It’s still a problem. Never forget that today’s friend can be tomorrow’s enemy.

No government organization should ever be using foreign hosting, period, but using usa’s is an especially awful idea

Government funded news programs are generally a good thing IF they’re mostly their own entity and importantly as long as they don’t block other sources. I think bbc being funded is good

Anyone who thinks their party isn’t is likely not thinking straight. The scale probably depends on the party, but I think you can be reasonably sure they all do it

I’m so bad at flirting over text. I can do it irl somewhat once the first bit of convo gets jumpstarted but mannn dating apps kill me. I get far more people down to hang in person then ever from a dating app.
- Comment on dating 3 weeks ago:
Ok but like. Dating and flirting talk is different from normal talk. More giggly, more vibes. Some people can’t do that for shit

You’re not full adding one thing nor do you have a specific plan in mind.
- Comment on Self-Care 3 weeks ago:
You take things step by step. You don’t fix everything at once, but beginning and continuing a variety of initiatives against a variety of threats more easily allows you to scale up those efforts as threats grow closer. It’s a lot easier to do something if you cut it up. And early starting allows easier starts.
You think that just because something is further in the future that it should be disregarded, but in reality small, fairly low effort approaches started sooner will former a much stronger base in facing threats as opposed to pretending only the closest is a real one.

And this is just plain doomest, as well as wrong, for now.

When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.
- Comment on Self-Care 3 weeks ago:
So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.
The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage

Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.

Abolishing copyright exclusive and only works if you abolish money with it. Otherwise you’re only benefiting the largest corporations, despite what you think, it won’t be the small guy winning

- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 5 weeks ago:
When copyright dies so rich conglomerates can make money by monetizing out toys and collectibles and theme parks from smaller creators content without paying a dime back to them? Copyright is beneficial. Copyright is good. It needs reform, yes, but don’t mistake that with the concept being bad.

- Comment on America Has Become a Digital Narco-State - Paul Krugman 1 month ago:
That’s because Cannabis is not a substance with a strong chemical addiction. There has been a significant increase in cannabis usage. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/ss/ss6511a1.htm
Strictly, Cannabis isn’t really any worse than alcohol.
Heroin is far worse. Drugs are addictive, and when available legally it will encourage more people to try them.
- Comment on America Has Become a Digital Narco-State - Paul Krugman 1 month ago:
Freely available heroin is not a good thing. Drug addiction would get significantly worse. Decriminalize possession, criminalize distribution. That’s a more balanced approach
