Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

There aren’t any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn’t much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it’s such a massive world religion.

If *anyone were really worried about the nuclear family and abortion, they would make it so that a family could live on a single income again.

FTFY

That’s probably fair. There’s an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.

“EDumper” is a great name for a dump truck.

I wouldn’t trust it. We now live in an era where, if you want control of any kind of information, you simply can’t share it digitally in any way.

This is the absolute weirdest thing about Trump’s governance to me: how sometimes he ends up doing good things for terrible reasons, like when the US redeployed from Syria.

Not if you’re a wage earner, sadly.

Agreed. Those fuckers are rich enough to treat workers fairly. Full stop.

I don’t know that a screenshot of twitter is proof of anything, especially after the proliferation of AI.

But, go read about the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even if I’m wrong in my opinion, you’ll learn some new things.

Yes.

The Pope has that power. Pretty much always has, but it was far more pronounced before universal literacy was a thing.

This is the shit we need to be thinking about when we read about a black person getting shot by a cop for stealing a loaf of bread, if you ask me.

Also that CEO has an eminently punchable face.

When I entered the work force in 2005, it was with a company that had never had a layoff in its thirty-year history.

Then, in 2009, they had their first layoff, and I learned later our CEO had taken an 80% pay raise that year.

Taxes aren’t theft. Literally firing people and taking their salaries is theft.

Just that the cheap ones suck. I got a two-pack from Walmart and the first one I used started falling apart in weeks.

I’d get one handmade off Etsy. They’re a little pricier, but the less expensive ones are garbage.
