Started with wirebase.org because it’s local, but there was a lot of downtime. Switched to lemmy.sdf.org because they’re also local, but are also a really old group that still hosts Usenet stuff. I’ve recently learned that they have never defederated though, and so I’m considering leaving because I don’t believe in giving a platform to obvious disinformation and hate campaigns.

That happened a lot in NY too, I think we called them sticker shops

Retirement accounts for myself and people close to me so we can live off the interest. Then probably a bigger house and a bunch of old cars

I brought up Hamilton because it’s particularly not a documentary

People don’t generally do that. If you’re referring to Hamilton, it was not a documentary or a biography. And historically white people did that all the time in plays/movies for entertainment, so why get all angry about it now that it’s not white people?

Always makes me wonder if he’s destroying it for Russia or republicans or something

Thing is, the risks of doing nothing have definite consequences that we’ve already been watching. Should we do nothing and let democracy burn in fear that doing something will be abused in the future?
