Fediverse, you've been holding out on me! I had no idea it was possible to view twitter without logging in over at nitter.net
Does anyone have a preference between a browser add-on redirect like [Invidition](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invidition/) or a user space level program like [NitterizeMe](https://framagit.org/tom79/nitterizeme)?
@lashman sure, #Bloomberg is worth $61B. Assuming he sees a 4% annual return on his nest egg (average stock market gains) he can live on $2B/yr perpetually without ever doing a day of work again. It's the basic rule of retirement: save 25x the annual income you want to retire on.
Note that #Bloomberg has pledged to spend $2B on the 2020 campaign. This is so important to him he's willing to slightly tighten his belt for a year. 🙄
@viv@toot.site that's some mighty fine plasma login screen in the background. 😁
I feel a little self conscious wearing the giant ear cuff headset like that. But it's the only style that doesn't end up making my ears hurt if worn for more than half an hour. Enjoy the new drivers. You got some new content lined up to try them out?
Did #Yang give up? Talk about one of those 100 policies, not just UBI. #Steyer came out strong and demanded some time.
Over on #TYT Cenk mentioned #Warren might be ceding time to avoid talking healthcare since her stance change.
I'm also surprised to see #Biden had so much time.
#NPR forgot to give #Bloomberg time for the moderators taking it upon themselves to act as his surrogate.
Hey guys! I figured out why ppl like #MayorPete he uses the same mad libs book as Deepak Chopra. #DemDebate
#Klobuchar spends a lot of time on anecdotes when she should be explaining her policy stance. Why is she running? All I hear her say is what she's not and what she's not going to do. #DemDebate
I like that #Yang talks in economic terms. "The market is deciding our worth."
What he misses the the market failures that the government is supposed to correct. That's why Trump needs to be defeated. Deregulating businesses and letting their negative externalities be the public burden isn't acceptable.
Wtf are the moderators talking about Bloomberg? Center bias? He didn't make numbers he doesn't get a seat, remember when it was #Yang edged out of the Jan debate the answer was pollsters need to poll more. #DemDebate
Do we have free will? #Spinoza says that we just don't understand true causes. Have you ever had the same reaction to the same situation?
See the Campbell story in this RadioLab:

Check out act 2 of This American Life 662 (though the whole episode is worth a listen):

Quite possibly my favourite thought out of this: if there's no free will how should the justice system work?
#Sanders missed an opportunity when going after #Biden's healthcare plan. The current system of requiring a deductible and copay is insane. The average deductible is $600. A surprisingly large number of Americans (40%) would have to go into debt to cover a $400 emergency. #DemDebate
@viv@toot.site just KDE Connect or the whole #plasmadesktop? I've heard that #KDEConnect works with other OSes as well as other desktops on Linux.
I was happy to see Yang back. But he needs to demand some time like Steyer did with "It's the economy, stupid." Shine #Yang, shine! #DemDebate
@lashman it was great to see Bernie hit back hard on Biden's healthcare plan and continued mischaracterization of M4A. #DemDebate
@lashman no, no, no. Real change comes from doing the same thing we've been doing.
Human... maybe?
