Very interesting argument! I've thought a lot about this myself. If i can distill my thoughts into a single line it would be:

I exist, that is enough evidence for me to believe i will exist again.

From that i can expand and say it could be in another form. It could be me but a different life. It could be exactly the same again.

I do agree, if you believe in something rather than nothing you should believe in reincarnation.

Indeed! There are endless possibilities! It's fascinating to think about. One hypothesis i like is about the expansion of the universe.

If energy and gravity are balenced the expansion of the universe stops as you approach infinity which leads to the heat death of the universe.

If there's too much energy, gravity is unable to pull things back together and the expansion starts accelerating towards light speed. This is The Big Rip where atoms cannot hold each other together and the fabric of the universe is torn apart.

I prefer the scenario where gravity wins. Where everything in the universe is pulled back to a singularity. Probably creating a period where everything was very hot and dense before is suddernly expanding and cooling. So the cycle begins again?

Or idk, maybe the universe is stable and it's something completely different! I'm open to changing views depending on evidence and proof.

In any case it still leaves unanswered questions but it's enough to satisy me for now lol

You can always move the goalposts.

SNP consistantly make it clear in their manifesto a vote for them is a vote for independance.

One of the main propanganda points of the 2014 election was that an independant Scotland may not be allowed back in the EU, but then the UK left the EU anyway against Scotlands wishes only 2 years later.

A generation is defined as 15-30 years. I would certainly expect serious discussions about another referendum around 2030.

Oh no! This happened to me too! Is this a coordinated attack? 😱

I made the switch to IPVN and it's felt exactly the same. Maybe even better. Same price. Servers in multiple locations. Allows routing through 2 VPN servers. No logs. No money going to racist ideology.

Mullvad can claim whatever they like about their values, but they are a for-profit company. The profits of the company are being used to fund racial segregation. If they believe in their values they'll switch to a non-profit foundation. Until that time they can get fucked!

Of course you would. I probably would too. It's life changing money. But the morality of these 'challenges' is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮

Sorry but community gardening as a solution is one of the worst I've heard. It's very hard to achieve the same level of scale and efficiancy that large farms do with these small gardens. For instance, I see no machinery in this picture. Are we really wanting to go back to the days where farming is done by hand?

Sure it's good for the soul to get together and grow things but as a means to feed society it's just not viable.

Do you really think a small group of farmers is ungovernable? Peasant farmers have been exploited for pretty much the entire history of humanity!

Ungovernable means civil disobedience, it means sabotage. It does mean building community, but if your community only wants to farm, remember to pay the king after the harvest.

Fuck Mullvad

It's pretty mental! What do they mean their internal systems were compromised but everything's fine. Not even any downtime??

It feels like OpenAI removed guardrails, gave an agent a path to internet access and said attack HuggingFace. At the same time HuggingFace left some vulnerabilities on a machine in a sandbox and waited for OpenAI to arrive.

Still impressive that agents can to that now but the hole thing stinks of marketing. I reckon unless HF sues OpenAI it was planned from the start lol

Horrendous. Thanks.

But the profits of the company are being used to fund that political party. If people cancel their subscription the Mullvad CEO will earn less money and won't be able to spend as much funding racial segregation. You should vote with your wallet as much as possible.

Fucking hell racism will hide anything. Guess what now protesting with a mask is a crime. Just in time for all this lovely AI facial recognition that's being rolled out. Just in time for the first nukes to fall. Strap in folks. It's gonna get bumpy.

The world needs more people like you! Huge thanks for all the work you're doing!

I agree with your assessment. Jolla is a for-profit company and the time will come when they sacrifice privacy and openness and sell their customers to the highest bidder.

We cannot rely on android forever. PostmarketOS looks very exciting. Looking forward to seeing it grow. Keep up the good work!

Would highly recommend the full doc that shows why Big Wind was made - Fires of Kuwait (1992) [36:05]

Click the link. The video is crazy! 10 minutes of the CEO saying if they want a union they can have a union. 70% of workers want a union.

Extremely disappointing from a non-profit organisation. They're wasting money by not voluntarily recognising. Fuck Jimmy Wales for hiring union busting lawyers. Need to host it elsewhere!

Nope they're owned by a single person. I hope he'll be more responsible. If you know of any non-profit vpn providers let me know! Happy to switch again

Yeeeeessssss! Great news! Thanks for sharing!

It drives me mad that google was built on users sharing their experiences and data all for google to keep it for themselves. Very excited to see how the open mapping community develops in the coming years! Will definitely help!

Damn, that really does sound like a tough situation. You deserve better.

You sound like a caring person who is working extremely hard to provide for their family. Working a demanding job like that and coming home to a hostile environment is so hard. There's no respite. There's no peace.

Online interaction is weird. It's much harder to understand intent through text than through speech. Do you have irl friends? Could you meet people irl through hobbies/shared interests?

We all die in the end. Living in suffering waiting for it to happen is not a pleasant way to be. Fuck what other people think. If you worked this hard for yourself i think you could achieve a lot. Obviously your situation sounds tough to break free from but you can do it. Focus on any small thing that brings true happiness and go from there.

I can believe that but I think the more important metric is labour hours vs food produced. Less labour and more food means more time for other activities.

A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.

This is where we find ourselves. Destroy flock cameras. Don't get caught. Support Palestine Action. Don't get caught. Use what little time is available to fight back. But most importantly, don't get caught because no one else can afford to save you.
