The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.

We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.

If you have people in your family of draft age, do expect them to get "sucked up" by selective service, for present and future wars contemplated by this government.

Trump’s supporters conflates MAGA with MIGA. American patriotism now requires patriotism to Israel. As the latest mantra goes, “you can’t be an American if you don’t love Israel.” You have to hand it to the Zionists. They have even stolen our patriotism.

Americans scream antidepressants must be put into drinking water because tyranny is causing people to commit suicide, but why not just get rid of the police state?

Americans say 20 million people were killed in the Soviet Union because tyranny keeps you safe.

Have you seen any of these people in real life? Your tiktok brain is going to be fed the most extreme cases .. and yea these two might be shitty, but that doesn't mean all Indians are like that.

Same with your continuous black posting. Yea there's a problem, in general with any social group believing victimization is some intrinsic part of who they are. But I never see the shit you post in real life. I live in the deep south. Half my neighbors are black, and although some neighborhood meetings can be cringe, they're all generally good people. Same with the dozens of blacks I encounter at every bar or restaurant every time I go hang out with anyone downtown.

I guess I shouldn't pick on you explicitly, but I'm so sick of this side of fedi and all this race baiting bullshit.

Like .. go outside. I spent my entire birthday with my friends and it made me realize I hated the way even fedi is rotting my brain ...

Maybe I need to unfollow a bunch of people

Like I said, that's a different issue. If they are pushing out qualified Canadians and don't have the skills, then yes, they're being brought over to race bait your and create a pressure cooker of anger. You getting angry at some people who went through a process and took a job (maybe they weren't qualified for it; once again .. different issue) and then screaming your ass off at some behaviors you see on tiktok you associate to an entire race is exactly what those people in the government **want** you to do.

It looks bad on me too man. I get it. My dad worked his ass off, got his EE degree, got a visa and worked nuclear for over 25 years! But he was qualified. And yes, I see companies, including my own, contracting out to Indian or Mexico for what should be domestic jobs. They're pinching every penny, but then again, this economy is shit and logistics are on tiny margins.

Whole deal is you're getting angry at the people the government wants you angry at instead of them .. and you honestly feel like an asshole the entire fucking time. I'm so sick of your posts man. I feel like you're fighting the wrong war.

This isn't fucking about me. I'm sick of all bullshit on here with the blacks, and the Indians, and the Vietnamese, and (((THE JEWS))).

I don't care or give a shit about any of this in the real world. I don't like the fucked up mentality the continual feed of tik-tok torture porn is putting into the head of the western fedi-man, that all of you just repost here!

<insert human-centipede with fedi at the end />

I've lived in massive cities and in the middle of nowhere and rarely see any of this. It's the 4% and it poisons people against each other facing a world where all of us will be under 24/hr communication surveillance.

We're on the verge of a technate state that will lock every citizen in the world into a permanent digital panopticon, and you're here bitching about <x minority>.

When I go into town, see a show and everyone is with their families and their dogs; music on stage, kids running around the park ... it makes me sick of the ideology this side of fedi has fed into our heads. As much as I have a distaste Adam Furry and his forever Jebus-Israel-grift, I can kinda understand why he wanted to abandon NAS.

This place is a toxic shit-hole and I wonder if it's really better than the CIA funded big social networks.

@PNS they both did.

@sampler Well I got around to making a new batch of pizza dough. It is a good dough. It's a full 72 hour dough. So, it's fully matured.

This time only using 1/3 of the original water weight. It does infact create a chewier pizza. But, I think the 2/3 one was slightly better. Easier to work with too. So, the next pizza will be back to 2/3 water weight of the original recipe. And I think I'll add in more time on the kneading. As I think this will produce the chewiness better than the less water. As suggested by another baker.

I'm gonna knead it so hard it gives the kids generational trauma.
