Life hack: mack sure wherever you go the first thing you do is make friends with the shadiest mother fucker you can. The kind of dude selling counterfit shoes in a back alley somewhere. Because that man will find you fucking anything when your in a pinch, laws be damned.
I went to 20 or kore different dive shops trying to find a shop willing to let me solo dive (just rent the tanks and gas and go into the water alone). Every single shop and no and its illegal. So i asked my buddy whom i met in a back ally trying to sell some cannabis yo passing by tourists. Within 5 minutes he hooked me up with a SCUBA operation that can get me hooked up with some tanks and gas. He literally made this whole vacation work and i can enjoy my diving.
@freemo
That's glad to know.
Hopefully, koyu and other domains get removed, too.
By the way, in their email reply to me, they mentioned that #Quad9 is considering joining #Mastodon!
I guess, they may note receive a red-carpet welcome here!
@koyuchan @mhamzahkhan
@freemo I'm not sure I've ever heard someone use "rushhole" 😂 Enjoy!
@lucifer
Clearly ;)
@koyuchan
I managed to get qoto removed from all security threat lists and got quad9 to retract our block as well. Qoto should work on quad9 moving forward and hopefully should no longer be a problem with other services either.

There are plenty of problems with all governments around the world and the usa is no exception to that. But thankfully it is at least far better than the state of affairs in most communistic countries past and present. But yes plenty worth addressing.
@cosas
Also to be clear "if it were completely up to the rich"... That statement has nothing to do with capitalism. Capitalism by definition is free markets, a free market is one where all parties, regardless of wealth, have equal opportunities in the market.
@cosas
Beleive it or not unlike communists who demand purity or else it cant "work" capitalists generally dont have that mentality. I, like most capitalists, are aware that idealistically pure governments dont abd cant exist. There is no pure capitalism, never had been, just as there is no pire communism and never has been and never will be.
What you do have are countries, like most of europe and america, that adopt capitalism but know that their governemnt is and should be far more nuanced and for a healthy government you have components in addition to a free market. Most understand capitalism is absolutely a requirement for a healthy government, but that isnt where things end its only where it begins. Having good welfare and social programs are part of a good capitalistic government as well.

I love how you read this and went "I feel personally attacked by this!"
@Pat
Its actually cubic feet per minute. I just convert it since i orefer to talk in metric
@mushambo
Haha i may have a bit of clout but not sure im quite at that level :)
@freemo And maybe he thought "Who was that person everyone ran up to instead of me?"
@skells
Pull?
The president of Egypt literally just parked his car and walked within 2 or 3 feet of me like it was nothing.... I didnt even know who he was and everyone ran up to me and went "thats the president" and im just like "of what?" And they went "of egypt" and i went " no fucking shit!".
