Law enforcement hasn't been enforcing minor things as much recently, at least in my area. Speeding is way up too.

@jospanner
Thank you for trying to support conversation. I am not a social justice person, but try to discuss this stuff with lots of people to try and understand their perspective and mentality.
It is really shocking how many people consider a display of a different viewpoint as an affront. I am regularly blocked or insulted.
We may think differently and that may never change, but discussion helps us all see the humanity in one another. That helps avoid conflict in the log run.

And luck. If you get cancer or were unlucky enough to be born in subsaharan Africa, your capacity to build wealth will be limited.
The only way to have a chance to win the game is to try though. Most people don't.

@freemo
I agree. It was very bad choice of language on my part, and I appreciate it being pointed out to me.

Yes! It's called a progressive web app, and will be big when it's accepted by Apple.

@darulharb
Probably just an autocorrect of antifa (hopefully)

@anornymorse
This makes two for Husky! I'll definitely give it a go then. Thanks!

@libcompclub
If it's not profitable then I'll release it, lol. Otherwise I'll milk it for all it's worth. The simulations were very promising...
Finance is a zero-sum game unfortunately, so open sourcing new strategies would quickly render those strategies unprofitable.

@khird
I noticed that! I've had to charge my phone halfway through the day since using it.

What Mastodon client(s) do you all use? I use Fedilab and it works well, but I always like trying different things.

@policeinchains@mas.to
"You can't tell that a human is a human"? Seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

@libcompclub
I made an ethereum price prediction bot. Simulations show good results, I'm just waiting for a funds transfer to test it with real cash

@Prodigal
Double kudos to you then! That sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through.

@Prodigal
Honestly, any of those would work great. Congrats on flexing your constitutional rights!
Personally, I like using a handgun with a physical safety. Makes me feel more confident that I won't cause an accidental discharge if I keep a round chambered. Idk if any of those three have one.

Millions of people have more than one preexisting condition. I myself have hypertension, which makes me predisposed to severe symptoms of COVID.

@dave
That's not a productive way to start a conversation.

Some small streams let you, but once you get big enough, you become a target for trolls.

@NeikoCat
I had a scar on my hand that I thought would never go away. I was resigned to having it.
10 years later, and it's only noticable if I'm looking for it.
Scar tissue can take a long time to get better, but it does get better.

@AtlasFreeman
To be fair, there is a difference between child rape and adult rape in many peoples minds... Both are fucked up though, of course.

@Ricotta
This was inevitable with the way things are. A global pandemic, economic collapse, extreme political polarization, massive regional variations in culture, a failing political system... I'm just surprised it's taken this long.
