It's only halfway paid off but it worth more than I paid so I'm keeping it. A uhaul is probably in the cards anyway.
Already in discussion but not really progressing.
Oh god I miss pet therapy. My cat died last year. A snuggly little manx named Ada Lovelace. I still miss her terribly. I dont have any downtime or spare money right now and I don't see that changing. A lot needs to go well in my life for me to be able to pull off this self-rescue, and I'm still in the planning stages but I appreciate the offer.
I drive a chevy bolt EV. While it has fast charge capability, it's still a cheap EV and that fast charge still takes about an hour. Going through hostile territory isnt likely safe in my little hippymobile since I will be vulnerable at charging stations. I'll probably have to rent a uhaul and tow it, making this trip more expensive.
My fear is that will take more time than I have.
The costs are higher but so is the average pay so it's bad but not as bad as it seems. As for Ohio, this state is heavily gerrymandered and has been for years. The republicans regularly ignore the courts and their constituents. There is no accountability here.
That's the problem. We can all see whats coming, but it's happening so fast that it will be too late. If I put in for asylum, I'll be dead in the oven before anyone can even process the paperwork. If I just cross the border and try to wait things out there, I'll have no way to feed or house myself, I'll have no access to medications. And if things go really bad and this spreads to canada, they may just send be back to the US and I'll end up in an oven anyway.
Is there a way I as an american can delete all my posts from my banned accounts?
There isn't a non-violent solution to fascism. I am one unarmed man in Ohio. I can't do anything about the nazis. I voted against them. I've signed petitions. I've done all the things a functioning society has available but they don't work when your opponent isn't playing the same game by the same rules. Unless these guys start dropping like flies things wont change. This thing has its own momentum now. I don't have the ability to change that.
I think I might fall into the refugee category. I feel ridiculous saying that as there are others who are far worse off than I am though.
Well a big problem is going to be installing a charging station for the car once I get here. But someone said elsewhere that Oregon isn’t as blue as it might seem and that outside the cities it’s much like Ohio.
Maybe I will have to move to Canada after all. But I can’t figure out how to do that fast enough that I would be safe.
I’ve thought about that but I can’t come up with a way to immigrate to Canada quickly. Moving to a blue state I can do quickly. Plus I have friends in Oregon and I’d be alone in Canada.
What make lemmy users more important than non-Lemmy users? My point is if we all rise us and started purging Nazis, things would rapidly change for the better. At least for those left behind it would. But if we do nothing, we are going to the gas chamber anyway.
Social media is not your friend. It is a propaganda machine. Once the rich notice Lemmy they will fuck it up for everyone here too.
Finding a roommate will be incredibly difficult especially from here. I couldn’t even find a roommate here in Ohio.
Nobody needs me. I’m a drain.
I was unaware Australia had fallen too! I’m so sorry to hear that.
For a good time, log into any computer at $formeremployer using $backdoortheystillprobablyhaventaddressed does have a nice ring to it.
So through talking here and in talking to friends in what’s left of the real world, I’ve decided moving to Oregon with my friends might be a healthy choice for me. There are a few obstacles I need to overcome first though.
First, I need to have a job ready for me.
Second, debt consolidation fucked my credit rating harder than I thought it would. I’m at 592 now, down from 806! Won’t finding a landlord with that rating be difficult?
Third, I have to fund relocating across an entire country.
So one step at a time. I need to find a job where I’m going. I have IT helpdesk experience and have been the go to computer guy for years in my area, especially with the elderly crowd. (I have most of them on Linux now since it REALLY fucks with scammers and lets them get more life out of older equipment.) Currently I’m doing call center medical insurance work from home but I can’t take the job with me. I’ve worked for a few places, including a county IT job where I completely changed their process for deploying new systems and put them way ahead of schedule. I’m adaptable and good with people and just really want to make things better for people. Coworkers like me. Customers adore me. I need to find a way to channel that into a job on the other side of the country.
Anyone know a guy?
This is true but there’s a greater good at play here. Can you imagine what would happen if many people did that? We still outnumber the Nazis. We just have to be willing to kill them. We would end up dead too but those left behind would have better lives.
I’m just not willing to do such a thing. And that’s a problem.
