Settle for potatoes?! Potatoes would be extremely difficult to grow in an apocalyptic scenario, no? Potatoes stocks have a good shelf life and might turn into gold depending on the situation causing the food shortage.

Oh boy. U think Norfolk southern could line up a car with a sheriff crossing? Or were u talking about the cocaine?

One of my highest concerns and grievances with working towards retirement in the US. Even if you do everything ’ right’. All it takes is a bad roll of the cancer dice and your family is fucked. Your hard work is washed down the drain. And there’s not a single political fuck in chance of reform in our lifetimes.

There is another way… To ride the rails.

E: its not cocaine. I’m talking about jumping on the back of freight trains and riding. Thought I should clarify for you heathen’s. And to be sure, it will be a lot slower, you may not get to your destination at all but you will understand the meaning of: its about the journey, not the destination…

Holy shit thanks for sharing. Was unaware of this great comedy and only tangentialy aware of Zizek

I really think !Unix_surrealism would like to have a talk with you.

Its not won’t somebody think of the children… Its get this shit out of their face. Block it. Thats the beauty of the fediverse.

The initial point was that younger generations feed off engagements. You block the conversation and it doesn’t exist. Its not a matter of closing your eyes to the world. Its closing the gates to the exact statement I made. Does no one understand how the younger generation get the information? Engagement. Was the answer. Failure to allow a platform will stop the spread of the misinformation in the first place.

‘Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference’.

E: these people and often misinformation machines are not trying to have a discourse. They are planting propaganda. ie. The qoute above. Stop the shit in your home. End the spread by denying a platform.

E2: I mean. I get what your saying on an institutional level, but fuck that this is a social media instance argument so. My first edit stands.

Does no one here understand the younger generations access to ideas? I think the idea that every one claims of creating echo chambers is not an effective one. The law of diminishing returns (as a business term) states that all else held equal an increase in production( or the free debate or posting of opinions) will not produce more profit after a certain point ( or the changing of others opinions) . When it comes to people posting and espousing for state sponsored genocide I think we have hit the top of that curve. If you stop the flow of that information you are not creating echo chambers but more effectively stopping the spread of bullshit and hate. They have Xhitter. Fucking ban this genocidal shit every chance you get, either foundationally or personally. I dont get a whiff of this on shitjust works because I dont engage with it.

Its not a challenge if the majority of users are drinking it up happily

And that is still much less than 51% of the population

Bitches love gold. Just sayin.

I’ve been in this thread before. Honestly I’ve just embraced it. I actually use it now. As a quick page refresh.

PS this app rocks

Yah I suppose its just as preposterous that we have multiple trillion dollar valuations for any fucking single entity. Thank god they are defined as a person under Citizens United and can contribute to the democratic process. /s

I once had an old timer in an Ireland pub tell me ‘the Guinness isn’t as good as it used be since they stopped using the fish guts.’ I can now imagine he was referencing this process? I wonder if Guinness stopped using this step as a cost reduction? Or maybe they still use it and he was just an old timer in an Irish pub. He probably doesn’t like people fact checking him on the internet so I’ll just let him have this one.

Do we have a trillionaire?

Same. Its beautiful and the number one feature for me.
