@linus pointing out his incompetence and blame in the situation is perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned...
@georgetakei Biden behaves senile, it isnt about his age, its behavior... Trump acts insane, not senile, but insane. He isnt a good choice either.. but Trump has nothing to do with Biden's senility.,
@lizzard What town are we talking about?
@admitsWrongIfProven Actually yes... resources may be finite but wealth is not... Some people having more wealth does **not** mean others have to have less as a result. Wealth is largely generated. One person having more doesnt imply someone else has to have less, thats not how wealth works.
@TruthSandwich and thus the great future war begins :)
@TruthSandwich I think the better solution nature rising up and killing off the human race. That gives a chance for the dogs to evolve language and opposible thumbs and in a few millennia we will have a paradise :)
@TruthSandwich The fediverse isnt filled with any better people than any other platform... Its designed better, and protects us to some extent from evil admins controlling everything. But beyond that people will still be the shitty people they are.
@gpowerf yup, the defenses ive seen are just as appaling...
One thing mostly left out of the history books regarding Little Big Horn is that the large force Custer encountered had gathered for an inter-tribal Sun Dance ceremony. Army size estimates were wrong because so many had snuck away from reservations to join in.
This is one of the reasons all native ceremonies and dances were outlawed by congress in 1883. To this day most people are unaware that the 1st amendment didn't apply again to the first peoples until 1978. Cultural Genocide.
@TruthSandwich We call those poor people, they arent my problem :)
@TruthSandwich Dont worry, I wont shoot. The landmines pretty much have me covered in that case. The driveway is a decoy, the real non-mined driveway is hidden.
@TruthSandwich Hahah I wish.. but I can get any attorny I want and they will pay full civil and criminal costs for the lawyer. They also cover bond, provide expert witnesses, if the cops take your gun they will immediately buy you a new one to replace it while in evidence, even pay you 750$ for every day you have to go to court.... its pretty sweet.
@pieist I would hope QOTO... who or what has glorified misogyny and male predators? I dont recall seeing any reports from you at all, if any of our users are glorifying that we wouldnt allow that here.
@pieist Huh, we are a fork of mastadon and our version has no relationship to Mastodon versions... what do you mean? We do have several features we are working on importing though (and many mastodon doesnt have).
Meta is looking to implement post importing. That's been a feature request since forever (see https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/177 and https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423 ).
Secure messaging is another example.
These are things that if meta implements them and does even a halfway decent job then #meta controls the standard.
Want to prevent that?
Get there first or at least have a strong offering on how to do these things out of the gate. Let _us_ as a community control the standards that we use.

I think we agree that effectively it has the same effect as eugenics, but im not sure it is the same as eugenics, no more so than not having sex with an unattractive person is eugenics.
If you are aborting due to Downs Syndrom and your argument is "I dont want my child to live a life suffering" it isnt eugenics. However if you abord because "I dont want my child to pass on their genes and create more people with Downs Syndrome" then that would be eugenics. We make choices all the time that isnt due to eugenics but effectively selects our gene pool anyway.
