My neighbor up the road shot all his dairy cows 20 years ago. He couldn’t afford to keep them. There basically aren’t any ‘small dairy farms’ left, other than vanity or artisanal operations. But sure we should base policy around myths rather than reality.

This is a person who’s mission, every day, is how to make the world shittier for everyone. He asks himself, over his breakfast of Cap’n Crunch and a juice box, ‘how can I fuck things up today?’

I only use cash at the pot store.

Eventually this will settle out to three streaming platforms, call them 'ABC, CBS, NBC'', with shitty ad-filled shitcoms, fake reality dramadies, and tru-crime idiocy, all generated by ai. Your screen will provide the necessary data back to the ai models to keep your gaze fixated and your credit maxed out. You will be consumed. You are the commodity.

In other news Taylor Swift will sell her 2023 tour as data for the TS2023 Virtual Experience, which will play globally for all eternity everywhere.

For the contempt charge that is likely to come his way, not for the felonies he has already been and soon will be charged with. But also I think it would absolutely drive him insane. He would continually violate the terms by using proxies, so the judge would have to restrict all visitors and put them under gag orders too. It would be bat shit crazy.

House arrest with no internet or phone.

The actual ‘rural’ population of the us represents 18% of the population. So the theory that ‘rural vs urban’ is the defining demographic of the political division in this country has a math problem.

If I’m not sure, does that mean I am a bot?

I point out why this is wrong but I suspect it wouldn’t help.

Austin has been a tech center since the 80s.

Centrists in a fascist era are simply part of the fascist movement.

Ok. It’s been nice. I’ll find a new instance.

Uh what? I just posted actual original content, that being the change I’d like to see.

Why are people claiming that Lemmy is just a ‘link aggregator’? It doesn’t have to be.

Woke now means, in rightwing gibberish, anything you disagree with.

Democrats virtue signal, republicans asshole signal.

Ok so I did a small bit of research and found optimistic estimates from groups promoting this of $800kg. You can’t just throw shit at earth, you have to put it down safely. In reality what makes sense is manufacturing stuff that you then don’t have to bring up to the moon, or to mars, or anywhere else off of earth. You build it on the moon instead.

Cheap labor was China’s foot in the door 30 years ago. Now they instead compete at the highest levels. It is very similar to how Japan and South Korea developed their modern economies.

Why? If it is in fact cost efficient the Chinese will be there too and will do it better at lower cost.

Also illustrators for newspapers - as the tech for mechanical reproduction made it possible to put photographs into newspapers and magazines most of those jobs disappeared.

I think the shipping costs between earth and moon are ridiculous. Moon manufacturing only makes sense for supplying moon bases and transportation to other planets.
