  • Amongst stated reasons, “signing up” is more difficult here. Its not as straightforward a process and content isn’t as spoon fed to you as other platforms. The tech literacy needed to get here isn’t high, but as I learned the average tech literacy is abysmal.

    About 10ish years ago when I was 14, I helped some people print something. They tried printing something from a computer plugged into the printer, an error popped up saying “printer not connected”. I thought, thr printer must be, yknow disconnected. Some 6 people had gatherd trying to troubleshoot this but were stumped. I pointed out the error message that kept coming up, didn’t click. I followed the cables from the pc to the printer, it was disconnected, I plugged it in and reported back. They where stumped on how I possibly knew what was wrong or how to fix it.

    I am not good with technology, but im good enough to know im not good with technology. I have found most people, even those younger or same age tend to not be tech literate.

    Finding the application and filling it out for any random federated instance may seem like nothing but it requires an ammount of literacy many Americans dont have.




  • I work as an educator for educators, its our responsibility to teach them everything they need to know. We commonly fail when associates dont ask questions when they dont know. Its nigh impossible to teach everything in general.

    What im trying to say is, hardly anyone can simply teach you everything you should know. Where does one start teaching? Look both ways before you cross the street? Dont trust the internet? There is so much knowledge to be learned and its hard to gauge what someone else may or may not know and what specificly they need to learn. It also depends on personal context what information is relevant to you. Street smarts for NY is different than LA, from suburbs to rural.

    The most important thing is to ask specific questions when you are unsure. Your on the right track, best of luck. and for most things in society there is hardly one empiricaly “correct” answer.

    Its tough but dor everything that you encounter that you are not sure about, what it means or so, ask, research. Its tough and skow goinf but thats how you learn. It takes a lifetime to learn and a lifetime to overcome bad learning.


  • OP leaving out the its happened at least 3 times now sequentially is a big thing. Being late once 5 minutes? Let a person be late, yknow maybe? They are habitually late, thats not a rough morning but a constant lack of punctuality. Yeah, no. They should be ready by 7 sharp, they should be making sure they can be and if they cant making such arrangements with the gym (if they work for the gym)

    This is not they are late 5 minutes this one time, this is, my trainer isn’t being responsible, im getting jipped, I have tried escalating it but its not working, what can I do?





  • I agree, people disagree, seriously, I don’t care about the tweering stuff, but, say I gather 20-50 people and hold a demonstration at what, city hall? State Capitol? My local, and stae government wont change. So what am I supposed to do? go to a republican state and cause aimless mayhem? Am I supposed to take a semester off from college and work with the funds I do not have to travel to D.C. and what call for him to step down? His impeachment? Better accountability? He wont, his party wont.

    What’s needed is not a protests, not a demonstration, not even a riot could seemingly change this. Realistically it would need to be a revolution. and Realistically people living paycheck to paycheck are not highly motivated to throw away thier life so they can risk thier life to start a “revolution”



  • 1% or less.

    1. They probably wont nullify the 2 term limit, can’t easily go back and after trump, will there be a democrat monarch?

    2. He wants fame and wealth, he will burn everything to get it. In this term he will burn the most of the bridges with his backers.

    3. His actions will accelerate the victory or death of his backers. Either his backers wont need him or cant back him, so he probably will get waning support.

    4. He may not live until the end of his term, let alone a third.

    5. He is too prideful, he wont bow to being a VP and will pull something that will sabotage the president on ticket.

    6. U.S.A. or the world may be destroyed in the next 5 or so years.

    7. He will try at least 1 coup this term, i’d be suprised if it wasn’t more. He will fail and/or drag the nation to civil war in the process. He doesn’t have the backing of the army and not all states are under him

    For any of these reasons or a combination therof, makes him serving a third term highly, highly unlikely.




  • I was going to reply with this. This is exactly one of the problems. I didn’t have a Twitter, but I wanted to join mastadon. I had to find a way to access it, and an instance to sign up on. In theory it’s good but for a new user it can be difficult to sign up.

    Then ofc the difficulty of finding content, there is content, but part of the no frills meant most of the stuff I saw wasn’t in English (I am a mon-english speaker) and it was tricky to figure out how to juat get English content let alone content I was interested in.
