Everyone has a vested interest in 50% of the population feeling good about the other half. And certainly we should all feel safer about being with fellow humans than with a bear. The fact that some of us don’t feel that way means we should try to make them feel safer.

Thanks for the post. Does anyone have advice on how to become a moderator?

I still have a checkbook for the occasional handy man that doesn’t want cash or transfer. I’m pretty sure most apps take a cut from business accounts, and others will report to the IRS when you make a certain amount, so for some workers it makes sense to avoid the apps.

Zelle is somehow the one that is usually free and does not report, but my credit union has a daily limit for Zelle transfers, so if the bill is larger, I offer payment in check as an alternative to cash since it’s safer.

Any idea on why unmanic was not performing well? If it’s unrelated to ffmpeg, you could try tdarr.

I think the generalization isn’t really about white men per se, but about the demographic in power. Give a group unchecked power long enough and they forget how that came to be. I agree that it’s not a rule, and maybe should be expressed as more of a heuristic: if you are speaking to someone that is in power, and you don’t look like them, they might think you are not empowered.

Don’t let the lack of nuance in that statement take away from all the very valid points being made. The plight is real, and hopefully the white men who are enlightened enough to not confuse circumstance with natural order will read and know to not take it personally.

Yes, please elaborate. I can’t tell if I agree or not.

Just curious, what’s the site called?

Not necessarily, communist governments sound a lot like the application of force and control over resources because smaller communities are not trusted to do it fairly.

Thanks, hadn’t seen the Pinocchio unit of measure before but she apparently earned 🤥🤥🤥🤥.

I think the show does a good job at showing how easy it is for Dale and Bill to swap too. Just recently watched the episode where they basically end up in a ditch because they didn’t really know how to use a digger - it’s hard to tell who is dragging down who.

That’s not entirely true. The publisher can still set some rules around what they want to allow, like no gambling, etc.

We judge ourselves by our motives, but others by their actions.
