I am so bringing tea next time

The 13M type numbers came out early and captured a lot of attention but didn't have much legitimacy, but they anchored people's expectations. The smaller numbers are coming out now and have much more legitimacy. They may be smaller but in the big picture this is all still impressive, the movement is big and growing

These rallies/protests/whatever are exactly how you build momentum for a general strike.

A general strike is useless without a significant percentage of the population joining. As these protests keep happening the attendees trust that the networks that are drawing them together will step with them into more drastic action, like a general strike. We are building a small amount of trust and cooperation between literally millions of people. It's not going to happen overnight.

Cheers y'all, hope the next year is even better

Lol, I appreciate you giving a more thoughtful eye than I did.

I feel like that sometimes too :(

I think a lot of awfulness is just the result of a poor internal model of the world. Intentionally spreading a poor model of the world is an effective propaganda strategy and often done. However it is difficult to tell apart people who have been lied to and people who have been unintentionally misled.

I think a great many people, myself included, have been misled about a great many things. Mostly not even out of maliciousness, but because reality is not as obvious as it could be. Our perspectives are often so limited. My takeaway from all this is to try and broaden my perspective, and when possible, give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just need some new information, or the removal of a malign influence.

Alabama talking shit about Cali is hilarious, ranked the 5th worse state here for good reasons https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings?region=AL%2CCA

It's erythritol

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases oxidative stress, disrupts nitric oxide signaling, raises vasoconstrictive peptide production, and diminishes clot-dissolving capacity in human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

You should look into the history of it a bit, the categories were really always kinda about the skin color

I really like this idea, I can't believe you just threw this together, awesome work and thank you for sharing, I hope it gets some traction
