- Comment on Trump Forced To Cancel Rally After Biden Admin Denies Protection 1 month ago:
A senior Secret Service official briefed on the planning for the Wisconsin rally said **the agency was “never configured to provide such an elevated level of protection for an increasing number of protected.” **The official was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
“Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo,” the official said. “This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.”
Seems like a reasonable justification based on check notes literally everything happening right now.
Weird how OP’s article misses out on this key piece of information. Might be a bit of bias there 🤔.
Now is probably the best time to try Counterfeiting US bills.

- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
“We can share books if you pay me to maintain the book sharing system via a non optional tax.” Universally loved system.
“We can share tools if you pay me to maintain those tools via a non optional tax.” A niche program most libraries have.
“We can share tools if you pay me to maintain those tools via an subscription where I have a profit incentive.” Literally 1984 and late stage capitalism.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
Rental washing machine? Bad, because I always need this. Rental baby clothes? Good, because it is a temporary need. Rental tools? Good, because it is a temporary need. Rental dinnerware? Good? I can see a few cases where this becomes useful. Rental Photoshop? Bad especially if you use it professionally and the terms of the contract are subjective to change.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
Tf are both you talking about. The article talks about Tool Libraries and The Library of Thing at length. It name drops a few subscription services for reused baby clothes and kids toys but those are still temporary items people need.
Rent-a-centers core business model consists of predatory loans for household appliances that you need continuously. This article talks about rentals for things you only need for a short period of time.

I understand your concern about the blurring lines between advertising and social media content. Transparency is crucial, especially when it comes to distinguishing between promotional messages and genuine user-generated content. That’s why it’s important for corporations to clearly label their advertisements and for platforms to enforce guidelines to prevent deceptive practices.

- Comment on Could the US Government Self-Host a Fediverse Server? 7 months ago:
5 years ago the courts ruled that Trump could not block Twitter users on first amendment grounds. This same ruling could be used as a foundation to force a future government Fediverse server to federate with any other server and host all their unmoderated comments.
With Twitter, a user could still break the TOS and get banned. With a Fediverse server… Not so much. It’s as free as sending an email to the US government filled with nothing but 2mb of racial profanities.
