@mapto Actually no, and sbows why money isnt as trivial as you suggest.
Someone who deals in obscure books people love more will absolutely make money and be the money lovers goto. If 99% of bookstores keep common books and you as thr 1% are the onky store with it, you have little competition and thus will sell more.
@realcaseyrollins yea thats my point too ;)
@mapto money is just a number we use to value your ability to command resources. Someone may be rich because they buy and sell books or people, in which case tbey are aroubd those things a lot.
Out of curiosity was this an NDA you had to sign when they hired you, or an NDA they tried to get you to sign after they hired you?
I think the point here is that this is a problem, but the post really fails to connect the dots. Might be helpful to mention why it should be concerning that aluminum oxide is entering earths atmosphere. Since its a solid and fairly naturally occuring I think most people would assume its a non issue without more info.
@mapto Rich people arent by default smart, some are lucky, some have inheretance, and some are skillful in making money but not neccesarly smart. A lot of making money isnt intelligence, its social, and has a lot to do with ones self-confidence. If youa re confident and persistent in being rich you usually will be.
So wait, the election **is** rigged? Can we pick a narrative and stick to it please.
If you want a personalized update instead of using the resource I mentioned, asked politely. Im done with this passive aggressive nonsense.
@freeschool @realcaseyrollins @QOTO > a simple few lines about what is hap... ah forget it.
You passive agressively asked me not to. I honored your wishes.
@freeschool @realcaseyrollins @QOTO
> Could be passive-aggressive / attentioning seeking allowing me to simply ask / not solve it sooner.
No need to guess why i talk to you this way.. because you are rude and entitled so im not going to bend over backwards to enable that behavior. Plus every time you ask you end with "dont even bother responding"... so i take your advice and dont answer it. I dont play that passive aggressive game, you get what you ask for.
I told you which website, the one I have mentioned three times that is in development that will be dedicated to status updates and includes widgets we developed that automatically post our progress based on the movement of the gitlab tickets.
If you want a URL as I said it is in development so its not live yet, until its live you will have to follow the gitlab and/or ask in the matrix chat if you want detailed updates.
He is entierly valid in addressing an ongoing issue with our 3.5 update. But yes he has been consistently rude and entitled in his responses and most of his interaction with me (which I call out). He doesnt seem to understand I have no obligation to provide QOTO as a service for anyone, me running this server is a **favor** not an obligation. Just because I try to treat it like an obligation, doesnt mean he has the right to speak to me like its an obligation...
The fact that I continue to welcome him on this server despite his constant attitude is quite telling though IMO.
The one i mentioned in my first reply and 2 weeks ago... the one I devoted a developer to develop specifically due to (mostly) your insistance at needing more updated(which i agreed). As I stated the widgets for it are in development and should be deployed soon. In the meantime you are welcome to ask directly should you want a update while you wait for us to finish that.
If a updated website with our dev progress isnt good enough for you, and you arent willing to go to a chat if you want updated before that website is live you can always just ask me **politely** rather than throwing a rude fit every time.
As stated if you want updates or want to follow the status of the server you can do so throught he matrix chat for the developers I mentioned last time we spoke. As I said we will be bringing up a dedicated status update website in the next few weeks as well for those who dont want to rely on the chat room.
That doesnt track for me. 4 years ago the reft was all about defubding police. Not seeing that as a central part of the right now 4 years later.
