Does it come with nicotine? Cuz that's kinda why I came in here...at least nicotine gives me a bit of a high while it slowly kills me. Rethink your new product.

I don't know why this meme had me rflmao, but it really got me. 🤣

Honestly, right wingers and elites have the short sighted and sick obsession with simply jailing whoever they don't like for various reasons.

This obsession with controlling the masses has already created the largest Prison Population per capita in the US. The result? Prisons give US capitalists a ready source of slave labor, and gives them complete control over the population at large.

This control is exerted via forcing compliance to societal norms through threat of incarceration, as well as the more obvious form of control via stripping of the autonomy of those already incarcerated.

Ultimately only narcicists and megalomaniacs and their most sycophantic bootlickers would remain free if these sick fascists had their way, and they (and the rest of us) would find themselves residing within a hell of their own creation: a truly fucked world where only the most power hungry are free...and truthfully they wouldn't actually be free.

Their lust for power would innevitably become their fetters.

Damn...this looks really good actually. I'm sad to day I never heard of cohost until now. But I'll admit I just identify with the founder's sentiments around the tech industry, and their strict adherence to moral values around how a platform like that should interact with their users. I wish their developers all the best in looking for new work.

Man this game and it's sequel were so good. We're they the best writing or gameplay I ever saw? No. But the creators had a distinct and beautiful vision and they saw it through to the end. Really sad to hear this, but yeah, this is why Streaming Gaming Platforms need to offer the Download And Play Offline feature. You bought it, it's yours. If you copy it and illegally distribute that, that's your prerogative. But ultimately, that's for you to decide, not the Gaming Platforms.

The CCP plans to me seem to be the longest game ever played. It wouldn't surprise me if their plans for world domination were centuries long by design.

Lol. 🤣 This genuinely had me lmao. Thank you.

I'll second this request. I prefer to get software through FDroid when possible. I use Stealth in combo with Libreddit currently, but this has a nice UI.

Can you recommend me more than a few hardcore leftist content creators exclusively releasing content on Odyssee?

Let yourself feel whatever you feel and observe it. Think about how you would react if you saw a close friend or family member going through that. Most kind people would say something comforting or express some form of compassion.

The most important thing to remember is that there will be lots of good and bad things that happen in life, and holding on/ruminating over the past and obsessing over/fearing the future are probably best avoided.

A little reflection and self compassion is good and healthy, but long term rumination and self loathing is when things can get unhealthy quick. Discerning when one turns into the other is difficult, but do your best and try to be self aware of how you're feeling as you navigate these truly difficult emotions.

Know that this experience, the emotions and the thoughts caught up in it, are part of what makes you human, and that ultimately, it's one of many experiences that will add up to who you are and who you'll eventually become. In every moment, you are, whether consciously or subconsciously, engaging with the world and the circumstances you find yourself in, and becoming who you want/need to be.

Be aware of that, and control what you are capable of controlling about who you want to become. It's like navigating a river, you're not completely in control nor out of control. Ultimately all you can do is try your best to get to where you want to go, knowing it won't be perfect nor will it go exactly to plan, but nevertheless you carry on.
