Part of all that is this modern monetary theory nonsense; the idea that you can just print money however you want and it’s not tied to any source of value. Yea that unskilled retail worker should probably be making $20/hr now to get by, but once that happens, all the skilled workers will want more and it goes up the chain. Meanwhile the billionaires aren’t cutting their wealth to curtail the problem.
We’re dangerously close to a path of hyper-inflation, and it’s likely intentional. Prepare to see new digital dollars that will be better than regular monies .. cause they’ll expire and be traced to your carbon score and all other types of dystopian bullshit.

imagine being so bitter in life that you misinterpreted his tweet in the worst way possible because you deem your elon derangement syndrome to be way more important than his effort to get rid of CP
you know, the one thing twitter’s previous management seemed to care very little about? if at all?
bunch of disgusting cunts
I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.
They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.
Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.
One of the nicer revelations in learning languages for me is that even native speakers wouldn't "know" the rules of their own language and operate largely by feelings anyway~
So instead of trying to perfectly understand all the rules it is better to train my mind, somehow, so that I can start to "feel" things like them
Internet is very weird for me right now.
International download speeds seem to be very inconsistent. I'm either getting my full contract speed (usually to EU capitals) or less than 1Mbps to anything else.
At the same time upload speed is just fine everywhere around the world.
The result seems to be that fedi has reached a record low loading speed for me.
Just another random person passing by.
The Alyx Vance must go this way anyway.
Gordon Freeman dies in All Dogs Go To Heaven 2.
I wasn't designed to be carried.
En Taro Igel!
Lift me up, let me go...
