Are We In A Recession Yet?

x0x7 · 2023-02-05T06:20:20+00:00

Forget their definition. Is your life less comfortable? While that may not be the technical definition of a recession, if it isn't the definition, then does being in a recession or not even matter? Recession is just a proxy measurement for how likely it is that people's lives are worse off than normal. It the only reason what that measurement has any purpose. Well we can measure that directly. Everyone says that they are more stressed out, more over worked, more priced out of the things they want to do, and having to make more compromises than they were before. To the degree that recession can also be a measure of job loss we can measure that directly too. Major companies are engaging in mass layoffs.

If we currently have all the negative consequences of a recession does the original question matter?

"In other words you can't mention the pee tape."

They know that isn't real right. On twitter or facebook I would get banned for disinfromation that was objectively true. I know a lot of saidit is more left than a lot of the other forums I go onto but everyone here has to admit that a good portion of the left is basically weaponized stupidity paired strangely with smugness. That is what 80% of the current left is.

And then their NSA agent clapped.

But it's true that pornography has as much to do with shock as it does with sexuality. Don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you are attracted to the very thing you find morbidly disturbing to the point of curiosity. You deserve to know that the relationship between humans and pornography is more complicated than just attraction.

Like how many people actually think anal sex is alluring? It's intentionally disgusting. That's the point. That's the actual point of that style of pornography, and a lot of others with it.

x0x7 · 2023-01-24T16:33:40+00:00

Monero. If you run a shop in Canada start accepting it. It's instant, low fee, anonymous. You may help facilitate the needs of someone who is targeted by the government or banks over their political views.

If you have any influence on a business that accepts money, encourage that and similar options as a way to broaden customer base.

I don't think people like Richard Stallman that much but his advantage is we all know who he is and what he stands for. If Richard Stallman was backing a meta-verse stack I'd trust that.

Then those kids are going to see tits. Probably going to happen if they are on the internet in general.

If you let your kids on a site that officially doesn't support them, fine, but you can't complain they saw content that was put up assuming they weren't present.

x0x7 · 2023-01-21T14:18:55+00:00

No u.

x0x7 · 2023-01-19T18:15:51+00:00

When facebook first started it was never intended for children to be on it. In any case we should be doing that, irrespective of the new policy.

x0x7 · 2023-01-19T17:51:20+00:00

One step closer to unbaning it entirely. Luckily since I don't visit those sites I won't be around for the awkward tranny tits period.

Whether the vulnerability can be patched or not I don't know, but I know it exists. I2P seems to be the direction everyone is going. The very recent uptick in I2P migration is from people who are aware of the current thing.

One flaw of I2P is that it doesn't have a bundle (they just created one I know.. for windows.. but that's just stupid). The tor browser bundle was necessary for a reason, and so fingerprinting on I2P should be easier without that.

I don't know what's compromised. I just know that it is and I'm not the only one who knows. But it seems no one on the clear net knows. Like I said, huge migration to I2P right now because of those who do know. Every hidden service is migrating over unless they are idiots. I2P fool proof? Who knows, but TOR certainly isn't right now. So for site operators and users by extension it's migrate to I2P, quit entirely, or actively choose to be an idiot. There's a mix of all three going on right now.

It is possible for someone to meet Rand Paul. Many people have. If people are meeting Rand Paul he's fielding questions and generally talking to people. What questions would you ask Rand Paul given an opportunity besides Fauci questions?

x0x7 · 2023-01-13T16:14:35+00:00

You aren't going to believe me but I happened to talk to Rand Paul about a week ago (got an invite to an event in his office). Garland came up when I asked him about some Fauci stuff and he said we really couldn't do anything with criminal charges against Fauci as long as he's in charge. I'd think Rand Paul would have the insider understanding of who these people are, so I'm assuming people Garland don't want to go to jail are protected. Hmm.

x0x7 · 2023-01-12T15:34:10+00:00

Interesting that it's 20 to 200 times the population. We don't know the baseline by a factor of ten?

x0x7 · 2023-01-12T12:47:25+00:00

And he should set up a special council for Fauci Lying to Congress and for gain of function. I don't care if the gain of function occurred outside American soil. If it were done on American soil he wouldn't be performing it him self but would be directing it. He was able to perform his element of a criminal act just fine with or without it being on American soil.

x0x7 · 2023-01-12T12:37:18+00:00

That's a good idea. Concentrate them in one spot.

x0x7 · 2023-01-12T12:34:58+00:00

TOR is compromised FYI. That's not a general statement. I mean very recently it became 100% compromised. Only a few people know.

