Oh it’s a replica? Why do you have it in the first place?
- Comment on What do you do with Nazi memorabilia? 6 months ago:
Who cares if people think you’re a Nazi sympathizer. You know who you are. Anyone who thinks you are without knowing you is a dumbass.
It’s a historical collectors item, nothing more. Keep it. It’s probably really cool.

Dude that entire Wikipedia article is a wild ride. It has got to be one of the most bizarre Wikipedia articles I have ever read. I remember reading it a while back and thinking, wow, some guy that knows about this stuff inside and out just wrote an article about how to develop a nuke. It’s a walkthrough on building out a nuclear program. The level of detail in it is astonishing. I’m very happy to live in a world where I can just access whatever information I want.

- Comment on McDonald's is getting rid of self-serve drinks and some locations may charge for refills 6 months ago:
Yeah man, used to be you could spend like 5 or 6 bucks and get something quick. Full meal too. Nowadays I think those companies are just riding on inertia, Americans are used to eating it and still have this idea that it’s cheaper even though if you think about it for a second it’s not. By the time you pay it’s like 10-12 bucks. Meanwhile there’s a Cuban lady down the street, she has no menu, she just makes one thing each day it’s something different, whatever she wants, you don’t get to decide, you hand her 10 bucks and she hands you a little box of the most delicious surprise you’ve ever had. Why would I pick the corpo garbage over that?
- Comment on McDonald's is getting rid of self-serve drinks and some locations may charge for refills 6 months ago:
I started living this way too. Honestly, fast food doesn’t even have a value proposition anymore. It’s not cheaper than some local family run taco or burger truck/shack, and significantly crappier. Also, the lady or guy handing you your food keeps the money after paying the cook and what not, if they’re not the cook themselves. I’d rather that than it go to frozen patty distributors and stock buybacks or whatever they’re up to these days.
It’s marginally cheaper than a run of the mill sit down joint.
Also soda… I don’t understand why anyone drinks that shit. I used to, then I stopped, and now when I try it it’s gross honestly. Syrup with bubbles in it. You want some, make some ginger ale, its easy and delicious. You cut up some ginger, cook it in a pot with sugar and water, let it cool, put it in a pressure bottle and pitch yeast, it’s ready in a couple of days.
I’ve never ordered door dash or any of that stuff, as soon as I heard about it o was put off by the idea.
You’ve got the right idea man. No lazy food. If it’s not worth effort you’re not actually hungry.

- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 7 months ago:
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.

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 7 months 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] 7 months 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] 7 months 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] 7 months 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.

“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 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? 1 year 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.
