so I don’t have to connect to it.

I actually thought of this before and besides making sure to maintain crossposting, I think for just image URLs it’s kind of draining of resources (however small but built up over time…) without any “reward” (engagement) with the actual post on their instance

!conservative@lemmy.world

Fucking loved creepy crawlers lmao

I actually bought it off eBay for my kids, but man the Goop is now getting pricey lol

Because it’s part of my .ml cross-posting, I could but doing so would break the crosspost, which some people don’t like already when it happens accidentally

I can edit it if you want me to and break crossposts here going forward

But…what if I like my toast a little soft :c

There can still be a huge bubble to pop and still have it be just as transformative as the author thinks it will be

The Internet itself is a prime example, it similarly was massively over-hyped for the time. The bubble grew and popped and while billions of monies were lost and a lot of companies went under, ultimately it did little to stop or even slow the transformative-ness of it (for better or for worse). In the end, it didn’t even slowdown online shopping.

But I think he was also exaggerating to a point, because like you said he’s personally invested even if he’s not “laying the foundation”. But, how much is he off? A couple years? 5 or 10? That’s still not a lot of time to lay preparations with properly functioning governments and considering the current state of affairs as it is…

This is why I don’t trust “privacy” [company] if they do any sort of ads. Especiall-

Authoritarians

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

It’s matrix actually, but it’s been brought up before, some of the more prominent tankies all have a collab document that they copy/paste from

Hint: look at Dessalines modlog
