Usually one in the morning. Once in a while another one if I get too sweaty or dirty.

psychothumbs ,

Yeah I thiiiink I can detect a difference when I’m listening for it, but zero chance I’d have picked up on the voices being different if I didn’t already know.

psychothumbs ,

It creates that “one big chatroom” vibe from old twitter, while Mastodon feels like a bunch of people microblogging next to each other

psychothumbs ,

Yeah all of these are in theory in this “microblogging” genre of apps.

So depressing when the bad guys win. iPhone keeps getting worse quality relative to competitors and keeps gaining market share… that thing with the blue and green bubbles should really be illegal.

If someone's pronouns are any/all, what should I use or how should I determine how to refer to you and what pronouns to use?

I want to be respectful but if they say they don’t care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to “they” because choosing a gender for them feels weird… am I wrong?

psychothumbs ,

Just go with whatever gender they more come off as to you so you don’t get confused.

Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...

psychothumbs ,

I pirate and I think doing so should be legal and accepted. It’s one thing to have a copyright for profitable uses of some content, a whole other much crazier thing to say copyright forbids sharing that content for free. File sharing should be thought of the same way as letting your friend borrow your book - just a normal and uncontroversial nice thing to do, that you shouldn’t avoid based on some concern it will lead to lower book sales.

Bring back physical keyboards!

This is was France needs Alsace and Lorraine so bad, otherwise his forehead would look absurd.

Good job EU, screw you Apple

The way you can tell is games with flawed but sympathetic depictions of socialism are made by socialists, while capitalists either don’t include any socialists or have them as generic villains.

I was just a kid, get off my back!

psychothumbs ,

Vaping isn’t bad for you, nor is nicotine really, so what’s the big deal?

psychothumbs OP ,

Ironically it would be so much easier to do that if they actually implemented the law they’re suing over, which demands they record the ID of everyone who uses the site.

psychothumbs OP ,

I think there’s a lot of vague support for keeping porn away from children that evaporates in the context of the actual issue at hand where porn sites are being mandated to collect and store the IDs of every visitor.

psychothumbs OP ,

Yeah I think that’s the proper route. Parents who want to restrict what their children see need to take responsibility for doing so and not try to make the government do it for them at the expense of everyone else’s privacy.

psychothumbs ,

High schoolers should all get free public transit access anyway.

psychothumbs OP ,

Yeah basically the traditional alignment is for people to vote farther left the poorer they are and farther right the richer they are. Dealignment is when that pattern gets a little scrambled as it has now, with the overwhelming support for the left by the highly educated and corresponding losses among the uneducated poor. As you say there are a lot of poor, so leftists are trying to come up with strategies to reverse that dealignment and win them back.

The OLIGARCH Act specifically establishes four tax brackets:

· 2% for all wealth between 1,000 and 10,000 times median household wealth;

· 4% for all wealth between 10,000 and 100,000 times median household wealth;

· 6% for all wealth between 100,000 and 1,000,000 times median household wealth;

· 8% for all wealth over 1,000,000 times median household wealth

For reference, current median household wealth is around $120k: dqydj.com/average-median-top-net-worth-percentile…

So a the current rate would be

· 2% for all wealth between $120 million and $1.2 billion

· 4% for all wealth between $1.2 billion and $12 billion

· 6% for all wealth between $12 billion and $120 billion

· 8% for all wealth over $120 billion

That top tax rate would apply to only two people, Bill Gates and Elon Musk, with a few more just barely below the $120 billion line: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_wealthiest_Americans_b…
