why can't i, hold all these crimes?

I tied it around the Bert feeder for the next time I went Bert watching.

I'm in the middle of watching this series that @JillOfAllTrades@hexbear.net posted, it's pretty good.

You need a good way of collecting acorns at the right time (especially if it's white oak), you need to keep them in cool dry storage (esp. white oak), and you need a good way to mash them and hold them in a container while you rinse them (esp. red oak).

A country where bad things are blocked from happening, and where good things are also blocked from happening.

What kind of a dose are we talking about here? Giving someone depression or epilepsy is going to take a lot more than a single hit.

It would be really cool to find non-animal substitutes for these things that are accessible and affordable. Do you know of any?

I unironically applied to a job that would have me wielding a mop, because I don't know what else to do.

Just 15 years ago, calling China "one of the most technologically advanced powers in the world" would have been a preposterous statement.

We haven't seen any he/hers or she/hims all that much.

That's just claviaturolalia at the end.

The campaign ended right as it was starting to plummet. In all likelihood, with a full 7 months, she would have done even worse.

A job isn't just a place where you exchange your labor for money. It's a chance to familiarize/connect yourself with the world, to extend yourself socially, maybe peek under the hood of the economy and learn some of its inner workings (this is my #1 motivating factor), and radicalize/organize people in the workplace. If you're not super into the current organizing you're doing, day trading is not going to give you any openings for organizing. If you don't know what to do with your life, and you do the minimum to stay afloat, you run the risk of becoming a guy who does 5 hours of day trading a week to keep himself alive, and nothing else.

Also, 120 million people in this country (and probably a constant 40% of the population in most core countries) put up with a shitty job or a bullshit job. Saying "I don't want a job where I get pushed around, but I also don't want to do the high-salaried job I'm trained to do, I'm just going to make a living with this financial investment that objectively does nothing useful" is being picky to a level that most people lack even the opportunity for. My ambition is to work (and get exploited) for 10 more years, to the point where I can own a house outright and share it with comrades, and never really have to work after that. If you wanted to cut yourself off from capitalism almost completely and live in communal luxury on a land project, where you put in 3 days of farm work per month, there are a bunch of places where you could do that too. I've lived on one myself, and the only reason why I didn't stay there permanently is because of my personal mission to organize in urban areas.

Honestly if you can live really lean, working a full-time modest job for 5 years or so and putting all your non-essential expenses in an index fund will allow you to live entirely off capital gains from those savings by year 6. This is also a form of leeching, but it's more guaranteed/stable, and accessible to more people.

If you find someone to team up with, in most places you could afford a down payment on a house within 3 years, and you could sustain it by working just enough to pay the property taxes once the mortgage is done. $4000 a year takes less than 10 hours a week to cover.

dril does have shit on me, that's why I hide out here far away from tweeter or bluss key so that he cannot put me on blast... i'd be hoever

I'm glad you have the patience for this, because while I love most number-heavy stuff, this feels like to me it would be absolutely dismal.

No one expected the Bureaucrat bit to get resurrected so quickly, certainly not like this.

More than just real.

I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative

So what made you install Lemmy

If you interact with a website through an app, you are ceding both functionality and power. Angry Birds is an app, Signal is an app, Reddit and Lemmy are websites with URLs and you are duplicating the function of a browser if you use anything else.

I'd heard of Lemmy (and Raddle) since the late 2010s, and put them in the "things I'd like to pivot to at some point" category. The main subreddit that I posted on (a transgressive mix of edgy, caring, partisan, and weird) was quarantined and then finally banned in 2020. As a result I quit using reddit altogether, but after a few months I poked around and realized people from that sub had started a forked instance of Lemmy as a refuge.

The one thing that's lackluster is the search function. Everything else is superior.

Partido Progresista Berdadero

maybe start a Partido de la Patria Borikeña or something, idk, sounds pretty desolate in terms of outlook
