  • I feel with enough people working together, something could be done. I don’t mean to threaten anyone, so let’s just say the target is a Fictional Evil Technologically Advanced Billionaire, or FETAB ; and definitely not any real person. The strategy I have in mind would involve digging trenches outside his property and literally smoking him out by burning a huge pile of tires upwing.

    The biggest problem would be getting shot by drones while digging or while setting up the pile of tires (if it’s done during the purge) or being attacked by police if it’s done beforehand. I think secret underground tunnels should start being dug in secret before the purge, so they can collapse into trenches when needed. Then, the trenches keep FETAB from escaping by land in his FETAB-mobile, and the smoke makes a helicopter or private jet difficult to get of ground.

    Drones or makeshift aircrafts with makeshift incendiary bombs can be sent to the house under the cover of the smoke. Even assuming he is in an underground bunker, this much smoke would put it’s air filtration systems under significant stresses and also cause big material losses. In the end, he still have chances of making it out alive, his death would come either from suffocation in his bunker (if hos filters are saturated by soot and he doesn’t have enough bottled oxygen) or, more likely, him trying to escape and having an accident (made more likely by the smoke and trenches).



  • I personally use Fedilab for Mastodon, but idk if that makes such a difference. There isn’t really a discover feature that I know off, but remember to follow not only people, but also hashtags! This’ll show you stuff you’re interested in, and then you can follow the people posting stuff you like.

    You also have a local feed that shows stuff from the instance where your account is hosted, it turns handy especially if you’ve chosen an instanced themed around one of your centers of interest.










  • Good question, but I guess it also goes down to what you think Jesus was. Do you think he was God Incarnate or had a divine nature? Do you think he was a prophet of God, but himself simply human? Or just a cool guy, but nothing divine? In the first case, you are a Christian, even if you don’t identify with any of the well known versions of Christianity. After all, many different conceptions of Christianity have existed.

    In the third case, I don’t think there is or should be a term for it. After all, is there a word for someone who thinks Marcus Antoninus was a cool guy? If that’s not something that constitutes an important part of who you are and how you think, why should you be called anything in regards to it? Maybe depending on just how much you like him, we might call you a Jesus fan. Jesus fanboy or fangirl at worst. But there needsn’t be a specific word.

    Now, the middle case, where you recognize Jesus as a prophet is an interesting one, because several religions would qualify, including Manichaeism, Islam and Druzism; and as far as I know there isn’t a term that englobes them all without also including Judaism… If I were to invent a term for that, I might go with “jesuic” or “yeshuaic”, by analogy with the word “abrahamic” that englobes those who recognize Abraham as a prophet.
