I can see that. If you’re a hateful or bigoted person and you tell people about that then they like you less usually, so by not telling people about your trump support you would lose less friends

well that’s fun

he carrier is a protoss air unit in StarCraft, it has many interceptor drones that it houses which scale outward to attack the enemy.

who cares about this? I mean if it’s something he’s still into yeah but teenagers will take lots of photos that are not to be taken seriously

hail emoji?

That’s a great step. For anyone else too that wants to quit their job and start a business of their own you’re an inspiration now.

Do you have everything set up already?

You’ll need: a state business license, and maybe one for your local town and/or county.

A insurance person to get general liability insurance, and you’ll probably need commercial auto, and possibly EOI and a to get bonded

a website is going to be great if you have basic computer understanding. Get your name and website name and purchase the domain it as soon as you can. Once you have a website you can add all the basic questions people would waste your time with. get your business phone number and email all over that. You can even run website ads if you like which is likely to bring in business on it’s own but you have to pay for it so you want to be careful there and only give very hyper specific words in your target word or you’ll waste money. You can always pay someone to do the website and ads for you.

a CPA to help you with you taxes

maybe a bookkeeper

you can get a few t shirts and hats and or jackets and stickers and whatever oneline easily enough

business cards to give out to all the clients you meet too

We agree that the current situation won’t change itself, and change to this system from inside of it would likely be stifled and repressed.

I agree that we need to keep trying to find a better way, because there are many people are will certainly keep trying to make things worse for us.

The first step is a better way to communicate between ourselves about what we want, why we want it, and how to enact our intentions.

With the advent and use of the internet we now have the possibility for a new way to organize our collective wants.

This system, which I call a consensus engine, would let us as a species make long term goals and work towards their fruition. Without some way to communicate that is less sustainable to misinformation I don’t see any way we can get out of this into something better.

PBS Space Time is pretty great

I’d say there is a huge amount of bots, then the smart bots, then the actual shills. The smarter ones run complex operations and are able to use their own power to self propel their own stories. And there are a lot of similar ‘power users’ who are not wholly paid for by someone but would do work for the highest bidder. I’d bet that yes, 50% of what’s on the front page of major things is reputation management or Hail Corporate stuff, then I’d wager the mostly less popular stuff is actual people, with a ton of bad posts from all sides at the low popularity

But what is unique is the fact that we have an extremely well preserved corpus of text surrounding him.

IIFC all those writing are dated to well after the life time, like 100 year past it or so. It may be a bunch of written things but there is no/little reason to take those writings as anything but written down stories.

Ever play Telephone with a single word for 5 minutes? Now do that to a epic for 100 years, the end result will certainly be something but it may be nothing like the truth

Sounds like the CCP approach to twain with the "but a ‘kingdom’ in the past had this territory so we are entitled to it.

This would be a direct link to the photo: https://i.imgur.com/NMNDl6b.png that I think it pretty interesting but that video shows a controlled disclosure timeline slide that is very interesting because the 2026 target of getting the fact accepted by some is potentially off track and it’s from there that the academic study and eventual (timed currently 2030 {accd that slide}) total public disclosure are based on that milestone

and do you have one of those? Because form what I hear they beep when you’re being a good drive too and you end up being a worse (than good) driver trying not to get the beeps

can I just use the zester to get some of the acidic bite back into a fresh sqeeuzed thing?

fuck all these ‘tribalism’ promotion posts, we should be finding ways to work together. Lisa, you’re tearing me apart!

when the food has 2 days worth of sodium in it, you get thirsty. Many people don’t drink enough water so then your thirsty and have your liter-of-cola and you can down it easily at that point

Do you have a written summary of that? I hate watching videos, and the dark forest book was fun but without a clue I don’t understand the change to internet

When in most of our lifetimes has the u.s. presidental election not been ‘the lesser of two evils’?

If all cops ate seven grams of magic mushies I think the world would be a much better place for everyone who has to deal with cops

Do you agree that those who are tasked with upholding the law should be allowed to violate that same law with impunity?

I understand your comment but I don’t see how it could overcome the above question in regard to police officers.
