Dead cat for the win(d).

All truth claims are a mix of reason and faith.

He forgot "surveillence industrial complex" and "totalitarian despots" under stakeholders.

I agree. It will be horrible, and most people, including myself, are not ready for the negative consequences. We're also not ready for the inevitible collapse due to hyperinflation. People aren't even prepared for inflation, as it is. They're just on autopilot, hoping that everything will be ok, as their savings are hollowed out.

But, I'm also optimistic. The ability for humans to adapt and keep prospering against all odds is amazing.

As far as ending the Fed, similar arguments were made against ending slavery in the US. "It will destroy the economy and upend the country through civil war." And, it did. But, we recovered.

Ask yourself, will the masses ever be prepared for the painful phases you suggest? Should doing the right thing be abandoned because it will be hard? Are the consequences of controlled, proactive change (changing the system or creating a parallel one) better than that of sudden, reactive change (system collapse)?

The country was founded on "Live Free or Die." People had courage to risk it all, because they knew the consequences of not acting. Today, the propoganda is so effective that people are unware of the problem, that we're driving towards a cliff.

When the collapse does happen, they will scream "Why didn't we do something earlier?"

One of my favorites is equal parts Vodka, Amaretto, and Frangelico in hot chocolate.

Awesome to know this is possible with Mestastic.

I've been playing around with it trying to extend my area's local mesh. But, I thought it was mainly just text comms. I was thinking I'd have to start digging into Reticulum for stuff like this.

Super cool!

Yeah, we (US) have been under the influence of subtle communist propoganda for a long time.

Watch some 80's and early 90's movies. A lot of bad guys are some evil, rich banker taking something from the working-class towns people.

While I agree that big businesses can do bad things, it's usually a symptom of true fascism or corporatism.

Most people never think of small businesses. But, they make up 99.9% of businesses and employ about 1/2 of the US.

Post some picture of your rats as they come along!

Dang, abandoned castle looks cleaner than the house I live in 👀

Watching my son grow up, and getting to be part of his adventure.

From what I can tell, a dev made it to stress test the network and force all client devs to overcome spam threats.

In Amethyst, I have added the bot's name to my blacklist, and I don't see the spam anymore.

I think the larger issue is it is overloading relays.

GM!

I think some kids prank you in the middle of the night or aliens?

Index syntax do be wrecking homes.

Do they have meetings in the goulag?

I talk about this a lot. People look at a burger or a pizza and say it's unhealthy.

Grilled or baked, lol.

Yeah, I beleive they started censoring search results to filter out any news from inside Russia.

That was a while ago. Not sure what the status is, now. But, big red flag.

Whaaaa?! Those all sound awesome!
