If taxes are theft then red lights are imprisonment.

I think maybe you also forgot that it’s important to say what you mean if you want to be understood.

How do you get from there to your theory that “most people” buying these drives will be consumer pirates and not enterprise customers. That’s where you lose everyone.

There’s a big difference between “most people” in your original comment and your shift to “I” in this reply. That’s what the other commenter is “on about”

Downvoting sounds like a task that’s ripe for automation with AI!

In the running community we say “you can’t outrun your fork”

statistically the probability of a fire goes up each time it is spun again.

I think you’re really overstating things here. I’ve lived all across the spectrum from dense urban to acerage rural and I think it’s a lot more feasible than you’re depicting to go for a walk around the block in a wide variety of living spaces.

Stay fit and maintain lean muscle mass. You don’t have to be a crazy fitness nutcase, just try to walk a few miles a day and do some kind of exercise to get your heart rate up 3 times a week or so. Try not to eat total crap, but honestly this matters a lot less than the first part. Be thankful that diminishing returns kick in really early here.

I’m in my mid-50s now. My friends and I are all getting old. Each year the chasm of difference in lifestyles between my fit friends and my unfit friends grows larger. At my age it’s starting to feel bleak and grim. The older you get the more your fitness is going to affect your quality of life and happiness. In your 60s it’s going to determine whether or not you are even mobile without assistance. Aging ain’t fun for anyone, but it’s fucking brutal and painful if you’re out of shape and/or overweight.

The older you are, the harder it is get in shape. But it doesn’t really get any harder to stay in shape once you’re there. Don’t put it off. If you don’t move you’re building towards a future where you can’t.

I was amazed at how little time it took me to develop this habit as an adult. Honestly, just commit to flossing every single day for like 2 weeks straight. It’s just 14 times you’re signing up for. Don’t skip a day.

By the end of the two weeks I bet you’ll feel gross if you skip it and be wondering why you haven’t been flossing your whole life.

Just this one habit change will save you tons of grief and thousands of dollars in dental work over your life. Your gum health affects your overall health in countless ways.

I like those little plastic floss pick things instead of bare floss. Lowers the hassle a lot.

This isn’t advertising, it’s tribute.

What’s a tortoise?

YouTube is a great experience with a paid subscription. It’s the streaming service I use the most and I find the monthly cost to be worth the content I watch there. It’s also an even more effective way to fight the disruptive influence advertising has on our online communities and helps fund the creators on the platform that I enjoy.

Everyone should make their own choices, I’m just highlighting one of those choices that works well for me.

You might not see it as clearly, but that’s our role in society as well

I spent a decade as a full time Tcl developer and even I don’t use fossil.

Profit is created from the output of productive labor. The amount of profit varies depending on the efficiency of the market and the company.

Companies are force multipliers for labor. The company’s profit comes from that force mulitplication, not by withholding profit from the worker who generated it.

Profit can only be made by exploiting labour. There can’t be any other way

This is a bad take and suffers from overly-simplistic thinking. Corporations are force multipliers for labor and the economic value of your labor is increased by joining forces with others.

Usenet was the golden age of Reddit for its time. Before the binary newsgroups drowned everything out and web 1.0 captured everyone’s attention.

In a way, it was a lot like Lemmy. Federated servers all inter-exchanged posts to a giant, global message board of newsgroups (roughly analogous to a subreddit or Lemmy community). Anyone could create a newsgroup and there were a lot of them.

When it was good, it fostered the same kind of genuine conversation that Reddit and Lemmy do when they’re at their best. It was full of memes, too, although that word didn’t exist then.
