That's an important and valid concern. What if the community federation could allow mods on your instance to ban users from other instances? You'd not see that user's posts or comments when viewing a community from your instance. The downside is that your mods would have more work.

OP didn't say force. OP specifically said allow.

This is a really good idea. Multi-instance communities would not just provide content redundancy, but also some load balancing. Each multi-instance community would become it's own little CDN. Duplicating the data across instances does pose a problem of bloat, but I think the benefits outweigh the risks.

That system makes the instance a single-point-of-failure for the whole community, which has been a big problem lately. If communities could easily be multi-instance they would have redundancy. That seems like a good reason to me.

Dopamine is the get-shit-done neurotransmitter. Our brain's dopamine system is broken. Normies complete a task and get a satisfying feeling of accomplishment, that's dopamine. You complete a task and get nothing. When you did those tasks before, and got no dopamine, your brain labeled them as useless. Your brain is literally telling you that doing nothing is better than the tasks you need to do. Better to be lazy and save calories for important tasks. You're not procrastinating, that's something normies do, you won't ever do those things. You're not putting off an unpleasant task, you're conditioned not to do them.

You need to condition your brain to expect a reward when you complete a task. Figure out what things do give you dopamine, and reward your brain with them.

Clean the house - play video games for 15 minutes.

Do laundry - 15 minutes on social media.

I've had varying results combining activities, like cleaning while listening to my favorite podcasts.

It also helps me to spend a moment being mindful of the results of the task. "Look how much better this room is now that it's clean. I'm proud of myself for accomplishing this task." It sounds dumb but it works.

I try not to beat myself up about it. I remind myself that everyone has off days, and everyone deserves some R&R.

Palo Alto would do what you want. PA410 or 420 would probably do for your ships. They're not at all rated for harsh conditions, but they're about as robust as you'll find for basic network gear. If you get a PA for the home office as well, you can use their SDWAN for connecting everything.

For switching....how many ports do you need on each ship? I'm using Unifi industrial switches in our manufacturing plants. They stand up to the Texas summers in a highly alkaline environment. They're only ten ports though (8 poe).

I have a carbon steel wok that I love.

I tried to buy a BifL non-stick pan and found that it doesn't exist. Everything marketed as non-stick has some coating that will wear off and become useless. "But what about {brand that says it's not PTFE, PFOA, or PFAS}?" Yep them too. Look up sol-gel non-stick coating if you have ceramic non-stick. If you don't want to have to buy pans over and over again, you have to go stainless, cast iron or carbon steel. Cast iron enamelware is pretty good too, but isn't really non-stick. I'm in the process of finding stainless/cast-iron replacements for all my non-stick pans.

Dinner tonight was one of my favorite meals, BFMC. Bread, fruit, meat, cheese. A loaf of fresh bread, a hunk of tasty cheese, a little bit of cured meat like salami, and some fruit. If you want to get fancy you can add some nuts and olives.

That's how I found the word, I saw that diagram.

I don't think using terms that you disagree with is necessarily a straw man. If we had been arguing about the possibility of flight and my position was that all previous attempts had failed, you'd come back and say, "those weren't attempts at flight, those were bad bird impersonations."

On a separate note, I've got a question for you. If capitalism inevitably leads to people being poorer, why does this graph show that over the last 200 years the number of people in poverty has steadily declined?

I don't want to constantly have to fight against my ADHD just so I can be average. Can you imagine any other disease getting this kind of treatment? "Yeah, you have cancer, but it's not killing you so just deal with it."

I prefer positive reinforcement. If I do a task, I reward myself with a dopamine hit. I play a game or hit Lemmy or Mastodon for 15 minutes after.

“We’ll never survive!” “Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.”

I really want to believe that a communist world is possible. Maybe I'm like the pessimists that doubted humans could ever fly. I just don't see it ever working.

I really like that you defined all these terms. It makes it much easier to discuss the ideas when the language doesn't get in the way. Thank you.

Would it be correct to state that every attempt at bringing about communism has failed thus far? From the Bolsheviks to Mao to Castro, none of them have succeeded. Is communism not what those movements were attempting to accomplish? Yes, things went badly, and the end result was not communism, but that doesn't change the fact that those movements had the aim of ending capitalism, in favor of communism.

Every unregulated capitalist economy has devolved

Right, but I'm not arguing for unregulated capitalism. I think capitalism should be highly regulated. I'm arguing for fair markets that reward good actors and punish bad. I'm arguing for continually refining capitalism and fixing the problems. Which is why I keep having this argument. You're obviously an intelligent person, motivated to change society for the better, with a good moral compass. I want you on my side. I want people to want to work on the actual problems, and not pin their hopes on some big idea that will fix everything, because that doesn't exist.

