If I were him, I would accept that I was at odds with the power structure, but rather than compromise or conform, i would just put everything on social media. Anything that can be justified as being made available for the public good in terms of trying to get things done, make these slimeballs fuck him over extremely publicly. Destroy the facade of democracy further.

That's all there really is to do, imo, but he could probably get it done.

it's easy to tell if somebody has struggled in life, because if you place property damage as a greater sin than the things triggering a fucking riot, you haven't struggled.

i have been observing voluntary dietary restrictions already and am seriously tempted to make the leap to vegetarian, because what i'm learning right now about avoiding certain foods is that it's hard, it's annoying, but it's doable, and I am capable of cooking my own food to some robust degree. It's time.

Vegan is another step beyond, i might get there someday, but i'm interested in moving that way. The inertia of a lifetime of eating meat, my relative lack of means, and the stress of life makes big changes difficult right now, but I accept the moral arguments, I want to get there.

i feel like every time the dems lose we get to watch them in real time adapt their morality to be worse

these sorts of pipeline questions feeding people who, maybe had goodness in their hearts at one point, slowly being guided away from the light of God.

i just got home and updated the thread! thank you.

i invoke my dead name in the past tense to quote people talking to/at me, but otherwise i refer to past self as my chosen name.

using the new name is more respectful, helps you learn the name yourself, helps you associate that person with the new name, and using the deadname just means you're more likely to use it in even less justifiable contexts.

I dont even hate my dead name! I made it my middle name! but absolutely still... use the new name.

Meta posting opens the door to shame and ridicule. I've already seen this happen by browsing the modlog a few times - it just got handled and i think that it's absolutely good it was handled. i think there's nothing to really say about MA that can't be discussed as issues arise, privately. For better or worse, there are people who enjoy wrecking stuff like it. Issues with specific users can be handled by mods and admins - a lot of what can be said about it would be to curtail or limit the function of MA - the additional burden would be suppressive of use.

Please don't give any room to the sorts who want to metapost about mutual aid - I'm sure some folks mean well, but it's just going to enable drama that doesn't need exist and will impede function
