TBH I don't fear death. I fear getting old enough that I'm disabled and can no longer be independent. I've seen how our society treats disabled people.

Not sure if this restaurant is trying to construct a graph or just do something with all their leftover corks, but I would like all of my graphs to be plotted this way from now on.

Too many Americans are not taking this new Trump presidency seriously

This was a sobering time that people seem to forget.

It’s been awhile since I spoke about Fediverse development. But since yet another project is experiencing drama, some thoughts:

For any Fedi project to gain traction, you need a team. This team needs to be aware of a real problem, how to solve it, and be aligned in the solution.

Anyone building such a project must be willing to set aside differences, forgive disagreements, not let perfect be the enemy of good.

You also need to figure out problems of scale. Namely, how to move from “A” to “B” to “C” without breaking everything.

You also need to respect QA, community managers, and—yes, that dreaded word everyone in the Fediverse hates—marketers.

Finally, the most challenging part: you need to be willing to go against the status quo. And along with it, the Homeowners Association of the Fediverse.

1076年、叙任権を巡ってローマ王ハインリヒ4世と対立したローマ教皇グレゴリウス7世は、ハインリヒ4世に破門を宣告した。かねてよりドイツ諸侯から反感を買っていたハインリヒ4世は、この破門によって孤立。翌1077年、ハインリヒ4世は雪の降るカノッサ城の門前にて3日にわたって跪き、トリミングしたばかりのぷりぷりした犬の尻の動画を教皇に請うた。これをカノッサの屈辱という。

Muy buenas, fedinautes. Nos vendría bien algo de fediayuda.

Este viernes nos llegó la resolución que otorga a hijo pequeño un 33% de discapacidad. Con esto pasamos a ser familia numerosa. Tenemos cita con la asistente social al febrero para que nos explique los beneficios que representa, aunque una amiga nos va a ayudar a avanzar cosas.

Quienes ya hayáis pasado por esto, ¿nos podéis indicar cosas que no debemos dejar pasar?

Just a random note:

"Ad Hominem" is a logical fallacy in which they dismiss the argument by addressing the person not the argument.

Ad Hominem is not calling the person a douchebag while addressing the points of the argument.

Ad Hominem is saying those points should be dismissed [em]because[/em] they are a douchebag.

It's thrown around (improperly) often by people who want to basically say "you've lost the argument because you're angry" but what to add elitism on top of entitlement.

Easy test: if you can remove all the insults from the argument and it still makes sense, then it's not Ad Hominem.

Why is the Tangerine Tyrant threatening to impose tariffs on the EU if they don't expand their purchases of US oil & LNG, when Ursula van Leyden has already said that is what they expect to do & the pivot from Russian supplies is already under way?

The answer is; few American voters read news on the EU, so as they purchases grow, they will see it as the result of Trump's threat & accord him the responsibility for raising exports & decreasing the trade deficit....

Its all about optics!
