I wouldn’t even be sure how to do this in an efficient way.

Any specific LGBT book or studies that you think I should get? I’m guessing they’ll start targeting this stuff first under “obscenity” laws.

Welp. Remember guys save money. Those tariffs are gonna hit hard. Make friends, they will help you get through harder times. Workout and become physically stronger, you may need it. Archive books and studies and pieces of knowledge that may get banned.

And for right now, drink some water and go to sleep. No need in worrying about this right now. We’ll have plenty of time to do so anyways.

I wonder if they’re on here too?

Tbh, I get that too. Another realization I’ve had, is that a lot of Americans are so caught up in things like working and trying to survive, that paying attention to politics or the world in general is the last thing on their minds.

I mean, I feel most people who lost money were doing “options trading”, basically full on gambling/speculation. If you had put that money in an s&p500 index fund, chances of losing money are slim.

MORE FUNDING FOR USPS! FUCK CORPOS!

Gym memberships should definitely be easier to cancel

Yeah, I recognize you when we were talking about THC. I don’t think you’re wrong in this case? You just asked to see if changing order per ballot really does make a difference in voting stats. In any case dry herb vapes are the best, vaporizes flower’s thc without burning, so it’s probably a bit healthier.

Time for faraday cage phone covers/bags to become popular in these states.

BUT Imagine if it was open sourced. God, Gods, by the nine, would be heaven.

Can I get a quick rundown on UniversalMonk? What the hell did he do? Looking at his profile he does seem suspect, but aside from that, did he do something that really exposed him or something?

Lol, we should create a society of sorts along the lines of the original Bavarian Illuminati. Create a decentralized storage network and archive of knowledge and history. Create a list of important shit that needs to be archived, and delegate standardized chunks (let’s say 5 or 10gb each chunk) of data that are to be downloaded by people. Anytime 5 or 10 people have downloaded a chunk, strike it off the list of priority archival and move onto the next chunk. For this to work, needs alot of people though.

Prep. Build community. To survive potential trying times. Keep your mouth shut when the fascists take power and figure out ways to erase your online presence.

Edit Addendum: Stock up on food and water. Stock up on vital medications, this of course is personalized to your needs. Saving up a bit of cash and maybe having a few ounces of silver coins probably wouldn’t hurt. Gas generator or power station that can be charged with solar can be useful, lots of people like Jackery. Learn how to use a radio, baofengs are a great cheap start. Guns and ammunition if you trust yourself with it and aren’t mentally ill. Training for firearms if you do get them.

Shit, even saying the loud part ain’t that new if you go back far enough, especially in the southern states.

I think it does ring true. I think you can also say that, in a way, feminism successes do come from patriarchy, that is to say-

It is built upon patriarchy, through the analysis, critique and solutions offered by feminists to it.

What you are critiquing is the hypocrisy and personal individual failings of feminists, which is valid, but is another problem entirely I feel.

Perhaps you are saying these hypocrises and personal individual failings affect alot more feminists than feminists themselves would like to admit? Or perhaps that these hypocrises and personal individual failings have poisoned feminism and it’s touted ideals? That feminists who fail in these ways affect the ideology of feminism and that THIS feminism, the “feminism of hypocrites” is what now pervades majority feminist thought?

The expectations the feminists have, are a part of the patriarchy, is what I’m guessing they’re trying to say, so it’s ultimately still the fault of broader patriarchy and it’s standards. I guess what you’re effectively saying is that Feminists are affected by patriarchy and it’s standards too I guess, which is obvious given they’re human and most humans aren’t perfect.

Edit Addendum: I also think why it’s hard sometimes for some feminists to acknowledge the problems men face, under the standards that the social system and hierarchy that patriarchy sets and is, is that men often play such a big role in the preservation and continuation of patriarchy, that the idea of even talking about or blaming some women(the gender which has faced the biggest brunt of the abuse from patriarchy) for also upholding the system of patriarchy, gets hard. It feels almost as if you were victim blaming or punching down, even though such aspects of patriarchy(that is the idea of women’s role in upholding the continuation of it) must be addressed.

Data serves a great role in this. It’s a currency of control.

Political, social, etc.

Which is why privacy is so goddamn important.

I don’t think Lemmy users hate Firefox. I feel like alot of it is either people who legitimately have whatever needs they have, fulfilled by chrome more than firefox, or…it’s fucking astroturfers/fanboys.

Edit Addendum: Also, if anything, Lemmy users fucking love Firefox.

It would be nice to implement stuff like one of the voting systems under the broader ranked choice voting umbrella first before getting rid of the electoral college.
