I guess I’m worried primarily about internal enemies too, but I don’t think we’d agree on which entities are the problem for some reason…

Me too, eyelash extensions that rival the city’s stadium in importance.
Active support of something totally morally unacceptable seems more morally culpable than refusing to participate. I don’t think most people are consequentialists—the how matters.
That’s a lot of nozzles
At my first full time job my supervisor specified that I could hang up on anyone who brought up their lawyer, used abusive language, or brought up the BBB.
I’m on kbin so I only see upvotes:)
I think you’re arguing with ghosts, I’m honestly confused about what you’re trying to say and can’t keep track of all the assumptions you’re putting on the very little I said… I was truly trying to critique the fact that democrats specifically seem to jump to ‘Russian conspiracy’ very quickly when someone mentions they don’t believe in voting despite the fact that a large fraction of the population abstains from voting on a regular basis. You would think one would expect to run into a lot of true nonvoters given the statistics.
I made a meme claiming democrats call anyone who says they don’t vote a russian conspiracist, you gave a bunch of (likely incorrect, based on the real data) guesses about why people might not vote.
If anyone is interested in the actual reasons people give, you’re mostly out of luck because there is precious little research, neither of the major parties seem to care about this demographic, and neither do pollsters for the most part. Here’re the results of some research following the 2020 presidential (based on a fairly small sample).
Spoiler: It’s not because they don’t have time.
My hypothesis that democrats immediately leap to russian conspiracy rather than looking for actual reasons?
People are always like “it doesn’t do anything we couldn’t do with SQL,” as if riding a horse isn’t an improvement in transportation over walking. Things don’t have to be impossible to accomplish in any other way in order to be marginally more useful or efficient depending on the goal. Public ledgers are indeed useful. Blockchain is one technology among a small handful that might be appropriate for your project depending on trust dynamics it demands. Consensus protocols are also useful.
One example, right now our global food supply’s movement and distribution is based largely on market dynamics. Say we want to focus on distribution based on need instead. A blockchain based ledger could allow a fred to ‘commit’ a few bushels of carrots which george ‘commits’ to transporting to mike, who in turn has committed to do do a supply run to Uruguay with his barge. Could they have done this in excel? Probably. Would it be more organized on blockchain? Yes. Would a regular database with a lot of contributors that is carefully designed to keep out bad actors work too? Yes, sure.
Is there an ending that doesn’t involve people starving? Maybe a post-food-scarcity one?
Conquest of bread predates the USSR but I suspect Kropotkin wouldn’t be a fan
Unless you memorized your 14 digit library card number so you could log into the public computers you are off my friends list
I did not so I guess we can’t chill:(
Unless you painstakingly made your own AIM icon gif by slightly editing still images in photoshop that you had to export using imageready and then crush into oblivion to fit the file size limit you are dead to me
The only part I feel confident with right now is safely obtaining the media. I’m fine with that step being manual.
I think you’ve surmised the answer ꒰(・‿・)꒱
