Trip this: if trump's ashes are shipped to the moon or some asteroid, and a billion years into the future it (trump/trump's ashes) becomes the foundational DNA for a new species of mammalian+reptilian hybrid that now terrorizes a star system several light years away.

Do you think that God will ever forgive us? https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/moon-cargo-like-human-ashes-drink-containers-sparks-legal-debate-2024-02-06/

Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard introduced the bill out of fears that people will soon be eating people without that person’s “knowledge or consent.”

As an introvert and wannabe hermit I socialize with very few people, and almost no one outside of necessity.

Even so, I know 5 people affected or killed by Covid.

1 died very early on from Covid Pneumonia. A former good friend, who went from a free-thinking hippie like dude to a "don't take my guns" bigoted classist republican. Also a doomsday prepper. Lot of good that did him.

3 have long Covid which takes them out of "production" on a regular basis.

1 had a heart attack from the damage it caused and barely made it out alive. He'll never have a quality life from now on.

Covid has such a prevalent and devastating effect on our society that our entire race has suffered permanent damage from it.

Quality of life, a thriving economy and culture has degraded to a shadow of its former self.

Humankind no longer lives, it just survives.

Ok so this turned out to be a pretty crazy thread!

"Lawmakers and the governor are so proud of themselves that they’ve already branded this misguided way to deal with homelessness “The Florida Model.” But mandating that a class of people exist behind by barbed wire and supervised by authorities in the name of “security” is called internment. It’s incarceration as punishment for being destitute. And, it’s despicable — reminiscent of some of the world’s worst atrocities."

There is already a subterfuge in government and media trying to quell the people who are attempting to bring it to light.

It actually compares to where we are in climate change as well, the early stages of the more severe effects of authoritarianism.

Counterpoint.

The public doubts whether the Supreme Court can even use objective reasoning in this case.

Dawg, no fascist movement has ever gotten everyone to agree, or even a majority of people to agree. They don't care. They don't care about reality either. By the time this is over, legally speaking, Trump will have WON the 2020 election because that is what they're going to change the laws and history to say. This is HOW fascism works. They're not trying to CONVINCE you, they're trying to FORCE YOU to comply and render your opinions and even REALITY, fucking IRRELEVANT.

That's HOW IT WORKS.

the_Effekt,

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Spot on. We're at the point at which there is nothing functional in 95% in the houses of the Administration that will prevent this oppression.

This is happening in both parties. With the Republicans it's just obvious, in-your-face and much faster.

Pro-war Democrats should be happy today as the only anti-war candidate has dropped out. Remember when Democrats were opposed to Bush/Cheney as opposed to embracing their policies with Clinton and then Biden?

@rchusid

War is becoming a disgrace among Democratic constituents, I would say the majority by now. This may well sink the Democratic Party.

I love #Mastodon so much. Last night I posted an #introduction on a whim, just to say hello.

I expected to be ignored just like I have been so many times on #twitter (refuse to call the #birdsite "X", ugh).

I woke up to numerous #boost notifications and new followers. Wow.

A place to actually connect.

How wonderful.

Happy to meet you all, I am Jessa!

Hi Jessa. Nice to virtually meet you! 😁

When a web hosting company changes their system, any new bugs that cause extra work on the Administrators part should be paid for by the web hosting company.

You have to come to grips with the fact that they have no bottom. Once you own that, you'll stop being shocked and wondering when they'll stop. They WON'T. EVER. They have to BE STOPPED.

I'm looking forward to the point at which people abandon the "tried and true" techniques that have failed time and again throughout history.

I personally would like to go back to medieval methods.

We might not be that far away from some similar type of retaliation. As each day goes by I'm feeling more and more like we're just play-acting our civility with a pressure-cooker under the surface.

A report into soaring grocery prices, rising energy bills and steep airfares will be released on Wednesday amid expectations its findings and recommendations will cause a headache for some of the country's biggest and most powerful companies.

It comes amid a cost of living crisis that has intensified an already-growing distrust of supermarkets, airlines and energy companies.

At the heart of the price gouging inquiry, initiated by the ACTU and led by Allan Fels, is determining in a high inflation environment what's general inflation and what else might be influencing pricing behaviour, the main offending price gouging industries, how they do it and how it impacts everyday Australians.

I have real trouble getting my head around the way we nearly eliminated flu season for a year and now we're right back to accepting tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths per year. Same with Covid, of course. How many other lives could we save with modest change?

the_Effekt,

@williampietri

I guess the economy is so fragile that we can't afford another stall. So people must die to keep the money flowing.

the_Effekt,

@williampietri

I believe we could have both too, but some reform in how it's all managed would need to take place.

"Can I have more garlic for my pasta?"

Me: "Uhh... you might want to bring someone younger over here".

I don't like to dwell to much on the cristian mythos, mostly because I did so plenty of times while growing up. Yet Hazbin Hotel has me thinking about it again, and I realize, Lucifer and Jesus actually have a lot in common. Which is a bit ironic honestly...

the_Effekt,

@SavahRellcast

They were both betrayed by that which they loved the most. And Lucifer may have had a better understanding of humankind than Jesus.

Yeah, I'll burn a #GiftArticle for WaPo dunking on Nextdoor: https://wapo.st/3ukb2Zg

"“Nextdoor taught me that my neighbors are bad people,” said one former subscriber online. “I really would have preferred not to know that.” It’s not entirely the fault of the people who run Nextdoor. They’ve got all kinds of reminders to be kind, to not be racist, to not overreact. But its very existence fosters exactly that. It’s like owning a roadside bar and telling people not to drink and drive."

the_Effekt,

@danlyke

Small town Nextdoors are much nicer. I don't use it a whole lot myself but see a lot of the conversations. I can boast being the founder of my Nextdoor neighborhood.

the_Effekt,

@danlyke

Totally opposite for me. I grew up in the Baltimore Washington area and did my best to move away from the population ever since.

the_Effekt,

@danlyke

There is a convenience to larger towns, cheaper restaurants, car repairs, grocery stores nearby. Small down side for me though.

The less people I have to deal with, the better off I am.
