  • Belief That the End of The World is Coming Spawns TikTok Frenzy Called 'RaptureTok': What to Know

    Jump

  • Also generations.

    Old folk like me have lived through several end of the world predictions ..... I really don't care any more.

    But new young generations haven't so they are more likely to believe them ... like I did the first few times it happened.

    (and if you're wondering when I first believed those predictions, they were mostly before my tenth birthday when several predictions said either Jesus was coming back or nuclear war was about to happen ... all things I believed because adults said so)

    ..... a funny thought experiment is to think that the world did end 20, 30 or 40 years ago and this is all the afterlife .... we just don't know it.

  • Money, no matter how much of it you have or believe you have is only as valuable as everyone believes it to be.

    It's a modern day religion.

    As soon as enough people lose faith in it, money becomes absolutely worthless.

    You could get to the point of saying you own all the money ..... but if no one believes the money had any value any more, all that money no longer matters.

    Wealth exists because we all believe in this world wide system of money and finance. If enough people stop believing or investing in it, all that wealth instantly disappears.

  • Also Worf has a Russian background on earth, so I don't think his family would have enjoyed celebrating Octoberfest.

  • Yes let's do that ..... by stop talking about him, forget him entirely and focus all our attention on the fascists still around.

  • What are the largest PeerTube instances?

    Jump

  • I think a better way to decide on an instance is reliability.

    What is the instance, where is it based, who runs it. I don't mean to completely dox people but they should provide some meaningful background info to legitimate themselves.

    Personally I wouldn't trust instances run by individuals unless I knew the people personally and I could talk to them. Otherwise you will always run the risk of leaving your content in the hands of someone who may or may not want to continue running their instance.

    Is it run by a single individual, a group or an organization? I'd rather trust a group or organization and the more info they gave about themselves and their team and messaging the better. A group or organization is less likely to fall apart if any one person decides to quit.

    A well organized group who know how to raise and maintain funds will also be less likely to fail.

    And the user themselves have to make themselves responsible as well. Once you find a reliable instance that you like .... give them money, support them, donate to them. The whole system needs money to operate and the people who make it work should be paid for their time and effort. If we all paid a little for every little bit of the fediverse we use, the more reliable and stable it will all become. The little bit we pay to every little instance we use will mean that it will be less likely to devolve back into a monolithic centralized corporation that controls everything all over again.

  • Where did you learn everything you needed to know about online discourse?

  • Making as many mistakes, missteps, misunderstandings, misconceptions and misses as possible.

  • The data doesn’t back up Trump’s claims that the left is more violent

    Jump

  • Cowards

    It's like the schoolyard bully ... they love picking on kids smaller and weaker than they are but fall and fold to the ground in a fetal position and start crying when someone stands up to them.

    And just like schoolyard mentalities ... the bully is only as strong as the whole school makes them - meaning that if the entire school just stands around and says and does nothing, the bully always wins.

  • Yes, Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was government censorship

    Jump

  • During the Biden years they had dozens of prominent right wing talk shows that are still around that regularly just pump out the nastiest shit to either make light of, diminish or dismiss the deaths of many people. No one ever said a thing about those aholes.

    A right winger is killed by another right winger and the government goes and blames an imagined left and use it as an excuse to censor everyone.

    What a bunch of whiny idiots.

  • I wouldn't worry about it .... evolution is all about the survival of the luckiest and most fortunate

    Sure it is survival of the fittest, strongest and most capable ... but often through earth's history .. survival is more often left to the survivors, the lucky few who were just fortunate to survive.

  • With my dictatorial powers .... my first action would be to seize and outlaw extreme wealth. No one would be allowed to own more than $1 million.

    All the money collected would be used for government and providing a Universal Basic Income for everyone.
