You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Assets in a bank, stock market, 401(k) or pension are not guaranteed
2·7 days agoThis post wasn’t about recommendations, just information that people should know. Make your own decisions based on your own assessment of the risks and likely returns associated with each option. I’d say precious metals in your physical possession are a simple option with low risk but that’s my opinion.

2·7 days agoBetter to stash precious metals since they won’t lose their value. Of course there are other options so make your own decisions based on your own assessment of the various risks involved.
Voting gives the system an appearance of consent and legitimacy. Mass non-compliance is the answer.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Europol predicts a 2035 with no privacy, robot police, robots displacing workers, debates about "robot rights" and criminals commanding hundreds of drones simultaneously
1·10 days agoNo. I’m not convinced China is worse than the US in terms of developing anti-human technologies and people living in China can’t boycott China. The point is to get the people in every significant country (including China) to oppose these technologies so strongly that they aren’t able to be developed anywhere. The Chinese military has to employ Chinese people to make its weapons, but if 80% of the population is opposed to these weapons existing and even the foundation of modern technology on which they are built then that is going to be difficult. Even if they were able to only employ those who are fine with WMDs the public’s opposition to modern technology would be a problem for the government maintaining control while developing those weapons and forcing modern technology on the people as a means of controlling them.

2·10 days agoRuling with an iron fist tends to create resistance and without mass surveillance technology an unpopular regime couldn’t keep everyone in line. But if instead most people are in agreement about something being bad (like they are with slavery or pedophilia) then there is much less resistance to enforcement against it (whether that’s centralized or decentralized enforcement) and therefore that thing is more effectively stopped. While lone individuals or small secretive groups could continue doing the bad practice, in terms of technology I don’t think this will matter much because they won’t be able to develop a lot of technology with only a small group of people who aren’t building on other people’s work and their technology also wouldn’t be adopted by a society that is against it.

1·11 days agoThey work for others. It would be helpful to know in what way they aren’t working for you. And did you try this one? https://zbbb278hfll091.bitchute.com/KmVnLpFsCzAq/jmhFAjqbxnQ.mp4 (49 minutes in)
So something can’t be called an x unless it meets every definition of x? I don’t think that’s how definitions work.

2·11 days agoThe Bitchute link should work. Here’s one directly to the mp4: https://zbbb278hfll091.bitchute.com/KmVnLpFsCzAq/jmhFAjqbxnQ.mp4. Again, it’s about 49 minutes in that talks about the Europol report.

Technically everyone is a child so all marriage is child marriage. Abuse of language can be dangerous, children.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK fuel is heavily taxed, but you can avoid the taxes and reduce waste by making your own diesel without expensive equipment

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.

It’s the other way around. Right wing media got popular because people reacted against the rapid devolution of mainstream and left wing political discourse and sought other media. But I’ve accepted that people like this will live and die without ever understanding this.

12·13 days agoI’m only speaking from what I have read. Apparently it is perfectly fine to run engines on biodiesel from using cooking oil or diesel from used motor oil as long as you have a good filtering process using a centrifuge. And I’m not saying that everyone will be able to save or make money this way, just that it’s something one could explore and at least limit the amount of tax they give to a corrupt government.










I’m much more concerned about crises being an excuse to expand government powers than to privatize or deregulate. That’s the problem in this particular instance too. Both can be bad but expanding government powers is almost always bad.
