Gay trans woman here. Queer people absolutely can get turned on by our own naked bodies. I have first hand experience.

For those who aren't getting the joke: Hebrew script is written right-to-left.

Google couldn't be bothered to advertise the product at all. Except, apparently, to me specifically. I must have seen the same handful of Stadia advertisements literally 100+ times while watching YouTube. I got very sick of it after a certain point.

Why not remove power from the CIA directly?

At any rate, enforcement policies simply do not work in terms of effectiveness or money. Read Narconomics by Tom Wainwright. He's an economist who looks at the drug trade like an industry, and he's got a pretty thorough breakdown of how much these policies cost versus their effectiveness.

Not to mention that the way the CIA justifies itself is by claiming to protect us from all these shadowy evil foreign organizations coming to take your rights. Going all in on a border wall is pretty much endorsing their propaganda wholesale. It's exactly what a lot of these CIA ghouls want--more money for their buddies in ICE.

The "fed" nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it'd be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?

I mean, for Mastodon it's gotta be "Mastodonians"

Kbingers

Feds (as in "Everyone here is secretly a cop") or Fedizens

... That's what a primary is for. So people can, like, actually choose.

There are a LOT of people who don't want Biden for another four years. There are people who didn't like him, but have warmed up to him.

Would he win a primary? Yeah, probably, because of incumbent advantage.

But that should be for people to decide.

Absolutely agree that copyleft, privacy, open source software are important no matter who you are.

I don't work on servers or anything for a living. I need some systems knowledge for my job, but mostly it's focused on talking to people and relaying information.

But I believe in this sort of thing because allowing capitalist corporations to control large parts of our daily toolset is bullshit, and it leads to bad outcomes. Shitty subscription models, stagnation, being squeezed for every penny.

I hate the control that a tiny number of unelected assholes have over us. The sharing society of the future will not have copyright in the traditional sense.

I absolutely do not work in tech. I'm not gonna share what my day job is, but it mostly involves talking to people, knowing product, and some lighter technical knowhow.

Through the years I've messed around enough to get some basic technical knowhow (how to plug parts into a computer, install a Linux distro, etc.) but I will fundamentally always be a squishy humanities geek.

I'm on Lemmy because the fediverse matches my political beliefs about how institutions should be run. I'm a big ol commie.

Okay, but all of these methods start with a small fire, a spark, which becomes a larger fire. He's saying you can't get the big fire if there isn't, even for just a brief moment, a tiny fire.
