Now this is a toot that I could tattoo onto my ass!

Docile means listless and malleable to commands, while obedient just means malleable to commands.
For example, a warrior could be obedient to those in his chain of command, but he definitely wouldn't be seen as docile.

The CIA was repeatedly been known to provide material support to governments and militias that serve the US interests, and we're entering a cold war with China. Immediately jumping on conspiracy theories like they're funding BLM is a but much IMO.

Citizens are exercising their constitutional right to purchase and bear arms. That should be seen as a good thing, regardless of political affiliation.

Gotta mute a lot of bots to use the federated timeline, that's kind of unfortunate. Or maybe there's a way to filter them? Hmm

@iankenway
Sorry, I think I may have been a bit too harsh in my first post. But your post minimizes the human cost of the economic shock. Yes, it will speed the transformation of our global economy, but at the same time, millions upon millions are unemployed right now, many without a safety net.

@judgedread
It took you a while to think of that one, weak man

@Greg
Oh! Osmand might not be overkill then. I think you can manually make tracks in it.

@Blackstarwritings
When you say institution, what do you mean? Domination and subjugation undoubtedly occurs within chimpanzee troops, so whether I agree with our or not really depends on what you mean by an institution and an institutional system.

@Blackstarwritings
Heirarchy exists in every other primate species. Chimpanzee troops have an alpha-male that monopolizes finite resources.
In fact, social hierarchy exists in every single social species.
I got my definition of anarchy straight from wikipedia. You may be thinking of communism.
Thank you for the levelheaded discussion BTW. Sometimes people don't like actually talking about this stuff.

One of them didn't come armed, they rode there on a skateboard.
Kyle Rittenhouse was armed too. The fact that someone is armed does not mean that they intend to do harm.
Empathy has weight in that it affects how I treat other people and affects violent tendencies. People without empathy are called sociopaths, and have issues with adapting to the world.
You are right in implying that too much empathy can cause mental health issues. It is important to find a balance.

@mrbungle
I think my other comment was too dismissive given your tone. I'm sorry.

@Blackstarwritings
Anarchy is the state of a society without a governing body. (Social) power is the capacity to influence the behavior of others. Government is merely the codification of social power and its flow to make power transitions stable and peaceful. Given that power hierarchies always naturally form in large groups of people, this means that anarchy as a social state is impossible to sustain for any significant amount of time.

@Greg
OSMand is what I use to track runs and stuff. Its like using a swiss army knife: kinda overkill and not perfect for the job, but it works.

@jimyiapanis@mastodon.xyz
Its a shitty situation. Having to pick between the better of two horrible candidates year after year, decade after decade, all while major political issues continue unaddressed... I can see why people would want to say "fuck it"

@dym
This isn't a basic "videogames bad" argument. If someone reads propaganda about how evil the world is and how funny it is to an hero, this while lauding and praising school shooters, it makes sense that a higher percentage of those readers would then go on to shoot up schools compared to the general population.
