Everything is politics. The only way to avoid politics is to completely remove yourself from society. Sorry it hurts your feelings to see, but that’s the reality of it, so get over it.

General strike and protest cover different things, both effective means of displaying our outrage. A general strike is a form of protest.

As far as ‘materializing out of nothing’ I don’t expect that either. This is far from out of nothing, though. These sentiments have been boiling over since 2016, literally a decade. We need more voices saying “let’s do it now” and fewer saying “but I have other responsibilities”. It’s rapidly approaching the point where every possible responsibility one could have runs through this issue.

That’s always going to be the case. How many strikes, protests, etc have we had? There’s never going to be a good time, because you can’t hardly get 3 people on the same page about stuff, let alone 3 million. People are going to die no matter the path we choose to walk. Choosing non-violent resistance is the noble path, but it’s got its own risks. At least those risks come with the potential of a better future.

We need to shut down and STAY shut down. Jan 30 needs to be the first day of an indefinite movement.

Very ‘look what you made me do’ abuser talk of you Pedonald. Did the Democrats make you stick your penis in children too?

He also doesn’t care enough about the institution he heads to respect it, hence appointing his car, or a car in general, to the position. Like Caligula and his horse, who I can only imagine Trump looks up to hah

A ridiculous car would be the best to appoint to a high-level government position, honestly.

I figure he’d look up to Caligula.

Honestly it’s just the Internet. Tech is fucking awesome, as long as it’s decoupled from anything and anyone else trying to control, monitor, impose, or otherwise fuck with the tech that’s mine, bought or built fairly. And also the untold psychological torture the Internet is just constantly inflicting on us.

If he’s stable that explains the horse shit…

Another good video discussing the origins of Yahweh/YHWH

Okay that sounds a lot less insane than the mental picture I had. I was like, “mines? Some weird construction…? Snow piercer?” But it sounds like just regular level younger people doing obsessive things to the point of resembling self-harm.

That’s your only contribution? Cool. Objections duly noted.

Proofreading your own work without a significant time gap is pretty useless. You’ll catch a few obvious errors, but approaching the same problem in the same mental space tends to lead to the same thought patterns, tends to lead to making or overlooking the same mistakes.

You’ll do a bit better reapproaching the subject a few days later. It’s almost, but not quite, like reading a new piece of writing. In my experience, comments are set and forget, unless you’re obsessive like me and enjoy rereading your old shit.

By far the most effective proofreading, though, is an Editor. There’s a reason it’s a paid position for anyone who makes a living writing. A completely different person will read the text more as-is, without accidentally interpreting it how they INTENDED it to be written. This will catch far more errors, but isn’t really practical for shit posting in social media. The closest you’ll get is someone calling out a typo or grammatical error.

As long as the intent of the message is clear, it passes the bar for acceptable social media content. We’re not writing PhD theses, we’re just having fun discussions. We’re not writing a paper meant to be readable to someone independently, we’re engaging in dialogue and can easily ask the other person to clarify.

TL;DR high-level proofreading and error correcting isn’t really as viable on social media as it is formal writing, nor is it really necessary as long as the message received is the message intended.

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the environment? That sounds miserable.

As a dude with weird AF sitting positions (seriously, this is vanilla compared to the curl of limbs I can become), I’ve never once crushed my junk from sitting. I don’t know how people have trouble with them.

Great. Another old white man. Welcome to the owmer class, I suppose.

Mostly scheduling shit. There’s always the “clopen” in retail, now imagine no close, there’s bound to be bullshit shifts.

I miss having the option late at night, but also 24 hour businesses create some pretty toxic trends. I’d like to see a few overnight-only businesses pop up.
