For the rich to get the message you have to hit them where it hurts, in their wallets, their balance sheets, their portfolios, or their vital organs.

Effective peaceful protests do this. If your peaceful protest doesn’t make a businesses have a loss it will be ineffective.

Me too. Arch 950. Not cared enough to research a fix. Changed my keybind for suspend to lock the screen instead. If there’s a solution in this thread I’ll try it probably.

perhaps temper your expectations

how are you going to get $100,000?

not yet…

not even two days from now.

I don’t know. But democrats spent the past 8 years accusing trump of being a russian asset, then chose not to bring it up during either impeachment, nor did biden’s justice department didn’t charge him on that front.

In practice they seem to think that delaying a weapons shipment, or not returning documents to the presidential library were stronger cases to pursue. There’s surely a reason for that.

Either the claims about russia are false, or the evidence is not actionable. I can’t think of another reasonable explanation for their actions.

they win.

in 2016 jill stein campaigned on canceling student debt. that was a major part of her platform. in 2020, joe biden included student debt cancelation in his platform, and he won.

probably for the same reason they took no measures against trump when they accused him of the same.

not a trolley. trolleys don’t move vertically, they move horizontally.

not a train, its a car. a single unit not connected to any other passenger vehicle.

I took a vertical self driving car to my hotel room. It worked fine because it runs in a controlled environment with no obstacles.

republicans do voter suppression and purge voter roles. victims of either of these practices would be punished with a larger tax burden. not ideal.

voting should be compulsory

If the voters are the problem every time, the problem probably isn’t the voters, it’s probably the system. The US always has bad turnout.

71 million in a country of 262 million adults. 27% voted for fascism. 74 million voted for trump in 2020. This wasn’t a shift towards fascism, but the opposition party utterly failing to win voters.

The country has never been majority rule. Every modern election has split the country in thirds, about a third votes one way, a third votes the other and a third choses not to vote.

Over 70% of voting aged americans did not vote for trump.

Lawyers will also usually advice the safer option. Even if your actions are legal, if its boarderline enough you have to defend your actions in court, its expensive and risky.

it also said the lug nuts should be tightened more if my car had the option of a larger engine.

google’s search llm told me to tighten my car’s lugnuts to 400 ft•lbs at 4400 rpm.

they do fine coming up with nonsense all on their own.

Australia and NZ have some of the strictest biosecurity laws in the world. Its important to look up the laws about transporting animals, but something like that is unlikely to happen for an atlantic crossing.

I’ve not used windows regularly since XP but I recall being very confused that the keyboard layout setting defaults to being per-application rather than syatemwide. Don’t know if that’s how its still done and I have no reason to care.
