sodium-ion is better than acid-lead in every use case (theoretically, when the tech reaches maturity), unlikely to beat lithium ion and others for the high-capacity/low weight type stuff but far as cheap/environmentally safe batteries goes sodium-ion should quickly dominate the field.

my worry is that as this non-federated stuff picks up steam…it’s only a matter of time till the “influencers” and stealth advos follow. they’re parasites that follow any sufficiently large gathering of humans

they really got us with Obama, ngl.

that was slick

there is one consolation atleast…consolidation makes this problem easier to fix, in theory

hell, even to this day in…1/3rd of US states there are literally zero requirements to become a judge, it’s just a popularity contest.

this already exists, it’s called the stock market. largest international casino ever conceived, learn the rules and it’s all the $ you could possibly want (scaling above the 1 million mark gets tricky, admittedly)

“stopping this is impossible, says only country where this regularly happens”

happens every time a social media platform gets popular, no real way around except strong/consistent moderation

obligatory SMAC is best comment

britbongs also chopped down all their trees and waged a worldwide war for spices they never used, they’re a silly people

been waiting for that pendulum to swing almost 50 years now…

i recall my spanish friend saying something like it wasnt really franco that was the problem, but all the aristocrats wanting to use him as their source of legitimacy

them being immortal would probably speed up their removal, if change can only happen through violence then your hand is forced

and how do we go about doing this, the best I got is…well…looking at who funds AIPAC and connecting the dots

cool, so…how do you get this messaging about UBI through the propaganda machine when something as basic as universal healthcare cant get through?

and again…how do you imagine your getting to that point in a country that can’t even agree people deserve access to healthcare at all, let alone affordable/quality healthcare…

the game is rigged, playing fair only puts you at a disadvantage…the number of people “faking” is rarely statistically significant.

most people play a fair game, it’s why they never get anywhere…

also…a complete (intentional) destruction of any sort of community via unaffordable housing (housing was more affordable during the great depression, than right now…), fostered social seperation/bubbles via algorithms, and backstabbing speculation drive that has infested every level of our economy and government to breed distrust, and of course nonexistent healthcare/job security for large sections of the population which increases stress (a known trigfer for underlying mental conditions)…

there is no constitution and never was, they said all men created equal while watching slaves pick their food

we dont even have universal healthcare or functional public transit, UBI is a pipedream…