Sure, there have been authoritarian governments that said they were socialist for PR.

This is the cognitive dissonance about Marxism that bugs me the most. You believe that a system such as Capitalism is so flawed that it must be replaced with something else, but you are unwilling to see that Socialism is also flawed in different ways. If you adhered to the principles of pure Marxism, you would see that Socialism as well must be discarded for a better alternative. Instead of seeing that, you will label every failed Socialist state as a fake. We need something else.

Steam engines literally led to the development of electric motors. Steam engines led to steam turbines which led to dynamos which led to electric motors, each invention building off the knowledge gained at the previous step.

Your analogy is doubly flawed. Each type of engine you mention has strengths and weaknesses that depend on external variables. Internal combustion isn't better at producing electricity for instance, which is why we mostly use external combustion to do that. Electric motors aren't better than internal combustion, except that internal combustion is causing climate change. It's also flawed because history has shown that Socialism doesn't work better than Capitalism. I could see, if this were purely theoretical, someone arguing the benefits of Marxist ideas, but it's been tried. In several places around the world, people tried to put in place the kind of changes you're advocating. In every case it led to authoritarianism, brutal repression, and starvation. Does it suck that poor kids don't have enough to eat, while Bezos builds space yachts? Yeah it sucks, but it's not millions-starving-to-death levels of suck like we actually, not theoretically, got every time we tried Communism or Socialism or any kind of take-their-stuff-and-give-it-to-me-ism.

I can absolutely draw you a line from the development of the steam engine to the electric motor to NASA. Every little thing that was wrong with steam engines led to better and better technology. Marxism is like saying, "the steam engine has problems, obviously mechanical engineering is doomed, lets breed better horses."

Damn it. I fell for another stupid internet fallacy.

In 1993 Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) started broadcasting hate speach in Rawanda. They used technology presumably manufactured and sold by multi-national corporations who had no mechanism to prevent abuse of the platform they created. Should we blame the manufacturers of radio broadcast equipment for the Rawandan genocide?

Millennials think everyone older than them is a boomer. If you try to correct them, they call you a pedant.

Edit: They're also really sensitive to being criticized.

Wide open to the internet.

Hosting critical proprietary data.

Yeah, she was a very smart person, IIRC she was studying aeronautical engineering, literally a rocket scientist. Just one of those weird ways that you don't think about your bias until it smacks you in the face.

I went to college with a Spanish guy, Milo I watched this exchange.

Girl: "What kind of Spanish are you?"

Milo: ...

Girl: "You know, like Mexican or Colombian or Puerto Rican?"

Milo "No no, I'm from España"

Girl: "But like, which country did you grow up in?"

Milo: " España...uh Spain"

Girl: ...

Me: "There's a country in Europe called Spain, its the place where spanish originated, like England is where english originated."

Girl: "Duh"

Me: "That's where he's from."

Girl: *suddenly realizes how dumb this whole exchange has been and dies of embarrassment.

Am I the only one who feels like productivity/organization tools for ADHD people is like bicycles for blind kids? Like, "yeah I can see how a functional person could find this useful, but what the heck am I going to do with it?"

She doesn't want to be pregnant or she doesn't want to have a kid? Two different problems with two different solutions.

I think we should prevent as many abortions as we can, while preserving everyone's right to body autonomy.

How did your hypothetical woman get pregnant? In my hypothetical, ideal world that scenario should be exceedingly rare.

A person's body is their own. From the skin in, it's yours to do with as you please. You can't make somebody wreck their body or risk their lives to satisfy your morality. I'm willing to debate this issue with someone who has done everything I'm their power to mitigate the risk of unwanted pregnancy. If not, I assume they're just trying to control women's bodies in order to secure their place in heaven, because the rest of christianity is hard.

And she doesn't want to put the child up for adoption? That's valid. Pregnancy has long term negative health impacts. Morally, I'm not opposed to abortion. I know some people are. I feel like I'm unwilling to debate the morality while all the practical steps to mitigate the risk haven't been taken.

I would add, free, easily accessible sterilization should be the norm. I don't want more kids, so I got sterilized.

Apply the scientifc method. Look at places and times with wide economic disparity. Were/are those good stable places with happy healthy populations, or was it bad. If you decide it's a problem based on evidence, then look at solutions. If you don't have examples, try things out and record the data. What worked and what didn't. Don't let your values bias you. I think that welath inequality is a problem, but I'm willing to listen to thoroughly researched, peer reviewed, data backed conclusions.
