  US authorities can’t be trusted imo.

  Just FYI, Mexico uses metric.

  We need a version with all four of them thinking to be together as all four.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old are ferns, anyway?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  God I wish that were me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Divide and rule. A tale as old as capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, that’s also the reason I have them a lot.

  Other times it’s just me being too lazy to close them, cause I feel lost in all the tabs and don’t know anymore which to close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually calculated this a while ago. I’m not going by just “essentials” but also taking in account that furniture will take up space. So you need just enough to not feel ‘cramped’.

  Assume you need at least the following:

  • Bedroom: (bed + cabinet for clothes): 8 m₂

  • Dinner area (table and chairs) 10 m₂

  • Toilet and washing basin 2 m₂

  • Shower (including rack) 4 m₂

  • Kitchen (sink, oven, hot plate, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, rubbish bin) 8 m₂

  • Living (couch, TV or whatever) 8 m₂

  • Extra space[1] (your niche) 8 m₂

  • Hallway (clothing rack) 6 m₂

  • Optional [2] (outdoor) 10 m₂

  [1] You could also distribute the extra space for the other rooms. Just consider it a sort of ‘backup’.

  [2] For this I count a garage, garden, or bicycle storage. But I consider it optional since not everyone has or strictly needs those for good comfort.

  Altogether, you then get about 54-64 sq m for an household of 1-2 adults (may include a small child or pet).

  So a good fist rule might be 60 sq m, then add 20 sq m for each extra person.

  The one who asked the verification service also shouldn’t know who the verification service is, imho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Zero-knowledge proof. Medium has an example, though unfortunately the article logs user data, so beware on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees through the lies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, for that reason I don’t share cracked views, even as a joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Palantir is American terrorism and infiltration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How hard would it be to trap gated communities by crashing dozens of cars into the front of their gates blocking them from leaving ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the way you are thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Your brother is what we would call a “leech”.

  Poor people who do the same as him would be put to sleep on the streets. But him? He gets tax breaks and he makes other peoples’ lives a living hell.

  I hope your brother encounters the consequences of his own actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It did actually have some effect, though. The GDPR and countries reducing their dependence on the USA’s intelligence services are part of it.

  I’m also reminded of the Panama Papers, which did make some bankers in Iceland step down.

  Isn’t American water usually more polluted near large industries?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a pay raise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It saddens me to hear that stigma. For authoritarian forms I can understand, but for liberationist forms, it’s a pity. We need to overcome that stigma imposed by red and cash fascists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a pay raise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically, stalinism and marxism-leninism.

  I’m not so sure it would have that reputation for anarchocommunism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People in my LinkedIn feed right now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, my idea is moreso centered around making it harder for people in public offices to ever have been corrupted by privatisation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People in my LinkedIn feed right now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, the other commenter made me realise it is also a stupid idea.

  Just making hiding wealth a criminal offence isn’t enough, in my view. A politician should never once have had a well-paid job at a corporation.

  T. Itcock, perfect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People in my LinkedIn feed right now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, good point, I was mostly thinking of tax havens like Dubai and so on. But everything to hurt the Christofascist little hands helps.

  Appeasement never once has helped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People in my LinkedIn feed right now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why citizenship-based taxation for once is a good thing.

  Put up tons of adblockers and malware blockers (that are actually reliable), including those that block fake download buttons. Then download.

  as a normal and functioning person, i prefer liberty over capitalism

  just ask anarchist and council communists, they want a society without greed and without authoritarianism
