Me: Isn’t it funny how folks in the West wouldn’t use a time machine to go back in time and stop colonialism?
Random guy from the West on the fediverse: Excuse me, would you like to read my 200-word post on how not all colonialism was bad, actually?
@axbom@axbom.meWith the exception of the "passing the ball along the perimeter" trick (which isn't true as the inbounding team is restricted to the baseline)...

It’s funny how many people have no idea how to buy used stuff for non-inflated prices.
Here’s some tips to get you started (for eBay):
1. The first thing about eBay is that most things listed as “buy now” are overpriced—otherwise someone else would have bought it already. You have to always look at sold listings to see what things are actually worth.
2. Use saved searches specifically limited in price and distance.
3. Always sort by newly listed for “Buy Now” and ending soonest for auctions.
4. Look for older buy now listings and make offers. The older the listing the lower you offer. Some tools like flippah.net show you the listed date directly without having to dig deep on the eBay website. You can make offers even when the button isn’t there, just send a message.
5. Never buy anything from sellers with 0 feedback or less than a 98% or so rating.
A general thing to remember is that unless you buy new stuff or see a listing from a store (some categories have a lot of stores, e.g. cameras) you’re likely to deal directly with a private seller and a human being. Be polite and respectful but don’t be afraid to say no. Don’t make insulting offers.

"Starting a company is really just about getting a credit card and frantically spending as much as possible until you're profitable. Don't worry about the debt. It's not going to be your problem."
This would be a useful metaphor if it wasn't just how these people think. Anyway, thanks for the free bugs. You'll never be able to pay enough consulting fees to keep from being hacked repeatedly forever.
This is how the system collapses. At some point it simply isn't possible to sustain the crushing weight of incompetence.
We are not in an era where democracy is “challenged.”
We are in an era where democracy is under siege.
Authoritarianism isn’t knocking…it’s battering the door.
Propaganda isn’t creeping…it’s flooding.
The public isn’t outraged…they’re exhausted.
This isn’t a moment for:
“Be Inspired.”
“Stay Hopeful.”
“Vote Blue.”
“We’ll Be Fine.”
This is a moment for:
“DO. NOT. LET. GO. OF DEMOCRACY.”
Na, mal wieder nicht verwunderlich. Eine Studie hätte ich für diese Erkenntnis nicht gebraucht.
Wichtigste Aussage am Ende: "Wer sich informieren will, kommt an seriösen Medien nicht vorbei, in denen menschliche Redakteure arbeiten, die Quellen prüfen und Behauptungen und Belege einordnen."
