This is the worst advice I’ve ever heard. Good intent is meaningless to law enforcement. You got away, don’t put yourself in jail and definitely don’t hand the evidence to the people who will press charges as hard as they can for scare tactics.
I am not a lawyer.
At a moment of heightened chance to set on the path of not being a nazi in the future. (For individual participants, org is still shit obv)
Thanks for posting all these pics of Portland! I enjoy the memories of standing in the same spots where you took the picture (for most of them). Good nostalgia, sometimes i miss the place.
Horny people write the best fiction
If this is AI gen edit then that would be the cherry on top
Capitalist: “You should use my product”
Groundbreaking.
I don’t think it’s counter-intuitive.
US prison causes severe trauma. Prisoners learn to survive in an environment where they have to engage in aggressive behavior just to get through their morning. Everything is taken from them, no opportunity for personal development, and they’re thrown on the street with zero resources after. It’s practically designed to force people to repeat the cycle and feed the prison system.
It’s profitable too, 14th amendment and all. A prison company wouldn’t want to reduce it’s slave labor force so there’s no incentive to do better. Historically it’s an easy win for politicians too.
While I’m not a fan of most carceral systems at least the Norwegian one tries not to treat people like livestock. That said, a prison is still a cage.
By going sub only you also prevent a lot of in-group from finding it while leaving the gates open to raiders/trolls…
For people not engaging with the ideas you have moderation which may take a community lead approach towards rules and actions. Slap on wrist, temp bans, and longer term bans work for individual bad faith actors. Honestly this works well on dbzero even if its not “perfect”.
A better argument for more aggressive exclusionary action I can see is if the community’s moderation efforts are overwhelmed leading to moderator burnout.
The fediverse is focused on creating social media platforms on an open framework without the pitfalls of corporate run closed platforms. The ability to create walled gardens is a feature of that greater endeavour.
I think one of the greatest challenges the left has is to combat the learned helplessness of liberal society which leads to such things as bootlicking propaganda regurgitation. Because state and corporate media have immense resource investment and capture this is always going to be a battle fought by talking with individuals who haven’t been pushed to think so critically about their inherited philosophical position. Fighting that change is just part of learning.
Criticism and exclusion have conflicting goals. Criticism is about inciting critical thinking and reflection, hopefully change. It allows for more engagement across viewpoints and builds cohesion. Exclusion reinforces bubbles and pushes communities to senescence.
If you want to do drugs do them sparingly and if there are any you can’t do then sparingly don’t do those ones at all.
The “buzz” or high is just the body’s response to an abnormally activated hormonal or neurological system. But dependent on which system for the affect. Maybe a good feel system is extra activated, maybe a bad feel system is suppressed, or some other path.
Alcohol artificially activates your gaba system(calms or excites lots of processes which gives the alcohol buzz/relaxation) which causes it to dysregulate as it adjusts to the presence of alcohol over months and years of regular use. Withdrawals are that you feel depressed and anxious (your brain cannot chill), your judgment becomes impaired (as much as if you were drinking) and you learn alcohol is a great cure for the experience.
Other drugs have similar mechanics on dopamine, or seratonin, or other hormones. And the highs along with hangovers and withdrawals are correspondingly different.
The heightened presence over time dysregulates the body’s affected system. Then short term sobriety leads to drug seeking behavior because the body learned that it’s easier and less painful to take the substance than to wait and doing nothing while suffering and letting the brain learn to restore a baseline.
Do drugs sparingly, and if there’s one you struggle to do sparingly, don’t do it at all.
Lots of edits sry
Yeah never going back
I like the latent reduction in “Apps with significant usage”. I will assume it’s due to the abandonment of apps after developer adoption of vibe code or AI as primary dev tool and subsequent reductions in performance, utility, or ergonomics. Or alternatively/additonally that good apps just get drowned in the slop noise.
Same! I also just feel it’s bourgie.
If you don’t wear outside shoes in the house then you can go quite a bit longer.
e=mc^2
So
c=√(e/m)
Or actually do calculus but screw that let’s just speculate that a photon having a lessr infinite energy is equivalent to a lower speed of light. Therefore space has shrunk or time has expanded or the opposite or whatever.
No cold flow would move mass to the lower side when being held vertically causing an imbalance. If you spin up a balanced disk it comes to rest at a random angular position or motor pole.
Randomizing the side of the disk that is down regularly and with relatively short intervals keeps the average displacement of mass due to cold flow near zero.
Of course rotating would also work but that would require a motor with fine positional control when reliable systems thrive on simplicity.
Spin them once daily or weekly. As long as they’re balanced that should randomize the gravity vector.
It’s also almost certainly a different composition than century old glass panes made for buildings. So the material itself might mitigate this issue
i enjoyed it at a 9/10 level.
I can see how you’re thinking on the lack of brevity but i disagree. With the depth of history and emotion it’s trying to convey it could easily have had even more time.
