Full size in Connect on Android for me

While you are correct that suffering is a better metric, there would be many in our society that would gravitate towards higher rated suffering items in the same way they want real fur coats and real leather in their Ferraris. That would backfire quickly.

Yeah that's crazy, I was furious when they fired Victoria back in the day. It's nice to see that Alexis Ohanian is the one who deserves the blame for that massive fuckup. Man that gives me a pang of nostalgia for the old days of reddit though. Interesting that the Wiki article points to Obama's presidency and the 08 financial collapse as a "glass cliff" event.

I'm about to play the Bioshock trilogy for the first time in over a decade. Never played 2 and 3, only got about halfway through 1 when it came out. I'm also about 75% through Super Metroid, which I never beat as a kid. I know that's outside of the 1-2 year window, but I love older games. Scored the Bioshock trilogy for like 15 bucks too, can't beat that.

Wow, that shit is crazy. I read the article posted, and the one within the this article that portrays the decision in a more neutral light. Still very disturbing, this force should not have the ability to arrest citizens after completing a two week training course for a weekend gig.

Desantis notes that Florida has one of the worst National Guard presences in the USA, and this force is to supplement that deficiency. He still doesn't provide any reasonable justification as to why they should be able to arrest citizens, as opposed to just providing relief for natural disasters.

Dems really need to show up in FL in 2024

That's a thought exercise I first explored when I was tripping on LSD one time. Once you accept that colors could look entirely different, what's to stop us from imagining that the entire makeup of our perception is adjusted to the individual, but the chaos of the universe keeps all of our unique perceptions in enough alignment that we can interact seamlessly with one another. The concept of an "alien green man" could be what someone actually sees the whole human species as, and the words "alien green man" just fit a different description to that individual, so when refrenced, that person envisions an alien being as foreign as the "alien green man" is to us, and can communicate with others on that concept.

Perception defines your experience

So this is gonna be the post that makes me ask, "how do we save posted images through Connect?"

I was hoping it'd be something a little more dignified but I need what I need.

Which is why different animals perceive color in different ways. I'd have to look for it but I think it's tigers that see green in a totally different way than people do.

I just finished the Behind the Bastards podcast on Vagrancy. the destruction of the third place and destroying the ability to be anywhere for free without being hassled by the law has changed a part of America that was great. The freedom to exist is becoming elusive. The freedom to find common space with like minded people, that's becoming hard to find too. I hope this place helps.

I really liked Wefwef, it led me to finding Connect, which I like even more. Excited for Sync too, it'll just get easier and easier to help build this community

As a Floridian beach/park goer who is totally fed up with DeSantis' bullshit, I gotta say nothing gives me more satisfaction than to vote Democrat every election. Marching and protesting will do little to nothing here, we have to quash this fascism with our votes. Desantis hit poor black voters with felonies over fraudulent voter fraud charges (the charges brought had no merit) so I have no doubt he would mobilize police forces to give out felonies to any and all Dem voters that march or protest. I'm gonna rip this cancer out from the inside.

Thanks for that, I'll be applying those tweaks on Connect myself. boost looks cool, I've bounce from Jerboa to Wefwef and now to Connect, I think I'll hang out here for awhile unless I hear raving reviews about Boost
