#STEM vs. #humanity... why Tyrants use STEM mostly because it detaches from humanity more often...
Not all STEM's fault but obviously... but...
#STEM often ends up as detachment from #humanity but nature of it's focus and specialty (cutting out of other things).
Excessive use is a big cause of increasing distance from reality... but that's what helps STEM make it 'efficient'. There's no H in STEM.
For me this is why it's a favourite #toolset for #tyrants and tyrannical people as it's well suited to #war and converting things towards it.
Good AND Bad people are on the same opposite spectrum (same emotional ignorance). The whole spectrum of ignorance helps ignore / damage it all more good or bad person)
===================
#PRIMITIVE STEM EXAMPLES
===================
🔴 SCIENCE Consuming huge amounts of resources towards less human connection; Biological weapons, more nuclear consumption, towards profit, control, manipulation?
🔴 TECHNOLOGY by mainstream that design to 'give' choice that ends up as the same thing in the end. (different doors leading to the same door).
🔴 ENGINEERING Weapons as PLANES AND BOMBS 💣 TANKS, HELICOPTERS ETC -
🔴 MATHS Numbers not quite representing people. Incorrect accounting (according to designer of #Matrix)
As well 'GOOD' things, bigger damage in STEM - even the good less economically damaging ends up helping fund war / bombs / profit again.
Bad circle for STEM / Humanity.
I guess we had to go there to find this out...
but now need to #degrowth quite a bit to ALLOW the humanity to creep in and grow more instead of be cut out for #money #banks to chew on.
#ACAB #POLICE some good people inside the bad?
#ACAB #POLICE I want to believe there are some good people - while I think all enforcement signups know what they are getting into also or that there is more of bad mix perhaps...
BUT perhaps even they themselves are not told / find out the #percentage of each type of #enforcement they will be doing / never actually know until time passed where they fall into and for example how will it will change. Probably people have to go where told and can't just stay in 1 or 2 things unless they fight to stay in places / be less universal #soldier. It's like that for a lot of jobs where they want squeeze most from people in as many ways as possible.
So while people sign up for bad things (like any "company" might have) and #cops could use their physicality on people or even like shoot things, it's still a question of the hierarchy using them better.
I accept people are born with more tendencies and talents but don't like it's for #war and prefer #AmericanFootball or #MMA or #shoot range as a disciplined #sport / #sports and sportsman-like ways which police could be as, nice guys even when tackling people to the ground instead of antagonist / those that offer opposition and threat to #public people.
So over-focusing on
traffic and issuing tickets (#quotas),
harassing the poor people (on #estates / #coucilestates)
using force to scare even the #honest people...
#economic or otherwise...
...just isn't cool...
But what to do when it's one of the only consistent jobs going (or was). It's "Fight for us or Starve" like the army used to be and #State /.$tate might say (or it's all the same).
And all of the above while not fixing the #cause but spending money on the #symptoms instead accumulating #force as most of the " #answer " and perpetuating also hence ACAB :(
People are $tuck in #jobs too I'm sure - fighting a #competitive #planet #economy either way as #soft or #hard fighting -
Some groups just make more of a #killing than others ("making a killing" as in the " #legal " sense of getting #money #phrase for #smoe kind of #slavery / working increasingly for #banks / #bank)
#Wealth is the ladder to becoming poor in the future as a society and then individually again...
#Wealth is the ladder to becoming poor in the future...
⬇️ Explained a bit more:
Everything gets more #expensive with modern Capitali$m / Bank$ / $tate because:
➡️ ALL = for the getting / #extracting "more" money from people (even if it's for less service or even a bad one)
#Capitalism / #Banks / #State are not caring right ❓
Mostly all uncaring #containers.
Wealth is just a mechanism to take more from people and for them to temporarily feel like they have something while it #exponentially gets more expensive and $tate / Banks / #Tech take full #ladder of control.
💬 #FreeSchool #Quote
For the #caring people to see in the future (as if we don't see it now) #FreeMo @freemo to see the real #equation.
===========
|| Picture Text: ||
===========
More expensive = More cost to all
= More cost to keep "wealth" going...
(= increase cost to others)
= More #poor as you and others push up " #wealth " / rising prices / #greed / #power / #control ...etc!
...as the cost to each other
and by Bank$ and $tate goes up
for greed mostly (because costs force control / power in their favour)
Much like #cruelty to #animals.
Asking them to jump more for their food, away from #oppression, simple safety etc!
