This is what I was referring to in regards to a signup: https://mastodon.social/auth/sign_up

By the way I would hardly characterise myself as being 'on a tilt' in my post, I simply stated that mastodon was x.com but for the other side. Perhaps you are on a tilt and anyone level-headed appears as tilted?

I started an X account recently and the posts they put into my feed were the most intensely negative tweets and imagery I've ever seen interspersed with sports shit I also could not block. It didn't matter how many times I tried to block a certain kind of content another account posting the exact same thing would be in the feed. I didn't want to see basketball, Hitlerism, political tweets or Gaza gore yet that is all I was shown. I deactivated my account and checked out mastodon instead and the signup screen for that was blatantly censorious and would be like using twitter with annoying leftists instead. Where the hell do normal people hang out online to have a chat?

Imagining the kind of stuff swirling around the average twitter/mastodon users head is unreal. There must be radicalism beyond measure just beneath the surface ready to blow for every sort of group all across the world.

Pretty interesting. Russia has a virtual 'open borders policy' with the central asian states recently.

Seems more 'Moses-like' than 'Christ-like' to me.

Damn.. That guy in the linked images "anonymous giraffe" is 5'2 student with no job and no money. The image right before that is an Indian guy literally paying people $20 to be introduced to girls.

I would consider treadmills known to exist as early as 4000BC as an early step towards bicycles. Commonly used for grinding wheat or moving water - possibly even cranes. There both gearing and leg power interact - just gotta apply the force to a set of four wheels and you're halfway there.

Any word from the 'Blackcat' group that said they would leak sensitive info at the IPO? They exfiltrated like 80gb of data a year or so ago.

Perhaps they shouldn't use esoteric abbreviations. YAADH.

What is YMMV?

There are a lot of seething and butthurt replies to you for some reason. Imagine the above but in regards to any other piece of technology.

"I use calculators in all my calculations now, and I'm really transparent about it. For $20, I now have a pocket calculator, and can at any time whip it out and calculate a long, difficult problem - and get a correct calculation based on my inputs just a few seconds later. Is there a single reason not to use it?"

Are the concerns in the other replies consistent with their own outsourcing of willpower & mental effort to technology?

Would be nice if he credited Rudolf Steiner, as that is clearly who he has taken the concept of the threefold social order from.

I came here to post something similar. Look at the engraved art on the tantalum plate... It looks like mass produced etsy trash to be hung on the wall of an idiots home - like a sign saying LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE.
