Must be a better way...

I dare say "meet them in the pub" as another way (very unlikely)

But these banks and sometimes US middle-men are criminal as middlemen and increasingly increasingly a liability to even use as they increase debt or fees

Best ways apart from pub!?

1. Bank transfer within same country and even similar group of banks perhaps most direct way.

2. Wishlist and get it sent to them if for example they were going to eBay it or Amazon it anyway)

SORRY I don't have more

3. CRYPTO I know some go for Monero or Bitcoin but that might offend some people....!! And I only advocate it for those already full in and see it as usual at least as alternative version'

WATCHING A FILM SOON - FIRST MOVIE OR TWO THIS YEAR

I've watched clips and even mountain climbing 'movie' documentaries on yewtu.be/ but not an actual movie (as in hollywood or any cinema) in almost a year!!!!

I used to watch an insane amount which was kinda thinking I was learning but wasn't from best sources (Hollywood).

Within last few years maybe 10 / 20 max ! (I'm considering I've watched more because maybe memory is key in saying this so I'll over-guesstimate than sell you something sounding fantastic!!!)

So I celebrate the official "planning of a movie" stage now and watch it sometimes when I'm probably desperate!

WHY DID I STOP WATCHING MOVIES /
HOW CAN I WATCH LESS? (Tips)

1. I think it *really* helped when my all-in-1 way program for downloading AND searching 'broke' (Python requirements mismatch between version)
2. I also realised I don't have hard disk space so that made me delete stuff which I couldn't do well, thus I couldn't download new stuff!
3. I realised all the downloads I used to watch and popular / fast on download are ALL Hollywood and therefore they somewhat make me Hollywooden-out since it was just mostly cake for the mind and simply crap cake too.
Serving only time-kill time made me realise there is more if I out my mind to it, and I thought myself better so stopped watching movies as a result (small movies plenty if relative to what I watch or who I talk to... though but much more controlled and on topic- not 'just anything' kill-my-time however style!).

I hope I'm a better person for it if not horribly right and a non-hollywood destiny awaits me!

@gemlog I like your format of "Same but...", showing a similar kind of template for groups who watch just from a different source of news...

And to round this reply, I think it's worth checking the "knowingly ignorant" phrase - even though probably it's easy to guess what I mean - but just to confirm I believe people know something is fishy / scandals are happening / kills are made although no dead bodies on their doorstep / that it can't last forever / that they might be next but until those things happen more seriously and obviously (i.e. until physically apocalypse or banks withhold money from circulation or confiscate their money... they are willing to continue to turn a blind eye- so this is how you know the pattern and know is going to more than probably create more, but ignorant to do anything about it or educate / make regular efforts out of ignorance and ignorance of even the alternative which may just be most middle class people or whatever largest proportion / main tax-payers )

Side-thought
I do wonder if people would actually agree before voting that together they could help weight votes better.

Side-thought 2
Coalition is a fairly new word for me or seeing it use a few times and working to out a part by some parties joining together for a particular time and getting each others votes in one pool and therefore higher% as an organized formation against another party specifically similar to a pact or treaty agreement.

Sorry for writing longer than perhaps wanted... good topic though

@gemlog OK great! (just read your next message)

And to reply to 1st reply
I think it's a fine line and that is blurred so making for spectrum of things 'fascistic' (attributes of or compiled makes it 'more fascist' than not)... I really like how you mentioned if people realizing "the full agenda" as big differencce and 100% agree
and I take my hat off to that difference as I think that is key to *full-blown* fascist... (or whatever more extreme spectrum)

BUT (horrible word) then there is the middle or luke-warm fascist (pardon the word!) which is more like a mix but still hitting MORE OFTEN the attributes (which I appreciate might have helped in your 2nd short reply to see how this + this + this = helps towards fascism)

AND what I'll try write about later is that non-intelligent people or even good people can share wanting things in order or going with the flow, being cowards (church people as my experienced example sorry let too much get too far in name of cowardice more than communication and practice as habit show by parents than actual believe and reasoning for themself)... so even dumb or good people can enforce this kind of behaviour and * without * much experience, knowledge, AND denial when you say "to get money you have to pay money - that is why we are as humanity broke all the time!" <--- x = x + % of x (I literally have said it in many ways math or otherwise)

People somehow still go for easy or being ok working for bullies (even in their workplace, and not just for money but for combination of cowardice, wanting easy way, letting others do it etc)

^--- summary of all the is THEY KNOW WHY AND WHAT THEY DO THE EASY WAY FOR (meaning that don't think it's fascism or pray to any fascist GOD but they do uphold and even think they or other people should do authoritarian / financially manipulated / hierarchical ways!... and so knowingly or not, they support that more often in practice
AND at the same time are NOT looking towards or asking or join anything towards anything different. So without big emotions here but like a semi-excited Einstein knowing all the equation quite well... I conclude people are more often knowingly ignorant (another key part to fascism and almost DE-FACTO like watching people die and doing 0 about it, and even buy more because it's cheap)

(that's from my whole life as telling / explaining etc .... )

hope you enjoyed that (L:

@gemlog BANKS AND GOV - THE PERFECT PARTNERSHIP

(HELPING CAPITALISTS / THE RICHEST PEOPLE)

+ A BIT ABOUT FASCISM (PROVING YOU ARE FASCIST VIA MY TEST!)

