absolute bullshit, it burns more in carbon to run those machines than it takes out, this is making shit worse at an accelerated pace

I say wait for election day and flip a coin, that’s basically how elections are determined, the arbitrary whims of the margin of people in swing states who go out to vote or not. You’re individual vote does not make any difference in the absence of mass organized action, and the Democrats are terrified of exactly that kind of mass organization because otherwise they wouldn’t be so secure in running corporate puppets like Biden.

my opinion is those boats are too damn big

you know they used to have these things called sail boats

Part of it is due process, but it also means you have the right to not be killed by the actions of the government without being found guilty of a crime.

People who are saying “this is technically correct” forget that The 9nth amendment says this

“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

Which is to say, Just because a right isn’t explicitly enumerated in the constitution does not mean the people don’t retain that right. I would think the right to not have the planet not be destroyed by Fossil Fuel Companies would fall under that, along with clean and and water and all the rest.

it’s amazing there are people who’s job it is to write this bullshit

yes, but that’s not what a ‘spoiler’ is

i don’t think whitehouse dot gov is the best source for this lmao

I don’t like JFK Jr, at all but how is he a “spoiler” if he’s running in the primaries? I thought 3rd parties are spoilers.

another thing you should never do is look into private trackers

true. I know a lot of people are in similar situations, that’s what kept me on facebook for years. I’ll just say at this point, twitter could just die any day now, starting DMing people if you haven’t already and find another way to say in touch.

Personally I prefer to just not pay for anything exept internet and torrent and stream everything for free, much cheaper, no restrictions

Matrix is hella buggy, Session part of the lokinet weird ancap crypto scheme, XMPP is god tier

Briar, now that’s a thingy

I had a conversation with a cryptographer who worked for Wickr he says none of the DoD or other government agents he knew trusted Signal 🤔 - personally I use Signal with my mom or personal friends as like the bottom tier of security, because metadata is a real thing, they don’t have to actually know what you’re talking about. Just using a phone number itself tells you most everything feds need to know if they’re really after you.

if you actually want privacy use XMPP

Yeah Right, China Survived the Great Leap Forward but a marginal decline in fertility rates will lead to absolutely chaos lol

and don’t they run this story every 3 weeks are so?

at this point, with twitter being inaccessible to non logged in user, the ‘public square’ thing is totally done,. Get off twitter now. There are alternatives.

lmao, i’ve been getting that constantly

Westerners love to fantasize about how “China is Collapsing” while their economies are in complete disarray. I’m no defender of their State Capitalist Police State, but China’s definitely doing better than the US is lmao and they certainly are in a better

Like all this shit about “demographic collapse” is complete bullshit. Isn’t it a good thing that the population of the world’s most populous country is decreasing? Doesn’t that mean more resources to go around? Wouldn’t people in China then enjoy a higher Standard of Living, Cheaper food and Housing? At the very least they’ll be in a better shape to handle the climate catastrophe we’re going into. Something the West is not even trying to address.

But yeah China is collapsing, okay.

listening to that right now lol, the new episode on evolutionary psychology is great

I love how it’s both very well researched and thoughtful but also genuinely funny and creative and entertaining.
