  Make it dad’s ex-wife to really get to him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold hits $3,500 for first time as US dollar sinks to three-year low⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Eventually, you’ll need a consistent currency.

  If a farmer needs to buy an axe but his crops are still growing, what does he use? His plow? Sheep? Daughter? He needs all of these things to keep his farm going.

  He needs credit but he doesn’t want the axe to cost a fortune in crops with interest. And the axe maker doesn’t want the risk of handing out axes if crops fail.

  What if there’s a way to store credit? Something durable, rare and easily divisible like gold is perfect. Farmer can trade crops for gold. Now, he has something he can trade over the winter and while crops grow in the summer.

  It doesn’t have to be gold but it should be rare or tightly controlled to avoid runaway inflation. Bartering doesn’t scale. You need a currency and gold works.

  They will definitely ask if you purchased anything. You can lie but if you get caught expect little to no leniency.

  Can you get away with it? Probably, for some stuff. Is it worth it? You’re rolling some dice, you decide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would the world look like if every worker got together and Unionized for a universale wage that helps everyone? Instead of one country trying to screw over another?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost impossible to tell or coordinate.

  What currency is the universal wage in? USD? EUR? CNY?

  Is it the same everywhere? Do you adjust for purchasing power? How?

  What you’re suggesting requires global cooperation on a scale that is inconceivable today. Nations would have to give up economic power in ways that no one would do today. You’d need a global government. We are nowhere near that and probably won’t ever be unless an extraterrestrial threat exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online trolls take over Hope Florida virtual board meeting with slurs, hate symbols, and adult images⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hope Florida is run by DeSantis’s wife has been involved in shady dealings.

  The meeting marked an attempt by the board to provide clarity as House Republicans probe a $10 million donation that Hope Florida, a charity and welfare program spearheaded by First Lady Casey DeSantis, received from a Medicaid settlement in October. Lawmakers are now investigating whether the foundation funneled those millions to political campaigns against the failed ballot referendum to legalize recreational marijuana.

  The foundation’s executive director, Erik Dellenback, announced his resignation a day after legislators grilled the foundation’s leaders about the donation funds during a House budget committee meeting.

  The Tampa Bay Times reported that Hope Florida split the $10 million evenly between Secure Florida’s Future and Save Our Society from Drugs — organizations that promptly poured a collective $8.5 million into Keep Florida Clean, a political action committee created to defeat Amendment 3 and run by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ then-chief of staff James Uthmeier.

  From the Tampa Bay Times article:

  Weeks after the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by the first lady, the Hope Florida Foundation sent $5 million apiece to two separate organizations that gave millions to a political committee waging an anti-marijuana campaign championed by the governor.

  This isn’t as forward thinking as you’d want it to be.

  For as much as they are abused, “IP laws” protect small and individual inventors, writers, composers, etc.

  With no patent, copyright or trademark protections the billionaires will own or bury everything.

  What is needed is to bring the laws back to their intended purpose.

  Pegg has already played Scotty, what, three times?

  He’s pitched Frost as Harry Mudd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing keeping TSLA’s stock price so high is the perception that it’s a tech company. They’d have to replace Elon with another tech CEO that can spew bullshit about tech advances being right around the corner. That probably will not save it as a car company.

  I’d rather see the company fail before Elon and other majority share holders can cash out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FL wants more child labor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Easier to manipulate, yes.

  The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FL wants more child labor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where can i find people who are looking for friends to talk about life, goals, achievements, failures, ideas, problems?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sus. Don’t trust random people on the internet.

  There’s an old internet adage from the early days: “Don’t trust you can’t punch in the face.”

  This isn’t paranoid. It’s basic safety. Talking about personal stuff to people you don’t know irl is inherently risky.

  If you’re in need of a confidant, find someone you know in real life who’s trust you can verify or a professional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think might be some fun, positive ways for instances to distinguish themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to see organization focused instances. Like a local government that runs an instance and moderates it. NGOs, clubs, sport leagues, etc. could do it.

  It might become a nightmare of overlapping content, hierarchies and responsibilities, though.

  *citation needed

  They don’t say where they get these numbers other than “two people” cited in a paywalled article.

  Apple One has over 1 billion subscribers. I’m sure they can afford a loss leader like that.

  The only way to know if this true is if Apple says so or they just stop producing content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the sock but some are designed to wick moisture away from the foot and evaporate on the outside.

  Turning them inside out is going keep the moisture close to the foot. This will cause problems—sores, smells, etc.

  Yeah, there’s no evidence that this is because of tariffs. Companies don’t make big moves like this after only a week of changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In Vermont, an ultralocal social network is as popular as Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  First things first, it’s a moderated mailing list with some ads

  This is what neighborhoods in my area do but without the ads. Around here there are distinct neighborhoods that have their own names but no official designation. People have, since before social media, set up mailing lists moderated by one of the residents.

  There’s occasional drama but mostly it’s people asking for tradespeople recommendations, curb alerts for furniture or photos of loose pets.

  NextDoor-type services have tried to establish a presence but have mostly been ignored.

  Maybe it’s the geography or the early adoption of e-mail lists but mailing lists work great around here.
