The hot take that was so bad you had to post it twice.
A lot of folks don’t use Spotify at all. Myself included. I listen to a lot of podcasts, including Midas touch.
Why would I pay for audio, when I’m a fan of FOSS. And there’s a number of free alternatives?
Following the 1932 Prussian coup d’état and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, transgender movements, gathering places and institutions, such as the first homosexual movement, the Eldorado nightclubs, and the Institute for Sexual Science were dissolved, often by force. Both trans men and trans women were targeted under renewed enforcement of Paragraphs 175 and 183, and their transvestite passes were revoked or simply ignored. Books and texts relating to transgender experiences or medicine were destroyed as “un-German”.
First of all, you are conflating forced experimentation with consensual medication.
Second, you are discounting what is happening in the United States right now, and what happened at the beginning of Nazi Germany.
Finally, I’m curious how you feel about plastic pollution. Because it’s hurting children. HRT is not.
But bigots always are pretty mum on plastics and vocal about HRT, so I’m curious what your position is.
You support genocide then.
It is, it’s also unlikely.
It depends on how you define addiction.
They create physical withdrawal. But they’re not habit-forming as they have no direct action on dopamine.
So… as physically addictive as coffee and less psychologically addictive than television.
Anyway, they’re easy to get off of if you switch to one with a long half life (prozac) and taper from there. Easier to give up than caffeine. Or TV.
I believe they’d have to reschedule cannabis federally to tax it.
I would be asking for a year of salary up front, in addition to my regular paycheck.
Because there is no way in hell I would trust this jackal with my job security.
Stop trying to debate this Nazi y’all.
Here’s another gem they posted. This one concerning genocide and AI.
Good for Israel! Thanks Microsoft, the one good thing you’ve done recently
That’s a really strange way to say Hi Lemmy, I’m a fucking Nazi!
But you do you.
They also are aiming for extra territoriality so they can dodge regulations. Especially concerning weapons research, biotechnology, and medical advancements. With the ultimate goal to extend their own lifespans and out evolve the rest of us.
They being tech fascists such as Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
If approved by voters in the town’s proposed area, the base would become a Type C municipality, defined as less than two square miles with 200 to 5,000 residents. Type C municipalities use a commission form of government with a mayor and two commissioners; the petition notes that SpaceX’s security manager, Gunnar Milburn, is the sole candidate for mayor.
The petition required at least 10% of potential residents to sign, and a simple majority is required in the election to create the new city. The petition had just over 70 signatures and an affidavit attached to the judge’s order showed just under 500 people living in the area, including almost 120 children.
Almost all of the signatures on the petitions were by people with addresses the affidavit marked as residences of SpaceX employees.
The affidavit also states that SpaceX owns almost all of the homes; just four homes listed in the affidavit are not owned by SpaceX, which also owns all of the land within the prospective city’s footprint, “with only a few exceptions.”
Emphasis mine. Note, that’s one step toward extra-territoriality for all my cyberpunk fans(?).
I mean, he built all of those rockets. We could just point one at Mars, strap him into it, and call it good.
I don’t care who gets blamed because it’s unlikely we’ll have more, fair(ish) elections.
I just want the dems to slow down fascism long enough the working class has the chance to wake up, organize, and strike.
By design.
The duopoly has been spreading anti worker (i.e. anti-left) propaganda since the end of WW2. And the enlightened centrists (i.e. the Dems) you have been absolutely complicit in this.
The leftist platform, is hugely popular with voters. Stuff like single-payer healthcare. But not popular with the corporate owners of the duopoly.
So it has nothing to do with the left not having a platform. And everything to do with the center and the right keeping left platforms off the table.
Because he’s a mobster that threatens people that don’t do what he tells them.
Folks as a whole, really aren’t that concerned with trans people. The anti-trans attack ads that Trump ran didn’t really move the needle much.
The folks that you think are people in general, are just loud fucking bigots who want to see me dead.
Hospitals are fearful that if they don’t comply with Trump’s orders they will face Trump’s aggression. That’s why they are rolling over. They are fawning, it’s a fear response.
If your male, spend the next 6 months wearing women’s clothes and come back here and tell me if no one cares.
I started socially transitioning over the summer, and trust me I got lots of microaggressions. With a fascist in the White House, I am fearful for my life.
Hate crime related murder during his last administration was a 28-year high. And this round folks are even more emboldened because of his pardons.
And if no one really cares, why all the anti-trans laws?
It’s actually about deregulating biotech and medical technology. So they can run experiments on their wage slaves and figure out how to outlive the rest of us.
Instead of scrolling down and seeing your response, I posted the same web page.
Cyberpunk future. That’s what they want. Corporate feudalism. Unregulated biotech and medical research. So they can outlive the rest of us. While we all become their wage slaves.
It’s a conspiracy, to destroy government regulations and set up corporate sovereignty. I.e. corporate feudalism, tech fascism, and a cyberpunk future. For those of us that survive anyway.
They’re already present in several countries. The Network State.
Considering there’s many podcast platforms, and Joe Rogan is only on one. Looking at just Spotify statistics is the worst way to tell what the overall statistics look like.
