Since I was quite young at the millennium, but old enough to totally remember it, they’ll come a day (hopefully) when I’m one of the few very old people in the world who “remembers the 20th century”. Like how there were a small number of people kicking around in the 1980s who could remember the 1800’s…
Am seriously considering founding a not-for-profit to provide an ad free / spam free / bot free basic community. Would cost a dollar or two a month. Chief differences to the lemmy would be one account per person via proof of identity signup (I think this would improve behaviour and discourage spam), a single authority to tackle voting abuse and other things useful to be not federated.
Aside from that revenue would cover technical staff costs + hosting and the rest could go to some good cause. There’s be no ads. No data selling. Not conflict of interest over how the platform evolves. Would be open source. Adults only.
Id keep it as basic as possible to try and capture the spirit of 90s fora. Am not even sure I’d allow inline images or vid.
Thoughts?
Should be a filter on tinder
intelligence != “thinking”
Things only have a price if they have to. Price is, to some degree, an indication of power exchange. If they wanted or needed you to talk about it then there would be a price. As it happens you do it for nothing.
Responsibility occurs in proportion to the ability to stop or control a thing. Individuals are responsible for most of their crimes but not all. Society is to blame for some crime but not all.
Companies have dress codes. Is it too much for kids to have a predictable leveling environment where the most important thing is learning? Once they’re grown up, “Katy” not being able to wear a bikini on the office floor, or Todd not being able to wear his gym tank top on the hotel front desk becomes obvious. So why is restricting that at school not ok?
Huh? Second hand uniform sales are massive in the UK. Every school has one. Maybe not in the states? Don’t know why…
Small government conservatives: “get the government and all its “rules” out of our lives!”
School board: “you’re right, each family should decide what schoolwear is appropriate and I guess people will have to manage themselves and their own reputation…”
Small government conservatives: “no not like that!”
Because they won?
What would be the point of this from a non fucked up standpoint?
I think the bad and good reasons can be true at the same time. Plenty of others list the bad reasons. For the good reasons:
They have also bombed the caravan on primary roadway people are taking out of the city, according to several news sources
Fwiw the video that Hamas themselves released shows an explosion that is very much not a missile or artillery. It has a large orange flameball, doesn’t leave a crater, leaves windows on the vans intact.
This was most likely a propane IED of which Hamas are known to use. Or a tragic accident (trucks propane tank exploding).
Double_A Nerdy men playing a board game are intidimating? How do women even get anything in life done of they are this fragile? WTF? Do you also want separate women-only schools, and women-only companies?
Rbmellor Tf are they in separate groups for? Don’t girls know how sexy they look playing cheers?
System_glitch And the real reason is because women don’t do well against men. They get dominated except for a very small minority. So I orde for women to have more parity, they have women’s chess A biological man competing with them is, statistically, a huge advantage.
Two others I recall have been since been removed
Etc
America was founded by shrill religious fetishists…
Plenty of enlightened gents hitting the thread here to rubbish the need for a women’s category whilst simultaneously demonstrating the need for a women’s category
Humans are apes. It’s monkeys we’re not descended from.
