Let this be a cautionary tale :acat_madness:

@Admin but my stance on user's politics has not changed. I can't police what people vote for outside of mastodon.se, and I shouldn't be expected to.

So all I'm giving the new mods are the guideline to follow the server rules. The rest is up to their discretion to determine how far removed the rule violations can be.

And if we can't reach these goals, I see no point in continuing to run this project.

This is my first blog post in both Swedish and English, just so everyone can fully understand me.

It details how Mastodon.se must move forward from this situation, and I need your help.

So this is the time to put up or shut up, those of you who like being here and want to keep this name around.

(As always comments in this thread are visible on the blog.)

I don’t know about you but #DavidIcke doesn’t seem quite as much the “conspiracy theorist” now to me This is from 1998, try to convince me he’s talking bollocks, I dare you

police, science 

Oh excellent, it turns out we can simply replace the police with cardboard cutouts:

@Aether @Elfie Guys can find motivation within, but it’s always gonna pale in comparison to true family. It just is, as much as people wanna run away from it. Freedom is cool and all, but it’s nothing compared to the joy of seeing your kids, your faithful wife happy to see you and drink in your presence too.

It comes with considerable costs, for sure….it’s just sad that so many families are so dysfunctional people think that the very best that lifestyle can offer is at BEST 60% of the actual happiness it can offer. It’s like gauging a car’s factory-fresh performance off a salvage-title hulk after 50 years of disuse and neglect.

Currently playing banjo-kazooie on mupen with the Yoshi controller my siblings gifted me.
The controller is great :) I can finally play n64 games without much issue (have trouble configuring goldeneye tho)

I have never finished this game when I was a kid.
@bonifartius @SpaceElf WITH A STEP UP CAPACITOR CIRCUIT YOU CAN TRICKLECHARGE YOUR PHONE (AND THEREFORE ALL SMALL ELECTRONICS) WITH ALL SORTS OF TEENY TINY TOY GENERATORS THAT PUT OUT TRACE MILLIVOLTS
AND ROBERT MURRAY SMITH HAS TONS AND TONS OF THESE TOY AIR TURBINE PROJECTS ON HIS CHANNEL, MADE OUT OF HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

YOUR STANDARD USABLE WINDMILL SIZE IS 1KW
PUTTING IT ON THE ROOF MEANS THAT WHEN THE WIND FUCKS IT UP, ITS GONNA GO RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF

THE CLASSIC CHOICE FOR STANDALONE MAST TURBINE IS THE OPENSOURCELOWTECH DESIGN

Look, I don't know what the alternative looks like, but maybe we should aim to have an educational system that doesn't result in millions of people having recurring nightmares about forgetting to study for an exam for the rest of their entire lives???

Seems like a bad outcome

All I'm saying is that if someone was like "I will teach you what cos, sin and tan are but you will have reoccurring nightmares about exams and classes every week for the rest of your life" I would say "no thanks"

@bonifartius @bonifartius
I would like to believe it's becoming ever more blatantly obvious that democracy itself is a failed system with no redeeming qualities akin communism

"By the people, for the people" except the 49% that completely disagrees with you?

IN THE NEAR FUTURE THE FIRST GENERATION OF MASS ADOPTED WIND TURBINES WILL REACH THE EMD OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE

END OF LIFE DISPOSAL COSTS WERE IGNORED TO MAKE THE THINGS MORE ATTRACTIVE, SO IT WILL BE A NEW EXPENSE TO COMPANIES OPERATING THEM
THEYLL WEIGH DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING COSTS AGAINST THEIR RUNNING COSTS AND DECLARE BANKRUPTCY
IT WILL BE A BIG MEDIA SCANDAL, THERE WILL BE GOVERNMENT BAILOUTS THERE WILL BE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BY RESIDENTS OF AREAS DOTTED WITH MASTS, LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES WILL BE SADDLED WITH TAKING CARE OF THEM, A LOT OF THEM WILL JUST BE LEFT FALLOW, COLLAPSING ONTO THE GROUND

OVER TIME SCRAPPERS AND CRACKHEADS WILL CUT UP AND SELL THE METAL PIECEMEAL, BUT THE GIANT CONCRETE TURD OF A FOUNDATION WILL BE LEFT IN PLACE FOR CENTURIES TO COME
I AM OZYMANDIAS, KING OF KINGS, LOOK UPON MY GREEN ENERGY YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR

SMALLER ROOF AND TREE MOUNTED WIND TURBINES WILL CONTINUE TO BE BUILT FROM SCRAP AND CHINESE PARTS KITS FOR THE PURPOSES OF CHARGING THEY SAILFOAM AND FLASHLIGHT IN AN INCREASINGLY OFFGRID WALMART FAVELA
