  • Whatever you do, don't self-immolate. Sadly, this guy will get 2-3 days media attention, and then be forgotten, having accomplished nothing. We can all put our energy to better use.

    You're only accountable for the things you can control. For most people, that's not very much, sadly. Think about what you can do within your ability, for example, speaking out, attending protests, donating to causes or volunteering for causes that support the people of palestine, etc. Someone might come along and say you're not doing enough, but doing something is always better than doing nothing, no matter how small.

  • All Americans, since US of America became a country, have been alive during slavery. Slavery was never fully outlawed. Does any American actually read their constitution? Maybe start with the 13th amendment?

    "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

  • Clearly made with care, not just gross slop. Reminds me of this report from the CIA that Soviet diet was more nutritious.

    FULL TEXT:

    American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious.

    According to a CIA report released today (8 Jan, 1983)) both nationalities may be eatng too much for good health.

    The CIA drew no conclusions about the nutritional makeup of the Soviet and American diets but commonly accepted U.S. health views suggest the Soviet diet may be slightly better.

    According to Central Intelligence Agency, an average Soviet citizen consumes 3 280 calorious a day, compared to 3 520 calories for the American.

    The average daily calorie intake in teh Soviet Union is: grain products and potates 44%; sugar 13%; dairy and eggs 11%; fats and oils 17%; meat and fish 8%; and other products 7%.

    The american consumes daily: grain and potatoes 26%,; sugar 17%; dairy and eggs 12%; fats and oils 18%; meat and fish 21%; and other products 6%.

    Americans eat more fish and more sugar, more dairy products and eggs, and more fats and oils and less grain the average Soviet citizen, and consumes more calories.

    Generally held nutrional standards suggest individuals need fewer calories, less meat, less sugar and more grain to stay fit.

  • Damn

  • I've done engineering technical writing in the past for a career.

    If I had nothing better to do, I'd take the interview and show up with grammar corrections to their joke of a posting. These people clearly aren't serious. I've worked with mega type As in the past, the type of people who are serious. They wouldn't release such a terrible job announcement.

  • I agree. Mammals have higher brains and reasoning, on the scale of animal eating ethics, eating mammals is the least ethical, compared to certain fish/reptiles (not saying anyone should eat any animals) just that mammals have the most advanced brains as we understand them, and birds are pretty advanced too.

    Having said that about mammals, it's not clear that other mammals form the same types of long term bonds that humans expect. Like, I did all this great stuff for this animal, so this animal is going to treat me good. It's more like, the animal is reacting to get what it wants, and it's very encounter to encounter.

  • There has been no difference since Carter. Carter was the one who started modern neoliberalism with the idea that inducing a recession would be a good thing to stop run-away inflation, so he worked with the fed to start one.

    It went Carter, Reagan, CIA, Clinton. (or, in other words, CIA, CIA, CIA, CIA).

    By then, we were cooked, truly no difference in neoliberalism from either party, the cruelty towards the average person domestic and abroad is some sort of special evil.

    Edit, in 1963, the CIA was successful in a coupe of the USA, and has been in charge ever since.

  • This mindset disgusts me. Biden needs to be held accountable for his failures. Him not stepping down is entirely his own doing, and no is obligated to support him. IF he's truly not competent, then invoke the 25th--Get him out of there. Kamala will be entirely ineffective and get trounced in 2024, so she won't be the candidate, probably best scenario within the realm of possibility.

  • Don't ever call police. 9/10 times they will turn on you, even if you're the victim. Police have one function, to investigate crimes, charge you with crimes, and arrest you for crimes. It doesn't matter if you did it or not. They will abuse you, detain you, and arrest you. They have no obligation to help you in any way.

    NEVER call the police!

    Watch "the civil rights lawyer" and "audit the audit" on youtube, if you need to learn more, they go into case law, it's worth watching and knowing your rights and knowing the best way to deal with them: Record, record, record, invoke your constitutional right to silence and against search and seizure, and shut the heck up, once you invoke your right, do not talk no matter what, except to request a lawyer.

    If police call you, don't answer. If police show up at your door, don't answer. If police are engaged in traffic stops, find another route. Don't even look at them, I've literally been detained and investigated for looking at police.

    Also, if you drive, get a dashcam.

    Me personally, when I was still naive, I had video of a couple kids come by my house, and push down a newly planted tree (I bought and planted it), they pushed it down at the base, and snapped it off. I called the police to give them the video and they started accusing me of doing something to the kids to make them retaliate. I picked up on this very quickly and carefully ended the conversation. By the way, they had no interest in taking the video from me, and told me outright they weren't going to pursue the case, but they sure were a bunch of assholes to me for evidently calling them to do the job they agreed to do.

  • Been using Desktop Linux since early 2000s on my home machines without any dual booting crutch. Work uses Micro$hit. Blows my mind how every single release of Micro$hit since Windows 2000 has steadily gotten worse.
