In that case though you own the property, however the government or courts can attach a lien to the property IF you fail to pay taxes as part of your dues to society for things like roads and schools.
Don’t like paying for such things? Go find some rock in the middle of nowhere and make your own way outside of the bounds of an established nation and provide for everything yourself.
I don’t have a solid answer to that, but the recent PhD a candidate that got swiped as I gather was in the middle of a crowded space. If a hand ful of people showed up, and other emboldened by those first few joined in, pretty soon those handful of thugs would be surrounded and you can bet that there wouldn’t be a missing person out there. They have guns and handcuffs, but the people number in the millions and can overwhelm by sheer force of numbers.
I still recall the image of the police HQ in Minneapolis taken over during the Floyd protests. People went directly into the lion’s den and claimed their place. It can happen again, somewhere out there a spark is just waiting to be lit.
Fight back, if someone nearby is getting banned by ‘police’ step in the way and demand THEIR papers and charges, grab videos, photos, plate numbers and anything else of note and he’ll if you can follow them to wherever they go so people don’t just vanish.
Except my chats are not subject to public records act laws for oversight and public information, so if I choose to keep them off record it’s not illegal.
There came to be an alternate term of ‘volcel’ for that, at least to the extent that you recognize that your situation isn’t conducive to a relationship even if the causes are not really voluntary. It never really caught on in popular use though.
If the same letters can be reused I might try a junkyard. If not, maybe 3D printing and chrome paint?
I first heard of it with the 4chan R9K board, but I guess it goes back even further than that. I suppose it’s quite possible that by the time 4chan got a hold of the term that was at least the beginning of it becoming poisoned, or it may have already been taken over by that point.
Incel is such an oddly self reinforcing thing. As I recall it the term started as a self identification (I can’t get laid, there for am an involuntary-celibate), which ended up with these self ID people declaring someone else is at fault for their situation, then that attitude got so pervasive it became a given term (you can’t get laid BECAUSE you’re an incel).
Morphing of language and all, similar happened with ‘woke’. Either way, if these folks could comprehend a simple fact that the one person you can demand change of is yourself then maybe they could get out of that cycle.
I rather like the notions of composting or just being planted in the dirt with a bunch of trees. Not sure on the rules or costs though.
They exist, if it gets to the point like with the Floyd protests you can bet Donnie won’t hesitate to point the military at the citizens, then things would get very interesting.
It’s right in there with the clause where all the 2A fans claiming defence against out of control gov lay down and kiss ass if it’s only against ‘those’ people.
Meep meep!
What do you expect when the company is run by a loony toon?
This is part of the annoyance of Nix as a desktop though. With windows you have 64bit and (for whatever reason) x86 versions of apps and it’s generally just assumed to work with what your running, unless you have an antique with win98 or something.
With Nix there are a a whole pile of possible variables and ways to install things. Particularly with people getting so used to phone/tablet app stores the need for easy install, use, removal is needed for mass adoption. Nobody wants to create folder structures and set environment variables to use some app.
For server hosting it’s the only way to go.
Gaming has improved significantly, although it’s rather frustrating that it’s by all these compatibility layers and such rather than native run.
For desktop, as a workstation and general purpose it’s ‘ok’ with rough edges. Things like (limited tests with a couple common distros like Ubuntu/Mint/Bazzite) the nextcloud app not supporting virtual files that have been available for a while in Windows and domain auth being twitchy where I’ve tried.
For the end user a big part is being able to just find an app and use it, no compiling or tweaking of settings needed for it to do what’s expected. Package managers help greatly, but with the huge number of distros out there it makes it really hit and miss to say just go for it. The relatively few times you can just download a Linux version of an app from a site (as people are prone to doing if they go read about something on the web) you often would have to go chmod +x it and quite possibly have to run it from a CLI rather than just click the downloaded app.
So usable yes, but in a place where I could just drop it on someone and say go to town less so…
Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn’t see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.
I would say maybe a case of what are you referring to as attractive. I’m also iny 40s and would say 20s looks good, BUT, the gap in lived experiences, world views, musical tastes, etc, would get tiresome very quickly.
I also recognize that I’m not some Hollywood hero pretty myself, so trying to base a relationship on what is physically appealing as the first thought is not going to go far.
Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I’d like to maintain that state.
I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn’t seem to work with any of the ‘AD compatible’ replacements I’ve tried.
Big thing holding me up is domain auth. Someone had decent luck getting something like Bazzite joined to a DC without major manual work?
I mean, they might be very strong. So strong in fact that others may wish to come join on their rock. Perhaps for their strength these newcomers could make some payment to them to help defray the costs of protecting their space and providing services…