I think pretty much all conflict can be resolved through peaceful succession. If political violence were not the norm in these types of situations you could simply survey everyone, have them include their address, geographically map the distribution of preferences, split the country. No one has to die. No one has to get arrested. No one has to face a coup. No one has to iive under a tyrant they don't agree with.

But people hate peace I've determined. They want this to come to a head. Why? Because the people who matter, and the people who make decisions are mad dogs who love violence and love power and are rarely not insulated from the actual violence themselves, on both sides.

x0x7 · 2023-01-11T03:09:03+00:00

True it's palletized. They said the one would be able to tell what kind of compression images went through, and would think it was the most relevant thing to bring up in conversation. Have we found him?

I realized that the suggestion algorithm is the real product. Youtube has an advantage of having more content than everyone, but I realized I don't have to worry about dmca if it's just embeds. I still host videos for anyone who wants to upload, but I've come to a programming philosophy that light = scale. It results in the same experience for the user.

Over time I've evolved to this after deciding I want to have more than one media type and let users embed iframes as one media type (give the uploader all the options). After about a year of that feature being optional I realized it's actually preferable. Now in theory you can have all videos from all sites on one uncensored platform.

But the network issues I was having made me realize that if I had pursued that even earlier it would have been even better. Ultimately what's important is that you can upload the content you want and it won't be removed. If a strategy helps the site achieve scale at lower cost at the same time then we can be in a better position than all the other video hosts. In theory it also benefits them because there is a reason why sites like you to embed them (it helps with discovery of other video platforms as well).

I've realized that the key to success is to find a way to be 1000x lighter than you otherwise could be. Storing a single entry in a database is lighter by that many to storing a file. I'm happy to store files. It's my job as a video host. But having a light strategy available in parallel is a good thing.

x0x7 · 2023-01-04T03:33:44+00:00

Not a bad idea.

x0x7 · 2023-01-04T02:58:45+00:00

Haskell is a purely functional programming language. That means that functions are treated the same as other variables and you can pass them around as an additional way to solve problems. That would be a normal functional language. In a purely functional language using that type of problem solving is the only tool you can use. I've decided my nodejs skills are no good (market is way too saturated with it), and I saw the bullshit direction it was going, but instead of jumping ship I just chose to not learn the bullshit people were introducing. So that means my skills are out dated in a now bullshit language. So I was looking at which languages pay the most. If I have to learn a new language it might as well be the best one. Looks like that's Haskell, so I'm giving it a go. But it's very different from anything else I've seen before. I've always been good at the functional side of mixed paradigm languages, but this pure functional crap goes to far. ...but the money, so I might just persist with it.

Here's some sample code: https://gitlab.com/twittner/cql-io/-/blob/develop/src/api/Database/CQL/IO.hs

Yeah, makes no sense.

Why? They are seeing what they wanted to happen happen.

This just means the next phase is on, where we all begin to understand what just happened. They knew this stage was coming. They planned for it.

You are telling me that people smart enough to develop MRNA are not able to anticipate how people will react to people dying.

I have constitutional reasons to agree with that..ish. Punishment after conviction is our law. Our government is supposed to have its hands tied in doing anything that could be punishing until it has successfully completed a trial. This is one reason why speedy trials were intended.

Fusion is going to generate so much energy it makes me question their aversion to fission that much more. Like what are we going to do with that much energy when there seems to be no demand for fission.

It's like a guy who rides a moped to work and you try to convince him that a car makes sense and will make their life less of a struggle, but says "nah, my bike does the job." But they have this 40 year plan for buying a private jet.

If more energy actually has value, why don't you use the solution that is immediately available?

Actually.. All industrial power production comes with risk to human safety. When you look at the total number of deaths that have occurred in connection to petroleum industry vs nuclear per Kwh produced nuclear is way safer. Petroleum is a pretty safe industry, but the sheer volume of work needed to get relatively smaller amount of energy means mistakes happen. You can make a nearly infinite amount of energy with nuclear with very little effort that workers have the luxury of taking their time and still outperform petroleum workers in productivity, and when its all done you have enough man hours left that you could employ an army to do nothing but think about safety.

Ditch the US dollar now. Might as well quit work or reduce hours too. If they are paying you in USD none of it's going to have value if saved.

How about just child mutilators.

