@strypey Yes! I agree and have tried to saw that to many a parent...

Like "if you agree x, y, z things (money etc) then how much would you say they are worth, as the government has GDP and other measurements of it's people so why not you (if you're not against them in a big way?)

People are more likely to notice this when it comes to sex work. But we don't tend to notice that we sell ourselves into part-time slavery just as much when we flip burgers or driver an Uber. We don't notice that these jobs can be just as exploitive as sex work, or even more so.

Self-ownership is not enough. We need to go further and make a radical claim; that we are not for sale *or* for rent. That we are not property of any kind, and neither is data about us.

"We need to own our own data."

#HelenStarr, 2024

Kind of, but no. Because that still implicitly accepts the framing of personal data as property. It's a digital extension of the propertarian notion that civil liberties are grounded in each person's ownership of their own body and mind.

Rather than abolish slavery, this just makes us all self-owning slaves.

@AnarchistArt Not sure what to do other than change minds from home mostly.

Neighborhoods aren't as friendly or accessible as Internet's chances of safety in communication and numbers of people.

I just would like to point out that
none of the accounts I was forced to create for job applications so far had any options for multi-factor authentication or for deleting the account.

And all of the accounts I was forced
to create for job applications so far required to enter very sensitive information that was completely unnecessary to require.

Don’t. Do. This.
Please. Stop.

my teachers used to say they were preparing us for jobs that didn't exist yet, and in hindsight they were probably hoping for "nuclear nano space-robot technician" and not "person who makes a small amount of money putting enormous amounts of personal information on the internet"

Natural Pyramid games - The game humans play in life as a sub-game inside humanity... (slavery kinda of)... 

Welcome to the pyramid game - The game humans play in life as a sub-game inside humanity... (slavery kinda of)...

Bees and ants even enslave their own kind or milk other species.. they too are animals living in colony situations...

So perhaps very similar to that of The Animal Kingdom; a pyramid-like hierarchy or similar chain is there AND the added pyramid within human system.

Humans have some choice but seems like it's much of the same that to use others, get ahead or make sure of your survival by suppressing others. (actually does make sense else people start kicking you out and don't expect anything else to save you!)

So then it can seem better you're on top or commanding the chain / pyramid or else you might find yourself the one losing out and at the bottom.
But what you have to do to get there or keep our position is basically the main part of the bad itself.

A cruel world and consistent suffering dynamic is indeed.

And those who choose not to dominate at all, seem to get dominated / left out / less heard of...

Comments welcome.

#Mastodon Payments - a needed concept... New payment System for Fedi people... 

Payments - a needed concept...

New payment System for Fediverse :fediverse: people

If you want to imagine a new world then let's do some "World Building" together and cook something... via DM if need be.

Somehow to exchange something in addition to those giving freely... some people will not see giving love as real or credible or permanent enough to putting food on table etc... which is fair... so let's have it all!

I say both and many ways to give / give back / take...

what can you dream up? ☁️ :dreamcast:

@undefined @Tutanota @tyil Usually payment is a problem to in itself between ourselves.

Like email being without bank-like Gmail taxing us while using our personal data.

15min chess kills time well... 

10min chess kills time well...

some growing of plants outside

or growing a relationship

growing a person's experience over the internet

(because it's all trying to find another way more than money).

Not saying 0 money but that game is literally like playing those low-chance games
(and not growing people's mentality otherwise)

Chess maybe gives a few answers but that also should be more co-operative chess or forgiving playing 'life together' not at the cost of each other (which makes people pay more than needed or not sharing space) at the same time as governments taxing and extracting from our lives...

[no Chess emoji, so Chess ASCII it is!]

Change RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY...? 

Change RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY...?

If all roads and relationships started with money and lead back to money... then that would explain why people are circular... and not just stupid or ignorant or those words... We didn't change money also and got comfortable in it's war / cheapening life as we chip into big pot that go off to .

It maybe explains also why people do repeated habits to cope with being taxed and charged constantly for every little things (life's taxes is alot about banks fees, bail-outs, price hikes etc)...

and you might find it hard to accept the best of worst situation, which is:

Try think of some other currency... because banks are costing us too much in losing life to it's own cold culture.

CONTINUED...

◘5◘ Choc money - possibly more valuable, edible currency at least and respected by most as food

◘6◘ 'Real money' is cheaper than Monopoly printed in the same way

◘7◘ Mr Bean - I am trying to follow The Science but it keeps leading me back to money

◘8◘ Hospital / innocent workers - not realising above them they are making millions off each doc and nurse (per week!) as they do 1000x what little they are paid per hour

Money is what is making us compete rather than share... 

Money is what is making us compete rather than share.

Think

What can you imagine from payments without banks so much?

ℹ️ Remember:
Capitalism does really well to make us fight each other using it's own 'given' money (taxed + fees + regulated %'s like chopping our legs when we are getting up well) and mentality not to share or give to better businesses.

:fediverse: 💸 ?

Money is expensive no?... 

Money is expensive no?

Think about the added fees and percentages which bring down the value of each unit of 'money' ;/ good gawd \:

...banks have it too easy...
Time to sort that out....
