As others have said, I guarantee there are movements and organzing happening in your area.

Don’t be the person shouting that others aren’t doing enough when you aren’t doing more than complain online.

Use this energy. It’s kind of hilarious that you’re complaining about how people are fighting amongst themselves while you’re doing it too.

Some people have to focus on survival, and don’t have the energy to do more. That’s by design. Intentional design by those in power. So if you have that energy, go do for them. Work with unions and local lawmakers to improve conditions for the people living paycheck to paycheck instead of trying to shame them into just magically having more energy after ensuring they’ll be able to eat and have a place to stay.

If you play Old School RuneScape, what do you think about the sailing skill? I haven’t played since shortly before that released.

Part of the issue, admittedly, is that there’s a bunch. Many have outdated info as well.

NAACP guide seems written for a more peaceful era, but is a good place to start.

Rescue our Democracy similarly has some oversights when it comes to tech safety, but at least mentions wearing a mask.

I’m not finding the better guides right now.

The big things as far as reducing identification that I’m not seeing is that beyond face coverings and the like to prevent facial recognition, don’t bring your real phone and if you do keep it powered off in a faraday bag.

Phones are still traceable when in airplane mode, and while powered off, through bluetooth low power mode. This is what many countries used for covid exposure tracking. The only defense agaist this tracking is having your phone in a faraday bag that it doesn’t leave until you are out of the protest area, or simply not bringing it.

There are a few ways to get burner phones not tied to your identity. If you wanted to go that route, you’d want to do the opposite. Keep the burner in the faraday bag at home and only use it out at protest locations, alongside the advice from those two guides as far as disabling biometrics, etc.

I’ll try and find some better guides later today.

The protest safety guides need to be more widespread.

It’s only a thing if you leave smartscreen on. Think it might also only apply to stuff downloaded through Edge, but don’t quote me on that.

Depends on the program. I’ve got a handful of that old on CDs that still install fine. Checked when I was backing them up to ISO. There’s little bits of weirdness and unintended behavior while running them now, but they still install and run to a fairly acceptable degree.

That experience varies wildly though. Wine tends to handle things better and more consistently.

It’s even better when you can’t do most of the socially acceptable de-stressing vices due to health conditions.

My lungs are fucky with asthma, so no smonking or vaping. Genetically recessive liver issue that I hit the jackpot on means I can’t drink, or have too much sugar, or long term it might just fucking fibros-ify my lungs. Short-term it gives me migraines, nausea, and exhaustion if I try to cheat it or forget. Leads to some really sucky times after holidays when I just eat too much dessert.

I’m not going to self harm. Body is enough of a mess without adding extra pain and scarring.

Jacking off and gaming it is then.

If you’re not active on the comms on awful.systems, I think you’d like it. Most users are aware of Yarvin etc.

Oh shit lol, didn’t even catch that myself.

I’m not who you asked for context.

You even took the time to edit this comment and didn’t check who you were replying to?

Man, I love the internet.

“I’m going to place your statement in a clearly uninetended context, extrapolate further hypothetical events from there, and then admonish you for your statement no longer being reasonable in that completely hypothetical situation!”

ELITE? Really, of all the things to name it?

Well I guess they know who they’re marketing to.

Everyone knows the warnings on paint thinner is because the illuminati doesn’t want us to know how to open our fourth eye.

Sponsorblock does a good job skipping in video sponsored segments.

I don’t think it’s anything that remotely “kind”. I think it’s an attempt to further the wealth divide using intelligence as a proxy to try and perpetuate a more easily controlled populace.

If you want an easily controlled populace, wouldn’t you want to increase the amount of intelligent people opting out of perpetuating their intelligence? Wouldn’t you want more of the type of person who would have a kid by accident?

I get that intelligence propagates through teaching, adopting is a thing, etc, but I’m talking broad strokes here.

I’ll fully admit it’s conspiracy minded as all hell and awful close to “race replacement” bullshit (get me a vomit bag please). I just look at the type of people who are choosing to not have kids lately and go “but you’re the exact type of people who are being a wonderful thorn in the side of the billionaires! We need more of you!”

So get teaching. Go be a community role model. Make sure you spread the knowledge and amti-establishment attitude even if you don’t have crotch goblins.

It’s been more than five years since I touched it, but it didn’t work too great for me.

My problem with it is that it requires you to set it all up. The tasks, frequency, chains, point values, etc. I was always second guessing my settings, and it’s very easy to make it too easy.

You have to want it to work, and not want to metagame the gamification of your todo list. That gets harder when you look at the social aspects of it and see all the people with high scores and such who absolutely are metagaming the system instead of just using it as a habit aid.

Fair enough. What’s stopping you Mr. Freedom Fighter?

It’s funny you think you deserve even as much as I gave you when you put so much effort into talking down at the people who you think should be piling their own corpses in the street.

“hurr durr” are you fucking kidding me with that shit? Did I take a time warp back to being a teen in the mid 2000s? Should we start calling things retarded and gay again while we’re at it?

And the two points I’m making are pretty damn direct. Maybe you should work on the education situation where you’re at if you’re having trouble keeping up.

There is such a thing as not tipping your hand early.
