Being freelance is cool because you don't have employers, you have clients which is approximately 100% cooler

IDK much about the story of getting sued by some woman for lying about her on , but bravo on her part for going about censoring fake news the right way.

Put it in court. We have libel and slander laws for a reason! And honestly, people get away with it all the time because nobody feels like suing.

@stux Got my bucks a week or two ago, actually! Just paid off my debts from spending too much on gifts yesterday!

Internet connectivity is not free. Somebody has to lay cable or put up radio towers. Somebody has to route the traffic through data centers. All of that costs money. Hence, somebody has to pay for it. Higher bandwidth costs more money, hence different provider/consumer links have wildly different cost. And it's a big system, much more than ANY centralized organization can possibly manage. That's what markets are about. And price drives markets. The net neutrality crowd thinks they can just forget about all that and make everybody equal.

Read Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, or watch the film that was made of it. Equality of opportunity is a noble goal. Equality of outcome is impossible, and evil.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @issdeinschnitzel @alex @death@husk.site @niggaflamebuttholeaids @SandiaMesa @dsfgs @billstclair Look if you're just gonna sit here and assume I have the worst motive, and say I am opposed to life I'm done with this conversation. You don't really know my motives and don't even care enough to ask.

For your part, I'm sure your motives are pure and it really seems like your heart is in the right place; it's just that you're a little misguided and the policies you support are counterintuitive to your goal, although you cannot see that just yet, and that's understandable.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @billstclair @dsfgs @SandiaMesa @niggaflamebuttholeaids @death@husk.site @alex @issdeinschnitzel That only matters if you can go back in time and prevent shootings, because such stats cannot reliably tell us whether or not any particular individual will use a weapon for good or ill. Statistics can say in general, schizos kill people with gun, and that's fine. But that does not tell us if any given schizo will magically become murderous once given a gun.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @issdeinschnitzel @alex @death@husk.site @niggaflamebuttholeaids @SandiaMesa @dsfgs @billstclair Yeah, because all people with any given mental condition have the same level of competence with safe gun handling.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @billstclair @dsfgs @SandiaMesa @niggaflamebuttholeaids @death@husk.site @alex @issdeinschnitzel Okay and who is "safe" lol

That's entirely subjective.

Let's say I run the country and have gun control. I think homosexuality is a mental illness, and let's say the scientists go back to supporting this view. So we just strip guns away from all the gays? That's ludicrous, and a monstrous destruction of human rights.

@trending The reason why "Pleroma" and "Mastodon" don't show up is because they are words in the dictionaries I'm using.
