Yeah, I was being a bit glib about that. Who knows, maybe we can bankrupt Tesla before he does.

I think you’re looking at averages and not median. The US has a lot more billionaires and now trillionaires. Median household income in Australia is $1800/week and in the US it’s $1500/week and plummeting plus our unemployment is now through the roof to a degree that’s not even being measured accurately. And we go broke from healthcare.

I know you pay more for some elements of gaming, and you’re being shafted on that. But maybe check the news out a little and ask if Call of Duty is really worth all this.

I am in the midst of setting up a Friendica install for my larger community. I’m trying out Elest.io for it, using netcup servers so I don’t have to deal with the security and hardening and starting off as cheap as possible with expandability. Just to try to filter people away from Facebook. A lot of people are starting to leave Facebook and I think it’s time to go back to basics. I might try to set up a Matrix server as well, but one thing at a time.

Incogni feels like a product the data brokers created to double tap your data and get paid for doing it.

That is never a safe assumption in US schools

Does she need to have your back? Was she even part of the dialogue until you whatabouted her into the conversation? She’s a shitty person and a fucking cop who supports bad historical policies that benefit the rich. But I can safely say that she wouldn’t invade a sovereign nation for her own personal gain. She doesn’t have a long history of fucking children and getting away with it. She wouldn’t tank the entire economy, remove people’s right to marry or get health care or endorse a reckless anti-vaxxer whose efforts will be felt for decades (but only by the survivors of outbreaks of what should be long extinct diseases). She would do shitty things to good people. She wouldn’t fix the system. But she wouldn’t be doing gestures around all of this. And maybe you can’t respect the idea of harm reduction. Maybe you don’t know a lot of people hanging on in the fringes or maybe you’ve crossed over it and don’t give a fuck about others anymore. But I still do. I still want my friends to live. I still want a future for the children of today.

You people are ridiculous. I hope you’re bots and not thinking individuals.
