Great, no worries,,, Ah yes I see what you wrote before about state of the world and general feelings about that. No need repeat. Thank you.
Also happy to audio talk privately (although I can see this is possibly further no help but just saying as I offer that to everyone and didn't mention it)

It feels like "how is it possible for you not to understand it."
It's said many times in many ways.
What do you not get?
@raimondaslapinskas
A reply to those those completely oblivious and alternative attempt to my usual writing and this similarly:
"You change money to trade- as money is just a tool, trade makes money to use for bad things, as same as gun, gun is not a problem, problem is how you use it. Money is not a problem,- problem is how we use them."
WAKE THE FUCK UP / SEE THROUGH MONEY !
Not being harsh with you but this is anyway an alternative attempt to what I've written to you and really not got back much.
So
SERIOUSLY WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOT! Might get more attention.
MONEY IS A CONSTRUCT AND BY DESIGN IS DESIGNED BY PROFIT-MINDED EMPIRE PEOPLE
LOL IT'S NOT JUST LIKE A INANIMATE TOOL BUT A WELL-THOUGHT SET OF RULES, EVOLUTION OF FUNNELING AND PART OF A TOOLSET IN COORDINATION WITH BANKS FOR CHEATING PEOPLE TOGETHER!
DEVALUATION / SUCKING OF ENERGY WHILE CHEAPENING PLANET AND POCKETING THE NUMBERS WHICH HELPS SUPPRESSION OF EDUCATED MENTALITY, MAKES NUMBER-ORIENTATED OBJECTS OF PEOPLE,.. ETC ETC ALL TO GET AND KEEP POWER! NOT TO REALLY HELP ANYONE LONG TERM!
The above maybe not work.
For those less TL;DR the rant continues in order to really hit the ball squarely unquestionably out of doubt.
Ever heard of:
STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_violence
or
SYSTEMIC VIOLENCE? BINGO!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence#cite_ref-173
"many forms of systemic violence often slip past our attention because they are so much a part of the infrastructure of life (e.g., racism, sexism, ageism)..."
MONEY CUTS OUT THE CARING AND ONLY GETS THE MOOLA
get it?! :)
IT IS A BIG FUCKING PROBLEM SO CLOSE TO #1 PROBLEM THAT IT'S AN EXTREMELY DICK THING / EXTREME THING TO SAY 'MONEY IS NOT THE PROBLEM'
It's not just people and how they use it, it's the unfair game like paying money to win things / improve life at the carnival with games... (things made low chance to succeed or improve in life)
I don't know how else to say it man since we've covered this before I've tried many ways...
trying only a different way here.
You're ok probably but really have a 'missing chip' that needs wrestling or bumping a bit so your pinball machine isn't stuck in this loop. ESPECIALLY as you're part of the free or freedom stuff (I'm a bit unsure now as how can you have one without the other or free-trade with overpowering structures actively taking from you and not letting you live without ultimatums such as money itself!).
Really think 100 times before seeing money so 'simply' and 'not a problem' and then really as a tool formidable for empires and control, exploitation, banks controlling livelihoods, extortion, co-operation by govs and banks (teamwork against people).
Only a bonehead would say such a thing. Once you get any part of this it breaks your opinion. (and then we can forget the name calling).
But seriously man - you're a part of the 'free' movement or 'freedom' movement or as individual seem ok but for what -
'money is not a problem' lol
Sure banks are fine... good progress with everything there.. right? No way !
If you see it as neutral and not embedded exploitation / political design / bastard cheapening of people then WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU SEE THE BANK PAPER AND EASY GOVERNMENT MISMANAGING USING MONEY AS THE MAIN TOOL AGAINST US ALL??
:) Again I hope you receive this well as friendly alternative
------------------------------
EXTENDED CHECKLIST FOR YOU / ANYONE
( NON-TL;DR SECTION )
------------------------------
IF YOU DON'T SEE THE STRUCTURAL AND SYSTEMIC PATTERNS
IF YOU TRUST BANKS AND THE SAME UNCARING PEOPLE (GOVERNMENT)
IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE UNCARING WAYS
THEN ONLY THIS TYPE OF UNEDUCATED IDIOT (IN THE REALM OF FREEDOM-LOVERS WOULD ACTUALLY SAY SUCH A THING
I'm not blaming you here just using a different way, I really think it's a cognitive type of thing that people are completely blind to even if they complete the other parts of understanding.
You're kind of duped if you think money is 'not a problem'
I'm not even going to stand in your way about it.
It's someone saying 'there's no hole in this boat by design AND we have to keep filling it for them"
And.. Yeah making guns are not a problem either (OMG.. 🤑)
@blueplanetslittlehelper
The context is good.
