Moving from the government to the church is really just moving from one giant organization to the other in a lot of ways. But yes, it’s outside of government so I guess you could say it counts.

Well it shouldn’t be surprising that someone who lives far away from everyone else doesn’t care much for other people.

Yes, but not one run by the government. It is the form of collectivism that rural people see and most conspicuously use, and hence why they don’t see the need for governments

I think it more comes down to the fact that if you live in a rural area, you have to have a very independent and individualistic mindset because you are so far away from things that you have to do most things yourself. This leads to a less collectivist mindset. Your main hub of society tends to be the nearest church, which is where you see the other people living nearby. Or maybe the bass pro shop or waffle house if you are near enough to one of those.

When you live in a city, you are about as deep in society as you can get, and you can quickly understand why we need to help each other because you see the results of not doing that all around you (mental illness, drug addicition, homelessness, etc.).

It’s not that one is right and the other wrong, it’s that they are life viewed from fundamentally different perspectives and needs.

This is huge and one of the reasons I moved to PieFed from Lemmy. I look forward to seeing this happen!

She’s very well drawn.

Seriously, go ahead and try to give someone that shit. No one would be surprised I watch porn and I don’t do it in any sort of interesting way. I’m guessing no one would even want to watch it.

I have a real hard time with this. Because I usually can’t think of much else to say…

I mean I wouldn’t look at this as a laptop replacement, just something I could use that way in a pinch. Lots of clamshell phones in the early 2000’s had this layout and it worked pretty well.

If you really wanted to use this as a laptop much better to carry another little folding keyboard with you.

It’s always been there somewhere in the shadows, but that was the first time I saw it happening out in the open.

I left the US after Bush Jr was elected and it was the best decision of my life. That’s when fascism started it’s slow ramp up in the USA

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And pretty rich.

It would be nice if one of the folds could be left folded at the bottom to give you a keyboard.

Well it could also just depend on some mechanism that we haven’t discovered yet. Even if we could technically reproduce it, we don’t understand it and haven’t managed to just stumble into it and may not for a very long time.

I would if I could.

It’s not all text. But I think most of it is scanned docs based on what’s been released so far.

They are doing it because it was looking like they would get the signatures in congress to force the release of the full archives despite speaker Mike Johnson blocking the vote on it. Now they are trying to take the wind out of the sails out of that movement. The best whistleblower would be congress itself.

There are more than 300 gigabytes of Epstein files confirmed by the DOJ. If we are generous and say all these 33,000 pages are stored as images rather than text, they probably aren’t more than 25gb. And 97% of them were already public.

Epic!
