@PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @coolboymew @RehnSturm256 Honestly, before Poast came along, what united this side of the fedi was the value of decentralization and wanting to get away from big tech. Other than that, there wasn't that much drama between users, outside of the Mastodon NetworkTM side that blocks anyone that is on some fediblock list on GitHub. I had people from all backgrounds following me, anime-avatar Nazis, libertarians, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, tech enthusiasts, and people who just hated big tech but were otherwise "normies".

I think the problem with most of the Poastoids is that they have the mentality that any community they participate in should be their own echo-chambers. Now you got these people gatekeeping something that isn't even theirs, and the fediverse is even more fractured than ever.

Nostr seems to be more like pre-2021 fedi. That's probably why Alex Gleason seems to have favored it over fedi now. There are still a lot of people who constantly talk about how Bitcoin is going to save the world, but if you can get past that, it's pretty laid-back. And the way it operates means that users are forced to judge other users on an individual basis instead of blocking entire instances.

@RehnSturm256 @SuperSnekFriend the problem is that people on the fedi really, really, love to get into online fights for stupid reasons and many of them came from other communities notorious for that.

HOW INDUSTRIAL HEMP COULD SAVE OUR WORLD

In 1941, Henry Ford built a car out of plastic made from hemp, flax, wheat, and spruce pulp. material. It ran on ethanol made from hemp and other agricultural waste. Ford's bioplastic Model T was was lighter than fiberglass and ten times stronger than steel.

Popular Mechanics, in its December 1941 issue, reported that "Ford's experimental model was a step toward the realization of his dream to grow automobiles from soil and reduce greenhouse gases."

When Ford was building his bio car, greenhouse gasses were already in the public eye and the car started a renewed public conversation on the merits of biomass versus fossil fuel.

@MechaSilvio @confederatehobo @sickburnbro My area has stores selling milk in glass bottles. You are expected to return the bottles after consumption and you get $2 back. It works as far as I can tell.

@gentoobro @PurpCat @jyushimatsu And that is also the problem because you need to have played a diverse library of games in order to be a good dev. Masahiro Sakurai even played the games he hated growing up just to learn what does and does not work.

You definitely can't have many other hobbies alongside game dev. Playing games included.

@matthew I used to work for my great uncle's electric company, doing data entry and he did not know what Microsoft Excel was. I used his Microsoft Word templates and manually calculated everything in the tables.

Are you a solopreneur, creator or small business owner?

What do you use for keeping track of income and expenses? A spreadsheet? Text files? Desktop or web software? Paid or free software?

Neither side will make housing affordable, at least not on purpose. To do that you need the price of houses to drop by around 80%. Yeah, current homeowners will get rekt, but they weren't complaining when they were getting magical "appreciation" money and getting free inflation money in the form of their mortgage. House prices will come down when mortgage rates stay high, like 10%+, for several years at least. Artificially low rates are what caused the housing price inflation in the first place.

As we approach a new S-election, we have an opportunity to question the status quo and pick apart the Propaganda being fed to the masses, particularly regarding "safety testing."

Just three more hours of being allowed to wear white left.

@BigDawg869789 I don't know. Closest to COD multiplayer I played with GoldenEye 007 for the Wii and I don't think those servers are active anymore.
