   Except for activists at the local level, pretty much nobody got in their way.

   In fact, the Democratic Party, still cowering in the shadow of Reagan and butt hurt over being rejected by white voters, went out of their way to help Republicans and their wealthy patrons consolidate media under their control. Deregulation, baby.

   Not to mention turning cops into a militarized occupation force at home, armed with special powers via the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror."

   So let us get to it, let's talk about whether or not Bluesky can scale *down* in a meaningful way.

   In my last essay I made assertions that this was important for decentralization and said ATProto wasn't great for this, and this was one thing people challenged me on

   So let's take a look!

   I don't remember a single interchange with you that has "worked" or was productive in any way.

   In any case, I have given plenty of reasons as to why this platform should be changed, either by the original developers of by others:

   1. There's no evidence that the excessively restrictive measures help.
   2. There are plenty of examples where the restrictions hinder meaningful interactions.
   3. It drives people away, demonstrably.

   The idea that everything hinges on my proving that the lack of restrictions are not harmful in any way (i.e. proving a negative) is just something you have invented and are obsessed with.

   Road Rash™ Copyright Electronic Arts 1991-96

   We hope you find Road Rash as entertaining as we do. Games are a great way to act out fantasies in a virtual environment where no one gets hurt.

   The game is meant for entertainment purposes only. Events in the game and in the video are fantasy and are not meant to model reality in any way.

   In the real world, if you run from the police you'll go to jail; if you ride recklessly and fall off your bike, you might not get back up. There's only one place for racing: a closed-circuit race track. There's only one way to ride: within the limits of your abilities and with full protective gear.
   Use your head.

   1/ For four long years, the New York Times has been spreading vicious lies about the purportedly natural origin of Covid.
   But it wasn't always this way.

   In a 2012 editorial titled "An Engineered Doomsday," the paper argued that Fauci-funded gain-of-function experiments not only had to stop but also that viruses already created in labs needed to be destroyed.

   Some highlights (which will make you fall off your chair):

   But you know, this is the thing that has struck me recently.

   Yeah, I tried to "boy really hard" and ironically, that was a part of the process of me realizing that I fucking hated being a boy and I'd rather be taking a peaceful dirt nap than living the rest of my life that way.

   In a very real sense, learning that being boy/man/masculine identified/etc. was a misery inducing affair for me was very much a part of the process of me understanding that I'm female.

   They are entwined.
