I’m also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .
Ah yes, the leftists mortal enemy, the less-idealogically-pure leftist.
Of the people that care enough to vote, leftists are a clear minority. We need to find people to work with on specific, community-building goals, even if we can’t agree with them on everything (or anything!) else.
Judge might sentence him, but ACAB includes DoC, so he’d miraculously escape custody.
II think it’s entirely possible the world is fucked. Climate crisis won’t come during his 2nd administration, but the 4 years we lose in national and international regulation is going to make it impossible to prevent.
It’ll be slow, but before 2061, I expect the death of the global Internet, and global shipping, and most air travel. Electrical grids will fracture or fail and the pieces used for smaller (at most regional) grid. Cities won’t be able to maintain the sewer pumps, and Cholera will start killing people again. Gas lines will stop maintaining pressure.
I don’t plan on sticking around that long. My BP has always been bad, so I figure just indulging my vices will make this no my problem, and I don’t have a partner or descendants.
If you prefer not embracing despair, I suggest looking into how you and your dearest can survive without infrastructure. Local food production, local power and medicine production. Don’t count on supplies you can’t retrieve within a day of travel, and don’t count on the state to maintain roads. “Solarpunk” might be a good search term. Also, might prepare for unpredictable shifts in the local climate, like preferring indoor growing.
If anyone has data that says we can avoid climate collapse with no new national or international regulation before 2029, I’d love to hear it. Please.
I never claimed they would use non-voting as a signal for anything, only that they count votes as agreement, not mere tolerance.
Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.
But, even if you believe there must be revolution and the current system CANNOT be reformed, voting is still harm reduction, unless revolution will happen before the results of the election can influence the system.
Or “swordfish”
Yeah, my current position is this way, and I’m a $programmingLanguage Developer.
Are you implying that the assassination attempt(s) might be attempts to save the GOP?
KFC / Pizza Hut / Taco Bell – the only restaurant you need!
I haven’t looked in a while but in 2020, prune juice was still in the mandatory ingredients list. It’s mainly corn syrup and water, but prune juice is involved, I think
I think this is my new head cannon, the distracted Mr. Pibb and his focused wife, Dr. Pepper.
I never imagined they were married, just that Dr. Pepper was his superior.
cradle the balls…stroke the shaft…work the pipe…swallow the gravy
At very least there’s an OCX for InteractiveHtmlView or some stuff. It’s how South Korean banks apps run. I think even the EU-specific “unbundled IE” versions still have that ActiveX / OLE control registered, though it might be crippled.
On my phone? All the damn time, since I use a lot of jargon and shorthand that it doesn’t understand, as well as a few neologisms. But, I’m a much worse typist on my phone.
On my Linux desktop or $dayjob’s Windows laptop? Almost never, as it is much less aggressive about replacing what I typed.
Although, he admits in the video to “faking” his footage of it working, by using a off-camera heat source. (His batteries were quite dead.)
But, as someone that lived through this time, they did work, as long as you pressed hard enough in the right places. It was hard to tell if the battery was dead or if you weren’t pressing hard enough
I like it, but I like most Mtn. Dew flavors.
Definitely inspired by peach tea, if that helps.
The whole reason I got on YT Premium was because it was free with Google Play Music. I have real issues watch non-Premiun now, because I’ve always disliked advertising methods. (Not so much th ads, which can be entertaining, but just being shown content I didn’t request instead of the content I did request.)
We use it as medicine for our dog. And, if you have parasites, it’s good in human doses. I think it can also be given prophylactically. I haven’t seen any evidence it should be used to treat any virus, respiratory or other.
