My god I've been gone for 2 years, I come back the medical system, under biden, has degarded to the worst I have ever seen.. I had to flee the country before due to medical abuse from the system... here we are same problems again... Cant wait for Biden to be out of office... cant come soon enough.
@TruthSandwich @JRBuckley Joe Biden should resign or be chased out of office for his white supremacist and pro-oligarch policies and actions, and anyone saying you should vote for the evil motherfucker is an evil motherfucker themselves.
@freemo I think you're missing the point; the question is are you doing so deliberately?
No one individual of any background or group is perfect. One should instead listen to many voices and seek out patterns and consensus.
Listening to women talk about their experiences in the workforce with men who ignore them, talk down to them, steal their ideas, or harass them will lead to finding universal patterns of behavior you can accept as reflections of a reality we don't typically experience.
Listening to Black women will add layers of understanding regarding how racism plays a role in their treatment in life.
Etc.
Listening to many voices and seeking to find an understanding will help you grow your awareness and learn how to be a more effective helper and ally as we work to overcome these societal imbalances and make a more equitable world for us all to share.
Reducing this to a statement about believing one individual over another misses the point and leads to no new knowledge or understanding.
Cheering too early: As @freemo correctly pointed out, Musk "only" removed individual blocks (which in fact did not block users from the service), while the ability to lock out users from the service entirely remains (for Twitter/X). It seems as this most likely doesn't violate the App Store guidelines.
So yesterdays shave with mild blades and a fixed safety razor (on the left) for the first time worked out pretty well. Closest shave i ever had. Only issue was that it was pulling hairs so when i stsrted shaving against the grain i started getting some nicks.
So i overnight ordered a new setup (on the right) with two brands of ultra sharp blades and a new adjustable safty razor. Despite popular opinion i got less nicks and a smoother shaving when i used the sharper razor in either saftey razor, but the adjustable was nice.
Both brands of high sharpness blades performed equally superior to the mild with the feather being slightly better, no nicks!
Also trying out some various oils and creams for before and after.
COVID making a comeback‽
@freemo @realcaseyrollins it's funny because you don't sound like you have ADHD until you take meds lol
I really hope I dont get screwed over on this kickstarter... I should be getting my #Chess board next month if all goes well.. Excited about this one.

lol!
Our neighbor just found #Washy on Google Maps in our street
We now have evidence of him crossing the road he should not be on
I spent an hour with the toddler and infant watching https://youtube.com/@msrachel. The 6-month old liked this, too. Definitely made me think of @DrFreemo #BabyTalk #ChildAboos
@freemo Sounds reasonable, even without knowing him personally. Change without acknowledgement of past misdeeds rings hollow.
LOL.. I pointed out the fact that Biden started his career supporting segregation... This is a pretty established fact, even the democrats dont usually dispute it... lol this moron however clearly doesnt know what the word "fact" means.
@freemo that would have to be a Republican then I suppose. I'm all for that party to find its way back to sanity so I can think about maybe voting for them again someday. But they have a long way to come back imho.
It's hard to imagine a Republican winning the 2024 primary who doesn't at least signal that they want to ban abortion and trans health care and increase preferential treatment of the Christian majority. I hope I'm wrong. Not to mention any critical thinking about the harms of capitalism (not that Biden is any better on that front though).
@Ed_Brickell Yes and that is a fine reason to hate him... but someone working for them are often just feeding their family and not necceseraly guilty of their bosses crimes.
I am in the process of migrating the #QOTO nextcloud server from our smaller mysql database to our beast of a postgresql database. This should save us some money since I can retire the mysql database and should significantly improve performance. The nextcloud will be down intermittently while I upgrade but should be back up in the next 30 minutes or so.