#TLDR;
Wealth is just a mechanism to take more from people and for them to temporarily feel like they have something while it #exponentially gets more expensive and $tate / Banks / #Tech take full #ladder of control.

If you like #Banks and dislike everything else that attempts something similar (#Crypto / #CrytoCurrency included)
then I question what the point of life is with that sort of devil and not trying to think about lesser ones.
While accepting we're inside this or that container - all are burning the planet, "naturally" or more excessively depending on your priority ladder...
Investing in people - #Shit humans also come from what you don't invest in and spend time on... IT'S not just #BigTech, Trump etc....!
What do you expect in life if you're not investing in people?
The rest you don't need to read and is just a moan - but really the main point is the above line.
====================
In the human sense it's not only #Corporations but people who are using themselves as tools who don't respect or care much for things and even claiming it's not their fault.
They could by the smallest amounts change.
So it's not just #BigTech, Trump etc....! IT'S YOU
#Shit humans also come from what you don't invest in...
Reminds me of #Enshitification / #Enshittification but just with humans not doing the humanising work and mostly just machine work.
Don't expect the leaders or industry to do any better - I think our work should be about doing better versions of #BigTech tools, not just #OpenSource playing with #computers
It's you dear #Techie #Gamer #Twitcher #Trump #hater aer too absorbed with that then that needs to fix up #BECAUSE you're not caring or building people building up - just #machine work?
More tools only seems to make it worse and distracted.
Until you can actually 'interface' with people online and work with them, every day with intent to solve thing, then not much will happen better than just #Techies installalling more hardware and software.
Also if respect and focus is mostly just #money in the middle that's also not going to work.
#Banks :bank don't hold good moral value.
Bottom of the barrel duplication work = YOU?. Prove me wrong.
Hardly any working *with* people.
#Trump #Musk #Zuckerberg #Bezos are all held up by your habits and what positive interest in others you don't build with.

The "Trolley Problem" #Theory + #Video Clip
The "Trolley Problem"
#Theory + #Video Clip
I always liked the theory of 'HOW things are done' a bit more than frankly the result or "unthinking" ways like...
...buying in the answer
...shipping it from somewhere else all the time...
The morality seems to suffer the same if you do not think and just go for the cheese or candy that inevitably 'someone else' has left there for a few reasons - not all of them freedom loving (or even shockingly aiming for the opposite!).
Here I discuss the morality of this theory in today's sense... but for more accuracy this is the wiki page reference of it...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
So I like also the non-extreme ways of thinking and not forcing people into binary in just the binary sense, but I do think you do have to think more often than not!!!...
like 70%+ of the time..
So it's like saying think deeper more than don't !
IF you do only the immediate and short-term ways the results are effected long-term because you are not looking at the bigger picture or even what the others are doing and how/why/etc.
Of course we're born into the problems so it's hard not to already be in problems and jump into it from day 1 (like when you're 18 trying to find a job or even having a #passport and what that means) so we all learn how bad it is AFTER... read terms and conditions after... or even learn what the terms mean in #legalese...
So then it's learning and unlearning as you are unavoidably or highly probably going to do more harm or reach climactic problems by ignoring things especially when you do know or see it everywhere.
The morality and Trolley Problem are solved by long-term thinking..
and this equation....
☑️ long-term thinking = short-term
So if you can get the message through more often then everyone is a winner even after short-term disasters which are often unavoidable as time for thinking and acting has already gone,
Hardships mean just by doing the #bad less often in a methodical way within loss and becomes better from people needing to learn better (but yes this luxury of increasing #intelligence has it's #costs or time and $energy)... but seems no other way.
Doing things too directly (skipping steps of thought) or less looking at your method (=learning bad habits) means people are going to DISPLACE THE COST or SHIFT SUFFERING involved and lose responsible / control.
So even in the #colonial sense or being supplied stuff, it's not feasible because people will reach unhappiness when losing control, losing understanding from why things are happening from their usage as it's unseen.
The Trolley Problem is usually about an over-simplified short-term scenario of death presented as "either a smaller group die or larger group die" (by switching the train tracks switch yourself) but to achieve actually a different result needs more than revisiting the same Trolley Problem situation over and over because things get worse in more areas if only doing that.
Life is undoubted a knock-on effect and connect to an eco-system we could work with more often (as a whole) instead of leaving everything to 'everyone else' (who is also thinking someone else has control or responsibility when it's really almost nobody!)
A SUMMARY OF ANOTHER KIND...
