Co-op delivery company in the works?!

Great on Tony, doing the damn thing!

https://fitsmallbusiness.com/what-is-a-cooperative-co-op/

A cooperative, or co-op, is an organization owned and controlled by the people who use the products or services the business produces. Cooperatives differ from other forms of businesses because they operate more for the benefit of members, rather than to earn profits for investors.

Co-ops are organized to provide competition, improve bargaining power, reduce costs, expand new and existing market opportunities, improve product or service quality, and obtain unavailable products or services (products or services that profit-driven companies don’t offer because they see them as unprofitable).

Cooperatives present lots of opportunities for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. In this post, I’ll go over how cooperatives work, why you should form one, and how you can start one for your business.

I prefer dots over spaces.

Spaces can mess with stuff, double space…

True, politics makes Musk a tribalist issue.

Anti-semitism is a real thing, but Israel-Palestine has always made it harder to understand. If it is truly anti-religious or just questioning Israel gov’t and actions.

Seems like a smear of Musk for not siding with Israel and instead calling for a ceasefire or peace.

Looking at the talk Musk had with Lex Fridman.

Nice!

Was not expecting that, hahaha

edit:2 words

Seems like a positive, good on FCC.

Seems to not be a race problem, it is more on working class vs. wealthy class problem.

Wealthier neigborhoods vs. working class neigborhoods.

Interesting news to follow, can’t wait for independent yters and the like to start commenting on this.

Reminds me of tribalism talks.

  • Bottom line

    • “This experiment demonstrates that our political pre-dispositions can strongly influence our numerical reasoning regardless of our political persuasion.”

• Tribalism: How to Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem

  • Whether it’s race, religion, or politics, tribalism threatens all we hold dear. [July 31, 2022| John G. Cottone Ph.D. The Cube]

    • https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-cube/202207/tribalism-how-be-part-the-solution-not-the-problem

    • To keep our tribalist impulses in check, I believe we must regularly ask ourselves difficult questions:

      • Do I know how to recognize the propaganda of my own tribe, and resist it when I see it?

      • Do I recognize that every event can be viewed from multiple perspectives and that my tribe’s perspective is just one of many?

      • Do I pursue multiple perspectives on important issues with intellectual honesty — or do I only solicit my own tribe’s political perspective?

      • Do I call out members of my own tribe for bad behavior as often as I call out members of rival tribes — or do I rationalize and ignore their transgressions?

      • Do I have compassion for everyone on the road of truth, even those who are walking today where I walked yesterday?

Yes, bad actors or testers of rules will always be a thing when discussing the best kind of topics.

Rules get updated also, so I know I need to keep a look out so as not to make simple mistakes within communties.

Thanks for adding further into your reason for posting!

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for bringing this up.

I do not see this type of post too often, which should be important when trying to be better than other social media.

Some sites hide comment or post behind a warning, sucks but better than deleting.

Yes, modlog is really bare bones.

Awesome to see this discussion continue, while also seeing many different views on this topic!

Thanks!

edit: links fixed

I did a quick search and found only these:

Not sure about neutral/pro/con of them though.

Ron Swanson has a much better way of phrasing it, hahaha

From Parks and Recreation.

Talking about being a pirate in the high seas.

Torrents and 3rd party sites, and such.

Seems like some people will learn more on how cars work so as to disable the features…

“Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. Automakers are exponentially increasing the number of sensors they place in their cars every year with little regulation of the practice.”

Thanks for sharing!

Looks like this is the norm now, Technofeudalism is here, goodbye capitalism.

Following the censorship over the years, looks similar to what happened with legacy media (main stream media).

Quote included in post:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

In short, the Internet opened the door to a much larger, more diverse, and more vibrant world than I would have otherwise been able to experience; and enabled me to be an active participant in, and contributor to, that world. All of this helped me to learn, and to grow into a more well-rounded person.

In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.

Fear can be a valuable tool, guiding us away from danger. However, fear can also be a mental cage that keeps us from all of the things that make life worth living. Individuals and families must be allowed to strike the right balance for themselves, based on their own unique circumstances and needs. A world of mandatory fear is a world ruled by fear – a dark place indeed.

Unfortunately, what is right doesn’t always prevail. As much as I wish circumstances were different, the stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse – are simply too much. Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically. Frankly, I don’t want to have a heart attack in my 30s.

Everything spys on us, not just tiktok. Yes, steps can be taken to lessen the spying, but in the end of the day we are just self censoring ourselves from other platforms.

Social media is here to stay and the masses use it as a way to get information/entertainment.

Making burner accounts are a thing, share information that goes against the status quo, I think that is admirable.

Only way people are exposed to certain viewpoints is by joining that bubble and going against the narrative.

In the end this gets complicated for various reasons, what do y’all suppose is the best course of action to go against the status quo?

Off topic thought I had when I saw this, more on the system being the problem.

This made me think of an interview with Richard Wolff and Lex Fridman.

Richard tries to explain his views on Marxism and Communism, #295.

He mentions problems with academia, and how it is tied to the corporate world.

Around 1:41:00, gov’t/academics/corporations are all tied together in keeping the same system going.

To try and get back to topic, it may have to do with the kind of people needed to excel in competitive areas like a university/company/government.

Less on taking care of people and more on competing with each other to be the best…

Reminds me of sports and the fierce environment it produces. Some people adapt and become like them or they feel isolated.

Seems like it for now

Until next time, we shall keep looking for ways to get around it!
