I didn’t know riots and protests 50+ years ago depended on the internet. Crazy.
Tech, gardening, and pokemon.

The problem with protesting in modern times since social media dominated the majority of our lives is how most show up on a weekend, take photos and a hashtag, then brunch.
It’s all performative because if people were really serious, then there would constant protesting like how it was done during the Civil Rights era. The closest to a continuous protest we had was Occupy Wallstreet, yet so many fell for the media’s propaganda of it being a bunch of jobless hippies. Same rhetoric that could had described the Civil Rights protestors.
Don’t blame leadership when it is truly the people who are goddamn selfish and stupid. The final culmination of what Republicans and the owner class wanted out of a populace.


I’d love to see it, but let’s all be realistic. Americans didn’t band together to make cost of living affordable nor took it to the streets to demand universal healthcare. You REALLY think Americans will suddenly band together about AI affecting their way of life?


Frankly, Starbucks workers need to quit en mass if they want to see change. The only way you’ll get these companies to listen is through a general strike. Stop working. It’s only here in the US that people make up excuses as to why it can’t happen.
Get organized at the local level, create food pantries for affected workers, and pool money together for bills. The fact that we are so divided as a country that a mere thought of a community is seen as “communism.”
Democrats are controlled opposition, which the belief is solidified by the recent senate vote. I’ll still vote blue, but if the politician option of it being a coward/establishment then I might as well vote for a rat. Absolute disgusted our elected leaders have no spine as Republicans continue on their quest to achieve fascism and white supremacy.
Fuck those 6 and fuck Schumer.


My priest agrees


You can buy a Tuff Shed for $20k with foundation installment, insulate it yourself, all for less than $27k. Toss in electrical, and water; you’re looking at around $40k. Permits and such will probably add another $10-$15k. Overall, you’re looking at $80k for a tiny home in a major city versus homes that go for more than $600k. Rurally in my county, I’ve seen homes go for $300k, so you’re still saving a fuckton of money.
Tiny living absolutely goes against capitalism and our need to consume more than what we can handle to be further in debt by those who control the means.


Corporations are buying up homes to rent them out or tear them down to build small condos to rent out.
Land is limited in America and it’ll get worse. Before covid I didnt buy a 5 acre lot for $4k because it was out in the desert + wife was unsure of job opportunities. The same lot today is going for $20k.


It’s not just tiny homes are getting up their in price; they are extremely affordable. The issue is you’ll need to place it on a foundation and once you do, you’ll be beholden to the same permits as a regular sized house which can add a tremendous expense. Sure, you can go the trailer/on wheels route, but that opens up to other issues such as home theft (literally) to cities outright not allowing it on your lot.
Also take into consideration that a lot of municipalities do not like tiny homes as it goes against the look of the town/city, to some even outright banning them to having exorbitant fees placed on them.
I’ve looked into tiny homes and to save money, I would have to move out to the rural areas where I am permitted to build them without being hassles by the city. Oh, and if your neighbor doesn’t like your home, you can definitely expect frequent visits from the city inspectors to fuck your day over.
All I want is a tiny home, and a big front/backyard to garden/self-sustain my family.
Low rage bait. Go back to the shadow realm, low iq troll
You can ride any vehicle you want, but will also be opened up to criticism in your decision. No need to drive a massive dodge ram thats 5’ lifted. There was a study that shows those type of trucks cannot see pedestrians in front of them, posing a risk to school children and distracted drivers.
The real issue is Big Auto circumventing laws to make these massive vehicles to avoid paying additional taxes on fuel efficient cars.
At my kids school, there’s quite a few lifted vehicles with pristine paint jobs, letting others know that they never take their car out on trails let alone use it for what it’s made for. Pathetic pavement princesses.
I would love to support my LCS, but unfortunately they’re in the scalper business as I caught the owners wiping out inventory at the Big Box stores.
Some LCS’s (local card shops) are more Magic focused, some are more Pokémon focused, as well as Yugioh focused. They’ll still sell other product, but most likely have a core group of players who show up to play one type of game.
The LCS I used to go to sold everything, but it was largely known to be the spot to play MTG/have tournaments consistently versus their Pokémon days.


Beneath the layers is Microsoft allowing a fascist regime, that Microsoft donated money to, to use their IP in facist promoting material.
I look forward to the day Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple get broken up.


These arricles are meant to be rage bait for the techno-illiterate. As you said, cell phones mapped your house long ago as well as your smart TV, or any appliance that requires an internet connection.
People traded in their privacy for convenience.
Germans were normal people who turned a blind eye to concentration camps as they continued on with their lives.
Just like how the majority of Americans turn a blind eye to the modern Gestapo rounding up anyone who is brown, and sending them off without due process.
You speak from privilege to think there were good times in America. If you’re a minority, you knew that was bullshit. If you knew US History, then everything is a facade.


Big Pharmacy in the US as well as the death panels ran by US Health Insurance Corporations are responsible for killing more Americans than whatever chemical plants in China are doing.
But hey let’s use the Chinese as a scapegoat once the brown folks get rounded up.


I try to sell my excess produce below grocery store pricing, but people at the meet ups always tell me how they dont have enough money or got no money, if I can give it to them for free.
Now I just give it to a food bank
If you ever think Rogan will he on “our side” then you’re just as delusional as he is. Rogan knows exactly what he is doing. To call himself an idiot before saying something extreme is not only a shitty attempt at plausible deniability, but harmful to society’s social contract.
Fuck Joe Rogan and his HGH gut chugging ass
