Definitely watch Big Trouble in Little China. You won't regret it, I think π
Where is Michael anyway? He should be here with us! Quick, someone with a twitter account drag him over here.
Wouldn't think it would need saying in such a liberty/bitcoin heavy forum but I see bad spelling all the time. Sometimes people's words contradict what they're saying.
Friendly reminder that just because a government steals money from you and uses it for evil doesn't mean you're evil.
If someone stole your car and hit a pedestrian would you feel guilt?
Statists want you to feel guilty. They want you to feel culpable. Stop using terms like we when talking about a government. And don't call it my/your/our government. That is an illusion perpetuated by language. Words are like magic so be careful with your spelling.
Our government? Such propaganda! American? Such assumption! The world is bigger than America lol
The original post and my reply were specifically about the war in Ukraine and not the whole system but I'll take a bite out of that too.
By your logic a slave benefits from their master because he feeds them. Sure technically they're benefiting but they'd benefit much more from almost any other system. It may be a benefit but not a net benefit. The system takes more than it gives.
And then there's the word we again. You're making an assumption about who I am and where I live. Lots of people on this planet don't benefit from this system at all.
It's relatively easy to predict and measure the intended outcomes of most actions. Though the unintended consequences are more difficult to measure, they often outweigh the intended ones. If only people would consider this before demanding that someone "do something" about something.
I can't think of a single way that I benefit from the war in Ukraine. There may be some unseen butterfly effect but it's certainly a net loss for me.
Me last winter π
How ironic would it be if this guy ran someone over while playing with his cookies?

When you say "I stand with Ukraine" at this point this is what you are "standing with". Random young men abducted on the street, thrown into a vehicle, forced into service, given a few weeks of training at best, then sent to the front as fodder. Whole new level of voluntold.
This is all so we can deplete weapons stores, gain battle testing against an advanced force and Raytheon, Lockheed, et. all can make trillions selling more weapons to the government paid for of course with stolen tax dollars.
Not one fuckin thing your TV tells you about the Russo-Ukraine war is accurate, not one.
Agreed, but I'd replace "we" with "they" since we aren't benefitting. Unless we own stock in Raytheon π
This may be the only case where I give a fuck about pronouns π
Does it ever snow there? Wondering how much weight would be too much.
I looked into alby at one point but wasn't able to find a way to install extrnsions without logging into a google account. I admit I didn't try very hard.
Perhaps as a temporary solution you could detect a lack of NIP-07 and throw an error.
Nope. No extensions at all.
Fraud should be punished by a free market.
Sending seems to be working now. Next step is to get incoming zaps working with #amethyst and #mutiny.
Tried it a bunch of times and it wasn't working but after a long wait and retry it seems to have worked.
