exactly. If elections ain’t doing the trick, Somalia is doing all of the tricks

I mean Somalia is right there, mate

it’s not like governments are trying to get there when it’s not an election season though

am i weird to read it as alien key?

except the national economies aren’t organized in a way to enable any form of UBI.

bicycle cars! best of both worlds… oh wait///

i’m yet to encounter them en masse and they’re not lurking anywhere around me so that’s already something. on reddit - smorgasbord bizarre was basically under siege at times

i just tell everyone “if Lemmy from Motorhead was a forum” and it makes way better impression that “reddit is what happens if metafilter was the shits”

i quit cold turkey because reddit nuked my account and it’s been four months since i last peeked into that wretched place and no love lost i guess. reddit been progressively more bad for me ever since 2022 russian invasion and lots of mentally unstable harrassing me because “fuck ukraine you nazi” wasn’t what i was looking for on the platform. just so many aggressive tankies.

the last thing i did on reddit was digging through yet another wave of bots reporting every post on my subreddit as violence or threats and then the next day - bam you’re banned for 7 days, no 30 days, no permabanned no appeal fuck you.

same shit. can’t say i’m sad though, it was a rubbish place for a long time.

bummer… not. Microslop crusade against FOSS backfires more and more. i think these guys should fight it even harder.

Whoever thought streaming is a sustainable long term platform got it wrong but made a lot of money convincing everyone otherwise.

oh well…

i don’t know what to say because that’s fucking stupid.

this reminds me of that Bogdanoff twins meme

that’s not how it works though.

this picture doesn’t address the fact that a lot of people work to enable subsistence and in this economy it is becoming very common.
