I've changed my mind on live debates, and lean more towards them being a waste of time. I understand why with a lot of prep they could be valuable...
That said, in high-stakes issues where people are unlikely to cooperate with their opposition, there's not going to be any meaningful progress made.
If you think a live debate would be useful on a divisive topic, my recommendation would be to at minimum have someone (or a group) do the research to be able to solidly steelman (not strawman) the other side.
But even then, I'm more partial to written/hypertext form than live performances.

Stop the suffering - less leaning by force on each other 

Stop the suffering - less leaning by force on each other

Not just saying:
"As long as it's not me" because thing like Capitalism catch up to all of us in every job or system - it's the root to a lot of suffering as a domino, 1 group at a time or more. So stopping helps slow it all down to make sense of it all...

Power is from this domino leverage on individuals...

CSB Feedback - I probably need a bit of time ... and you like short answers/reasons mostly so this is it. for now... 

@CSB@noauthority.social
Currently I've had ok and bad experiences with you CSB and for now I'm focussing on the good which seems to being a bit more careful and slower for me.

I explained already to you about behaviours so it's covered and also for example you have asked me this question already not so long ago so it might show memory or you're just jumping in fast a bit, perhaps defensive over (which is fine if it is and not accusing) - I just don't want us to have more troubles.

So in the interest of honesty I'm currently affected [some use of language, saying sorry but doing different / doing same with others creating what I see as unnecessary insults / repeating what you said and sometimes direction of language overall towards negativity or just out of context angry-response stuff [put-downs, name calling, being against things so quickly and strongly]

BUT I could say that it's me and I don't get it for now and need time. And still appreciate what good things.

QOTO: If you have problems for a few days... try these tests 

@bibliolater @freemo Could be an idea to try a few things / tests to see if any different results:

█ log out, and then log in to see if any difference

█ try a fresh install of same browser using portable / uuzipped version
(e.g. mypal-browser.org/download.htm)

█ try another browser completely to check if anything different
(e.g. alternativeto.net/software/bra)

And let me know if these quick-ish tests show anything different.

QOTO: Do we have an account to send problems to (other than freemo personally)? 

@bibliolater
I think it would be good to have a @QOTO type of handle where QOTO problems or experiences can be mentioned and recorded.
And possibly goes to everyone helping out at QOTO / the admins... or for those that follow it to get people's messages.
Maybe I forgot but do we have this type of acc already?

Currently if it's that important I send to @freemo.
The hashtag is also good but for non-immediate / non-critical stuff (which I guess this problem might be for Biblolater or will end up being) but also would be better to show on 1 account people's ups and downs; to see problems and answers, unanswered etc instead of asking someone perhaps directly...

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is:

"La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera."

or:

"The right oppresses, the left liberates."

(Now I kind of want to put this on a t shirt)

It's 10:17 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

Thanks for being here with me.

I love you.

Is "NAS1" AND "NAS2" the best way to differentiate NAS old and NAS new... 

@Bunnyslope @CSB@noauthority.social I was early into understanding and felt talking about it might be practical for reading or polite to say it as old (NAS1) and new (NAS2)...

but since that entry point I'm not sure anyone is able to go distance in what I want, in almost the 2nd/3rd message server guy asked me if I'm a "corporate journalist" and when I asked if he read my profile he said no because it was too long... so this has set the bar and shows where we're at somewhat as he / people respond to that quick enough and long enough but can't read a bio or previous messages to see I'm not what they immediately call me (oh yeah he also called me a bot and started talking in third person as if I'm the developer of a bot) even with decent people.
While... So even though I'm not sure how to label what I want other than polite reply or even "friendship" and "to do things / fix it ourself" this is just another hole in the tank of humanity which leaks energy and even encourages hate and retribution.

So a bit of context there after initial paragraph which was about being interested in learning about NAS, and not much now. And how good people can be so good in many things, but almost despicable / inhuman themselves encouraging negativity from chasing / projecting incorrectly their FUD (almost like they are new to it) chasing their tale instead of giving people a chance and building since we're all quite anonymous here or should be. And have been for years... But I guess this is not enough and why mainstream can easily take over... still people have not learned to trust people or even test them first. Some people might not even need friends but can make the mistake of creating emotions instead. I certainly didn't appreciate it and any hope I had rebounded.

@earthjay Earthquake post with pictures visually interesting and practical :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

@SteelFolk @freemo lol, I'm imagining one still peeing in the bath in that position - but probably best place for it!

Maths fails when other humans values deliberately against people to devalue them in a poorly numbered matrix / soft-slavery. 

Maths fails when humans that use it deliberately and systematically against people.

P.S
If you think your can say this better or differently please reply!

In other words how much are you worth ? This starts you thinking... It's just an opinion...

Often systems (by people or people higher up in position) deliberately devalue people so they do not compete with them and stay low... systems don't want to give to people and short-change them instead.

I could value you less than someone else even though you do more hours and less work.

Material is valued more than mental-health.

Happiness is hardly valued and could be measured as the judge for changing jobs for the better.

Devaluing nature, for example; asking yourself "how much am I worth" means you can check yourself and find any value is incorrect.

Only because food then we need X number but it's nearly unneeded and manipulated as a system 'could;' make sure ALL people is fed and watered" rather than pay more and more for little and little..

Governments can value things that favour itself- so that is the biggest danger. It could make some people work more than others typically teachers, teachers, doctors etc....

If you think your can say this better or differently please reply!

@bibliolater @histodon @histodons Consider using YouTube links like those below, instead of YouTube direct links because the 'normal' direct links have adverts and tracking code.

Your Fediverse clickers will appreciate when you use open source Invidious filtered links to get the very same content but pre-filtered to give l£$$ to BigTech and l£$$ data to Capitalism (and the 100's as advert partners etc).
⭐ Try these links for that same video ⭐ and also for your future links 🔖 Add this as bookmark 🔖 !

🔖 redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=

or a pick any server from that list like yewtu.be :

yewtu.be/watch?v=vPKaDnzCH2g

Let me know what you think and decide! Try it for a bit?

@volkris @wjmaggos @freeschool @volkris @JeffC1956

I agree, but people in groups always make stupid decisions because they are lowest common denominator.

@freemo :D Fair play - are there other sites as good or almost only Amazon that actually works best?

@freemo If you can in future post less bigtech page links I'd appreciate it or upload a pic and put name of model instead - thanks

I'll add note maybe to my profile (and you can add note to mine your side to remember) :thumbsup_hmn_h2: (worth considering for fedi, or even just me)

also related to what I just posted: qoto.org/@freeschool/112218133

"We still need to use Fediverse with less direct links to BigTech sites so they get less revenue from us here clicking links... so it's not YouTube direct links but Redirected links! 🔗 ====> redirect.invidious.io/

(it's YouTube without the tracking + ads!)
