Too bad more people didn’t have their minds changed by Paine’s “Agrarian Justice”. What a banger.

This is really clever if you’re okay with convincing yourself that you know exactly and completely what other people believe… Otherwise it’s a reductionist hot take filled with logical fallacy.

I wiped my ass with a wadded up ball of 25 toilet paper squares for years because no one wanted to tell me about more efficient and effective ways to do it. Bathroom knowledge is like your paycheck. They say you shouldn’t talk about it with your peers, but it needs to be talked about.

These days I can clean my whole ass, even on the most explosive days, with less than 10 squares, and I’m saving so much money.

There’s also the issue that after the moon landing we didn’t really improve that much and much of the knowledge faded

Just in case you hadn’t seen this follow-up:

And some info even suggests that this B.A.C. company was a shell company owned by Israel:

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers.

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.

Not quite as simple as checkboxes, but the ability is there to some degree!

The main difference is who owns the means of production. In communism, the government does. In socialism, the people do.

What would we call a hybrid system in which the government is made up of the people and owns the means of production? Direct Democratic Communism?

Edit to add:

A federation (also called a federal state) is an entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing provinces, states, or other regions under a federal government (federalism). In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision, neither by the component states nor the federal political body without constitutional amendment.

Seems relevant considering “The Federation”.

Thank you for mentioning FairEmail, and thank you @wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world, for elaborating on what makes it great.

Thanks to your recommendations I installed it last night and paid the $6 one-time license fee to unlock the advanced features. Being able to set custom notification sounds per sender is a feature I’ve been wanting on my phone for years. I finally have it now and it’s already changing my life for the better.

This is some top tier mental gymnastics. Holy shit, I hope you’re a troll. You’re literally on the internet discussing your plans to commit fraud. Mensa-level shit, here.

People are going to buy CP one way or another… that means you should make it and sell it to them, right?

Grow the fuck up, and maybe train a LLM on ethics, you’re going to need some education on the subject if you hope to stay out of prison.

Say what you will, but this person absolutely knows what they’re about.

It’s easier to represent as 0.000001 km, imo.

Stalin cherry-picked what he wanted from “Marxism” and left behind the things he didn’t like. That doesn’t make him a Marxist, it makes him a Stalinist, and there’s literally nothing you could say to change that.

You seem to have a rather tenuous grasp on the difference between opinion and fact, yourself.

Thank you. Yes. Nethack is a great comfort game.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is fantastic for me, too. You can play it through your browser (or download it) here.

I have to say, though, there’s nothing quite like a game of Rogue. When I play it I’m instantly transported back to childhood. Rogue was my first real video game obsession as a kid. I found it on my grandfather’s Apple IIgs and was just blown away. I remember being so enthralled by how deep it felt at the time. I had transcribed the commands to a piece of paper so I didn’t have to consult the in-game docs constantly. I was terrible at it, and never got anywhere close to beating it back then, but even dying was fun. You can play it online here. Type ? (or F1) to see the list of commands.

Such a good soundtrack!

While this isn’t specifically about “trans rights”, it does seem to indicate that linux may have an opinion on the subject.
