Luckily my neighbors aren’t close. They do seem to be noisy, the motors to pull a vacuum then explosively re-pressurizing isn’t quiet.

Wrong type of rice cake. Im taking about the puffed kind.

Rice Cakes (the circular ones)

They’re regularly $3.49 Canadian now… that’s absurd. It has one ingredient, rice. Rice isn’t that expensive, and it doesn’t even use very much of it.

They’re not even difficult to produce, the machine to make them is only a few thousand dollars and I’m seriously considering buying one from South Korea at this point.

This is exactly the problem I mentioned, in that it’s giving people a false sense of security. There are bots posting without that symbol all the time.

I’m aware, that’s why my comment mentions that

There is no way to reliably identify bot posts if they are not revealing that information intentionally.

Should it be banned? Sure

Can it be banned? No

Does banning it give people a false sense of security that there aren’t bots? Yes

Meshtastic is worth taking a peek and a play at. HAM radio-esque text messages, but without the license requirements.

Nah, it’s cyclical. Kings, Lords and Peasants were capitalist too, and clearly far worse than even what we have today.

People argue that Feudalism is separate, but really those differences were political, not economic. A small number of people owned almost everything, and forced the labour of the rest of the population to survive because of that.

Labour isn’t voluntary under capitalism either, it’s required to survive. Modern capitalism just gives us the illusion that it’s our choice.