Indeed it seems perfectly logical for those in charge or those at the top of top establishments to want to preserve or perpetuate what makes them money because it gets other doing stuff for them! (Just like money itself gets the Banks getting 'more' money or energy sucked into the Bank from elsewhere !).

I think government and banks are the perfect partnership (and the sub-partnerships / sub companies that stem from it) so while it's not my idea if you were to make a locked simulation game or 'civilization' simulator to keep order (a la fascism) then you would probably choose this as well (sad as that is).

And just today I was starting to work on fascism as it's a very human thing too (this post may sound like I agree but I mean more that it makes sense so here's a 2nd example to the 1st big paragraph above).

Question for this example:
You like order right? [err... yeah mostly]
OK ! FASCISM loves order too (or at least the theory of it).

Questions continue as conversation to show how you end up as a fascist (even without knowing it)

Q. You like other people to take care of stuff more than be totally responsible for all those painful choices in life like how to spend money or moral issues. [err... yeah I can't be responsible for for everything can I?]
OK ! FASCISM loves to take care of things for you (don't worry we're killing the world while you're comfy - you don't mind right because if you did you'd cease to get the goodies and energy and actually you might disappear from lack of extracting from global south / 3rd world right?] [err well I want to live even if I don't like a lot of it] Great on to the next question!

Q. You like standardisation, being punctual, uniform things, things being straight, even number and and pairs more than odd number right... who wants left over numbers or things that allow nature to just be odd?
[err... I like nature but all the list before that you're right]

CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE A FASCIST (SOFT OR SOME VARIATION)

SUMMARY - I don't know if I captured you're imagination in the conversation but it includes a list (not the full list yet) of all fascist attributes that actually we the average or normal people like... eye opening 0_0 and I will expand on it in the next coming posts ! Stay tuned...

AFTER-THOUGHT
Hope you don't mind me trying that there - I will work on showing in other ways how actually we can be mostly fascist as hidden ideal (but call ourselves 'normal' or some other word) or we have become used to it / accustomed to expecting and reinforcing luxuries at expense of others!

@vwbusguy
Can I ask what interests you about what's going on apart from hearing the odd thing - so I'm not saying 0 news or don't go to Twitter but generally what is it for you that you feel the need to 'keep up on news'? Thanks

@freeschool my problem is with the appeal to authority. authority infringes my natural rights all the time without any right to do so. if someone believes he's right when low key threatening legal action, it's bullshit.

it's one thing if it regards the product of work "mastodon the software" - i can respect terms dictating use of that.

telling others what they can do on their own property - their domain and server - is morally corrupt (and laughable!) and does only work because there are racketeering operations called states who have an illegal monopoly on violence, using that violence to take away my natural freedom to do with my property as i please.

hell, if he'd nicely ask to use other domain names it would be more fruitful than threats.

MUTUALITY - RECIPROCAL LIFE

When people come back tired from work, if they see you doing work for them suddenly it's doesn't seem so bad or more a reciprocal life.

You could say it's like a circle ----> O instead of a one-way line (like working for corporations)

The motivation factor is total different when things are continuing and working for you (as you work for them).

SUMMARY
There is far less de-motivation and depression if people can give / allow other things to do for others.

BANKS DEBT = ENERGY DEBT
(+ % added on top!)

When you realise ALL money at some point (if not the start) has % added to it then you realise money is debt.

Isn't it a bit 'fishy' that BANKS first add % to money you want to take AND THEN given to you as a loan?

It's like saying to humanity "I'll give you money, but you have to find more of it!"

... "and by the way the others also take money + % and have to find a way to pay it back!"

MUHAHAHAHA [or whichever evil laugh you prefer]

@bonifartius Hmm I get that,
It's almost like protect or not protect ( over-protect in case of Law perhaps ) and without would have many of these edge cases for popular things (dare I say brands or names or anything).

Even outright theft / people mascaraing as others (even harmlessly / temporarily) without 'some' authority that can 'enforce' it for those that have more of an intent and even monetary exploitation (of which system is itself but perhaps let's us playing in small playgrounds)

This above text alone shows how much variation and cross over it has... I put to you two questions

1. Do you agree the whole system (and people at top positions) base the whole system on this kind of control and enforcement (on various serious / less stuff).

2. Is it mostly the lack of control naming things or something else like the fact other people make a bigger game of what should be much less of a 'game' or perhaps not even a business?

3. Do you like law? (it's a stupid question but I thought it might have merit just purely for conversation within this topic or even outside to see if there is anything more)

@bonifartius I guess this is about the trademark...
, and 'using' I guess in the most important context might mean people using the name / rebranding Mastodon as their own?

@barefootstache yeah I guess that's where fruits come in (plums especially)... but yeah when I did raw food diet it was like needing a lot of blended fruit otherwise quite hard with buying fancy hemp milk or coconut etc (which probably have sugar too) so yeah I'd like to see how much sugar one can avoid almost. 50% in whole form is impressive - is that one at a time or like sandwiching things or some other technique?
