@mcc the *general* idea of a high risk/reward business venture is not totally crazy. I really don't want to veer into the idea that capital markets are a morally valorous technology, that would be like saying we should shove random stuff into a blast furnace because blast furnaces are cool, but there *is* a non-nightmare version of this, where this sort of investment goes towards creative projects. You could argue that movie studios and haute cuisine restaurants look like this.

@mcc and where it's used as an escape character, the series is reversed, as a clue...

@bellegraylane like I said, it's been years since we interacted personally. I don't know where things stand today, I just know I won't use loops or pixelfed.

@stux It seems the official statement is that impeachment is not even under consideration. The corporate masters of the people allowed to be "leaders" of the Democratic won't let them.

Please bring back some of Ron di Sanctimonious' own words to haunt him.

@mastodonmigration Yes, we are ... If I have anything to say about it. You realize the candidates that won in the places that most of them did were brought on board by Schumer and funded by his fund raising!

Climbing up to Timpanogos Cave's entrance was pretty neat. You sort of just wobble up the side of the Wasatch Range, on a remarkably paved path. #utah

What “this” are you referring to? The community? The mod list is on the sidebar. I assume that info federates to piefed.

Oui c’est la larmiche

Hmm, what is going on here, I wonder. It's suicidal to try to cross over the I-35 (in general). So, they aren't going across the I-35. People walking and just getting run over at the intersections? Car stalled out, hopped out and nailed by passing car? 🤔
