Have to pay extra now to pump septic waste straight into other rooms.

I like this idea! Would be cool if you coordinate the fake data to make imaginative fake profiles. One day I appear to be a Wagner mercenary, another day having deep conversations with Mo Rocca in a museum.

For an outsider, what is this?

This is such a nice app, better than reddit app from day 1.

Regardless of the law, never expect that you have full control over the microphone/video camera in your pocket or purse.

Ape Historian is amazing!

The wealthiest 1% could disappear tomorrow and the world would keep going, probably improve drastically. But if all the rail workers disappeared we'd be fucked.

As another commenter mentioned, the government (the state) is not a person and cannot care.

Government and the state are tools. The thing about some tools is that they are really only useful towards certain ends. The state is fundamentally a tool of maintaining and expanding power. While it's possible for those with power to do some good things, their overall effect is to allow the domination of most by the few.

Government requires a state to function, a state as in a subset of the population claiming exclusive acceptable use of force in a given area.

The explosion of dollar stores in the U.S. is like a boot that keeps pushing stomping on poor people to ensure they have to way out and this theory perfectly describes the situation.

The way forward is not to replace dollar stores with Targets, it's to move beyond capitalism and it's base of exploitation and move toward a base of cooperation.

Some ideas:

• Make and grow stuff (food, weed, soaps, furniture, etc. and give it away, consume stuff your neighbors make and grow. Everything you avoid buying is power you don't give to the capitalists.
• If you have money, help those that don't to buy quality boots (without seeking to profit, such as from a loan)
• Fix things, value things not for being brand new, but for working and having history.
• Buy used (tho if you have money, take care not to buy up all the nice things at thrift shops leaving the scraps for those who the thrift shops are their only choice)
• Become reslilient at the community level - start out by making friends

I'd add hypochlorous acid. Easy and cheap to make with everyday stuff, great sanitizer, deodorizer, and household cleaner. I've been using it for about 3 years now for everything from cleaning pet bowls to cleaning my face, to mopping my floor, to cleaning counters and sinks. I call it magic water at home.

I was looking exactly for this last week, didn't find it.

The stupid is astounding.

Excellent, I like their plan, this gives me confidence going forward.

Nice! I installed Blur my shell and One Thing. One thing is perfect, I've been doing this with paper lol.

Think about using AI output as inspiration, examples, getting over writers block, etc, and less about using it to cut and paste it's output wholesale as completed work.

I'm a programmer, ChatGPT is incredibly useful to me now. I use it like a search engine that is able to pull up the perfect example I can use to get me over hurdles. Even when it's wrong it's still useful like having a human tutor, that can also be wrong.

Ultimately, I think this type of AI will have a similar effect as Google.

That looks impossible!

Is it April already?
