Some people wanted it to immediately get huge…

Just so it can have all the other issues big social media has.

They didn’t want something different, they wanted to be an “early adapter” of the next reddit.

Removed by mod

Obviously not…

We can fix it right now, but it’s not profitable.

As long as capitalists control the planet, we can’t fix anything that’s not profitable to be fixed.

We could have a machine that prints any food immediately with no resources, but capitalists would never allow that to be freely accessible to everyone. Because that’s not profitable

and had replies that ignored the question I asked and insulted me and said my question was stupid

No you didn’t…

My reply telling them to stop being rude and answer the question if they want to comment was removed by the mods.

Looking at the modlog, you had one comment removed for being flippant and not contributing to the conversation. Which is what you’re claiming doesn’t happen…

Kind of like asking what murderers or drug dealers do…

Different people do it different ways, but lots of high profile cult leaders are in jail, you can actually find out on an individual basis, but if you average them all up, you get no valuable data

It doesn’t matter what the creator of the word thought

Yeah…

That’s why I said:

You can just keep using his word, but not care about his rules.

Thanks for aggressively agreeing with me I guess?

Weird move, and I think it’s more likely you were just confused, it works better if you ask questions when you’re confused.

why the word “literally” doesn’t mean “literally” anymore and we literally don’t have a replacement word.

Literally still means literally, it just ironically also means figuratively now too.

But it’s literally always meant literally.

but did you want to answer the question

I did…

it was made up in the 1940s by some guy who thought vegetarians weren’t good enough, and he set whatever rules he wanted to

Every reason why you can/can’t do something and be Vegan, is because the guy who made the word up ~80 years ago decided it should be like that

You’re acting like it’s a math or science, like it’s based on logic or something…

It’s not, so the answer to “why” is essentially “because the founder said that”?

Does that make sense now?

You can do pretty much whatever you want man…

Like “vegan” isn’t even a century old yet, it was made up in the 1940s by some guy who thought vegetarians weren’t good enough, and he set whatever rules he wanted to.

You can just keep using his word, but not care about his rules.

Or you can make up your own name and rules.

People searching for labels they like and then conforming to every fucking aspect of that label and nothing else, doesn’t work out well.

So please, if you want to eat roadkill just do it.

Yeah, English is the go-to example because the first people to run printing presses in English were Dutch and couldn’t really spell or speak English.

There was likely similar situations in Asia as well, I’m just not familiar with their history.

But go back far enough and even writing by hand is technology

In almost every language the writing was developed ventures or even millenia after spoken.

Writing is also more set, especially with the printing press it made changes very slow. So while spoken language keeps changing written lags further and further behind.

So instead of X disabling it…

Only Apple did

Everyday there’s like 5-10 brand new accounts who quickly spam ~20 articles each and stop the same day.

It looks like someone hoping Lemmy takes off so they can sell aged accounts later.

Yeah, it just doesn’t hit it.

Gravity does work with dark matter tho, so we can’t really say “unaffected” because the dark matter would still bend the light due to gravity. I’m not sure if we can detect that bend, but I remember something relatively recently about how dark matter can interact via gravity, and I’m assuming bending light would have been the easiest way to test that.

If it’s isolated from a current it would be filled with denser saltwater with a higher salt concentration until it eventually fills in with sediment

With no mention of the roads they drive on every day.

They want toll roads too…

When you have a shit ton of money, you want everything taxed on use, not earnings.

Because you earn a lot and spend a very small percentage of that.

They view any individual that “gets” more than they personally pay in as a “taker”. Despite the entire reasons we have safety nets is statistically someone will need help.

But once no one anywhere benefits from it more than they paid in, it’s easy for the wealthy to convince us we don’t need it at all. Because it’s not benefiting anyone and has really becomes a waste.

It’s very basic manipulation.

You can’t argue “what about roads!” Because they’re argue for toll roads everywhere or a tax on actual miles driven. Don’t let them set the argument, point out how no one knows who will need it till they need it, so we all pay in and hope we’re fortunate enough to not need it. But if we do, we don’t have to die in a gutter.

Don’t tug on heart strings, explain it as risk management and they might start to see the value

Oh, it sounds like it?

Did you think of checking yourself before just fucking guessing someone was wrong and making a comment?

Like, imagine hearing someone say something on the Internet, and not being sure if they’re right…

So you just fucking guess in a comment and wait four fucking hours to see if the original person will reply back.

Instead of you taking the two seconds to check before making that comment.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Just willfully and proudly ignorant.

No…

That’s why I said what I said…

Thanks for taking the time to make a reply telling everyone your guess instead of, i dunno…

You taking two second to check yourself?

As long as you’ve been paying your taxes, you can set fed withholdings to $0 until the shutdown is over. Go a couple years without paying, and the Fed has probably set your withholding for you by now.

You’ll still owe income tax, but this stops giving them an interest free loan trump will just blow thru.

Ideally I’d like to see blue states coordinate it for their citizens, just so it’s all sitting in a big find that the state can use as a carrot to reopen the fed.

Yeah, I didn’t play V until this year when I got it for free.

I’ll play GTA 6 someday, but probably not till it’s at most $20.
