Spiraling up the prices doesn't work for anyone...
ok it works well for the governments taking the % and tax.
Was just told Berlin prices are crazy? Y/N/Maybe?
Even single room prices extremely high... what do you think?

CHESS QUOTES / LIFE QUOTES:
In Chess we are forced to play against each other and do damage as exchange hoping for 1 of us to win.
In Life we can learn to share and therefore less people 'lose'. You also have less 'losers' (in many senses of the word) as the aim can be to learn and share, not destroy and conquer.
-------------------
PERSONAL STORY
When I play chess I allow people to take back moves... but make no mistake some people will not allow other that courtesy and won't want to see how learning excels our logic thinking than the retaliation mindset which is often tempting in chess / life.
I could go on about this but that's enough for now... play better chess / life... start to SHARE the experience with less damage overall and get more LEARNING out of everything!
It would be hard for them to beat us and cash-in our bodies and energy if we SHARE more often whatever we like to do already.
-------------------
EXTENDED IDEA:
Right now allowing people free-stay & some temporary space can avoid these big rents and even allow mutual work to spring up. This gets further than the 'paying for labour as it's too intensive and wasteful to pay (as debt currency) or as 'I only care about this, thank, bye!' and close the door. Living or having frequent conversation allow the quality to come in (which doesn't come in the short term sometimes at all).
ENGLISH LESSON: DEBT & DEATH
-Debt and Death are very similar because they represent loss of energy and loss of life.
Debt is more the financial loss where you have to pay back more than borrowed
Death is the losing and loss of physical health (often related to working too hard / not having balance / not being happy)
For this reason it will be forgiven if you pronounce Debt and Death the same, because they almost are the same.
Charging people more %'s ( numbers) or asking them to work more (labour) is very similar because both have to work harder or give up their health more either way. So to who people have to give their life for as debt increases (Banks and Government). Clever slavery.
BEING JUDGED (ADVICE + TIPS):
- Remember it takes skill to judge someone. Not everyone has it.
- Judging purely on someone else's advice is inaccurate / unreliable / limited
- First sight is always wrong (not enough information)
- If you ask only certain questions then you mostly get those types if answers back (this is can be inhibiting like tunnel vision
- Judging people by the job isn't always what they wanted to do... people perhaps couldn't really choose or customise their job.
- It takes time, quick-judgement is always limited and things have many more contexts... although do keep it mind and do expect more time to show more angles.
- Everyone swims well depending on the waters and people they swim with... your questions or the environment is also unavoidably part of that.
- One way could be to judge and keep judging in small parts but relaxing as you go along!
- Ask people what they prefer to talk about if things are not working out.
If you want practice being asked but not judged then let me know.
Things like this are good practice and I used to stick things like this on the wall to encourage testing the ideas with people or talk about different situations.
It's my way when I shared a flat to see people say "that's interesting... strange to me...etc",
I'd wait till people asked a bit :]
- More than meets the eye with each fish! (see picture also about expectations)
FOOD AS A MANIPULATION
Food is a TOOL for catching people as well as mice... CATCHING PEOPLE
(WHETHER IGNORANT / UNTRAINED OR INNOCENT MICE)
Anyone that goes only for the food (or money for food) only is not realising how important the "WHO" is feeding us"
Because people are sure to be manipulated and eventually trapped. There is more than just taking and even while you might not avoid banks or supermarkets or anyone in between- do realise this simplified mechanism:
FOOD / MONEY = MANIPULATION = TRAP
Shocking perhaps but NO LESS REALITY - MONEY IS USED TO HUNT PEOPLE else give them incentives (which is quite the same).
I personally wouldn't want myself or children to be in this position or 'dancing for their dinner' so that's why I show you.
CHALLENGE / HOMEWORK:
I'll take suggestions how to let mice live (but also how to let people live too, because people above you see people as mice who are only good if they build empires / profit structures for them. It's a hard one both as mice around my house or as people in the world! Yes let them live or have some kind of kinder death / kinder options!
I advise you talk endlessly the rest of your life about letting people live otherwise always someone is going to be chasing another person.
Hope you get the right message even after initial emotional thoughts - it's about the long-term consideration not the "i-only-follow" and "money is ok" mentality which 100% will get you in trouble and traps. So that solution quite solves many others or you can solve it another way but must come back to this and the picture.
Thank you for your attention / Letting others live... not hunting / profit-infused relationships.
Gardening / Food Picture
...Garden Apples (loads still left) blended and funneled into juice bottles.
I see this as the right kind of ammunition against accelerating effects of supermarkets and price wars on us (or simply maximizing each of our habits purely for profit).
Bottles go for a good few days minimum (I can drink 1 in a day) and last a few weeks if add sugar or honey.
Needs releasing of extra air once in a week at least. ^_^
And even when 'bad' / oxygenated at top, is still bearable / mixable / eatable with rest!

