Anarchist gang calls dibs on legs and house
Fun fact: If you actually fell and landed on something with enough force to make it’s way inside of you the object would quite literally rip your asshole. When it’s a true accident, it’s very clear due to the blood loss and whatnot
Nitrile is an option as well. They don’t contain the protein that triggers allergic reactions
Do cats not have sodium ion channels?
I would imagine any privacy measures cartels take are seen as overhead more than anything else
Do people with a Rolex pay subscriptions for their disgustingly expensive watches?
They cut the octopus in quarters to increase output. Back in my day, our drunk octopus coathangers had eight arms!
Idk I view it a little closer than that. Rather than an arts program v sports program I see it as an art program that wants to buy paint and I’m saying maybe it would be a better idea to buy easles, canvases, pencils, paper, and pastels instead
I’m not suggesting the organizers of this fundraiser.missappropriate the money. I’m saying that this fundraiser seems pretty pointless and the money would be better spent elsewhere
I see two goals in that paragraph:
Fundraiser for Kamala
Encourage Kamala to make a mastodon account and promote on it over other social media
People have already donated hundreds of millions of dollars to her via more official channels. This is a grassroots fundraiser targeted specifically at mastodon users (and now the fediverse at large because of this post) with the stated incentive of trying to encourage Kamala to use mastodon over other platforms. You could chalk the mastodon but up as secondary but there isn’t even a third thing in that paragraph for the mastodon portion to be less important than. Given the amount of press the Harris campaign has already received, it seems like this fundraiser’s primary purpose is to promote mastodon via contributing to the campaign and tacitly asking Kamala to sign up.
If mastodon users wanted to donate to the campaign, they have probably been exposed to several other avenues to do that before they would have even seen this. So what’s the point of doing a special “fediverse only” fundraiser? Apparently it’s to encourage her to create an account. It’s pandering and I don’t see a point in shilling a super special fediverse fundraiser for a candidate who’s already drowning in small donation money when that money could be used to promote the fediverse in a much more meaningful way
If the point of the fundraiser is to convince her to join mastodon, wouldn’t 450k send just as strong of a message as 500k? Do what you want with your money, but why? Why are we dumping hundreds of grand towards a politician (who’s just raised over 300mil in two weeks) on the off chance they will decide to make a mastodon account? The fundraiser even says “encourage her to create a distinct presence on mastodon”. The language is so noncommittal it seems like even the people who organized this don’t expect anything to happen after they dump a cool half mil into a campaign that’s already wildly successful.
Imo if the point of this fundraiser is to promote and grow mastodon/the fediverse then why isn’t the money put towards ads, funding instances, developing the fediverse, or a million other things. That amount of money could go a very long way for the fediverse if it were put towards something other than a plea to Kamala Harris to pretty please maybe think about possibly signing up for mastodon
That reads like some Rick and Morty interdimensional cable shit
