The giants are back and attacking hundreds of people!

Feels like it was about 10 years ago when Republicans started calling anyone with a sense of empathy special snowflakes.

It was kind of like, “Oh you don’t think I should say the n word? Well you’re just a special snowflake!” Seems pretty revealing.

Yeah dog, is not just our government… Well, I guess this is because of the lack of a government for the people. But yeah for more than a few years shopping for groceries has become where do you personally get the lowest prices. I get different discounts from my partner.

We now shop at a store that doesn’t play this type of game but many people live in an area that only contains stores like this.

We should have an AI design a robot with the same level of dexterity as human hands!

Back in my day we used to call it “searching”

I never forget the pink triangles. Nor have I forgotten about the stars. Fuck Nazis.

They don’t have to. Is just easier to do so.

Really they should just share the video at the top of the article. Like yo, here’s the alleged tape of the alleged rape that the alleged rapists allegedly didn’t do, you decide.

I assume they meant stakeholders…cuz like yo, that’s us!

God damn, good catch! Wishing you the best of luck in your recovery and your remission.

We paid NBC for coverage two years ago and found out that while they steam all day coverage you can’t replay that coverage. I wanted to wake up, watch a stream that started 5-6 hours earlier and spend all day watching Olympics coverage, rinse and repeat. Instead I could only jump into the stream and rewind 3 hours max, so I immediately lost 2 hours. Then it was a mad rush to catch up to live because the minute coverage ends for the day the stream is removed and deleted with no easy to finish it let alone restart it.

Literally the worst experience. Surely there is a better system out there, especially since I’m willing to pay, but in the meantime a VPN and CBC’s coverage is okay. Maybe next Olympics I’ll have the energy to find a real solution.

We didn’t see how we got to 1984. We just see one person living with consequences of what society has become. We’re building our own 1984 right now!

I feel you friend, sounds like you’re a couple rungs lower than me on the “they came for them” scale but the vitriol towards trans people let’s me know I’m not too far behind. Last time this ideology crept up people like me got a state sponsored shower.

I’m searching for a way out while building community within my community. I only preach on lemmy when I’m taking care of loved ones, otherwise I’m out doing what I can.

These things are pretty simple, two people talking. It takes a small amount of community interest not a big legal challenge or tons of petitioning. From my experience big cities are different but in small municipalities it is basically sharing a comment but you’ll have to look up your specifics.

Someone standing up and saying, “Hey, it’d be really cool if we were able to plow the sidewalks and paths so we can walk around the city when it snows.” can plant ideas. Nothing ever gets done in a day and it probably won’t be within the next 2 years but getting the ball moving now is the best way to see change in a decade.

And on the not getting deported thing, get outside and talk to people like… It’s cliche as fuck but get to know your neighbors. Walk your pet rock if it’s awkward to hang out without something to do. Say hi to people, compliment their work and expression, ask them about themselves. Then like go your separate ways, maybe you’ll see them again maybe not. But doing that over and over helps you meet people. That’s the start of your network and eventually your resistance. It’s how you build community and community is how we keep us safe, not letting our fear rule us and telling strangers on the Internet to die. It’s having trust in the goodness of others and that means showing goodness to others.

But like you do you mate, the Internet is here for you to share your anger, pretty sure that what it was designed for, I could be wrong.

Sounds like your city has different, in my opinion unfortunate, priorities. You could change that. It’s pretty cool having a city council that matches priorities with you. I’ve also lived in a number of small towns (~6000 pop.) that plow sidewalks and rec paths along with the roads. Being able to walk around town makes it super easy to go out and do winter activities or just pop down to a restaurant and pick up some food, or get to work without sliding everywhere.

Quick edit: My anecdote isn’t about riding around a single town or city, it’s riding the 7-14 miles between multiple cities at my pleasure or more often to commute to work at a grocery store.

Cold is not an issue if you wear this cool new things I’ve invented. It’s called a jacket! 🧥

But seriously I used to ride my bike to work in a ski town in Colorado throughout the winter. The county plows the bike paths and sidewalks along with the roads. Walking and riding all winter long is no problem on skinny road bike tires. If winter makes it impossible to ride around town that is not a winter problem it’s a priorities problem.
