I'm mindful.of Mastodon leading to GAB and Truth social
Alcohol is a depressant ?
Damn Gabe, u doing guerilla marketing now?.
Jokes aside, I do keep looking... Closely and I do hardly any gaming these days, usually 15 minutes on the phone awaiting an apoinment etc.
but the ten commandments in and of themselves have no link to nazi-ism
Yeah nahhh, like the Buddhist symbol was co-opted by the Germans, the commandments are used as a dog whistle by fascists now.
If it was about being Christian they would have used the Beatitudes (words of Christ) not the commandments. If it was about being chest thumping American they'd put the cononsitiution there, speration of church and state etc.
We know WHY they don't use the Beatitudes, because theae fuckers are as close to being Christian as Hitler was to being Buddhist.

Gandhi's famous quote summarizes whats so wrong with Christians doing stupid shit like pinning 10 Commandments to the wall, they have little resemblance to Christ
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Mohandas Gandhi
Arch is it, u know this :)
We sure could use a guy like Carl Sagan these days though
Much love to Sagan but I don't agree, Sagan would have had the same issue if FB was around.
An example he'd be all in on clinate change like he was even back when he was testifying to congress and you think the digital dipshits be "oh well, if Sagan says it color me convinced" ?
There are others eg Brian Cox, (UK) James Hansen (US and a boat load of others all ignnored.
So, shitty service one place but fine across the street ? And Berlin kinda sucks?
Wtf ? I use it semi often and have never enxouterd it either. That seems a little off ? You make it sound like.its all over the place like with Discord.
I just thought the very idea that I would need edge to download a file was dumb
It is but the enshitification continues.

Addiction is a health issue not a policing issie ffs
If they are concerned about deaths they could stop building so many fuckibg roads and get better PT and cycle ways so we use less cars. 11,000 estimated deaths a year from car pollution, not a fucking dicky bird
Yes, a Giant Trance 29er...single track and riding to the single track. Allows me to climb the trails instead of multiple shuttle runs., then ride home.
And some fire road riding eg ride down to the nearby lake and have breakfast on a park bench with my partnernis a common one, once a week or so.
Last time I sent one was,.10 years ago maybe ? I can't.remember..
Still.get them. Alas for 2FA
They were all over Telegram as well, i lurked for a while but after a few months I wonderd if the stupid might take by osmosis, so I left. Some of the shit, take an ounce of sanity and then roll it with a giant doobie if inanity and toke away.
Like there was some dude saying Climate change wasn't real and sea levels could not risen and he had way to prove it... Put an ice cube in a glass of water and wait for it to melt..see, sea level rise is a lie and they all agreed with him that it was all bullshit. It took all my self control not punch myself in fave for wasting time hanging with these dipshits let alone wailing in frustration and reply about the entire education system failing them. Who do they Vote for ? Fucking hell
No particular order
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had Tears for Fears, Mad World

Something more melodramatic
Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in Bob Dylan - Jokerman

I have many many that resonate.
On another note, Foster the People .with their "Pumped up Kicks" , what a juxtaposition, that incredible mix of what in the fucking hell lyrics, with a such a boppy tune. HeyYa from Outkast similarly I guess?.
Can't tbink if anythung really, all we've done is refined some stuff butmaybe mRNA vaccines ?
Mostly we've just enshitified everything and/or made it disposable..From headphones to entire operating systems etc.
A few weeks ago, the Jones family was waking to icy cold winter mornings. Now, they're seeing how far their thumbs can take them on the journey from central Victoria to India.
>In an age where giving lifts to strangers is mostly advised against, this family sees it as their preferred option to get to India, for environmental and social reasons.
>Mr Jones and Ms Ulman do not own a car, have not been overseas in 20 years, and wanted to show their son the world, in the least polluting way possible.
>"We've done a lot of travel before on bicycles and hitching and public transport in Australia," Mr Jones said.

In his new book, Tad DeLay suggests there is no rosy roadmap to go forward – but there are things we can do

> >For denial doesn’t only amount to rejecting the evidence, he argues – it also consists of denying our role in the climate crisis; absolving ourselves through “carbon offsets, hybrid cars, local purchases, recycling”. And in this, far more of us are implicated. > > >In some ways, this argument might not seem all that new. Multiple authors have pointed out that green capitalism, not rightwing deniers of the crisis, is our greatest obstacle to properly confronting the problem. DeLay agrees. The difference is the lens he brings to it – using psychoanalysis to explain the mechanisms behind denial. > >

The well off are contributing more than their fair share of greenhouse gas emissions from transport, driving more frequently and over longer distances, according to a new study. The work is published in the journal Travel Behaviour and Society.
>The study of New Zealanders' travel habits found that total weekly travel emissions were 79% higher for people in affluent areas compared to those living in lower socio-economic areas.
More than half those who left recently headed to Australia with promises of higher pay and better working conditions
>Olsen said while it is normal for New Zealanders to leave the country, it will be harder to convince people to return, if there are ongoing issues around housing affordability and job prospects.
>That ‘brain drain’ could pose problems for society as the population ages, Olsen said.
>“We need to have as many young people as we can who are still part of the economy … who are being innovative and bringing their new thinking to the game so we can be more productive,” he said.
>“If we are losing our young talent and we’re not able to attract them back it makes all of [that] so much harder.”

Every thing we're doing is wrong, how do we know this ?
