Hey XNO bro, I thought it was the perfect token for what you were talking about.

I jave a bunch of XNO, any creatives taking them ? Might as well "gift" them away.

All the fucking time, I'm older and just have very little to do with them, comes a stage when you just don't want to excuse their shit anymore.

But I own my own house at the other end of the country, so there is that.

"Family" are people I share a philosophy with on how to treat other people, each other and treat the planet . I have little to nothing in common philosophically with people I shared some random genetic materail with.

I'd quit stop using Reddit quite some tine ago, mostly a philosophical thing. Saw on Mastodon mention about a Reddit (aka Usenet 2.0) like replacement on Lemmy so, here I am.

I had been using Boost on Reddit, so I grabbed that as well as play with other apps like Jerboa, Raccoon.

I'm reminded of Harry Patch

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/aug/01/first-world-war-harry-patch

Mr Patch, a Passchendaele survivor, thought all war was organised murder and refused to talk about it at all until a few years before he died,

ActivityPub or Lemmy ? Mastodon and use hastags and theres plenty out there, I've never even browsed the local feed of my Mastodon Instance. Because of ActivityPub there can be some interaction with Lemmy that way as well

I just browse All on Lemmy and that leads to occasional small local communities on other instances.of interest.

Like, Joan of Arc, the Knights Templar blaj blah blah, let alone the Spanish inquisitions and various macelvelian Popes

Bookwyrm on the Fediverse ?

https://bookwyrm.social/

In this release, 'migrants' refers to people who have arrived in Australia since January 2000, and includes permanent migrants who have become Australian citizens during this period.

Is that a peculiar way to be refered to. When is an Australian citizen not a migrant ?

Yeah that 'average salary' is lies damned lies and statistics

Only if you don't understand the difference between avergae (mean) and median. A kid working at Maccas twice a week can skew the diffeence as much as the repugnant wage paid to the Macquaire Bank CEO.

and are generally classified as shit areas as a result.

But that's subjective yeah ? I'm hear visiting my 83yr old mother on the Sunshine Coast over Christmas, this place is to me a literal "shit hole". It's mostly a sprawling mess of hot terrible housing with acres of concrete and asphalt with a car needed to do anything and zero redeeming qualities. For a few days prior I visited my sister in Brisbane, another sprawling mess of hot terrible housing with zero redeeming features.

I used to live in an apartment I owned on the 10th floor with an ocean view on the Gold Coast, cool beezes, a walk to swimmable broadwater and a tram and train were some compensation.

The tiny rural town in Tasmania I now live in to me is comparative nirvana. There are basic houses near me for sale starting with a 3 and quite nice ones starting with a 4. We have a little van, as for sure u need a car occasionally but we mostly walk or cycke. I filled it up in August and it's still on 1/2 a tank.

Why could they not go to Ukraine if they wanted to actually fight for freedom, instead of taking up arms with the idf..of all the repugnant orgisnations to join, this ranks up with Isis, to glorify violence and helping make the world a worse place.

Let's hope they're treated like Isis recruits and if granted Israeli citizenship, forever denied travel visas to Australia

You forgot the last part, people will flock to it. /s

Likely more introverted and make the world a better place for most but Canada and Mexico might be in trouble. Eg here in Australia you'd hope we kick all the US bases out of Australia, which were a bad fucking idea in the first place.

The externalising of the shit show of inevitable consequence of being a dictatorship might be a neighbiir issue eg instead of just rhetoric about those damn immigrants, invade Mexico to sure up the borders. One hopes the rest of the world would rally behind Mexico, except perhaps like minded "bros" like Russia, Hungary, North korea, Vietnam, Camboida, Myanmar etc etc.

Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.

I'd not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)

You know you're going to die right ? How do you deal with that ? Philosophically, Stoicism has some of what I need for coping.

I'd also suggest that journalism is mostly interlectual trash that clutters your mind. Really important events will find their way to you.

An example, I'm not an American (i did live there back in the mid 1990s, before I relaised it wasn't for me) and I will likely Vote Green until I die. I'd prefer a livable biospbere and little better treament of minorities. Others prefer the opposite but their entreaties to get me to think their way won't work so why would I bother listening?

Journalism isnt really about reporting "news" but selling advertising.

How and who would you compile such a list and what does it bring? I guess it would provide us with more entertainment watching the ensueing squabbles. eg I'm an aethiest, green, anarchist, cis, old white guy. If i had a bug up my arse, the beauty is I can start my own instance.

That said, a lot of people, including myself most times, have zero interest in my views.

I met my wife on a porn site

You cant leave us hanging like this, should they make it into a Hallmark movie ? Performer? was she a performer or were you, both ? Or both just fellow connisuers?

No,.well not noticeable for me, ths diffeeence is in the UI.

What fucking communication is there to get right on being greedy money hungry bastards?

A cost of cash conversation. Trying to cover the ever increasing cost per traansactiin for the small nunber of cash transactiins and possibly preempt the RBA stopping them milking so much from credit/debit fees where they can recover costs

As to being money hungry we're in a neo liberal, capatilist economic system. They're supposed to be money hungry, it's how we incentivise. If you want more government oversite, or government institutions competing, you'll need to stop voting LNP or ALP and start voting Green. Until then, more of the same. Less competition and more enshitifaction is the only outcome possible as this continues..

No worries, I'll go into the Aldi near me in Tasmania.. Oh, wait....
