If you're paying rent and a mortgage you should reevaluate your living situation.

Nah. Imo, this is him telling oil company that they need to step up and fully fund his requests for money "or else". Didn't he recently ask the oil industry for an insane amount of money at the beginning of his campaign or something?

The first write-off came on Mr. Trump’s tax return for 2008. With sales lagging far behind projections, he claimed that his investment in the condo-hotel tower met the tax code definition of “worthless,” because his debt on the project meant he would never see a profit. That move resulted in Mr. Trump reporting losses as high as $651 million for the year, The Times and ProPublica found. There is no indication the I.R.S. challenged that initial claim, though that lack of scrutiny surprised tax experts consulted for this article. But in 2010, Mr. Trump and his tax advisers sought to extract further benefits from the Chicago project, executing a maneuver that would draw years of inquiry from the I.R.S. First, he shifted the company that owned the tower into a new partnership. Because he controlled both companies, it was like moving coins from one pocket to another. Then he used the shift as justification to declare $168 million in additional losses over the next decade.

If you crop in a little tighter from the top, it looks like Greg is in the ISS.

That's was my exact experience on a pokemon go server. So many channels and conversations that notifications are useless and searching for the information I needed was difficult. Just one giant group chat which is awful for storing needed, retrievable, information imo.

Made me never want to step into discord again.

From the Military.com reporting that the Vice article references:

"Another Army official pointed to partisan attacks from conservative lawmakers and media, which has an overwhelmingly white audience. Those groups have used the military as a partisan cudgel against the Biden administration, lambasting the services for being "woke," or so preoccupied with liberal values that they have abandoned their warfighting priorities. In most cases, those attacks have zeroed in on the services being more inclusive for women, service members from racial minority groups and LGBTQ+ troops."

It's probably because I've commented a couple of times. Usually I have nothing to say, but I've felt rather engaged lately.

Ya. I was originally a Google Play music subscriber which got turned into YouTube music, for $9.99usd. Now they're increasing the cost by like $4 after December. So I moved to the spotify family plan and now I share with my love ones for only a little bit more than the new YT price.

YT music was turning to sit though. It would always play music video audio with long ass shitty intros when the studio album music existed in their catalog. Even with the music video option turned to off.

No, no, no. You've got it wrong. The truth, and journalism in general, is not valid if it comes from a communist.

Hello. Idk where to post this idea, I have no idea about game engines or game development, and I am also not creative so this might already exist.

But it'd be cool to have a game based on anxiety in the style of the Simpson's arcade game. You have to go shopping with a grocery list, and before you enter you have to fight off kids selling candy bars, people asking to sign petitions, people trying to convert you you their religion. Then once you're inside you have to fight off kids running loose, slow grandma's, apathetic workers who get in your way etc. Then the items are hard to find or they are always changing locations.

The goal is just to get your grocery shopping done, or other everyday outside tasks that are made difficult by anxiety.

Cool, thanks for your time and reading this far.

So from my understanding, I can block an instance which prevents it from showing in my feed.

However, if the instance I post to (.world) is not blocked on the receiving instance's end (Meta), they will still get my post (unless defederated)?

If so, doesn't that open up the idea that Meta will be able to scrape and take ALL the data from ALL the (still federated) instances' posts that are not blocked by the Meta instance(s)? How can I protect my information from Meta while still being federated, or is that not possible?
