Yeah man if I were in charge of the post office I'd definitely push for that AND the return of postal banking. Every post office in the United States would be your one stop service for this email so if there are authentication issues or anything you can actually go there and talk to a PERSON, IN-PERSON.

You would use this system specifically for official government correspondence, and also it'd be better for job seeking too - any situation where you need to be communicating as YOURSELF, fully verified.

I'd even throw in social media features. Forums, microblogging, live chat groups... however, everyone's identity is clear and certain. No anonymity here. There is privacy insofar as what's between you and the government stays between you and the government, but if you want anonymity and to express opinions without someone knowing who you are, that's to be done elsewhere.

Instead of a social media website that lies to you and pretends dishonestly to give you privacy, this would have to be up front about the fact that it's public property. A town square where you're wearing a name tag. If you don't want your neighbors knowing your rhetorical positions, post them elsewhere. Those other places, private services, and important and need to exist as counterbalance.

I'm sure many criminals would be stupid enough to use it for human trafficking and contraband smuggling shit though so that'll help uncover and discipline rogue elements.

the child lives

gg ez

in fact the only way you'd get me to let the palestinian child die is if you strapped netanyahu to the tracks next to him.

analogous structures like these helped me break down the false barrier in my mind about men and women being fundamentally different as if the two reproductive castes are monoliths. they aren't. they are staggeringly similar. Especially mind-blowing was learning that the default structure is what we classify as "female".

Every mammalian fetus starts development along the female bodyplan, and unless acted upon by the external impulses of a y-chromosome, the mammal's bodyplan will continue to develop in a way that appears entirely female, EVEN IF the y-chromosome is actually present.

Such as: If it's there but it doesn't work (if it's malformed or partially missing), or if it's there AND it works but the REST of the cells aren't responding to the androgens. Turns out the X "set" contains all the instructions needed to make a sentient being, even if it's very likely that this being will not be capable of reproduction through traditional means.

The point is, everything you can point to on the male anatomy, all those tissues exist in the female anatomy, they're just distributed differently. And that's freaking cool.

... but lemmy and masto do completely different things

masto's a microblogging platform like twitter and lemmy is a link aggregator like reddit

honestly i kinda wish there were a rebuild of email that is compatible with the old system but was redesigned from the ground up to do the job better

i like a mutual relationship where neither of us take it in the ass

🔫👨‍🚀 I always have.

Cannibal doesn't belong on this spectrum because it has direct overlap with birds that eat their own species, fish that eat their own species, and insects that eat their own species. There are also plants that eat other plants, although those are rare as well. Tortoises will eat the flesh of their own species too.

now, if you're attempting to define carnivore as a life form that exclusively eats its own species and nothing else... those do not exist. even cannibalistic humans supplement their nutrition with other biomass.

at first i was going to joke, but it's a subject worth serious consideration.

(the joke was going to be along the lines of 'um akshully cannibals eat fewer animals because by definition the more people-eating they do the less animal-eating they do' or something)

Wife material.

Honestly we gotta sink these castles faster if we ever want to reach the bedrock of this swamp XD
