The US federal govt has just begun implementing a centralized digital currency project (CBDC) to bring about a cashless society where every transaction we make is tracked, monitored, and controlled, thus undermining our autonomy and freedom. To protect our freedom, we must all stand together in rejecting this effort to institute a digital cashless society.
I had a chance to test the battery life on my #librem5 today. I went on a kayak trip and purposefully left the librem in the car unplugged. At 11:30 when I left, it was at 100%. At 5:30, when I returned, it was at 66%.
Battery life is no where near an android phone, but it is definitely improving quite a bit.

I am not sure the PPP is the way to go. Sound quality, in my experience was significantly worse than the OG Pinephone.
@indie1337 @freemo Very true...definitely not happy with where the #USA has gone in this regard...I should probably spread the Gospel more than I do now tbh
The future of opportunities for girls and women is in the balance. That's why @riley_gaines_ won't let the loud, attacking minority win. Here's the story of what really happened at SFSU and hear her call out hypocrite @mpinoe. #RileyGaines

@trhlofficial Any parent or doctor who sterilizes a child before they are a consenting adult should go to prison for life

You shouldn't be able to buy an airsoft with food stamps.
I’d like to be able to describe reality accurately without it being treated as a slur. Males are men. Females are women. That’s my “hate speech.”

Not that my permission is necessary, but I don't see a problem with this.
Remember when Target started letting men in women's bathrooms and outraged conservatives refused to shop there until 48 hours later when they stopped caring? This won't last, either. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1645839970572042246

What I find particularly hilarious is the people that purchase cases of bud light so that they can then destroy them publicly. How does that hurt the company? They have aleady paid for them.
I have learned in the last year or so, that in order to avoid being called “transphobic” I have to:
1. Abandon child safeguarding.
2. Abandon basic biology.
3. Abandon womens safety.
4. Abandon my religion.
5. Abandon being honest.
6. Abandon my own identity as a Woman.
7. Abandon my Ethics.
8. Abandon my parental rights.
And I concluded that the price was too high, and I have a feeling many more people are waking up to this reality.
But the first thing I had to do was make peace with the fact that I will be called transphobic, no matter what I say.
And I’m okay with that.

Let them strike. They put out mostly garbage today anyway and the garbage that they put out is either a reboot or a spinoff of something else because they can't seem to come up with an original idea.
@realcaseyrollins
I completely agree with your take on this including the fact that there were better nominees than Trump. I supported Cruz that year. That said, you can't honestly believe that primary voters thought that he had the best chance of winning that year.
If anything, he is an argument for your case. Nobody that year thought Clinton could lose, but Trump was considered the worst pick for winnibility. However, he was the one that resonated with primary voters.
Communism's only lasting acheivement is causing 70 million of it's own people to starve to death in the 20th century due to malice and incompetence. Strategic positions are filled to solidify power not meritocratically. It incentivizes people with pervasive fear. Fear of sureveillance and secret police. Fear of going to the gulag, being shot in the street or being sent to the frontlines of a war without a weapon. God help you if there is a color revolution and you happen to wear glasses. You are a slave and there is no way out. You have nothing to call your own, no aspirations just hopelessness. Communism has been tried. It doesn't work.
In a world where no system is perfect saying that Communism is the least maligned is laughable. We have over a 100 years of data at this point. Data that we can access and process due to the information technology revolution driven almost entirely by the flawed but extremely innovative west.
Allowing people to reap the fruits of their own labor is aligned with the common interest because it gives people some sense of self sovereignty which, in the end, is what everyone wants. You can invest your wealth in initiatives you find valuable and grow your wealth while fueling innovation. Capitalism in and of itself isn't some evil invention. Subversion and degeneration of culture are the culprits. Communism has the same issue but there is no hedge against it because the people don't really have any power.
Bet on greed.

I try to avoid calculators as long as possible. I tutored a 9th grader who wanted to use a calculator to add 5+3. When I didn't let him use one, he resorted to using his fingers. Calculators can be a good tool, but they can also become a crutch.
