Oh, that will go well. Piss off people and make their vote not count. The people that know where you live and can see your front door...

Good thing the system already selects for people that can pass polygraphs without much issue.
It is also junk technology.

One way money transfers, controlling people's time and career aspirations, dividing families, rape, and murder.

Not all "Influencers", but some notable cases.

Interestingly, not a video about police brutality, but about known unsafe roads.

To counterbalance the "woe is me" (which is a perfectly valid life experience, and I do not mean to diminish it). I am posting so that people with no life experience do not think the "woe is me" is the only experience.

Decent adult straight men exist. We are just busy with family, careers and volunteering. One will not meet us in a bar as we, collectively, don't have time for that. Volunteer for a cause one supports, and one will meet people one likes more.

As an aside, do men have the same issues as women in meeting "good" men? And is our collective taste in men rubbish? Is it something "we" are all watching on TV?

Edit: Really great article by the way. It is long with lots of examples and personal stories from men around the USA.

Ballot actions do nothing if Regressives are elected.

Ballot actions AND Progressives!

Good! Stay safe. Stay far away.

A coordinated distraction from what?

  • National Guard in LA abusing people
  • Alligator Auschwitz
  • Supreme Court allowing the firing of the federal government?
  • Trump causing deaths of children in Texas?

Other options?

So much for "State's Rights". (It was always a lie.)

Looking forward to Supreme Court vacating the fines and not explaining.

Do Grannies listen to "imagine dragons - radioactive"?

... There are old Grannies and there are young Grannies.

Time to start a church. One that actually performs charity.

 

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"

 

There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.

What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?

 

On Tuesday, Jan. 2, a federal appeals court declined to rehear the case of Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, which was struck down by a panel of judges in April 2023.

 

There are a lot of news articles about "back to the office", but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let's provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?
