@hacks4pancakes @fencepost it's very nice of you to assume I have nothing to do with the current administration, but...

@hacks4pancakes sorry for making a joke of it...

@hacks4pancakes "business or deportation?" - a stern faced security guard asks calmly

@rogeradolfsson how can he so obsessed with the past, and so uninformed? The first power plants was built at the point of use, like duh. The power generator was invented before transmission lines, as it turns out moving electricity long distances is really hard.

@JorisMeys The stock market will recover, eventually. The value of stocks is unfortunately more real then the value of money, on a long enough time line.

@JorisMeys the market is based on the marginal exchange value of the stock.

They multiply the total volume of stock with the price it was last traded.

The valuation is completely fictional. determined by the most willing buyer and seller.

If I for an example started a company and sold a billionth of that company for one dollar to my friend, I would be a billionaire.

This is different from a ponzi scheme as the money never existed.

@gavi @GamingNews Sony and Nintendo is in a prolonged consol war, in Japan. They are probably trying to price out Sony now when Sony have discovered that the portable market exist again.

Nintendo probably also want to price out the steam deck while they can. A virtual monopoly on the home market is hard to come by.

@bri_seven

If the women didn't fight "enough" the courts in Sweden would determine it wasn't rape. Doomed if you do doomed if you don't.

@bri_seven mine is how fast "it is fixed in the latest release" switches to "I won't help you when you run an unstable release".

@impactology it's the state, a well functioning state prevent harm.

@turtlewrites I don't understand what you mean with "dichotomies".

I am describing my lived experience that have lead me to the conclusion that some that call them self anarchist; fails to understand that people like me are dependent on the state.

I am not saying that is right, or that is how it should be.

@turtlewrites there exists nothing to "unpack". It's my lived experience.

I wouldn't be allowed to live in the home I am currently living if it wasn't for state support. That might no longer be true, but my relationship with capital is complicated.

My life is currently financed by roughly equal part capital and state support.

@turtlewrites

I know it's hard to understand, but if the state need to motivate people to give a shit about me. I am glad the state exist. No force ia perfect, but a well organised police force is preferable to the alternatives that we know.

@turtlewrites

The state built the house I grew up in. "the state pay my rent" is an obvious gross over simplification, but I do like it when I get the chance to write obvious contradictions with deeper meaning.
