Nationwide demand for raw milk has never been higher, as out-of-control bureaucrats in their ivory towers in Washington, DC, exploit bird flu outbreaks in dairy herds to financially crush small farms.

@sun i will never understand people who despise someone with all their might, because 3 years ago that person had a cup of coffee with someone who does not unequivocally agree with every ethical, moral and political opinion that they hold.

then they have the gall to turn around afterwards and claim that others are the toxic ones for not accepting or considering the opinions or rights of others

Get our name out of your whore mouth, you revolting shitpile. We went out of our way to never interact with you.

bluesky is a great asylum

toot.lgbt went out of their way to scrape this instance in order to issue a #fediblock against it, effectively working as a bad-actor to sabotage the domain.

This is (currently) a single-user instance, the timeline isn't public, and toot.lgbt (plus, all the instances they hang out with) were already blocked via /etc/hosts, meaning federation/communication to/from my server and theirs was impossible---they never saw, nor would have ever seen, any content from this instance (and vice-versa) past the point they were local-host loop-backed via /etc/hosts. Meaning, they purposely went out, and actively sought means of, retrieving content herein (to get upset over and then cry #fediblock).

If this isn't an example of maliciousness then I don't know what is. These Mastodon instances are a terroristic blight upon the Fediverse.

Hey all..

What's the best way to fund a service like #Bandwagon?

I strongly believe that the #Fediverse needs a sustainable funding model to be competitive with BlueSky, Xitter, and Facebook. More than just donations and mutual aid, people should be able to make careers on the Fediverse.

I'm reevaluating how I'll pay for bandwagon.fm in the long term. And I want to make something that's still "free forever"

Do you think there's a place for the #Freemium Fediverse?

How many evil companies do you support every fucking day. The t-shit you own is made in Mexico by someone who gets paid $5 a day. The CPU in your laptop is put together by someone in Indonesia that makes $20 a week. The food you eat is produced by farmers and ranchers who see their margins cut ever fucking season, whose neighbors are selling out to factory farm companies and Bill Gates back firmed because it's not worth it.

> Yes

FUCK YOU! You want me to die? For working a fucking job you stupid fucking ideological cunt?! I try to be nice to you with your horrific bad takes, but Jesus Fucking Christ. You don't fucking know me. You don't know all the things I've done and see and all the ways I try to just be a decent human being.

You want me to die? What the actual fuck is wrong with you? How are you such a god damn shitty person you want some random person on the Internet who worked two years as a fucking software grunt at an insurance company to fucking die?

Do you want all McDonalds employees to die? They work for a horrible company. Do you want all Samsung employees to die? Their company controls a fucking nation.

Just fuck you brain dead piece of vile garbage.

@lucy IP is a spook and incompatible with physical property.

OK,

I'm not advocating murder, but is this murder or does it fall within the category of 'self defense' (I don't know, I'll leave that up for debate). So this United Healthcare CEO apparently was shot by a disgruntled customer who probably got shafted or someone related. On the bullet casing he had laser inscribed "deny, defend, depose". I'm not sure if he's my hero or someone I should be shaking my head in disgust of. However I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, and given the inscription my gut is he's someone we should all be looking up to for taking a stand against the wrongs of politicians, mafia created health insurance entitles, and the like.

For those unaware the government(s) of the world have regulated health coverage to a point where I can't gather like minded friends to share the cost in covering my and their health care costs without risk of being persecuted for my beliefs. This is to say it's not insurance, but like-insurance in that it socializes the costs among consenting participants without involvement of a for-profit entity or government. The only entities excluded are ~5-6 religious entities that pre-date some law that have something akin to health insurance, but instead of paying for insurance you pay the costs of the bills of those whom are part of a group. It's way cheaper, but as a person who does not believe in organized religion I'm explicitly excluded. These solutions to health coverage are about half the cost from what I'm told. Prior to the laws of today most people partook in voluntary clubs and groups that would cover these costs. They'd pay in and get health care coverage in return.

Sometimes the best solution is neither in government socialism nor capitalism, but for that we need volunteerism.