➡️ Humans learning a better way work long term
➡️ Not expecting a switch to solve it or even accepting "Trolley Problem" at all
For example everyone could spread the loss and lose together sharing the death in smaller way between more people AND solve it after a while like feeding people instead of profiting from them.
➡️ The short-minded choice *all the time* avoids responsibility and future children get the same problems happen and "the can is kicked further down the road" by current people avoiding responsibility.
➡️ Predicting the trolley problem (or even thinking of the trolley problem itself being a bad way to think) is better in the overall sense and reflects more to it in reality.
➡️ This predictive thinking of "doing better" and "I will improve this next time" by people I feel is what is missing from daily life. I admit it is often "enforced" by rules from past people but often this is just what parents tell us and can be a bit imaginary as a line we can't cross and may not even exist!
What we could do is break more smaller ones more often or test smaller rules as false fences of truth and what people think of a 'concrete' in the mind (a bit like Wizard of Oz not being a real thing and just a man behind a curtain).
➡️ Sometimes more than 'legal' 'illegal' definitions we see these things are only past people who try to put us in concrete binary definitions of "morality" which are clearly not because they often expect just people to follow and not debate or test things (it's usually purely for business what is legal and what is not).
➡️ When younger or as a family to defend each other's right to choice seems best to do it and learn why. Ok! Now go do it more often!
➡️ Don't be the person who would forget a problem and come across the same problem again later! #FreeSpeech etc!
➡️ Everything actually matters because it's the micro that adds to macro or larger blocks of life.
➡️ And you can't cheat (or else cheat yourself).
➡️ We all have to be responsible more often to solve these problems and have less of the #Trolley #mindset.
➡️ To die naturally happens and even that's from human-added choice (people want wars) so it's about the long-term habits and micro-choices which tie to principles that are going to solve it all or more often.
➡️ If not tied to principles or much more than going for the cheese then it seem you are constantly going to jump ships on fire and never going to improve your ship until all the ships are sunk.
Or worse get manipulated from shirking responsibility to control your own ship (your body or life).
➡️ SO THE PAST ALSO HELPS ACCEPT FUTURE LOSS... IF DON'T THE WRONG WAY ALREADY OR NOT ADAPTING TO CURRENT PEOPLE.
And if the past has made the long-term #unsustainable or less #sustainable (population increases from using #fertilizer and #fossilfuels) ignoring people's other needs of morality (another kind of happiness achieved even when poor) means further bad ways and more desperate ways to get that fuel, etc... like doing deals with #Russia (or whoever) - I mean didn't people get it after the Cold War or any war that you can't do deals with your Super-Power enemy!
➡️ So then we can only take the hit by going against or with the method as "a bit better" than repeating deals with the devils.
(E.G. REDUCE gas from Russia? Is a tough one but accepting we should use what we have better or on our own soil more often and gradually, more and more grow what we can ourselves relieves suffering to ourselves and others overall)... obviously not all $tates want this is another "onion skin of consideration" of which you might aim to #DIY energy and reduce it yourself.
I know that sounds 'too #humanitarian' but we have to do it for other #humans too else fall into the trap of doing it for the #money / #banks / #state control and trapping those that have lost control themselves completely.
#Hunting money or buying into other people's way also has it problems feeding #profit into what seem a black hole for spending on oppression and #war.
So that's why the 'best of worst scenarios' is to Do It Yourself while calculating / reducing / testing problems for a more educated pull of the switch (long-term - meaning many switches not just one trolley or train to think about for your life's quest!).
#Fediverse Failure ... People *must* build & invest in people, if it's about #Freedom. Else IT FAILS 100% like everything we see without people helping people!
Involving other people into your life is what is missing to help solve all the small things you'll never do alone - that's the TLDR.
I also mention Richard Stallman and other examples along the way because I respect him (adn you) - but could anyone in any movement not do the people work and be successful...
NO. 100%.
As far as I know (and asked most people) nobody is doing the people work like a niche waiting to happen... (ever get get that DONATE button only under "How you can help"?)
For a movement it's obvious that it is about people not even toilet paper money in 2years time ticking away it's value in the banks loaning it behind you back!...
But NOBODY wants to do this work even with that said... even the contact button will not get you a person sometimes that will work together with you to see if you say anything - UNLESS by chance you're this expensive thing we just happen to want right now! And even then you're discarded
☑️ PEOPLE HAVE 0 WORTH NOW.
So TODAY it's more about machines unfortunately....

That's the main part done...
