You hurt their donors. You strike at your regular job but it only works if the majority do it or in key industries. It's why the US has worked so hard to dismantle and discourage unions. Unions give the people power they can leverage.

Hard boycott is to stop consuming products from companies that donate to the administration. Dont buy them. Find alternatives where you can and go without when its not a necessity. It's really really hard but its the most powerful non violent method available

Strikes and hard boycotts are incredibly effective. There are other less favourable options too, but you should probably start with the strikes and boycotts.

We have different values, I guess. I don't think tolerating intolerance is acceptable. I think tolerance of intolerance is essentially condoning it. I don't see how silencing hate speech will "come back to bite me" any worse than the environment it creates. Allowing violence in language encourages violence of other forms, slippery slopes and all that.

You can point the finger in the other direction, saying silencing speech is a slippery slope to limiting all speech, but I'm still confident in my beliefs that tolerating intolerance is the greater of the evils to me.

Paradox of tolerance. At this point in history it's important to draw hard lines. It will be up to police enforcement and since generally police are sympathetic to white nationalism, i don't think it will be used outside of public displays of clear intention.

They outlined it. It's project 2025 + a push from putin around expanding the US empire

Thanks mate. I really needed to hear this

[–] Wigglet@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Nah I don't tell anyone unless it comes up. That said, I'm on social media and get DMs telling me I have autism accent, like multiple strangers, so I must not be subtle.

You'll feel so much better once you get them out! My partner did last year and went from being sick half the yeat to getting sick once or twice. You have to go under full, so that was hard as they get a lot of nausea. Took a few days to heal enough to eat more than soup and ice cream. Overall, 10/10 would do again

Hope your therapist helps get ypu sorted 🫂

Hope you're feeling better mate! Finding a good fit for therapy is so hard.. even if they aren't much help if it's not costing anything, you can try and figure out exactly what you don't like to make finding a better therapist in the future a bit easier.

Congratulations on your jobs and successful break! I can't remember the last time I felt like I was on break.. I need to sort that out

 
 

Kia ora 😊 We are replacing the software for our community library of things are looking for options. We live in a village so it would be a max of 300 accounts and probably 2000-3000 items in the inventory. I'm having a hard time finding anything open source.

I know it's very niche so no worries if nobody knows of anything 😊

I've been wanting to get a proper microscope so I can do my own spore examinations to identify local fungi but it's been out of budget. This looks like a much more affordable option so now off to find some plexiglass and laser pointers at the dump.
