  Dogs can be racist.

  Absolutely you can compete my dude. Just not if you’re doing it commercially. If you have the space you can grow everything you need and save a ton of money.

  The problem is everyone can’t do that. It doesn’t scale. To feed 8 billion you need the big ag machine. But you, yourself, if you want to focus your time and effort on digging in the soil instead of being a corporate cog, can absolutely support your needs for very cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to manage contact information between Android and Linux without any Big Tech software?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use fossify contacts, which allows you to read and write your contacts to/from a VCF file (as opposed to import/export which must be manually done, this keeps them in the file so as you add/remove contacts the file is updated) and synching to keep the VCF file synced between my devices. No servers of any of that maintenance overhead needed.

  You can use synching for all kinds of stuff too. I sync calendar (with fossify calendar) and a keepass PW database and 2fa keys this way.

  Typo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey there gamers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The sum of all natural numbers smaller than and including x is equal to

  (X+1)(x/2)

  The sum of all even numbers up to and including x is that minus (n/2)² so

  [(X+1)(x/2)]-(x/2)²

  That would mean the sum of all odd numbers under x is equal to

  (x/2)²

  or sum of all odd including x (if x is odd of course) is

  [(x+1)/2]²

  Since the sum of all even numbers up to x is the sum of all numbers minus the sum of all odd numbers.

  [-(X/2)² +2x +1]/2 (another way of writing the sum of all evens under and including a number) looks suspiciously polynomial. I want to go further.

  I don’t know what he would do, I doubt veryuch different, and way less apologetic about it. But it doesn’t matter what he would do, what matters is the optics. One has a track record of funding genocide, the other doesn’t. This will sway a lot of people to at the very least stay home.

  You go into the Trump circles. Pinch your nose and go see. Their pitch isn’t “he isn’t biden” or “vote for Trump or you’re picking Biden.” They actively like him and want him to be president, whether we disagree with that or not thems the facts. People aren’t bringing up Trump because he’s Biden’s opposition, people are bringing up Trump because that’s what the election is about. Biden’s whole reason for viability is that he is running against Trump, that’s it, that’s all, that’s his campaign slogan and platform. “I’m not Trump”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because Biden’s entire pitch is “I’m not Trump”. Nobody actually likes him or wants him to be president, they’re just stuck with bad choices in front of them. So you talk about the merits of Biden, that’s the only one you’re going to get, because that’s all he’s got. And in the face of a genocide, people can’t stomach it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t scare people into supporting something they find abhorrent this time. This rhetoric is not going to work. We are talking about a fucking genocide my dude. You’re delusional if you think “but pussygrabber” is going to motivate principled people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point these people are making here is that they’d like to not support evil at all and “but the other guy is worse” is the entirety of the fucking problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Don’t mind what we do because the other guy is scarier”

  That sham will work up to a point.

  This is proof to me that the federated model has failed. I was so hopeful early on in the fediverse, I thought it was all we needed. I no longer feel that way. It’s not a network of users, its a network of power tripping fiefdoms.

  Client relay network topology is the future of social networking. Check out Nostr (and ignore all the bitcoiners, see the network for what it is).

  Well enlighten me then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible for someone to "become gay" or were they always predisposed to it?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible for someone to "become gay" or were they always predisposed to it?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well there are acquired tastes…

  I think most folks are bi…

  Yeah, that’s what I’m saying, but I’m adding that the opposite can happen also, as did in Rome, and that for some homosexual people is happening due to social pressures in their immediate environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible for someone to "become gay" or were they always predisposed to it?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While most people want to believe their traits are innate, the fact is Rome wouldn’t have been able to function the way it did if this were true. The existence of Rome and its sex as an institution empirically disproves the hypothesis.

  I’m sure there were some men in Rome that were disgusted by the prospect of sex with men and either did it anyway as a duty or found every excuse not to, and I’m sure there were men that salivated at the idea from an early age. But by and large most of the men’s sexuality was malleable. This is certainly also the case today, there are probably some people strongly predisposed to one or the other from birth, but for most people sexuality is largely conditioning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible for someone to "become gay" or were they always predisposed to it?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was that guy that hit his head, went into a coma and woke up gay. So it’s possible.

  Homosexuality, specifically pederastry, was a foundational institution in Rome. This would not have been possible if everyone was either born straight or gay. A significant portion of the gay population were not born day, and a significant portion of the straight population could be gay if the right social pressures existed to compel them to do so. Sexual preference really is largely just that, a preference.

  Probably about like the average now, assuming the same average rate of reproduction for all the different phenotypes.

  That’s not true. I know a couple of women who’ve proudly had many. Some people do in fact like them.

  Believe it or not, there actually are some of us that don’t believe in god and think abortion is wrong. Actually, I hate religious arguments against abortion, they muddy the water and aren’t necessary.