#Disclaimer over NOW LET US KICK TO PIECES the above so you hopefully realise and make a start on your NEW LIFE.
➡️ THE AIM:
➡️ WHAT'S YOUR REAL JOB IN LIFE... ?
To find something more than the casual entertainment or '#job' searching constantly, the passing time in a bit of #education - ton of rabbit-hole #politics and then quit out back to every day job and family... going nearly nowhere. Feeling like you might be growing a child but realise it's no better than your own desperate life seeking meaning in yet another mouth to feed with #fairytale stories built to be broken and then an agree look at you, around 18 or earlier - TRAITOR YOU ARE! (too many disney films will do that to you)
This is basically like a Twitter #Lifestyle of using Fediverse... under-appreciating the whole reason(s) we're here.
I don't under-estimate financial troubles you have and stupidity dumping all your money in a child the #state owns but by not spiraling out from your family, you're not even helping the finances or your child either (even that needs people behind it and even some people will do it for free ---> even if that is not the only main goal all the time and can involved paid people like I said with #Stallman - have a mixed tier of people who love what they do not all out #GNU / unpaid and not all out #paid by Google / BLING ).
Actually your usage is less than being on Twitter sometimes if your friends are not here or you're not planning to do anything but use this place for going to #FOSS a few times a year (which is nice - try cram in holiday and education in 3days great).
Without more people together working DAILY / weekly with what they have already, what they do already etc TOGETHER, then we can't do this #freedom stuff AT ALL. It's not just a yearly thing or temporary browse and virtue-signal click...
Hey #Techies - yeah you too - all the good code comes to an end and even in the trash 🗑️ once you've re-written it a million times and then they block an internet pipe or add something in browsers to change goal-posts or re-write something in phones (all happened before right?).
On some level there is always someone else controlling all this and that can be reached and stopped. #Mesh is a good idea but even still people are are they learning how to communicate other than "oh wow, look at this technology - err... ok been there done that - fucking weirdos" after 1 message.
We all have a lot of shit and need help with baggage -do politely pick and choose but do not ignore (do listen and read and get the feeling if genuine).
The enemy's will is too strong elsewhere to ignore the 99% for your 'saving time' and 'I'm busy' excuses while I see what your activity is like from your profile !
Yeah!
Our will is not matching their will so thing we do gets taken down quicker than we have got each other as friends.
Just as "users" we will lose and just get rounded up.
OK ARE YOU GAY AND FRISKY
OR SOMETHING ABOUT 'RELATIONSHIP' WITH ME - CUM ON
#Tinder is not a great example (by far) but imagine people can go as far as sex from just messaging and for us that could be just as great to work on #projects / find each other / space to do something / create from our own suggestions / accommodate each other right? (not sex)
BUT OH MY JOB AND FAMILY ARE ENOUGH! NOOOOOO
There is little real mutuality there and people are not in it to win it (win freedom).
My people, please just don't carry on doing the same $tate games mostly and expect the #shitshow you're paying for to stop or even beg for mercy -
STOP THAT FUCKING BEGGING SHIT - DON'T TRY TO USE LOGIC AND REASONING AGAIN WITH PROFESSIONALLY CRUEL PAID PEOPLE - IT'S UNINTELLIGENT TO GO BACK TO THEM... AND DECADES NOW...
THEY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WORK, YOUR 100% GREAT REASONS - OVER AND OVER. WHICH THEY SIMPLY YAWN AT AND CONTROL - OR NEXT TIME AROUND WILL CHANGE IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS.
EFFORTS FAILS 100% like that other than together daily exploring more here to up ourselves (and other things with it but not bucketting water from boats with holes pre-drilled in the bottom and sold to you).
Don't wait for your job to fail before you do something about something... or banks to hold your money and not take it while your busy thinking the same number on your bank account statement is actually the same in 1 year (even if the number is).
These are professional bastards you're dealing with, and thought of maaany things...
They are not even listening to your begging while riding their yachts or what you think they really do apart from accumulate and spend on crap.
YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE "YOU AND ME" NOT STATE
Across everything you need to take care in order for all of it to be repaired slowly but surely (doesn't have to be all-in now but how useful it is to have one more willing person around or extra hands).
=====================
OK WHAT'S THE ANSWER AGAIN BUDDY? (YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL BAD AND BULLYING ME ALREADY!!)
=====================
So, what you do already is great, but try picking up the best of them/us here on Fediverse, or even just me to test it and leave a comment how I failed - this gives meaning - some meaning to you
Jump some hashtags and direct message people... and make contact happen...
