I like his documentaries, but I don’t really understand the “activist” ones. Like I get it. The earth is dying. But maybe I’m just too early on in the series but he doesn’t offer any solutions other than some vague “we must unite and do something about this.” Thanks, Dave. For a second I thought we didn’t have to do anything about it.
I saw Richard Stallman at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
They also need to push Linux explicitly. Something like exclusive deals or sponsoring in game events if you play on Linux. Though it might just end up like TF2 with people logging in on a new device, getting the exclusive items, and using it as a currency to trade without actually using the OS lol
Or, optimize CSGO and Dota and VAC for Linux and start using it in competitions to attract more curious minds.
I deleted the app off my phone and my usage went down significantly. But my overall phone usage has stayed the same.
Brave is terrible. But while not entirely relevant, so is DuckDuckGo. These mfs have enough money to appear in superbowl commercials lol. How can anyone trust their privacy claims when their shit is in the US and I don’t believe they’ve been audited. I suppose it’s good to find alternative results, but for privacy? Come on
It’s not even part of the law to give people vacations for FEDERAL HOLIDAYS unless you’re government employees. It’s so absurd lol. I honestly don’t know anyone who gets the holidays off unless they’re white collared workers. And I’m talking office/manager white collars, not doctor/pharmacist/nurse white collar.
If it’s an errand, as short as possible. But if it’s like going to school or some leisurely location, at least 3 hours. If it’s work, at least 5-6 hours a day (so i can get lunch) and no more than 30 hours if part time
Do you genuinely think that an American billionaire ex president with a seething, delusional fan base, and as of august 2023, no prohibition from being elected, is not above the law? He’s not going to be spending time with gangsters and killers. He’s gonna be very protected by the state.
He’s not like Bernie Madoff or Elizabeth Holmes who screwed a ton of rich people. It’s not happening. His underlings could get sentenced though, but Trump will have some special bullshit order and he’ll be free.
That settles it. We will kill one person in a lottery every few months to placate the masses
Isn’t this just a ripoff of the magical realist story about the utopia being propped up a single boy being tortured in the basement? Or did that story come after?
So, I get $10,000 for consuming content for free? What’s the downside lol
The worst part is that many of the influencers and models are likely not even paid by the DOD. At least the IDF pays their shills
But dancing is gay and being yelled at to get sweaty by an old man is masculine
There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.
Agreed
And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.
I would agree with you, if you simply called them dumbasses instead of using the equivalent of “woke” that’s virtually meaningless now. I have seen communists, anarchists, liberals, and even Zelensky being branded as “tankies”
defederates from us
“Why would the tankies do this to me?”
Oh yeah newer models will be on par with the Linux laptops. I meant the classic models. T4 models are usually a hundred to a couple hundred dollars
The Wikipedia page has to explicitly state that American “right to work laws” is a completely different concept from “universal human right to work.” The former being a law that allows employers to not pay employees or letting them form unions, while the latter is about how everyone must be guaranteed employment.
Unlike the right to work definition as a human right in international law, U.S. right-to-work laws do not aim to provide a general guarantee of employment to people seeking work but rather guarantee an employee’s right to refrain from paying or being a member of a labor union.
The right to work [human right] was also enshrined as a fundamental right of the citizen in constitutions of the Soviet Union
How much product do you move? I know there are enthusiasts buying old thinkpads, but I eidnt imagine it’s enough that a whole company can sell a bunch of them with ease
Replacement parts are a bitch though. At least when it comes to batteries. The only battery I’ve seen with any positive reviews are Green Cell which is European, so shipping is absurd, and Duracell which no longer produces thinkpad batteries.
Have you considered a second job? It will drain you of your energy and happiness, but it’ll be worse if you become homeless.
See if you’re able to secure a second job that isn’t labor intensive like online customer service or maybe a late night security guard job at an empty office. Usually you get a lot of down time, so you could use that to perhaps study for a better, more permanent job.
Try to fit in enough hours to sleep, shower, eat, and maybe light exercise. I have found that the minimum hours of sleep I need to still function is 5 - this is dangerous and will kill you in the long run, but if you think it’ll keep you off the streets if you just brave it through for a few months, then it may be worth it.
If you’re spending the minimum, then a second, easier job maybe help you get out of the hole, or at least for the short term.
