problem. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…gj0l Eat the loss and learn the lesson. That's the only way forward. When the rich (even the micro-rich like the small businesses) actually feel consequences for their actions is when we're on the path back to healthy society. Pay humans a living wage to run your business or don't run a business at all. That's the solution. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…u0qu They stole her wedding ring? What possible justification do they have? npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…jewt We only dislike the Chinese system because it's not entirely about money and classism. Anything goes in the US as long as there's money attached. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…eqw3 @nprofile…4yw8 Do we believe for a second that Rubio will be allowed to recommend anything else? npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…843t Mozilla's AI is still hungry, it needs new user data to ingest after Librewolf started eating their lunches. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…u00v Any deal with Trump is as good as Brexit 2.0 in the long term. He will destroy everyone in his orbit as a simple display of force just because he can. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…6ezj The only freedom they ever wanted was the freedom to unilaterally change the rules in their favor. Literally nothing else matters to them now nor did it ever. They wanted guns to force their way, the 2nd Amendment was always just cover. The NRA suddenly DGAF about the government being overtly fascist and authoritarian because white supremacy was all they ever wanted to defend. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl In our town hall meeting this morning, an executive told us that they plan to give all software engineer jobs to Al. When asked what he might have to say of any comfort to us, he said there are still lots of projects to be done in the meantime. He ended the call by telling us he's uncomfortable with AI coding, knows that we're all uncomfortable with it, and that's exactly where he wants us to be. #capitalism #ai #wtf #executivesDGAF npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…lse8 We have kind of a lot of overseas workers doing stuff for American insurance companies and I don't know how we explain it to them. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @nprofile…s0v8 Any chance the living room power supply is sketchy? The only parts I've had fail on me were subjected, unprotected, to the vagaries of the local power grid. Adding a PiJuice battery backup has saved me even replacing an SD card since I got it. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 So this is going to be their official cover for murders "defending" the voting booth? npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 So he's voting for Trump but doesn't have the guts to do it directly. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1jx4…mf6e They had to pretend to do something after they screwed the pooch on abortion and everything else. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 Don't trust commercial entities to do useful work. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 She doesn't have a choice. It's a for-profit venture and it's going to follow the same shit trajectory as Twitter because it has all the same motivations and players in place. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 He's surprised that bullies empowered by their employers are still bullies? npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 They amplify propaganda all the time, why apologize now? npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 Maybe dogs are just good judges of character. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 The last Republican admin that didn't leave the country objectively worse was Ike. Let's go back to the tax code in effect for his admin. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub132h…f594 We never should have worked as hard as he wanted us all to do. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1su4…a0dw The company who demonstrated how they have zero ethical concerns about unilaterally and retroactively changing contract terms and considers themselves arbiters of "real charity" isn't going to win back approval with a quickie apology and a "please". They showed everybody they're not just kinda sketchy but outright evil. They'll do it again in a heartbeat if attention to the issue ever wanes even slightly. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1ddp…2tax @npub1d33…p3lv I don't that there even is a way without giving judges a scary amount of discretion and I believe that angle is factored into his rhetoric. I still believe his campaign and approach is crafted in part by Russia who has been studying our legal system for decades. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1ddp…2tax @npub1d33…p3lv Trump knew this guy existed in abstraction, he just didn't know this specific person was "the guy". That's been the problem all along, Trump has an army of violent deplorables who openly hang on every word but with no formal command structures he can say almost literally anything and it won't count legally against him personally. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1vgg…pm2j When all you have is propaganda, everything looks like a PR problem. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1c35…9pmh We keep saying this but nobody hears it. We're not addicted to our phones/computers, we're social animals addicted to each other and this is where we find the connection. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl @npub1v2s…mqq5 There's no limit to the corruption at either the large or small scales. He destroyed everything. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl #[0] The notice I received explicitly laid out that it was because it was becoming a paid feature, not that the 2fa feature was being changed, so I'm still not inclined to give them any grace in the matter. npub17g4hruwtcdv8fmmz6yaqrjdx80gn0ctkxu377nsql5acfhlj0d0s2u9epz Urzl #[0] I got the notice a little bit back that they would lock my account with no recourse because I had 2fa turned on and because that was becoming a paid feature they can't let me keep the account with it on and unpaid. Seems like you'd just restrict the account to settings or turn off 2fa on free accounts but they'd just rather lose the reach I guess.
