Poutine though, more than once!

Having that soil requires land, which a ton of people don't have, or access to a social safety net which what little of it exists is actively being gutted. Where I live cars can legally run over any protestor in the road with no repercussions and the cops and legal system would cheer for them to do it. These are all differences vs the articles you linked previously. Resisting before we are organized right now is literally suicide, and even once organized many will still die (though it will likely be worth it at that point)

I share your anger, genuinely, but this is some pretty extreme victim blaming. This is unfortunately not the first or the last fascist regime the world has seen. Do you blame the Jews for "letting" Hitler kill them in camps, or the Chinese for "letting" themselves be run over by tanks? There absolutely are people to blame here and you are right to be livid with them but the remaining non-propgandized leftists in the states are just not it.

You are asking the remaining people who share your anger in the us to literally commit suicide by cop (or angry mob or life as a slave in private prison), which is just not helpful.

High stakes dance off. I never stood a chance against the wiley crustacean

Beat me to it. First thing I thought reading this list.

The big assumption here is that the website had time or money invested in it. I feel like the vast majority of websites these days are just ai garbage with enough ads to prevent you from even reading the thing and give your computer herpies as a bonus. The era of good faith advertising where the ads were reasonable and balanced with the quality of content is long gone. Most sites are now explicitly designed for exploitive data harvesting and endless ad delivery.

Of course, some websites are exceptions to this and adblock can easily be toggled off for those websites if you really want to support them. Taking off protections for a trusted partner though is quite different from raw dogging the whole internet

While I think that's inevitably true for some, I also think that sentiment gets exaggerated/overblown for others. Tankies are definitely prevalent, but there are also a lot of non tankie communists, and communists who will readily admit the failings of the dictators claiming to be communists throughout history. Genocide is an important issue for many of them, and is what pushed them away from Democrats most recently

Either way though, im not trying to argue any of these are morally correct or better than any other viewpoint. But I do think it's undeniable that the left needs more unification globally if there is to be any meaningful resistance against the rise of fascism, and we have more in common with each other than we do with any of the oppressors in government now or the Nazis who support them

That's pretty much it, yeah. It's worth noting, there is a lot of animosity on here, particularly from .world, for .ml and .hexbear instances. Both are heavily communist, far left communities, and get a bad rep because they are known for not accommodating liberal or other not as left viewpoints. This was particularly heated around the election with disagreements about voting for liberals vs protest voting.

Fwiw I'm a strong believer if we are to organize against literal fascism we will need the liberal and the farther left to find enough common ground to work together. It's a......work in progress on here.

I also reported it as hostile and inappropriate. I am sure Google will do fuck all with that report but I enjoy being petty sometimes

Theyd all be caught in networks

Meta has been quite naughty indeed

Probably unsurprising to everyone here, but this is importantly NOT a severance in most cases. It is a delayed resignation. You submit your resignation but are expected to keep working for the duration of that period and can be fired at any point in that timeframe without any further payment.

Basically they are asking to voluntarily surrender your union protections so you can be shat upon. It is definitely not an offer for 8 month free wages in exchange for resigning

 

I am just curious if anyone knows if it is possible to count steps accrued while I didn't have my phone, like on a run for example. Right now I wear a watch that sends step data to Garmin connect and it would be awesome if those steps could be pulled into the app somehow. My phone's internal step counter is a little less reliable and mostly I just leave it at home often.

I think I saw watch compatibility is planned for a later update but wondering if I could just get it to pull from Garmin connect instead of phone internal sensors, basically using that as a liason between watch and this app (I don't know if this makes any sense, I am not tech savvy)

Really enjoying the app otherwise!