I wrote a lot in reply, but before adding it here I am seeking permission or indication you would like a lot more on this?
(it's not actually hugely important or anything you might not know, unless you'd like to explore those casual sub-points and sub-considerations that I think every day people probably need to go through to realise things)
I could also simply consider what you wrote as good also and be totally happy with that and move on nicely :)
@dragnucs
Ok. Two things
1/ We would be dealing self-hosted to self-hosted (or at least starting from that - I/this group does not intend to need gmail or will have 2nd account for that - this is totally seperate and incremental in it's own loop so incoming outgoing is managed by like-minded self-hosts / same software or just not corporations and we are not intended to use it with corporations)
2 Are you saying that if people add my email to their gmail whitelist still it won't go through currently? (even if so see point 1)
So I think I answered that
- we (the like-minded and those who know Gmail type corporations will clamp down in the end) are not trying to do a catch-all and equivalent to Gmail!
Something reduced and self-implemented and at least achieving what will only start with a few users and increment using pure-whitelist (like just my Mastodon friends to start),
People will 100% keep their Gmail or whatever and transition later - this is not direct replacement but parallel.
Happy to audio chat if that helps (friendly stuff).
ULTIMATUMS: If there is an ultimatum without discussion you know it's a unwise / abusive process that needs to be improved since it misses the humanisation or discussion of what is important to people.
Even with ultimatums the reality still exists that we all can't just cut people off or never see them again or expect them not to have feeling, so might as well finish it / gracefully / take the experience together / accept it is how it is
(all without trying to leverage each other or expect only 2 people to have all the answers.)
Asking for more time and proper space also helps BUT if you're quite sure and think it will risk forgetting facts and feelings or gossip will arise don't delay more than a day.
@marathon0 @nimafanniasl :) English is an erroneous construct! (:
(it's ambiguous)
But of course... we get along,
And even though it's not perfect... humans can balance imperfections and stay satisfied with differences.
And so we make do... :D
@nimafanniasl noo, real!
@douginamug Suggest extra money goes to practising giving / Investing in people. To give it away kind of enjoying the social aspect of it,
Similar to you post about having people in the van traveling / ride sharing / picking up hitch-hikers...
Just spending time in a way that covers more people and can get cross-pollination going as one traveling unit together for a bit.
"Investing in people" but the less-commercial philanthropic style.
Just thought "Doctors Without Borders" sounds like a paradox....
@clacke @douginamug Just thought "Doctors Without Borders" sounds like a paradox and asked myself "how come they get a free-pass?"
:)
Is a paradox of sorts it seems or when people are useful / volunteer then yeah humanity (and maybe profits) can start!
Each doctor is worth 30/40 million and judging byt the free/illegal overtime they do I wouldn't be surprised how much the system is really charging or getting in their matrix.
Of course must be some tricky parts there, maybe a little good too... but overall in the long run money does most damage / debt / death....
Anyway more rant coming so maybe stop there.,...
The for-profit hospitals we have and then the 'never having enough' for those services with 'cut backs' somehow is all a con... (greed and greenwashing, or in th case of using hospitals a kind of whitewashing perhaps for the nontransparent backend)
Even staff know little about that but bless them they are eternal helps I think being abused (have to work almost unpaid for few years)...
(perhaps perhaps)
Consequentialism (pragmatism, teleology, Machiavellism...) vs. Deontology (ethics as a duty, as in Kant).

Oh, there's the Hitch Gathering happening right now and for the next weeks in Bulgaria, at the Black Sea! https://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchgathering/2022
#hitchhiking from Bristol to Blackpool:
- motorhome with 3 coming back from a funeral
- father driving son back from uni scouting
- couple with dog who are also travellers
- Welsh guy on way to new job
- Scottish guy back from working in Ukraine (farm manager)
Someone asked me the other day why I do it. It's these totally immersive interactions with strangers, the only thing you have in common being literal direction.
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book

3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
