Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•So how would you say you decide the precise allocation of donations between starving people in Gaza & Programmers For BeerEnglish
4·9 days agoWhy don’t we take care of each other as decent people? Why do we have to decide who is more worthy? We have too many money-grubbing billionaires. Maybe if we watched out for each other, we wouldn’t have to worry about what the other guy is doing.
Maybe it wouldn’t work, but it would be nice to try. Look what happened in 1914:

133·22 days ago“This technology turns every router into a potential means for surveillance,” warns Julian Todt from KASTEL. “If you regularly pass by a café that operates a WiFi network, you could be identified there without noticing it and be recognized later – for example by public authorities or companies.”
Later…
Inexpensive or older routers either don’t store history at all or keep it for a short time.
Newer models can store more information for more extended periods.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Many mythology seem to share a concept of spirits is there an explanation for that?English
111·1 month agoYour question is broader than you think.
For one culture to have an idea and share it to others isn’t uncommon. Pyramids are in Egypt and Mesoamerica. Giants exist in many cultural myths (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_giants_in_mythology_and_folklore) as are ghosts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ghosts).
You see, an idea that’s communicated is a meme.
" A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. "

If you’re considering spirit as a soul
https://www.planksip.org/the-concept-of-the-soul-in-ancient-philosophy-and-soul-1763067454225/
TL;DR: So, why does it exist across cultures? It’s a meme.

I guess it depends on the cartel’s focus. Are they a drug cartel?
The Black Orchard — growers, & brewers.
The Phantom Crucible — they use experimental chemistry to make their product.
A price cartel (where they fix prices)? They would be focused on money.
The Thorned Veil — a cartel that hides behind beauty, elegance, and deception.
The Broken Halo Network — fallen idealists turned organized criminals.
A territorial cartel (where they have regions)? If you do “business” in another region, it might be your last “transaction”.
The Crimson Ledger — every wrong and debt is written in blood.
The Ashen Wolves — enforcers who leave nothing but ashes of trespassers (or their buildings if they set up shop in the wrong place).