REMEMBER:
Your 'nice' family and colleagues usually give NO SHITS and are not into doing anything other than "things for the money" as relative baseline to you and your "relationship" - which are not the way to fix anything long-term...
WHY MONEY NO SOLVE MI PROBLEMO?
because all money is #Debt see and increasingly given out loans de-bases all our existing value and dilutes our efforts out of existence (imagine mixing water with real juice - after a while it's just water).
VALUE PROPOSITION HERE?
So we're all proper people and proper value in many ways (we can't avoid that even if we lie a bit or exaggerate). It takes a lot of effort to fake it and even then doesn't work! So even if there are some shit people we're going to have to kick in online it's still more than doable and learning curves to make thing a bit forgivable... and no keys to my Lexus is ever going to be given let's face it.
(again YOUR family and other 'Trust' don't work great AND OFTEN they don't give a fuck if you tried convincing them already 100 times! About #religion, about #waste, #petrol, #war, buying crap... Lots of us are leaving family as we speak I'm sure...)
YOU NEED TO...
Work how I want / we want (yes it's not just you but others so it's also a balance of me AND YOU - but after taking the time looking at the profile we can do more I'm sure or call it 'attempted' - leave a note in their "NOTE" section to see who you already tried with).
Literally aim to work together from the very start and find that #magic #combination between you, will appear - do try like your life / our lives depended on it Batman/kindperson!
If you're too #comfortable / #bourgeois you're probably going to move on from this post and say you have work in the morning and turning the heating up full blast.
But if you know - then every person who tries or writes a post like this DESERVES to be found out and used. You strike gold instantly from persistence / dedication or passion - whatever I have that money can't buy.. even if you don't see it yet. It's there.
If you think you can only pay people to work and expect happiness through the state relationship taxing your asses for #war...
YOU'RE WRONG!
WE SEE IT ALREADY!
History I think proves it over and over... It's nice for a few month (at the beginning) and then it gets boring or you get kick out when they downsize... whatever.
Do the fucking maths - they are raking it in Billions AND 'somehow' it also gets worse the more they get. Hmmm - See how this dark 'magic' works proportionately with money and them making their own rules?
Yes let's hope the job changes something FUCK OFF!
(NOT ABUSING YOU)
The real work is done without paying the $tate that #oppresses you and when people do it anyway for #free why not use them #mutually?
Then you can consider monetising it. For now keep things as they are but increment growing #relationship #relativity between people FIRST.
Your family and money-related relationships are not the way! (because even they don't even work great or you think they do until you talk politics for 10mins! ------> Go ahead and try AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT / IF THERE IS REAL CHANGE!)
What #RMS and other people here (yes even on Fediverse!) are not doing is the same elsewhere - not increasing peer-to-peer / horizontal work. ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ #P2P #SEEDING IF YOU WILL ALLOW THAT SIMILARITY...
So for example if #RichardStallman himself can't do the work, then at least he could organise the fans a bit to do it themselves (a bit like an official forum helps others as volunteer) in a pyramid to provide help TO THE MANY but also work in a more personal way more Mastodon based.
That is the next level after that forum style messaging like the actual work to to fulfill more of everyone's wants and even let them dream a bit).
ALL these people getting followed currently on Fediverse ARE NOT doing working together... Maybe I will list the best of them... but I don't even want to advertise them as they don't provide much and will even disappoint you after some 'very nice posts' we all have enough of. You want to touch the stars and be more like one (even without the #Gary #Glitter).
And then even celebrate a new us each time.... as fans, as unique people! That is the golden egg or whatever! 🥚 <--- need a golden emoji egg please on the double!
For example I'm happy to organise and talk to #RMS fans even let them comment on me - we can stop anytime too!
A more balanced way (a practical togetherness not just for geeks / admin / #Techies) or even stop-start can happen to test things but I feel like I need a bit of 'official' backing to get the some "weirdos" together (even weirdos can't accept other weirdos these days, that's how bad it is) so it becomes more X-Men style togetheness- even if I'm the guy in the wheelchair called Charles :)
I'll take that! ♿
It's like totally proportional that if other people don't really matter anymore
...or only matter when part of a $tate or $ubsidiary relation$hop (I mean #relationship excuse the previous typo)... then what else does it lead to...
more fascism of course! (hierarchical authoritarian #government) right?
That grows from you doing near-nothing to the above.
