Where would you cut?

I think it seperates people, and that can have a harmful effect on people.

You slowly whether living for the good of all mankind (in your mind), excessive pleasure, or avoid the world more and more, just start living an experience that doesn’t make sense to more and more people.

It happens on small scales too. Like a trip to Hawaii or Disney world, or being able afford only “ethically” sources goods and having time to volunteer at your local animal shelter. These are experiences that people have seen have wanted but ultimately never afforded.

Like having time and money to travel to you families for thanksgiving, that is just not going to happen for some people, and the experience of begging for overtime to stock before black Friday is something those people may never experience or even think about.

Just like that stocker may never experience taking the kids to dump to sort through trash to find things to sell to help make it to next year’s seasonal work.

We view world through our eyes alone and can only fathom the rest.

Their harm is hidden and any benefits sung from the roof tops.

The old password deciphering wrench attack. https://xkcd.com/538/

My HP is good, but it’s one of the liquid ink ones instead of cartridges. Got for PPS support so I new it would just print things on my network.

Wish I had a open source option though. And or at least a manufacturer that was possibly using slave labor (made in China and all that).

I lied about my age online a WHILE ago and I’m going to let you know old farts get bombarded too.

Its gotten better since my old persona died I think (you know over 120 is just out of most marketers age ranges).

I hate ads with a passion, if a friend shows me a video and an ad pops up I show them how to use fence and ad blockers on their phone right away.

I remember there was like a twilight where yelp was helpful, then it wasn’t and I learned all their shady shit and went “yeah that explains it”.

Reddit has a longer amount of content to burn through but if it becomes just husks of communities puppetted by corporate pr firms it’s going to just slowly cannibalize.

If can protest in a way that drives engagement makes are numbers better it’s allowed. Lmao what clowns.

Its like the king says you can send him extra grain as a protest for this years unfair taxes

I don’t disagree that there is a ton of development from volunteers and non profit (ngos, Universitys and governments) but the majority seems to be from big tech at the moment.

Just saying they are contributing a lot and in those ways the Internet is better for it.

Used to be a bigger fan, but for the same reason I became more libertarian I’m not so sure it’s a practical philosophy. The biggest issue is that as soon as someone decides what is or isn’t good genetics you get a lot of bias. The majority of the human experience is social anyways.

Do you use any Firefox or chromium web browser, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, or WASM because I’m 90% most of the development for all of that comes from Ad companies or companies funded by ads.

Left over fajitas and refined beens.

Not the guy, but I hope it’s oat milk based. Very creamy milk, kind of airy frozen.

Right it begs the question.

Is me not receiving care or having access to care REALLY better for me?

If the answer can’t clearly be yes, then they are just choosing to make me ill or kill me for their perceived interests.

Yes. Honestly just bought a chip so I can mess around with librebooting my laptop.

Its about harm reduction my man. Meth is bad on the heart but so is excessive grease. I’m going to just never use meth and cut down my excessive fat consumption where I can.

My literal dream. I’ve actually been looking at Edison Motors retrofit kit for hybrid diesel electric to try and revive a junker rather then selling two kidneys for the down payment on a truck I couldn’t afford to get scratched.

And they ruin the truck market because they are happy to shell out stupid money to park in the suburbs

Its about a third of the people I know. Stuff like Chewy help but then we can’t buy it from the farmers co-op.

They snap store is proprietary

I am probably going to break down and get truck again. Most uses people give are bs. A tarp and car will let you haul 90% of what you want. Chicken, dog, cat, pig feed. Car is fine. All of those animals too (though 300 lb pot belly pushes the limits).

If you stick it out the back of the trunk you can haul long lumber. You can load a surprising amount of rocks and concrete too.

You are probably loading and unloading appliances that often. Or furniture.

If it wasn’t for the travel trailer I would suffer through it, but its the straw that broke the cammals back. Renting is just such a pain in the dick too. I would rather have a piece of junk desiel that I am tinkering with the schedule a day to pick up a truck to race around trying to use it before I run out time.

If I need to clear brush. I just want to go do it. If I need rocks I just to get a load. Friend or family moving I can just bring the truck.

Don’t get me wrong I hate a lot of the truck out there. I don’t need a new house worth of truck to move junk around.
