Ah, an American 2028 general strike.

That'll be why I've not heard about it. I wish them the best of luck, their country faces many issues that a general strike could begin to fix, here's hoping.

Won't they still have their fascist, self proclaimed dictator in power in 2028? He'll send his jackboots out to crush any such attempts at organising against his precious oligarchy.

Hopefully those participating are ready for a bloody struggle for their rights.

I've never even looked at it. Vine was pretty cool but then it died, Periscope was neat, but I dunno, something about Tiktok feels predatory, how addictive it is (from what I've seen of others using it).

Plus while they're all as bad as each other, I still trust China less than Microsoft with my stuff, so yeah. I'm just not interested in it and don't really see the appeal for myself. But I see why it's popular and it's not like, terrible, as a concept.

Yes, it's called a tram. It's how I get to the shops, city centre, etc.

They left retroreflective mirrors there when they visited, you shine a light at them and it bounces right back at you, and that's what we do with a laser at an Observatory, it's pretty cool! :-D

I consider that another piece of evidence, in a big pile of evidence, but I suppose crazy people can say we sent the mirrors up with a rocket on their own or whatever idk. Crazy people gonna crazy.

You know what's really crazy? Some people think the USA is real and not just a TV show and 300 million AI bots. Had anyone ever actually been there? No, of course not, it's all Hollywood movie magic! (Hollywood's a secret propaganda studio based out of Cuba, which is real obviously because we get rum from there)

Brexit is a great example of democracy in Britain. You vote for something and it doesn’t happen and everyone promises it will definitely happen in the following election and it never does. If there’s one thing I’m certain of is that reform will not end immigration to this country either.

They voted for Brexit, Brexit happened, and everything unfolded as expected. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

The end results were obvious going in, we all knew this would happen, and that it would continue to do ongoing damage to the country and it's people over the next century.

I'm not really sure what else the Leave voters expected, unless they were believing the nonsense propaganda being fed to them by the daily rags and Facebook 🤷‍♀️

How a person goes so far down the rabbit hole away from reality to believe what's essentially poorly thought out fascist propaganda, I'll never know, but it happened to a lot of people.

The vast majority of those people, being adults, are beyond our means of educating and helping - most simply plug their ears and don't want to listen. There's nothing we can do for them, sadly.

The best thing we can do now is educate our children in critical thought and with the same wide understanding of the workings of the world culturally, economically, historically, and with a dash of reality thrown in, that we ourselves were taught, and hope that one day after we're all dead perhaps a new generation will reverse the damage that some of our generation has wrought.

"The fediverse is for everyone"

Everyone? Are you sure? I can think of a lot of truly, deeply evil people we wouldn't want anywhere near anything we're involved in.

There's inclusivity and freedom of expression, and then there's groups of people that do things that are so evil and illegal and so on that I might get told off just for mentioning what those things are by name, so I won't.

But yeah, in principle I completely agree with you of course, that there shouldn't be barriers and limitations to who can interact with who and such, but in practical application we have to realise there are groups that absolutely should be ostracised for our own safety and to limit their growth and power over our society, sadly :-(

I don't know what feudposting is though, but I can take a guess. I've never taken part in any sort of beef between instances, I don't really notice what instance stuff comes from much at all, I just join communities that I think look cool and trust the mods and admins to handle what's appropriate and what's not. It's worked very well so far, touch wood! :-)

Is this the terrible facebook memes community now?

We don't suffer fascists easily here.

Who do you think you are kidding Mister Muskler?

You call that a smash? Stop sensationalising, come now.

A car gently tapped a thing during a turn and came to a stop.

Religious hospitals? What will they think of next!

At least in countries that charge patients money for their healthcare, these religious hospitals are free, right? Given how much money Christianity makes in donations, and given that their whole religion is all about helping others for nothing in return and without judgement, it would make sense they'd run free hospitals providing healthcare for all, no matter their situation ♥️

Hello fellow Boosters! :-D

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, 😅 I saved a comment I'd like to go back to the other day but don't recall exactly what it was (darn my poor ADHD memory), and so I wanted to scroll through my saved/favourited comments to find it.

When I go to the "Saved" tab it lets me scroll through saved posts, but I can't find any way to switch to scrolling through saved comments, so I'm not sure how I'd go about finding them?

Thanks!
