Indeed. I might vote for some Greens down-ballot, but Stein is a stain on the party and its cause
Certainly if she has been trying to effect real change in a realistic way, rather than an egocentric impossible run at the presidency.....
Things would have been different. She was one of many straws, which if subtracted, would have prevented trump
So for that and that alone, she and the rest of the greens can fuck right off.
See the No Labels folks for a more common sense way to be activist on national level politics.
Greens would be great if they would focus on good, winnable races from the bottom up....
What that called again?? Uhh 'grass roots'
I'm not a huge trek nerd, but recently watched the whole series, and the two main irritations were the blatant/unnecessary/annoying/offensive sexualization, and the theme song.
It's easy to skip the opening sequence but the gratuitous fetishizing was pretty awful. The whole series would have been better without.
They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.
It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again
Someone has no idea how memes work
One of the two men you mentioned will win -- barring a death before the election, either Biden or Trump will be elected.
All the wanking in the world isn't going to result in a third option with even the remotest chance.
An extremely moving story, and it's unconscionable that she had to travel to receive care.
I hope her advocacy touches people, but it seems like most of those 'representing' her and other mothers like her are not interested.
I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.
Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.
But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like "stickers" and then the pin-code harassment.
Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)
So,.like
was this guy in a relatively large volume chamber/booth and they just trickled the N2 gas in?
If there was enough volume, it could take a long time for the O2 levels to get low enough for him to pass out... BUT does a human body produce enough CO2 to fill that space to the point of triggering the suffocation response? Seems unlikely...
OR did they just strap a rebreather mask to his face and turn on a few l/min?
Were any specifics about the actual setup published?
I've mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.
Those shadow accounts would need to be 'lived in' to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices
border agents were extremely suspicious.

The Vektar, the worlds first computer bike, was launched in 1985 long before we had health and safety laws. Equipped with ‘micro chip technology’ the rider could see how fast they were going, how far they had gone and how long they had been riding for at the touch of a button. The head’s down display ensured that you would ride into the back of your mate or a kerb as you fiddled with the control panel.
If that wasn’t enough you could listen to the radio on one of the three AM preset stations either while riding the bike or parked up hanging out with their pals. Later models came with a MW tuner giving even less crappy sound quality.
The main feature though was the advanced warning and alarm system. Once you had chosen one of the eight sounds from the ‘revolutionary sound generator’ on the top tube mounted control panel, you could use the handlebar mounted controller to terrorise old ladies as you rallied around the housing estate
And so do the app devs -- at least Apollo and RiF have said so explicitly.
As I understand it, reddit announced that they would start charging for API in April. Everyone was concerned/interested but also agreed that reddit should get paid.
The issue is that the amount Reddit wants is 10x to 20x what would be 'typical' for API access like this. (I'm NOT an expert/informed on what normal pricing is, that's just what I've read in multiple sources)
The OTHER issue is that while the announcement of changes/charges was made in April, the (very high) pricing was just announced and there are only 30 days before it starts. That is definitely not enough time for developers to find revenue to cover the higher costs, write the code for app updates, test and deploy. 30 days is just not enough time to get it done.
Apollo seems to be taking the lead/brunt of the publicly visible controversy and has proposed that they could make the transition and pay the bill, IF it was half of what Reddit asks (so, 5-10x typical?) and they allow 90 days for apps to update/implement.
That seems like a pretty reasonable approach, I think.
However other factors that indicate that Reddit really just wants to kill all other apps is that outside apps will never be allowed access to nudity/NSFW content, and they are not allowed to run in-app advertising. Obviously a lot of users are interested in NSFW content and not many users prefer to pay for that app, most people tolerate the ads.
YET, Apollo thinks that they could make it work if given 90 days and a slightly more reasonable price. However spez (reddit CEO) has refused to reply or engage on that proposal.
Your story is very sad, and I am sorry you had do go through all of that. It sounds pretty horrific and over an extended period.
I hope you find some peace, through talking or posting or maybe eventually some therapy.
I think you will find that more people are supportive than not, though every crowd will have some assholes. Be selective with irl folks that you talk with, but finding a support group could be very helpful.