After being up for only about a week QOTO's main matrix chat room (the lobby) is approaching 100 users (including guests). Really happy I brought up the service, I've enjoyed all the chats.
For those interested you can join the chat here. If you arent logged in you'll be a guest, highly recommend registering though as you cant do much as a guest.
I've been Internet Archive’s biggest fan for ages. Today I'm also its newest staff member! I'm thrilled to announce that I am now the Internet Archive's Program Manager for Special Collections.
Apparently my years of building a massive library of documents and interviews about Atari computers for fun taught me how to build special collections at Internet Archive.
While the details haven't been officially announced yet, I can say that the special collection I'll be working on first is a massive digital library of #amateurradio. If you know someone with a trove of ham radio books, magazines, videos, or personal files, no matter how large, IA can digitize it all and make it available to the world.
I'll be also publishing interviews and oral histories of #hamradio people. Who are the community members whose stories need to be shared?
Just sharing some #Linux "Pep-Art" (if there was ever such a thing) that I think wouldn't look bad as a #wallpaper either.
(Sent from my FreeBSD machine :D)
@joel yup, the sort of convenience that big tech likes to eventually make mandatory.
ROOT OF PROBLEMS:
Opinions and own-politics are not largely not wanted and not merged or merged negatively/weaponized)
Not much to earn out there out of ethics of the humanities... or enforcing those types of things
(systems don't value or need it)
And not suggesting good ethics things need to be paid but conversely why pay people to do the bad?
I think everything shouldn't have to be paid as we would do it anyway with some safety nets and decision-making from self.

Money Scams via Tech
+ Carl Sagan Quote
"Science is more that a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking."
- Carl Sagan Quote (At 2m30s of this video below)
I wrote this post because more and more I find educated people agree that politics is in everything everywhere and Carl Sagan confirm the way of thinking which for me also shows "it's possible" that Tech and Money and Everything "might not be innocent" as Tech or anything humanly designed is made and put together FOR something... and that is a way of (profit) thinking using Tech... so what innocent people don't not see in these games are the small knowledge and thinking FOR being cheated regularly out of money.
These videos show how easy it is to fool humans or use technology that is faster than human eye or unclear as game (also as in money - who knows is it just simple number on paper?)
How can the owners of technology on large scale cheat people - video shows through smaller games (physics and electronics)
Tech enables people to take / siphon and take people's money without them seeing behind the screen. That is BOTH tech's fault (for some of it make as machine for money) AND people for using it unfairly and *just* for money (sometimes fun but illusion of fun without saying it's near-impossible or that the owner can select when it wins... is not fun).
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=vXBfwgwT1nQ
This Arcade Game is a SCAM (with proof)
It's not skill it's creating a near-miss illusion to get money.
Innocent people would never even imagine online technology to push prices up like airline ticket companies sharing information to see you're checking the same tickets across all their websites and push prices up per refresh etc)... do

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

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...!
