what happens when you switch the setup and the punchline?

@tifawt @skelltan @CornishRepublicanArmy @DissidentKitty eshpaniardsh is my favorite. see they all speak different horrible versions of spanish depending on where theyre from.

they should speak spanish normally, like we do in latin america

@skelltan @CornishRepublicanArmy @DissidentKitty spaniards are the worst at spanish. this is known

no i cannot remember what you said 5 seconds ago but i do remember how i made you a little uncomfortable 3 years ago at a taco bell by saying something without thinking

hey, y'all youngsters out there refusing to let the status quo turn you cynical af about everything and anything?

you're punk af and I 💜 you. thanks for sprucing up the place.

(i dont know why i felt compelled to add this; so is like everyone else on this site lol)

to insist that selfishness is human nature is a capitalist lie. we have proof that early humans took care of members of their society who would be considered "useless" regardless of their inability to contribute in a typical way. there are skeletons from early humans that show signs of disabilities that would have prevented them from contributing through typical means but who lived to old age and were clearly respected members of their societies

I love meeting new furries on Mastodon.

@DissidentKitty you should also definitely *not* try to get your textbooks on Library Genesis, which can be found here http://gen.lib.rus.ec/

@bryceyoungquist @DissidentKitty Al Kwarizmi, by the way, was the first exposure any Europeans had to the mathematical concept of “the number zero” and it freaked their fuckin beans. The kingdom of Florence actually banned the use of Arabic numbers to keep merchants from exploiting tax collectors with their sinister “zero”

the best competitive mtg player is Dana Fischer, hands down.

"is it because she's 9" yes it's because she's 9, I'm here for the enthusiasm and I'm here for watching fully grown adults getting beat by a 9yo, next question

So, there's this concept of "implicit feudalism" in online communities. Essentially, the vast majority of online communities - from old-school forums, to facebook groups, to large platforms like Twitter and Facebook themselves, even to fediverse instances - they're all run as dictatorships by default. It's built into the software - you'll have a top admin who has full, unconstrained power, they might delegate mods who have some limited powers, and anyone else has to listen to what these dictators and lords tell them. We talk about "federating" here in the fediverse, but each individual community - as far as I'm aware of - is a little dictatorship. A federation of dictatorships is not a free society, anymore than the UN, an international body composed of "liberal democracies" and authoritarian regimes is truly democratic. We need a way to start governing online communities through actual forms of democracy.
