I've been procrastinating starting a business for the past 5 years.
The vax mandate gave me the kick in the ass I needed to not only start my business, but I got my 1ST CLIENT!
It's not enough to go full time but it's important to celebrate the small wins.
If you're new to Mastodon this is a great video for you:
https://youtu.be/1ypCRB_3Q_k?t=93
Also If you wonder why there's no like button on here:
Mastodon was created based on 2015 twitter which didn't have likes, only favorites
So on mastodon
A favorite is for the author ("I liked this")
a bookmark is for you ("I want to see this again later")
...a boost is for your followers ("more people should see this")
Good point ,but I wanted to keep it simple because I read somewhere if you give people too many choices they don't pick any of them.
I'm leaning toward women but I don't want to be a man with a hammer and assume everything that sucks is because of them.
I just watched this really good video about Nietzsche vs Dostoevsky and liked how the commentator combines and contrasts the philosophers, and I see a lot of myself in that. I lean (a lot) more towards Nietzsche, but Dostoevsky does have good points about how Nietzsche's philosophy can be used to justify atrocious acts, but that's nature for you I guess.
Truth Spoken
"Anyone claiming to help men, psychologically speaking, has an obligation to place their philosophy front & center for men to see.
... practitioners don’t really do that in .. the “mental health” industry. Sometimes they will inform you that they subscribe to feminist theory, which is an admission of their complicity in undermining men and enough reason to view them with disdain." - Paul Elam
The mental health industry is a pit of feminist vipers, don't be fooled by nice tiddies.
"This is clearly the most failing medical product in the history of medical products, both in terms of EFFICACY and SAFETY" - (and also the most profitable)

I totally get it, I'm 2A all the way, but if any country has found another way to a polite society without guns it's Japan.
Yes, all govts are corrupt, but they just don't seem to have the same crazy hatred for their citiizens.
The police carry ancient .38's but shootings are super rare.
Yeah, the Hattori Hanzo was a joke, but they do have a long tradition of self-defense and weapons so it's still a good idea. Use that Kendo training.
Thinking of moving to rural Japan?
Because the Japanese mass migration to cities is still so extreme, countless villages are on the verge of dying out with abandoned houses everywhere.
The website https://www.ieichiba.com/ is a platform for people to buy and sell cheap rural property — sometimes giving them away for free.
Upside: digital nomads could make it work.
Downside: the locals will always hate your guts you dirty Gajin creep motherfucker. Go back where you came from!!
@Tfmonkey Does this get an "I told you so dance" on Wednesday's show. I admit I never thought he would get to the "Take Women's Rights Away" point
It's a big and dense work and not easy to find, so here it is for download:

Even if you never read the whole thing, just read the first 45 pages. That should be enough to give you a good impression of the content, quality of research and writing to evaluate for yourself.
Happy reading.
"... Immense efforts have been made by the Russian authorities & also by the Western liberal democratic power structure to ignore it, to suppress it as much as possible, & above all to prevent & interdict the book’s translation into foreign languages, most especially into English, which has become essentially the worldwide language of our epoch…
The Russian authorities have to this date refused to allow any official English translation of the book to be published".
