If you say you’re bi nobody thinks you fuck woks.

Thanks for the heads up. It’s really similar to the keyboard I use.

So it mimics me?

Even emails cost tokens. I’ve added money to accounts of people I went to school with and said hi. It’s a fuckin’ racket.

How long will it take to vote in an amendment that updates the connector?

Depends on what corporations and countries are backing it probably.

I thoroughly agree the connector insanity was a pain in the ass (though, being a hoarder of cables it made me a sort of superhero) but I just really dislike governments dictating this kind of thing.

Even private/exclusive sites get a bad torrent sometimes. At least there you can trust the comments, though, so it gets sorted out quickly.

A societal system is an emergent property of social beings interacting. Mandatory is a really awkward way of saying that.

It’s pretty normal for people. Anti-auth positions are terrifying to many. How will I feed my dogs if there’s no Purina? Forest for the trees and all that. What fucks me up is I come from an ethical position, so I don’t actually care how we solve problems so long as it’s voluntary.

That’s a massive question for someone to answer in a lemmy comment. There may be a variety of alternative systems that can work. Trade and society are forms of technology that we’ve halted progress on by locking ourselves into archaic systems of governance.

Just give people that reply a little latitude and understand no one person can fully describe a full system that took thousands of years of civilization could be replaced.

I paid $2 in 2013.

That’d put me at 15+ years prolly. I remember how salty people were about the digg refugees.

I read the first one in a bit over a day. I’ve been at 70% on the second one for two weeks now and really need to finish it and grab the next.

They’re all quite good. I’m glad you didn’t get bogged down in reading order discussions.

It’s one of two books I gave up on. The other was Atlas Shrugged.

I’m not sure anyone will complain too much.

I don’t really tiptoe around conservative coworkers or friends even when we disagree heavily. With some of my left friends I have to be careful, but most of them are willing to have honest conversations. There’s a very narrow band on both sides that are willing to have a conversation and the best approach is often different. It could be how you communicate or personal biases. Never really know.

Familiar with Temple OS and its creator? There are super brilliant people that don’t fit in society and end up with vile views. I mostly feel bad for them.

Try Malazan. Also you can message me for a library.
