I think when I hit my number (so that passive income should maintain until my death), I’m not going to quit working, but begin salary-scale mutual aid / community building / charity efforts.

But, I also think it’s cool you are living as close to outside Capitalism as possible.

When submissively fearing, I constantly duplicate living issues.

When creating duplicates, I live in constant fear of submitting issues.

Hebephilia vs. pedophilia? That’s a defense I’ve seen before. Didn’t work for creepy Internet boyz. Let’s see if it works for the Republican party.

I think you may have taken me too seriously, but if so that’s a very dismissive response. I think your reply would be improved by describing at least one (nigh-universal, so it applies to “things” in general) force and saying why it exists.

“down” is “just” a name for the direction everything falls.

Why do things fall? What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?

While that may contribute to the slipperiness of ice in certain circumstances, we know that ice is still slippery even when the compressive force is unable to melt the ice, even a thin layer. For example, we’ve studied ice at temperatures and pressures where liquid water doesn’t form.

I don’t remember the details exactly, but in the (most common) crystalline arrangements of H20, at the surface/edge of ice the individual molecules don’t have all their crystalline “partners”, so they can still shift around to varying degrees, which makes ice slippery even when none of it can / does melt–all of the molecules are part of at least one crystal.

I found that systemd actually simplified all the things I was doing on sysvinit. BUT, I did hold out until Debian testing stopped supporting sysvinit, and I think waiting gave me a better experience.

With X11 -> Wayland, the main thing holding me back finding a tiling compositor that will work under Plasma and is packaged for Debian and the learning at least the basics. My XMonad configuration isn’t that special, but I’m really quite used to not having to re-arrange my own windows, and being able to move/resize/refocus all with the home row and modifier keys. So, I’m probably going to wait until Debian testing ships a Plasma that doesn’t support X11, and have to do some learning then.

Sometimes, I intentionally pronounce the ‘b’ in “subtle”, just to make it clear I’m not.

The merging of government and corporate power structures has more in common with fascism than with authoritarian communism or liberal libertarian socialism.

When two persons/groups choose to use the same label, it becomes harder for anyone external to differentiate them easily.

Calling the people that confuse the two as “irrational” and bigoted isn’t going to clarify anything, and will likely cause them to assume you are not allied with them.

Dismissing people who have concerns that those confusions might be used by bad actors is just gross naivete.

But, certainly, restricting the political power (or human rights) of a particular based on their chosen labels–even if those labels are confusing–when they espouse tolerant views and act in tolerant ways IS bigoted.

The closest analog I can some up with is “Catholic”. If you just use that label, I think I am justified in assuming you do not value bodily autonomy (particular of women), and are therefore not a tolerant member of society. I’d certainly welcome a “Catholic” that makes it clear they reject intolerant Catholic dogma, but the existence of tolerant "Catholic"s does make it easier for intolerant Catholics to acquire and use political power. Of course, “Muslim” and “Islam” don’t come with quite as formal an organization or consistent a dogma, so it’s even more confusing.

Might it just be better to grow ProPublica, 404media, or both instead of starting a new one?

Maybe it’s just the gourmand in me, but this is also my priority. It seems like we should be able to ensure no human goes hungry. Production isn’t an issue, it’s distribution/logistics.

I don’t wear my watch in the shower, but given my hair length, comparing intuitively to the length of time it takes to floss (which was timed), probably most times. Though, rarely I will do a quick shower and not shampoo (or condition) my hair.

It takes me 2 minutes to brush my teeth. Nearly 6 to floss.

I am not ashamed that it takes me 10 minutes to scrub, 5 minutes to shampoo, 5 minutes to condition, 5 minutes to face-shave, 10 minutes to rinse, and a few more minutes for using the artificial pumice stone.

I just do it “raw”, using an IP denylist built into my client KTorrent. No problems for a while. But, I mostly do different media than you. (I do TV.)

Restricting the political power (ability to run in, and win elections) of someone because they are Muslim is Islamophobic. So, I’d say this tweet is Islamophobic, since it seems to be advocating for that action.

I understand the fear of violence from people that justify their violence in religion, particularly (but not exclusively) Islam. But, we have to be very careful with restricting political power based on mere label-sharing.
