Some people will do anything to continue to fit in with their group. I don’t think it’s always even a conscious choice.

Many people are just as stupid as him.

Our society prioritizes trash like nft startups instead of education

They don’t care. They don’t care about making sense or being internally consistent.

They care about their in-group being on top, and everyone else subjugated or dead. That’s it. Conservatives are bad people.

I want to say that everyone hates that kind of purple job prose, but I suspect there’s some small minority of people who actually think and talk like that.

I kind of want to build a LinkedIn but you’re only allowed to talk like a real person. If you post slop or whatever that kind of shit is, you’re banned and we all pledge not to work with you.

I use nano for quick edits. I don’t know more than the basics of vim, and don’t do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven’t needed to.

The parents sued, calling it a “secret gender transition plan” and arguing the school violated their constitutional rights by withholding information about their child’s gender identity.

Yeah that’s a really broad statement. You just need one case where democracy is not preferred, and the whole statement is false. Democracy is not preferred when the majority wants to do evils.

I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)

Most developers I’ve looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.

I often would skim the script in the browser, but a. This post shows that’s not fool proof and b. a sufficiently sophisticated malicious script would fool a casual read
