Happened to me once outside San Angelo. Noticed the car behind turn their headlights off for a second, then they flipped their red and blues on. I was pulled over because my license plate lights were out, but I’m pretty sure they just wanted to see who was driving the shitty car with out of state plates through their town. No ticket, no warning, didn’t ask to search the car, just annoyingly nosey.

I’ve read that one, it was quite good.

This is an interesting idea. If neither biologies used the same fuel molecules then they wouldn’t compete for resources, but perhaps they would compete for space? But then if both biologies were that different from each other would they be able to even live in the same environment?

Perhaps this is the first step towards a new START treaty that includes the countries you mentioned? I doubt that’s Trump’s intentions but that outcome seems probable if everyone starts testing.

This whole privacy thing is based solely on belief? There’s no practical reason for it unless you’re on a state actor’s list or something?

Inspire me

Here’s my personal answer to that question. I care about privacy. However, maintaining it has become a never ending process that gets more complicated as time goes on. Plus there’s always more one could do. I’m not going to stop using payment cards, I’m not going to get a prepaid phone running graphene, I’m not going to whatever comes next.

I’m starting to think that my personal cost/benefit analysis is leaning towards not caring about privacy. What have I gotten out of trying to maintain privacy? Inconvenience and expense. What have I gained from letting the creepy corpo overlords watch me? A decent map app, autocorrect, 3% cash back at restaurants and groceries, facebook marketplace. It really seems like I get services and discounts for giving up my privacy.

I even signed up for that fucking global entry program so I can have TSA precheck and get through customs fast. I hate that. It feels so wrong but I’m growing increasingly sure it doesn’t matter. I’m not special, the government won’t care about me now or in the future, and the benefits of not caring outweigh the gains of trying to hide.

This is a terrible point of view, I know, but I just don’t care anymore. I like the idea of privacy, but I’m finding the practicality to be too difficult.

Is this what a modern jesus would do?

Sounds like we won’t be testing anything since no one else is testing.

Thanks, I needed that

Omg you’re not arguing in good faith, wasted so much of my time…

The vote ratio on my comments contradict the vote ratio on the post.

You’re assuming preferences of strangers, not cool.

No one is stopping them

You are stopping them. You’re telling new users to avoid that community, which is probably stopping many. Most people when visiting a new city would listen to someone who suggests avoiding a particular area.

You’re worried about .ml scaring off fediverse users? The fediverse is a big place, with .world being the biggest. If they don’t like .ml then they’ll find .world. If you’re right about .ml then let people find it, promote it even, and they’ll bounce to .world if .ml is too mean.

Y’all making memes about nsfw subs? No, you’re not.

It is censorship.

Why would I warn my friend? I know their preferences. Why wouldn’t I warn the masses? I don’t know or care about their preferences. Maybe they’d like .ml, who knows, let them find out on their own.

I just don’t follow the logic. Let people waunder in to .ml and find out for themselves. Right now it just looks like the libs of .world are trying to censor .ml. What is .world so afraid of? Lemmygrad? That place is hilarious.

Telling my friend, someone I know, is one thing. Buying a billboard is another

.world is much louder than .ml

This right here is why you don’t have a romantic partner

That’s good of them. Why didn’t you ban and block the offenders?

So you somehow convinced enough mods in a famously defensive community to become a moderator yourself, then you told them you you’re letting in right-wing viewpoints? Or did they make you a mod after you said you wouldn’t censor?

It does seem that way. I think you’re right
