@thor i'm not really well versed in this but schopenhauer and nietzsche got to the conclusion that art and "creating" stuff is propably the nearest thing to sense humans have. on the other hand there is the naturalistic "get kids", as suggested by the others here in the thread.

my vote would be that there is no deeper sense, so do as you please but minimize negative impact on the world you have. this includes animals and nature: they are struggling harder than we are, be nice to them

hot take: demo/self produced versions of songs often are better than the thing which goes onto the final record. cf. "men at work - down under" m.youtube.com/watch?v=D2lhmqKL and "blue oyster cult - don't fear the reaper" m.youtube.com/watch?v=8m6oDWLE

many producers can do amazing clean memorable radio stuff, but only few (john parish, imo) have a feeling for the music.

@thor the genes were propably good 100 years ago: no hair -> high testosterone, getting fat easily -> survived winters. regarding what to eat, i'm not sure keto is the answer, but the classic pyramid with grain carbs at the bottom is bullshit imo. i for one feel much better if the carbs are from vegetables.

> we can do an experiment. Join any popular matrix public group chat. You'll see that 85% (or even more) of the participants is on matrix.org.

that's not a problem inherent in the matrix protocol, sorry.

> If matrix.org goes down, it'll be like the whole protocol goes down (just like Freenode and IRC)

irc is dead because freenode is dead? wat?

> You should also consider that it requires more resources (and IMO it's harder) to selfhost it. That makes matrix less suitable for individuals and small projects.

if you have huge rooms you need a big server. with a handful of rooms and people you can selfhost on a 3$ vps. i'll give you that synapse needs more resources than an irc server, but don't dramatize it.

i should really do a collection of the fud people spread about matrix.

@Shiroyasha that seems sensible :) we can't legally grow hemp here aside special varieties for fibre production but you still need a permit.. reefer madness ;)

@Shiroyasha didn't you have the lighting setup etc. or is that all occupied by the lettuce?

@publicvoit tbh, i'd really might do it this way the next time. i hate haggling in any context.

if any other country had bombed AP or Al Jazeera bureaus we'd have massive sanctions against them now, maybe a military intervention. there would've been a global outcry.

regarding the "right to self defense" spin: self defense is usually defined as "the least amount of force required".

@dewomser hilft nur die partei. sonneborn hat als einzelperson im eu parlament mehr effektiv gutes geschafft als manche fraktionen und hat sich nicht von brutus semsrott canceln lassen ;)

i like how quickly we went from "he called all the way from England?" to saying "lol fag" to someone in Venezuela.
♲ @emrazz@twitter.com:

Someone on tv just said, “when we want to incentivize rich people we give them money but when we want to incentivize poor people we take away money,” and holy fuck that’s so true.

Over a year ago, a woman reached out to me with a powerful story. She was attempting to provide emergency aid for a victim of domestic violence who was fleeing abuse with her children and, in the process, had violated the Hague Convention and become an international outlaw. At the time, "Detroit," the survivor who had escaped abuse, was not in a safe enough place to risk sharing her story — even under a pseudonym.

Today, however, Detroit is safe. Although she is still forced to live under the radar of the government, with no bank account or even an ID, she is bravely speaking up about the violence she fled and how international law is used against victims.

Originally sent as emails to her friend while traveling in hiding, this article contains a window into key moments in Detroit's many attempts to escape her husband and get her children to safety.
