Yeah well, I guess y’all did good at keeping this an inside joke. After googling for 196, all I get is “We’re a shitposting subreddit with moderators that are actively hostile to bigots, bootlickers, and chuds.” Clears things up a lot.

I believe in activism for important causes, but even I think it would be best to stay right where you are because your departure would, imo, have little impact. If I were there, I suspect I’d stay quiet and try to focus on what I must do to bring about my next upgrade at McDs, somewhere else, or something I made on my own. I imagine at McDs it’s possible to get in a “zone” where you and the tasks become one or something like that. I worked at Wendy’s, but never achieved the “zone” because I wasn’t there long enough to see how the operation’s various pieces came together to make the whole thing work. Best to you.

Lemmy is not supported by any oligarch (afaik). Secondly, you can browse posts from other Lemmy instances! So… people from Red-it: You came around before to have a look; don’t you think it’s time you settled in? A lot has improved since you visited the Fediverse; if you subscribe to feeds from other instances, when you click on ‘Subscribed’ or ‘All’ at the top, you just might see a similar amount of content that you saw on Rddt.

What I’m really hoping is that this instance really turns into an eye-opener for music and theory that I’m not familiar with. After all, there are so many genius-like musicians around the world, in history, etc. Wouldn’t you like to learn about them?

When?

This is the basis for every sovereign citizen (aka “sovcits”); isn’t it? Doesn’t sovereign citizenry really only make sense if a sovcit goes “all the way”? I ask this because sovcits seem to partake in society’s services provided by the collective (like roads, traffic signals, police, firefighters, etc.) while complaining about state overreach when (1) they have to pay something like property tax or (2) when they have to deal with LE. I’m not saying you’re wrong to have a sovcit mentality, but doesn’t a sovcit have to stop using society’s services and put up a real defense when LE gets involved? I’m not recommending you do either; I’m just saying while the system is flawed, at least, Western “democracies” have one. The alternative seems to be (1) leaving the country or (2) fighting anybody who threatens your sovereignty.

PCMag seems to endorse it.

Tuta Mail is free for personal use, though you must accept a few limitations. The free edition lets you send and receive all the secure messages you want, and it includes a secure calendar. Searching encrypted email is limited—with the free edition, you can only search messages up to a month old. Paying 36 euros per year for a Revolutionary subscription ($38.65 as of this writing) removes that search limitation, lets you have multiple calendars, and adds features including filtering rules and 15 alias email addresses (more about those later). It also raises the storage for your messages from 1GB to 20GB.

end all the fighting

So, you’re saying there was no problem prior to Oct. 7.

Exactly! Nobody has to listen to OP and change plans because OP doesn’t approve! Like you, OP is free to NOT use the product!

Dolphins and rainbows? What kind of LSD has OP been taking? Yeah, America is a hypocrite, and its politicians are liars who selectively apply “justice”. American exceptionalism DOES indeed seem like a joke, and it is arguably far from the best Western or “democratic” country, but what country would OP say is the model we should all follow? OP, you obviously hate the USA. What country is the best in your opinion? I hate shit countries, but I sure as fuck would rather eat this shit over the shit I see in some countries.
