Cities tried, shops ended up closing, causing a lot of problems for the community. The corpos won’t make it easy to pull one over on them.

I get why you think that, but it does not say permanent.
If the birth control lasted 1-6 month to ensure active addicts would not have children, I would be kind of in favor of it. There is nothing good about a child being raised by addicts or taken by CPS and going through orphanages/foster care.
- Comment on How it feels using TOR as a Brit rn 🤘 4 weeks ago:
I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don’t give a shit about UK and don’t require any verification. So one again, just the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones.

And here we see an example of a severely endangered kind of Lemming. One that can be fair to the side they disagree with.

- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 5 weeks ago:
Well, yes. I just did not consider them to be the ones discriminating if it is against the law, but the government.

Putting the ridicoulous idea that governments are fair and transparent aside, payment processors need to be international. Otherwise, most countries will not be able to access services because their local payment processor is not supported.
However, the payment processors should be regulated with something similar to net neutrality where they can discriminate. And EU could launch a government run competitor to dilute their duopoly.

Still gets you places almost the same. Just have to have the foresight to leave space for it above ground.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 1 month ago:
Be careful, if you do a “protest buy”, they may legally be able to not accept the return since you already knew about the contract. So you know, either don’t do it or at least don’t post on social media about it.

No joke, YandereDev has been making more progress than Thor on Hartbound.

I’m not gonna go out of my way to review bomb his game or send him messages or at him on twitter. But I am not gonna stop calling him a narcisistic idiot whenever the topic comes up. People should know. That is not harassment, that is countering misinformation, at least IMO. A meme like this is not harassment in my book either.

No offense, but I seriously doubt you’ve done any of such analysis.
Well, go do the analysis for yourself then. But no, you would rather live on fairytale than look at your beliefs critically.
Part of the reason you know USSR sucked is because they had to do it publicly.
Yeah, why not show complete ignorance of history.
You wrote you’re supporting of the kind of socialism a lot of socialists would consider capitalism
No I didn’t.
So instead we should support a system where political motives are commodified and corporations sell the power to influence the political landscape…
You ever heard of the concept of lesser evil? That is what I consider capitalistic social democracy. If you find an even less evil system that does not just run on hopes and dreams, I will switch my support to that one.
- Comment on I'll care when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers. 5 months ago:
Once you come up with an economic model that both works economically and does not hand power to elected officials or some other such group,
I literally wrote that I would support some form of socialism. That is not sarcasm. I am not talking about one example, I am talking about economic and game theory principles.
If you analyse the common forms of socialism using those, it is obvious it will always devolve into authoritarianism. The incentives between leaders and the population are too misaligned.

Comparing all capitalism to the US is the same as comparing all socialism to the Soviet Union.
There are plenty social democracies in Europe. I advocate for spreading those and making incremental improvements to them where appropriate.

Yeah, blame the Russians. As if the Russian revolutionaries were not fighting for the same ideals you believe in. Just by not realizing that eliminating capitalists concentrated all the power in the government and handed power to Stalin on a silver platter.

I don’t own much capital, but I live in a post communist country and I sure as hell don’t want to experience the shit our country already went through once.

Then go ahead and start one :D Good luck finding a bank that gives you an unsecured loan to start a business.

Then it is not equally owned as the title says.

I also want to receive stuff for free.
Who doesn’t want to join a co-op and receive shares of the company for free. Almost no one wants to start a co-op, financing it, taking risks and responsibilities only to give shares away for free and gain nothing for their risks.
- Comment on Plex ending support for Watch Together 6 months ago:
The easiest and most secure solution is probably tailscale. Just VPN into your local network instead of exposing Jellyfin to the internet.
An alternative I am using is Caddy reverse proxy with Authelia for authentication. So I have to log in to Authelia before I can access Jellyfin. Beware though, it took me like 2 days to properly configure Authelia. It is rather complicated.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 months ago:
My bad, I thought it was about payments in general (including other programs) but it says social security database. Sorry.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 months ago:
Another accusation Elon made was that payments are going to people missing SSNs.
A much simpler answer is that not all Americans actually have an SSN. The Amish for example have religious objections towards insurance, so they were allowed to opt out from social security and therefore don’t get an SSN.

Seems to me like names were censored in the released screenshots. Were there uncensored screenshots that I missed/were deleted?

Although statistically, it should be males being afraid to walk home at night.

Idk if it bypasses limitations, you can try. As for bullshiting, no. The AI almost certainly does not have the ability to go and open a webpage. If it was trained on wikipedia, it may give you the age listed at the time of it’s training. If not, it will likely take a different source and pretend it is from wikipedia. Either way, it will likely bullshit you about doing what you asked while giving you outdated/wrong information.

Yeah, I have a 7 pro and it seems more like top of mid-tier device rather than a flagship, but I got it for GrapheneOS and will buy Pixel again just because of it.
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 7 months ago:
I use Tuta. It works decently well.
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 7 months ago:
If you are willing to forego Google Pay, I strongly recommend GrapheneOS.

I have to tell you what calories are, because it sounds so incredibly unhinged.
Calorie is a physical unit of energy. For food, calories are measured by removing all water from the food, turning it into powder, enclosing it in a metal container, submerging said container in water, measuring the temperature of the water, then setting the food on fire, which causes it to explode, and measuring the temperature of the water again.
By taking the difference between the temperature measurements, you can calculate how much energy the food released when exploded and that is the foods calories.
So calories basically tell you how explosive a food is.
What does that have to do with anything? Who knows.
