No 1 person has all the pieces of the puzzle. That's the advantage of humans who are able to communicate.

Fight for your own freedoms 

Arguably nobody else is going to do that for you or should. In the modern day it does help to band together (but people they have their own shit to deal with which then becomes everyone's shit).

So that's why I advocate sharing your shit because it's one and the same humanity or copy and paste template happening to us everywhere. Even the negative we can turn to positive.

Or they are going to do it in worse ways... like more army / military / primitive-clever fighting.

Also not a good way to fight (for reasoning or justice on any level it still doesn't achieve that end goal).

So if you expect others to help AS PART OF A TIGHT SYSTEM.... THINK AGAIN. Those types are only going to 'help' if they can perpetuate their own 'maximum' money % out of others or their 'unfortunate situation' AND ONLY if the system instigates and reinforcing such things.

This message to say there is no easy win other than you doing it yourself and accepting we were born into bad equations and to increment talking to me and others... it does require a lot of humility and accepting the bad from the past.

@LittleWytch

Nice quote but brutality pays!

Arguably things are sponsored institutionally [banks and gov for the main].

So yeah I really really like the sentiments here... but here is also some crystal clear fresh reality for those in happy-quote land (including me) and revision on reality... not to punish or make anyone sad, but make real problem-solving our happiness instead of accepting / ignoring / getting caught in the misunderstanding(s)...

Culture already starts to starve when any government chose where NOT to put the big pot of money we dump there every hour we work (as they take % cut from us and goes god knows where)... on an individual level the artists or craftsman, lover of anything dies - not because you don't care or disrespect your art opr nature or whatever, but the system doesn't support it or hardly funds it. <--- full stop, not much grows after that dot

With the money they CHOOSE for some things rather than other things, often measurably 0 or promising things and only filling their own pockets while making projects, the good things are dying if not dead.

Arguably keeping people alive is the good thing but nobody wants to do that on a personal level (paying each other in goodwill to all) or as a system default (where government takes massive %'s for organising our 'safety') and nothing near a much less conditional hoop jumping to what is the crazy level of conditionality we have now if you list what you need and have to agree with [agree with banks, I don't!].

The ultimatum and therefore competition (without dramatising it) is to face starving or do the jobs they design and hardly pay for while paying for increased housing (and that's just rent, forget buying now which is still rent in many ways anyway, never yours).

Your choice becomes this by-design and eventual ultimatum:

-Take up a suit and tie
or
-Take your camouflage suit and be a soldier.

(both are soldiers, both are financial in different ways of getting there, both achieve the same leverage of force and economic pressure).

Disclaimer - No hate here...

I really really like the sentiments of this quote and many things... where we the measurably good-to-do people or just un-evil would never it's so unfair and developed that way over time with everyone getting short-term benefit at the future's damage/cost. And the wise people (who know the traps and maybe even they didn't realise how bad it is) MUST NOW realise (if you care for your life) that to do "good" is about dying in that equation and find something like "understanding" in the mind that this system is cruel or inhuman and over time worse / nobody has control... and "you have to be cruel to be kind" which obviously doesn't work for your own children or yourself
Evil or defective by design / faulty by design / ignorance over time (however you want to represent the accumulation) IS ONLY to get the profit exchange instead of happiness)

From this bad wrapping, happiness doesn't exist or is more and more temporary- [ it's all self-perpetuating debt or energy exchange ]

Not getting money
Not being sponsored
= Not being alive
[at least dying out / needing to find another 'job'...

Because doing real good is anyway not a job... so now you can see how obvious it is or games inside another game to get massive profit / stealing energy / money.

Those that don't care or aim for money are not aiming for happiness at all.

SO.... yes be respectful... try not to compete BUT you are in this construct or sub-construct of fight club [financial fight club] forcing you to compete / sell everything (body and soul with it even indirectly)...

KNOWING THIS goes a longer way that thinking it's fair or nice tips which get steamrollered... literally.
People who never realised how evil / power-tripping by design it is. But over time, it is measurably just that.

Money is just one example of that where it's truly is money or your life
Often your money AND we'll take your life if you don't keep paying us more inflated prices.

Not having people who care and just follow... is terrible and only adds to evil. But measurable it's all toward a handful of things, and that is what we need to solve / break / remould / care for properly.

You have to really be against BigTech sometimes to go more towards HomeGrownTech... 

You have to really be against BigTech sometimes to go more towards HomeGrownTech - because HomeGrown code isn't 1:1 or exactly the same
- in speed
- in size and storage of gigbytes
- in the expectation by users perhaps to have compared to what took almost criminal-like behaviour to make / legal thieves / conspiracy to take over...

Expectation shows their uncaring attitude / unknowingness the same shit goes on with anything fuelled with money and not realising why Small Tech is shitty sometimes and to be happy with that, is the win itself....because "at least it isn't BigTech!"