I'm not saying rape is harassing but a worse form. I'm saying they are different enough to be on completely different levels from each other. Similarly child grooming is actually nothing when compared to child mutilation. This is even possibly the worst form of mutilation. I could chop off a child's foot for them to grow into their adult life with disadvantages till their death but there is a chance they would live a fulfilling life and develop a strong psyche that enables them to enjoy existence through difficulty. But by inhibiting proper development of a child in a way that will infringe on proper cognitive and emotional development you really are engaging in the worst mutilation that robs them of sanity.

Participating in it in any form is participating in the mutilation. So there is no modifier of child-mutilation groomer where the word groomer distances them from the actual act. It's just gang mutilation.

x0x7 · 2022-12-19T09:55:17+00:00

Alright. I'm going to be hated. Calling this grooming fails to describe it as evil enough.

Grooming is basically encouraging a child to develop a comfortable attitude toward performing a sexual act. Pretty bad.

This is mutilating a child. They are different things and on entirely different levels. This is like trying to stick it to rapists by calling what they do harassment. I'd say that's a fair scale of difference. Harassment and rape are about equally distant as grooming and permanently mutilating a child.

This is why calling transgender shit grooming is stupid. It's approximately 20x worse.

I think a lot of suits payments are out of proportion from each other. I'm not saying $36 million wasn't owed, but I just saw a case where a guy settled for $180,000 for pretty much the most solid 4th amendment violation where cops just walked into a guy's home (through a window) without a warrant and not even suspicion. They were doing this to everyone. Just walking into practically every home.

And you say, but that was a settlement. They settled for that amount because pure 4th amendment cases rarely settle for more than $20,000. IDK, I think I have a more fundamental right to the 4th amendment than to not have someone bad mouth me. One is a fundamental violation of rights, the other is a kind of shitty thing that someone should pay for doing. If we want lawsuits to be that high in this country, sure, but defamation should definitely be flipped in scale with a lot of other things. Wrongful death suits don't go that high. Saying something inaccurate about someone is a bigger deal than killing them?

We want $36 million dollar defamation suits? Sure. But 4th amendment violations suits, tampering with evidence suits, first amendment retaliation cases, these should all be higher than that.

It already has. What is collapse besides a shittier life? Shittiness is a spectrum so where on it is it collapsed? Imagine it did collapse and one guy said to another, I think next week things are going to collapse in this country, and the other said hasn't though. Things are pretty shitty. And the first says, yeah, but shittier than this. That conversation could always be had no matter how bad things get.

We have rigged elections, our schools teach content shown to be harmful to children, our jobs don't keep up with inflation, we had over half the country on welfare for one bit, our government is taxing us and sending our money over seas, our government is on our social media and censoring and tracking people for wrong think, a whole bunch of people are going to freeze in Europe, we have a medical system incapable of understanding what qualifies something as safe, our president(?) is a fully senial geriatric. We have homeless camps like it's the fucking great depression. The number one cause of death is drug use.

We are collapsed. Stop talking about it future tense people. It's already happened.

He may be extremely fuzzy on the details but he is right that there are quite a few more things that are illegal than most people know. In the absence of real details he just made some up.

Probably the craziest real law is that sharing a password between a husband and wife is considered misuse of an electronic device. EFF covered it once. It's almost never enforced but crazy that they technically could hang that over people's heads.

Don't ban the app. If anything ban some of its spyware behavior.

In some ways though considering we have spy devices on us all the time we as a society can't afford to not use open source. It's a genuine security issue beyond just our own individual sense of privacy. If tiktok is banned what's to stop such spyware activity from being conducted out of some other app who's ties to the chinese is more shielded.

If the government doesn't want US government personnel to have tiktok on their phone and feel that securing their staff's phones is the same as securing the government then they should demand that their staff not be allowed to run any closed source software on a phone, because who knows what's actually running in. The requirement should be that they all run pine phones with hardened SELinux.

Aren't you excited to get economically raped by climate response and have nothing to show for it. The TSA is basically an analogy for what's coming. Fear mongering at every corner, bureaucracy, useless people you aren't allowed to argue with, lack of privacy.

Does it help that QAnon is basically antifa. QAnon is half antifa false flagging as Trump supporters and half really really stupid people. The whole point is to discredit and misdirect.

Remember when QAnon was all for doing nothing, not even campaigning, just trust the plan, but then after months of hand-sit-ism they participate with the feds in doing Jan 6. QAnon is 100% embedded opposition.

It almost seems no matter where you look if you dig hard enough everyone is apparently a statutory rapist.

In any case anyone who is QAnon is either a Fed, Antifa, or an idiot and not worth wasting time on.
