UFC Conor McGregor saying he is running for #president of Ireland
@Ulfh3dnar Wow I remember #UFC Conor McGregor saying he is running for #president of Ireland maybe that was end of 2023... Wow
I like someone that tries for what he says like that and wild / new in constructive / reconstructive way!
He said it maybe two years ago (someone correct me) could be after the immigration thing in Nov 2023 where the country was accepting boats of people and allegedly disrupting the peace deliberately to undermine existing expensive labour or population (I say this in short, might not be totally true but a pattern happening using even immigrants to do bad, just terrible manipulation by existing #leaders).
#ConorMcGregor - If you have seen more of him, then it can be erratic but I think that's the nature of life today also (not just drinking)...
He says and does a lot, and seem better than anyone else in leadership so why not?
What do you think of words in speech ? I like them... presentation is too strict and maybe not his older self but still waaay above many people in being honest / direct.
With or without God I think that's a better spirit than most (if not all the existing hidden fake #politicians / #leadership_
#Ireland and elsewhere...

Let me know what you think if you have watched UFC "from day 1..." (seen a lot prior to this video or announcement post, which you can see if you click this...)
P.S correction JUST saw on #Wikipedia he's no longer on UFC roster (but for a long time was doing his own thing) AUG 2025 so kind just now.
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Conor McGregor announced that he is running for president of Ireland.

@garyackerman spelling and grammar here in this post (click to check and re-post)
Building the people up, on top of Tech...
@garyackerman This is a good post for Mastodon or Twitter because "Social presence isn’t community." is a good quote here by #GaryAckerman.
Any #platform and people that aren't really building actively, with people daily, and personally, remains "just another platform" or "slightly better" version of #Twitter and *never* quite a movement that way with people towards training to respect each other / learning what that means / dedicating themselves more than distracting themselves via #SocialMedia and the same imported stuff elsewhere / #mainstream.
The point is: rather than people making personal things and improve or work together / merge things, they would rather you are over there and they here... never to question themselves or be questioned by others towards #freedom or similar things which finger can be put on... if willing to #learn.
So the #tech is there but not the will of people building *each other up* (not waiting for #Trump or another magic way, just to do it themselves #DIY).
Many DO NOT want to do much of this building personally or being responsible (even with what they #like and #love) and that is almost the #reason why we have #war or others doing #wars for us exist because FRANKLY we can't make #FRIENDS (with anyone!) and can't maintain anything more than an aesthetic on or offline (you would think it's easier online even to pretend since it's more distant). And job and colleagues are often not deep friends or can't be under contract, so even they can come and go as the work does! If you ever leave your work or made redundant you'll soon realise this and what "friend: can mean in modern day disposable life.
Basic #Friendships for the way - but it's not on the agenda for most - to make the world less about strangers and more about work with them. Friends eventually and each at their own definition I think is possible.
@garyackerman I'm not sure what you are saying / inferring - why is it too infrequent?
If you agree language as ambiguous (often personal AND multi-meaning words / contexts and used differently) then actually more often this would be a useful 'tool' to ask and balance much of that ambiguity.
There doesn't seem another accurate way other than assume the words and combinations people are using,..
While many simple things are seeminly not needed or as important (like talking about objects)... in the end it actually all might be when talking about people, projects and feelings !
I'd like a response to this comment.
Thanks.
@garyackerman Please add Wikipedia links to what you mean :)
Oxford commas (aka serial comma / series comma) below!
“Who benefits if things don’t change?” is a question that leads to important insight #leadership #management
Cheap, Fast, and Good: (Choose only 2)
Cheap, Fast, and Good: (Choose only 2)
I think these words may not match but it serves well as food for thought...
Speed and Quality can come at a price, so it's difficult if doing anything will meaning and complexity.
Skilled labour is a cost etc. For just you might be ok, but when it comes to serving and maintaining servuce for others it's not always something you can fix all by yourself (though ideally I think this would be good).

An "End of life" or Outro pic to life... maybe mine.
This seemed like a good picture to die to / say goodbye / fade etc.
Add yours here in reply if you want...
It's kinda warm, sets the scene, kinda doesn't say much (which bugs me!) but the end-of-episode type of screenshot seems to override saying anything political / personal. Maybe because "IT'S THE #SUN!" and that's always good and perhaps political enough as a warm glow that looks after things...

#Mastobay HASHTAG FOR EXCHANGE / GIVEAWAY / GIFT ECONOMY...
@faab64 Why doesn't somebody make a Mastodon style light version of #ebay for our #community I wonder!
Maybe the hashtag #Mastobay is enough!
Trust is pretty high here (more intellectuals doing things safer) and to start with could even be for the older members using the hashtag.
People are promoting their art using #MastoArt so "#Mastobay" etc could be possible for more...
Anyway let's start with some small things as a test:
for #free #network to many
for #exchange / #givaway
for #gifteconomy
NO money said or privately DM's only to avoid the public money regulation)
"#Mastobay" could be just something we talk about using hashtag until we take it more seriously!
What do you think?
GO #GRETA FOR #FREEDOM / PRINCIPLES! #FreedomFlotilla isn't #perfect but it is something!...
🎵 RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! 🎵
@faab64 So I still didn't get the connection with someone buying a used hoover (which I'm sure many know they can also get a new for cheap in any shop) and then the mention of the seasonal work as the answer... (?) I didn't get that connection, sorry.
Interesting site you mention though. Only in France I guess.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