It can almost only lead there. And so we see it happen - #fire 🔥 everywhere and even people comment the "oh no not again"
It's like smelling their own finger and expecting different (ok that monkey video is funny) but common now, enough watching the #shitshow hashtags already.

⬇️ IDEAS + COMMENTS FROM THREAD BELOW ⬇️ https://linuxrocks.online/@rose/113844858402063933
🔴 💳 #Anonymous #payment #card
@rose
💬 Something like a #universal #gift #card
🔴 PRIVACY / BANK TRACKING
@dangoodin
💬 The tracking of your hourly whereabouts, your purchases and your contacts seems like a high price to me. YMMV.
🔴 💸 RISK OF CASH
@iagox86
💬 ... I imagine the risk of robbery balances is higher than the transaction cost (at least in their mind).
🔴 💸 NO NEED PROTECTION FOR SMALL ITEMS
@femme_mal
💬 I don't need the protections a card offers on purchases of fresh vegetables at the local farm market but the purchase of hard goods like a new refrigerator certainly merits them.
🔴 💳 Card Convenience
@jawnsy
💬 Convenience is why SCADA systems are accessible on the Internet 🫣
🔴 💳 + 💸 Cash and Card
@lxskllr
💬 I'm cash everywhere aside from online purchases.
🔴 Loyalty Card = Tracking
@lauren
💬 Given the widespread use of loyalty cards to get the best prices, even paying with cash doesn't stop tracking.
🔴 Marketing should be illegal?
@kmstrube81
💬 I wonder if computers were a mistake and if marketing should be illegal.
🔴 TRUST #BIGTECH?
@lpar
💬 I trust Apple more than I trust random merchants, though. I wouldn't trust Google, since they're an advertising company.
🔴 SMALL BUSINESS SAME AS BIG BUSINESS (just smaller scale?)
@aapis / https://mastodon.world/@aapis/113844878648939499
💬 uh yes, duh? This hypothetical woman is trying to profit, yes? She’s trying to make her #business a success, yes? So are the Starbucks execs, the only difference is scale. If this woman had the power and #capital available to Starbucks, what would be different about her stores? #Capitalism
🔴 CAN'T TRUST GOVERNMENT
@dangoodin
💬 ... the #government in my country is 100% dysfunctional ...
Self remedies are the best sort of remedies. #DIY
... Expecting #governments to provide all the answers is also a losing battle. https://infosec.exchange/@dangoodin/113845620795365821
🔴 GOVERNMENTS FOR THE LONG-TERM WAY
@wavefunction
💬 Governments are the only means we have to actually "win" the battle. If it's you versus a corporation, you're already losing. They will always have more power and resources than an individual and will always spend more #money than you to make it their way.
🔴 RISK AS AN EXCUSE?
@dangoodin
💬 The people complaining about having cash stolen are usually the same ones carrying an $800 phone in their pocket.
🔴 #CASH NEEDED #LEGAL PROTECTION
@shansterable@c.im
💬 In 2023, the King County council in #Washington state voted to require #retail businesses to accept cash because it was becoming such an issue.
🔴 LESS TAXES
@tyn
💬 defund the #state!
🔴 GIFT CERT / CARD @epicdemiologist
💬 large gift #certificate (via #check)
🔴 CASH COST TIME / ACCOUNTING AFTER
@jarek@mastodon.online
💬 Handling cash costs money too... Accounting... translates to employee #time... I think your local #merchant is naive.
+
💬 ...(costs of processing cash, costs of #bookkeeping, ease with which cash can be skimmed off by employees, risk of robbery, etc). @thomasareed
🔴 SMALL CONSIDERATIONS HARD TO COUNT
@bluGill
💬 It is hard to figure out what the real cost of cash is as so many of those things seem like little and so you don't count.
🔴 Tipping considerations...
@thomasareed
💬 #tipping a lot more personal, private, and potentially more deliberate.
🔴 CASH FOR THOSE WITH NO BANK 🏦
💬 ...businesses that don't accept cash are being #discriminatory against people who don't have access to banks accounts, such as homeless, extreme low income, or newcomers to our country. It's a way of "keeping the riffraff out" their businesses. #discrimination
@OhOkKay
🔴 MONERO ALTERNATIVE
💬 even #Monero would be less expensive than #CreditCards!
@kkarhan
🔴 CASH RECEIPTS 📋
💬 A lot of restaurants in #Germany won’t produce a receipt if you pay in cash.

Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
Communication pioneer (only as most people don't do it at any depth)
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
