Dude! She isn’t even dead yet!

He’s a neoliberal which is an economic stance that promotes deregulation of the markets and support of free trade along with government austerity.

Well you need to start with a bunch of billions and some billionaire friends.

Liberal in economics and Liberal in US politics mean two very distinct and different things. It’s like the way a ‘runner’ in a race is different to a ‘runner’ in a restaurant. They’re not the same things at all.

Economic liberalism means free trade and deregulation. If it makes money, it’s good. Neoliberalism is also referred to as ‘hypercapitalism’.

‘Liberal’ in US politics means ‘left of the GOP’ and is its own unique thing. It bears no relation to economic liberalism at all. The two may coincide but they’re independent of one another.

My choices now are

Mastodon
Lemmy
Kbin
Actually edit the novel

I used it to overwrite everything so if they restore it they’ll have a whole lot of comments saying “So long and thanks for all the cheese.” I did it twice just in case of reversion.

I used it yesterday to overwrite everything, twice, before I deleted every comment more than a week old.

It was very freeing!

Very good luck with all of that!

The Finnish song Cha Cha Cha is awesome. It should have won Eurovision!

If you can afford it, I found that the Pimsleur technique taught me how to speak well better than anything else I tried. I’ve forgotten the Spanish I know because I didn’t keep using it, but it got me to a decent adult conversational level in about a month at half an hour a day and I was always speaking ‘adult’ sentences right from the start, both copying then making new ones.

Okay but how do I not do weird shit for three days straight?

I think over time it will be. Usenet used to hold the body of knowledge, then it was fora and then reddit.

I think from Gen X onwards it just gets more and more common.

Also, people will say “I don’t play computer/video games” and then spend hours on Candy Crush or whatever.

Ooh, that’s my favourite so far. Before that I was pro-Lemming.

I’m on an instance where that never happens.

One of the subs I can’t let go of closed early and I ended up hunting down a forum instead.

I suspect that’s going to happen more and more.

I’m seeing it out. Once old.reddit is gone then I’ll pretty much have to.
