Socialist Mormon Satanist. Socialist Workers Party Kopimist. Debt-free. Alcohol-free. Drug-free. Caffeine-free. Work-free. Over 45,000 downvotes hurled at me for refusing to kneel and vote for the capitalist Duopoly. This is one of my own instances! I won't be stopped. I won't be silenced. :)
Hi, friend!
Hey I hope you're ok over there. I know ya tried to falsely accuse some other account of actually being an alt name of mine. And the mod told you to calm down and stop falsely accusing users of stuff.
Looks like your suggestions didn't really go over well. And I saw plenty of people kinda getting onto you in the comments.
I'm curious. Do you think of me so much that anytime you see some opinion you disagree with, that ya think it must be an alt name of mine? That fascinates me. Can you explain this some more?
Sheesh. That must be crazy. Thinking I'm everywhere. Alas, it's just little ole me here under the only name I have. Mindin' my own business. Never looking to stir up any trouble.
Oh well...
Thanks, friend! :)
Nah, if they were really MAGA's they could just set up a MAGA instance. You guys see MAGA anytime you see something you don't like. lmao
People can be assholes without being MAGA. I see plenty of that here on Lemmy!
Yay! You actually blocked me rather than call for a ban--which most others do!
I appreciate that. And I totally support you blocking me. Thanks, friend!
U.S. employers added just 143,000 jobs last month, but the jobless rate fell to 4% to start 2025. The first monthly jobs report of Donald Trump’s second presidency suggested he’s inherited a solid but unspectacular U.S. labor market.

Right?! Actually I think she prefers moaning, asking me to hold her hand, and apologize for everything she's done in life. Before. Every. Flight. lmao
Two, he won with a narrow majority
He wouldn't have won if Democrats would have done their jobs.
Also, maybe you can give examples of how he has improved anyone’s life so far?
He's following through on many things he said he'd follow through on. It's what the people who voted for him wanted him to do.
I realize that YOU didn't want that. But brah, you lost the election. Get over it. Maybe (probably) you'll win the next one.
Thanks, friend!
Well more of them voted for him, than Harris. Oh well...
Seems to me he has done a lot of useful stuff. The people who voted for him seem happy with him. Welcome to democracy. What you want, isn't always what the majority wants.
Well if no one uses them, then there shouldn't be any outrage about what Trump is doing, right? And there never should have been any thing about straws under Biden in the first place, right?
Ya know, you don't have to actually read it, right?
If you don't like them, then don't read them. It's really that simple.
Ya just gotta accept and move on.
Even when people seemingly gang up on you for no reason.
If ya fucked up, move on. If you didn't fuck up (even tho people try to say you did), stand up and stand by what you did.
:)
I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow night. lol
Same age group as Lemmy, so...
Yeah, sucks.
I'm flying to Vegas this weekend! Let's see how it goes!
GF actually already has a slight fear of flying, so this should be an adventure trying to calm her down. lol
Maybe so, but the are on it. So...
Not sure.
New work offers insight into how early life adapted from a low-oxygen atmosphere to the one that exists today.

I don't know. I'd def hate to be the only woman on that team though!
Our government cold use a good dismantling. So I'm all for it!
I agree!
I approach all bitcoin purchase with tme mindset of: "Is this blow money? Can I just throw this money away and be ok with it?"
That way if i lost it all, fine. If I profit, cool! It's literally just gambling in vegas to me. And I just got back from vegas, so I'm very familiar with the minset!
You could also just be a very consistent and oddly provocative human.
Oh, I like that term describing me. I may update my profile with that. Thank you! I'm not even being snarky, I honestly like that description of me.
I am very consistent and oddly provocative! I just told my gf that, and she agreed! lmao
But you have interacted with me before, so you know I'm human. So seems weird that you would suddenly go the "spambot" route.
Meh, I don't write the articles. They come from very public and very popular websites. So I guess not everyone thinks it's garbage. But you are totally free to think that.
But I don't think it counts as "spam" just because you think it's garbage.
Thanks, friend!
El Salvador Walks Back Its Bitcoin Law
But it's also investing more in the cryptocurrency.

Everyone wants to buy the dip… until the dip actually comes.
Warren Buffett said, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”.
Baron Rothschild, an 18th-century British nobleman and member of the Rothschild banking family, is credited with saying that "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."
I'm just happy people consider bitcoin above 90k a "dip"
Seriously, I held through from ATH's in 2021, through 2022 when it was all the way down to 16k, then the slow and arduous journey back to 60k, and all the way beyond 100k.
Basically, I'm just happy its above freaking 40k! So to have people freaking out about 90... I'm feeling just fine.
Now if it went down to 16k again I might feel a little frustrated, but still- I'm happy as a clam right now.
Which languages do you speak?
I am a native English speaker and recently started learning Esperanto a few weeks ago. I was inspired by a TED Talk that explained how Esperanto is an excellent first choice for those interested in acquiring multiple languages.
Due to its relative simplicity, learning Esperanto effectively prepares your brain for learning additional languages, making the process quicker and smoother.
So how many here speak different languages and what are they?
How many fiction books do you all read?
I'm putting in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my living room today. I mostly read e-books on my Kindle, but I have an affection for old paperback pulp books from 60's and 70's.
So I go to ebay and buy "lots" of them fairly cheap, not caring about the titles. Sometimes 10 books at a time. Now that I'm retired I plan to read every single one, even the bad ones. I have the equivalent of a small home library of them now.
How many fiction books do you all read? E-book or paperback. But not interesting in audiobooks. I'm curious about physically-read books.

If you had more free time without any additional income, what would you do?
I'm retired so I fill my days doing whatever I want. But I'm always interested in what other people would do if they had more free time.
China raced ahead building renewable energy last year, installing more wind and solar power than ever before and continuing to leave all other countries in the dust.
