Yeah, I’m kinda volunteering for the mod part. In truth I think it would take the respective instance admin setting up such a thing specifically. Like create a throwaway or something so that the actual user is not propagated to other admin or the full activity pub feed being transported. The one instance admin would know and have the ability to filter or block, but that information would never escape the one server. As a mod I would be blind to actual potential bad actors and only filter at the liberal community and comments level. So basically a normal community that replaces the OP name with Anon, and never shares the real ID with anyone.

I keep seeing people go to the effort of creating a throwaway account to say or post stuff they want or need to externalize on the threadiverse. I’m willing to bet that for every person that goes to that much effort, there are likely somewhere between 10-100 people that lack an outlet and motivation to do the same. Greentext is just a mutual pretext on my part for genuinely caring about people under pressure right now and in need of an outlet in a way that is not really well supported by the fediverse or activity pub.

We are small enough here that regular names and people can hold meaning in familiarity and memorable history. Kind words and social interaction anonymously from these may hold considerably more value and meaning within this social dynamic that is not afforded elsewhere.

why label and tribalism. just be you and do you things and if that intersects with someone else or not, who cares, you’re just you as your true self. Leaving that space to find someone is silly nonsense that probably won’t work out well because that person is not the real you. Pursue your curiosities until it takes you to your happy place

Think it has a hole, a shithole, in need of a shitpost. Fucking worthless gas chamber shit is a resignation of all life rights

Close the fediverse, we already had a solution

Nice eye, expression, and the subtle details that support that direction of gaze

Drive to your local LKQ distribution center with stock and an extra $100. You won’t make it past the 3rd installer you see show up in a van before someone will take your $100 with a new windshield installed within 30 minutes. Never buy a car unless LKQ makes reproduction parts. That is where 90% of auto body repair parts come from in the USA. Anyone can walk in and pay cash too.

Abolish digital slavery and publicly code and fund the public commons with no scraping or exploitation whatsoever. Restore the rights of autonomy and self determinism required for a citizen in a democracy and people will return to the culture that existed before google won its privateer piracy charter to digitally enslave everyone in exchange for free email and search results because the US was too backwards to fund the fundamental public commons required for real democracy and was itching for slavery again at the first opportunity of going unnoticed.

You’re a god. I worship you.

I have never found someone that can say what exactly is wrong with my broken neck and back. It doesn’t even matter to me any more. I simply can’t hold posture for more than half an hour at a time, and am always in pain at noise and light sensitive levels. No one seems to know what to do with me. Like I don’t care, cause me harm under supervision and watch how I fall apart. It is blatantly obvious to anyone that actually watches me do anything physical. I REALLY want to do stuff and will throw myself into anything, but my body just fails me. It is as real as lifting weights in a gym to the point of failure. If I push way past my limits I will fail in a similar extraordinarily painful way that can take months to recover from. I did it once when a friend visited. I was on the floor of a Yard House bar flopping like a fish in tears. MRI shows nothing. It doesn’t matter how hard I push in advance to try and hurt myself thinking it will show up in the scan. The pain goes away entirely when lying flat. The time it takes to calibrate before the scan is enough for all of the discomfort to fade until I am upright again. There is no apparent way to monetize this with a scalpel. What god do I need to sacrifice to?

Do you still condemn me to hell’s hounds of social security limbo oh great authority? _/s

Biology as a technology will be our only potential long term future. All we need to do right now is access one near Earth large m-type astroid that was a planetesimal core. That would likely yield more mineral wealth than humans have accessed in the entire Holocene. Scarcity drives the present world. Planetary gravitational differentiation is a mean bitch that left us to fight over the scraps left over by eons of surface collisions. We live on the planetary flux and light junk that floats to the surface. The core of any differentiated body is quite literally the limitless treasure at the center of the Earth. If such a body is accessed, that upends scarcity and therefore all of our economic value systems. However it unlocks the wealth and resources needed to build O’Neill cylinder size cislunar habitats. Those habitats then force development of closed loop biological systems. Heat dissipation becomes the primary constraint in such a place. It actually becomes a primary currency and therefore shifts cultural values significantly. The removal of anonymous exploitation of environmental wealth due to a closed loop system like an O’Neill cylinder will be the main catalyst that makes the present look as backwards and primitive as the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, or Han Chinese of 2k+ years ago. We can build O’Neill cylinders up to 9.1 × 30 kilometers based on materials science of the 1970s. The main thing stopping us is access to resources and political will. A single m-type astroid with an Apollo program size effort is all it takes to enter a new epic that dwarfs the present.

I’m simply questioning my childish assumption that catastrophic mega events are relegated to the past. The assumption is based on the scopes of the existence of complex extant life and the relative calm of the present Holocene. I grew into the perception that mega events were of a bygone era because geologic time is not intuitive to children, and until recently I have not had the casual curiosity to expand my awareness and question said assumptions.

The existence of protohumans up to the present seemed grounded in some underlying truth of ongoing stability that now seems totally at odds with geological reality and timescales. The question here is grasping at straws in a way; hoping that perhaps this connection is wrong as I realize the finite potential of complex life as it exists presently.

I mean in all likelihood we have tens of millions of years and an ice age or two before a true mega event pushes life into much simpler forms from the immense pressure of planetary cataclysm. If we manage to master biology as an engineering field, we may escape such a planetary bound fate in the distant future, but as long as we are trapped in this planetary gravity prison, we are perpetually sentenced to death row by the judge of geologic time.

In other words I’m realizing the full extent of geology as a study of the future where no event present is relegated to the past. My mind then races to questions of what it would be like and the building signs of eminent cataclysm. I do not mean this like the emotional hype doomsday psychosis nonsense in clickbait media or the discovery channel. I mean more like from a hard science fiction (extremely amateur hobbyist) writers perspective. Even if most of humanity migrates to cislunar space or elsewhere, there will likely be a large population present on the planet. How that plays out across generations and how diversity of life is valued becomes interesting to me under the premise of biology as a fully mastered engineering field.

Of course it is mostly speculative within my interests and curiosities. Still I think there are a lot of people that share the assumption that the geologic past is not the future; that something fundamentally has changed; that we are masters of our own fate where we are the greatest and only risk to ourselves in perpetuity, perhaps only short of an astroid impact of sufficient magnitude.

Ah yes the Boom Boom Boomer Plan

It is a question about the evolution of planetary cooling. Obviously, the Earth is not going to spontaneously return to molten Earth on the surface short of an external cataclysmic encounter. Eventually it will cool to near absolute zero if it survives Sol’s demise. There must be phases to that evolutionary path and a timeline specific to vulcanism but also in other areas.

Dude does anything for a spotlight so even this hitting news is a positive validating his relevancy

I have no skin in this, but VC is involved with Bambu, as I understand things. That never goes well for consumers. They backpedaled to slow down the path to closed garden exploitation, but took no steps to open source or sell a legitimate product that can be owned. The solution is unplug it from the internet cause we gonna do what we gonna do ^{(fu fu)}

Build a Voron and own it for life. I know the excuses, but burning ownership-money, only to rent what someone else controls is mental. In the big picture, that is willingly selling your right to citizenship for neo feudalism as a slave to an overlord. It really is that simple. Normalizing that dystopia hurts everyone else too. But hey you do you. I’m happy for ya if that is your cup of tea.
