I’m not saying that Bird was named luigi. But it could have been.

I mean that’s a fair thought.

But even by USA capitalist standards, this specific man was a monster who in a just world wouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything. The world is slightly better off without such a greedy and heartless man in it.

Haha, they have been trying to tell Twitter to do things, with some law suits out.

Which is why members of the US government are now threatening to leave NATO if they continue to bully twitter, since Elon is in charge of a quarter of our government.

I mean, how would you like them to monetize?

What they are planning sounds similar to discord nitro, which I think is fine.

Also in the article: " Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added. "

Like this is so nonsensical. Talking to press about a company having broken a rule even though they are not under your jurisdiction, but you haven’t bothered to contact yet, is just wild.

If they reached out and said “Hey, before you reach these metrics you need to fulfill these requirements” and bluesky told them to pound sand, that’d be good to know.

But “Company who doesn’t have to follow a rule is not following the rule, and we’d like them to, but haven’t told them we’d like them to” is not news.

From the article (different paragrpahs) " “All platforms in the EU . . . have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established,” said commission spokesman Thomas Regnier. “This is not the case for Bluesky as of today. This is not followed.”

Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added.

“The commission cannot regulate Bluesky directly as it does not yet reach the threshold of more than 45mn monthly users in the EU to be designated a very large online platform. But Regnier said that if member states could identify a EU-based representative for the company, Brussels would “reach out to Bluesky”.” "

The head line is nonsense. They are not in the EU and they don’t have over 45 million users in the EU. So the rules in no way apply to them.

Straight up I was conservative as a young teen, because that’s what EVERYONE was here in Utah when I was in the LDS church.

Now I just keep floating more and more left as time goes on.

Haha makes sense! I forgot I posted it, but as an experiment I actually did this just to see how hard it is.

But I mean the main things you need are calories, vitamins, and complete proteins. Flour is the cheapest calorie you can get in the US, so cooking your own biscuits, tortillas, sour dough, and gravy will always be the most calories for your buck.

Soy is a complete protein by itself, but rice and beans together are as well. Rice and beans is also a king of calories per price, so there is a reason I put it on there, and a reason you are alive it sounds like it!

The last thing is vitamins from veggies/fruit. In my post I used small amounts of dried fruit in oatmeal, peas in gravy, then tomato sauce. So getting a mix cheap frozen/canned/dried fruit then having a bit of that each day will help. As will making gravies/sauces with different veggies/stir fries.

I was able to do it under $2, and I might try it again with all different meals to try and make sure I can practice what I preach. I make one off cheap meals a lot, but don’t always do a full day.

Hey if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!

Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering. I’m not one for hunting, but I keep debating going foraging since I live near mountains in Utah. Spend the day hiking in nice weather and end the day with food you normally wouldn’t have? Sounds like a good day.

Hey man if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!

Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering.

My man I don’t think you belong the the MARXIST LENNIST instance if you’re this aggro at someone saying something as generic as “Billionaires exploited people to get their billions”

If the option is you all not eating enough, and eating primarily cheap bulk foods, do pick the cheap bulk foods. With cheap seasonings and making your own tortillas, breads, and gravies, you can have a large variety using the same 20ish cheap base ingredients.

So when you want cheap protein, what is affordable in denmark? Cheeses? Lentils? Yogurt? Sounds like it’s a lot more where you live, so curious what is the good choice there.

Ahh interesting! In Denmark what is the cheap protein replacement? In the US it’s mostly all dried beans.

This is ML memes. If you came in here expecting us not to be over the top about “seize the means of production” and “eat the rich” then you gotta pay more attention.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m far enough to the left to participate in ML.

Capitalism demands you eat legumes or go into debt.

The rebellion demands you stay alive how you need to and organize, which in the US means eating cheap proteins as you gotta.

You’re not wrong! But I felt like some people wouldn’t think of split peas, and wanted to call out more than just “beans”

By all means, show me some billionaires that never took advantage of anyone to get their billions and actually earned it. I’m down to change my view.

You’ll have to clarify what is wrong with my methods.

Where are you buying dried beans?

These are 1.28 a pound, if you have a winco or costco you can get much cheaper.

These are 2 dollars a pound.

So like you would turn this into hummus and eat it with bread/tortillas you made from flour.
