Seems like this is a lot of work to avoid using a poop knife?

Good, made a decision decades ago to have a vasectomy as there are way to many people in the world and misquoting Thoreau, what use a kid if no livable planet to raise them on ?

I always felt if the need to be a parent overwhelmed, I could adopt any number of abandoned kids.

I like kids but I’d fell way to guilty about having any. Not having them also let me retire at 35 and pursue my own interests, I’m now 58.

I’d suggest not, cats destroy and entire ecosystems, I’d suggest cat owners are self absorbed, entitled, narcicistic… or some combination.

Hell, there toxoplasmotic shit kills dolphins as it washes into the ocean.

Fuck my bf in the ass…

I’m at 0, no ones done anything agresious enough to warrant it yet. I dont think they ever could, annoying is another thing entirely though, I’d block for that.

I disagree with most people most of the time, I’m a stranger in a strange land

I dont use Reddit becase of it’s shitty commercial explotation. I was never on Twitter.

This is the internet, people who disagree with you are on it.

This is my partners favourite game.

Fair Email. I grabbed it from F Droid and paid direct though.

What instructions? All I get is “this is for paid members only”

Still so much 2FA via SMS where I am in Aus.

I’d prefer to move everything over to something like Signal but I neeed a phone # to register for that but how do u tell the bank my Signal ID is @hanrhan.666

Is there a how to for Linux?

If I can’t walk there, I don’t go.

Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.

Shelds remote can control the TV volume and its connected via HDMI and the Shiekd Pro remote switches both off and on. I use Kodi, Prime, Smart Tube Next and a couple local TV apps.

Not what u want but that’s where I am and it works well.

Be interested to see the responses

This is the most depressing thread I’ve read for some time.

It’s horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it’s good news. It’s like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?

Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’

And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”

You both use Signal, problem solved.

I’ve never even browed the local feed on the Masro server I’m on.

Just pick a non mainstream one that has been around for a bit ?

I use Fedilab, Megalodon and Rodent.

I’m 58, child free and have many such interaction multiple times.

Perhaps the other way around you don’t but other people with kids sometimes do.

This is a flase equivalence. The “terror” element is a distraction and a poor argument

It would be like Russia coming in and taking Donbas and saying “this is ours”, and the world being outraged if Ukrainians fight back and if Ukrainians are still fighting back in 50 years people saying Ukrainians are terrible people look at the terror with zero context and worse still for people to be arguing for Russia, what a skap in the face that would be.

Would people still be outraged at the “terrorism” being wrought by Ukrainians because Russia says its terrorism ? Surely Israel’s existence is a travesty, it does exist but obviously there is no dealing with this any other way until Israel stops. This never ends.

Israel just keeps taking more and more and being more and more provocative. What of Indonesia in West Papua? Or more recently Indonesia in Timor ?

This never ends, this is just another phase.

MAGA

Burn it.
