One thing mostly left out of the history books regarding Little Big Horn is that the large force Custer encountered had gathered for an inter-tribal Sun Dance ceremony. Army size estimates were wrong because so many had snuck away from reservations to join in.

This is one of the reasons all native ceremonies and dances were outlawed by congress in 1883. To this day most people are unaware that the 1st amendment didn't apply again to the first peoples until 1978. Cultural Genocide.

When people hate others simply because of how much money they have, well, it really shows their colors.

Just got two conceal carry insurances: USCAA and Right to Bear... I figure this way if one insurance has some loophole and wont cover me I have a backup.

PAwoo.net was reported for photographic child porn. The admin seems to have not acted, and given how closely they walk the line this has convinced me to defederate from the server.

Meta is looking to implement post importing. That's been a feature request since forever (see github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i and github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i ).

Secure messaging is another example.

These are things that if meta implements them and does even a halfway decent job then #meta controls the standard.

Want to prevent that?

Get there first or at least have a strong offering on how to do these things out of the gate. Let _us_ as a community control the standards that we use.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo

😂 😂 😂

accessible description of freemo's toot:
@freemo says "Communists are adorable...";
there is an image of a tweet from Twitter by a user named @TheAliceSmith; the tweet shows a picture of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their Bed-in protest; Lennon is standing and Ono is sitting and they are waiting for a maid to make their bed so they can get back in their bed and continue their protest; the text in the tweet says, "That moment when you are a working-class communist millionaire but you have to wait for the maid to finish making your bed so you can continue to Imagine no possessions."

It amazes me that a 10mm Luger bullet (middle) has about 50% MORE energy than the significantly larger .45 colt long (right).

For reference on tbe left is a 9mm parabellum.

@freemo Haha I’ve unintentionally left spent casings in the driver’s seat of a car I borrowed (they fell out of my front pocket). One time I had a hole in my pocket, casings fell through my pants leg and into my boot. Had to take the boot off and shake the casings out of it in front of people like a clown, but this was on a shooting range at least.

While undressing to shower in my hotel room I found an old used bullet casing in my pocket... the maid will have an interesting time cleaning this room tomorrow ;)

Yes has been emailed many times by people with money asking to buy influence. Im sure most large instance admins have dealt with it many times... i usually just ignore the emails, nothing new, move along.

People have asked me to 'preblock' this project but I am not gonna.

Meta is not Gab so we give them a chance and can always block them later with 2 simple button clicks..

We would never ever sell out on you but rather invest time to make this all go smooth without everything come crashing down

I hope this clears up some mis-understandings

#Russia forces filled up a T-55 tank with 6 tons of TNT and sent it towards #Ukraine positions without crew. The tank was stopped by a land mine in the middle of the field but then apparently still remotely detonated. Looking at the size of the explosion, it certainly could have harmed unprotected soldiers in the trenches by the shockwave alone, but at the same time the damages to the field and trees afterwards seem unproportionately low as compared to the size of the charge and the vehicle used to deliver it. Using a VBIED — or TBIED in this case — was usually guerrilla tactics used against a much stronger opponent in lack of any more effective weapons...

@Pat Nope, and please dont bring that up again or I will have to report you. No mine are about perfectly ordinary friendly birds that absolutely dont spy on you. In fact they are so obviously not spying that they are a perfect choice to tell all your secrets to!