How much you believe in that is by how much you don't use Google to search and even 4 other search engines or even whip yourself to understand that it's niformation-overload.
Use 0 search engines because most of what you do is distraction anyway.... Just don't use Google. It's a long-term loser...
and I'm not saying the other team is an alternative or 'better', it's just like saying don't take steroids... just stay your shitty self and make best with that or other people / geeks / friends with better morals....

The real 'price' of life is accepting less luxuries, and also know what is already a luxury. 

Luxury has also become normalised as a normal itself when it is really costing the planet BIG and bigger each time we use and consume more, or for every small thing use even more things.

Paying others to do the damage for you is something of a minor point to the above. Using less is => allowing others to abuse less
because as you know through more products and all that chain, more toxic $hit happens.

Thank you for your attention.

advert on - "Dedicated match-maker"
I need someone to put each other in touch with other people!
Not just directly about the same thing (we do that also) but really scooping people who have time and using them because they interested in learning the same things or some group / satellite stuff. Something like that! (this is not really a post but I am serious!
More active meetings.
Something less one way and not text.
Feels like that's a good idea...

Mastodon posts and people need a warm meeting space daily or weekly... with the many.
Anyone else interested>?
Boost please ^_^ and see what we can do here with our time...
ViVa Le Mastodon (and everything people love that we need to be active in kicking arse in) <3 <--- that's a heart not an arse! So worth boosting!

@2ck Yeah will be about music making and the feeling of it....
both which I enjoy daily
ah well thanks

@skells
Alright you got me
(from beginning I wasn't sure but realised it's pretty good)...

- BUT here's a link to same video that could be instead
invidious.weblibre.org/watch?v

- Try using invidious links is my advice for many reasons
(embedded thumbnail preview now comes up in Mastodon with Invidious links so no excuses!)

And a link 'converter' is below if you want to paste links and create Invidious links to add to Mastodon... (instead of manually)

freeschool.0id.org/youtube-url

This all falls into alignment with freedoms or various freedoms /principles (including not to be tracked).

Privacy Redirect (browser extension)...

Redirects:
Twitter ----> Nitter
YouTube ----> Invidious
Instagram ----> Bibliogram
Google Maps ---> OpenStreetMap.

Great examples of better everyday links---->less their link$ and redirect$ to them, less tracking etc
(less money and control to them).

Might not be compatible with all browser / version but modelling from this is possible and a great start (code on github
https:////github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect)

Allows toggling all redirects on/off and more.

@2ck I guess from that you might not mind a bit of Drum and Bass music... though probably not as intense as this in between podcasts :)
Feel free to say the podcasts and what's good about them... thinking of starting my own (so what you look for is going to help me probably though should be / might be heavily music based, which would be cool if you filter the music news podcasts if you listen to that many and that type). But yeah anything to help me from failing :)
Thanks.

@kreyren
Right now, the achievement of not funnelling people to Google's YouTube is the main win and priority.

Try this also:

Massive win by me to pull out the monetary based wins for them.
The $ource of all evils and all that:)...

More reading:

Your point as a sub-consideration I think is a good point.

I usually leave for them to manage which I think they are doing quite well.

Or I do my own version and embarrass myself or embarrass others enough to realise they should have thought about it sooner!!!

freeschool.0id.org/youtube-url

Usually reasoning is what is the force here... If I have to do something or if I am stealing people's audience they usually suddenly 'have time' and find motivation to what I don't even get answered at all :) As long as it's done.... or else! :]

And people like me / you asking will help that :)

So if we use it enough / ask / show by demand it gets done.

Kudos to all.

I've included @invidious in this message for reference.

Do feel free to ask them also on Mastodon. Generally I see stuff happening after a while - don't ask me how :)

I just know once I've advertised it or even visualised it and people do it enough together, people see reasoning or get it in the end...

when you are calm, they are calm... 

Thank you nature! A few times today I've opened the window and the wasp has let itself out (I also like wasps and don't feel danger by them or feel need to wave my hands). I've also tested their temperament and they are not aggressive.
I also seem to have a knack of opening the door or window at the right time and they let themselves out. They are actually very calm flying object...

When you are calm, they are calm...
If you are scared or over-active it doesn't help their interpretation.

You can test this by them letting them investigate and it's a great test of trust. Much like humans (without putting them in the same category) but it's a great way to say "it's not gong to kill me so let's see if what other people say about is correct and just hold my nerve... and just love nature. Stings and all ! Because it's all full of wonder / wonderment and diversity rescues humanity.

Music scene revival.... Calling all people -
shifting this world into dance fuelled work!!....

Enjoy a sample of what is to come!
If you have your own made remixes let me know
