I understand your sentiment internet friend. It made me insane too (and I have dual citizenship and have lived outside the States for a very long time).

But with the recent SCOTUS rulings + the planning that went into P25, this time is truly, uniquely different. If Trump wins this time, it is game over for any future ways to save democracy and anyone but cis, white, het Xian men and the women who remain subservient to them. There will be no “close your eyes and think of England” for four years then back to normal. There will be no way back to normal for generations.

So my thought is that anything, anything that gets the attention of even one more prospective Dem voter is ok.

You have to buy the book dummy - it’s always a grift inside a grift. Here, spend some coin: https://www.project2025.org/policy/

I have not bought the book. Many, many scholars have. I suppose they are all lying though, you know, deep state this that or something?

This is a good answer and probably the right solution (still not 100% convinced defederating isn’t, ultimately, going to be the answer though).

But your Jane/Joe Average User doesn’t look to see which instance that pr0n cute picture of a cat holding a teddy bear is on. They probably don’t even understand the concept of different instances showing content from others. Hell I’ve been online since 1992 and it took me a couple of days to get my head around it when I joined.

So I think we need some kind of step by step “If you see X, then do Y” sticked to the instances that care about this for the people who (like me) do care about this issue.

Department of war math represent.

Going to try this, but can you even use operators like this on Google anymore in a any meaningful way?

double edge safety razor with feather blades

This is the way to do it. Before I grew my beard I shaved every day, maybe skipping a weekend day (I have a moderate, but not heavy beard). A Feather blade lasted me about three shaves comfortably, but I could make it go five if I were traveling for a week. Three was optimal.

Now I only trim my cheeks and the “neckbeard” area below my real beard every two or thee days, and the same Feather lasts about three weeks I’d say? Maybe four?

No matter what, ditch the cartridges! They were literally invented as a scam; they are worse for your skin; and they are far easier to operate than people make it out to be.

People who travel in sweat pants and hoodies or “athlileasure” (sp?) cloths on airplanes. Yeah, I get that you want to pretend it’s a big sleepover, but I don’t want to be in a sleepover with you. I’m probably not looking forward to this trip and am already stressed. I just find it to be somehow disrespectful of others, not sure why.

I’m probably the weird one on this peeve, but I have to travel a lot for work. People do this shit on long distance trains too.

Other pet peeve is when someone corrects someone else’s pronunciation of a word in a condescending manner. The person mispronouncing the word probably read it in a book and has just never heard it pronounced in the wild. Making fun of someone trying expand their vocabulary is just petty. There are nice ways to correct them and actually help them they could have used.

Every Thanksgiving, without fail.

It would be very useful if you found that again and posted it.

You make some good points, thanks for that. And unfortunately as you allude, this may become the fate of many in the not too distant future, whether they choose the lifestyle of their own volition …or not.

…and because they did not use the original script they hired William Gibson to write.

Same here. I actually had a dream about this happening once, kind of.

All that is true, but you forgot to add the part where the person living the life you propose is healthy, quite fit even. Not everyone, even fit young people, would do well living in a tent while they try to understand how to build a house. Let alone run a concessions stand from a van or something. That takes a massive physical toll and not even over the long run.

Interesting question, upvoting and commenting for visibility.

Just discovered this, good tool!

The right to access the internet via broadband wherever possible. Money should not prevent this.

That’s how it is here in NL. We have the right to die, but you need to have several consultations first, and these usually include your family and/or friends at a certain point.

I do not think it’s too invasive or cumbersome if I believe a recent article (in De Telegraaf so maybe not the most accurate?) that said the process usually takes between six months and a year.

Link? Is it one of the below?

I worked for about ten years in competitive intelligence, both agency and client side. That was a very long time ago.

What’s the point in sitting on your ass complaining about the behaviours of other individuals and organisations when the only thing you have direct control over is your life.

I’m not challenging you on the “sitting on your ass” part because that is true. But I promise you the Earth getting hotter and more polluted is going to exert “direct control …over your life.” And the only real way we can change this is through some kind of political process.
