The delusional thing is Britain thinking they could displace 750,000 to create a country out of nowhere and expect the indigenous to silently die off.

They are doing that. They are bombing an area after making it impossible for people to evacuate by giving an impossible deadline. They are bombing the areas people are told to take on the way to evacuate. The people they are bombing have no defenses or way to escape. Israel’s own government officials have referred to Palestinians as animals and said there are no innocents among them. That’s what genocide looks like before having the benefit of hindsight.

Even if Dems wanted to help sincerely, why would they aid a party whose platform is to harass the shit out of everyone else. Nevermind the fact that the staffers are probably still dealing with the fear from Jan 6 in therapy; helping get Jim Jordan up of all people is voting for a dude who indirectly tried to kill you. The idea of even asking for that is so weird to me.

must've ran out of spaghetti to throw at the wall, and this is what is left.

Oh there’s an online auction like eBay just for Lego bricks. Edit to say you’ve probably figured that out by now lol my bad

My hyper focus is on a rotating cycle it seems, and I just switched from Mac to PC. And then I found this place. So I’ve been obsessing over FOSS alternatives to daily tools. Some of this list is obvious, but I had taken a break from experimenting with FOSS for a while due to work and the fact that a lot of FOSS products are harder for me to use. So I’m just seeing how much things have improved for my needs at least.

• Reddit -> Lemmy
• Twitter -> Mastodon
• Discord -> Revolt (I can’t get signing up to work, but I hear good things?)
• Spotify -> Nuclear
• GitHub -> Codeberg
• Serenade.ai for programming by voice (GREAT for pacing and working at the same time)
• Microsoft Project - currently looking for something better than Project Libre UX wise

Omg thanks for giving me a safe space to word vomit. I needed that. 😭

That’s too bad that people behave like that. Thanks for taking action.

Not what I expect to see, but also not disappointed. 🤣

This looks super cool; thanks for sharing.

No one is trying to hide that NPR gets grant funding. However, you are part of a group of people who intentionally misrepresent what that means for the sake of propaganda.

I’m normally nice but perceive you as insincere.

Did your second grade teacher not go over what context is with you?

That’s what lured me in and also why I left. I wanted devices that worked together for accessibility reasons, not because I wanted to be on some over engineered chat network that only works with itself.

Disaster capitalism at work.

Fair, I admittedly don't know how one would implement it, but the sales tax data is being used by their clients for something.

Looking into it further, some states, according to Shopify's FAQ on the topic, have different rules with regards to destination-sourced vs origin-sourced sales. 🤷‍♂️

The thing is you're equivocating something potentially dangerous that you could easily look up instead.

Use your ip address or GPS location or address to get your location and use a sales tax api product like: https://www.avalara.com/us/en/products/integrations/avalara-api.html

Not an endorsement, just an example that companies already consider this.

Because they're a non-profit, their tax forms are publicly available. These forms are called 990s. This is why many people are responding as though they're very annoyed with your perspective, because the evidence is free and public by law.

"Established by an act" doesn't mean the same thing as "maintained by Congress." If your argument were true, NPR wouldn't be able to operate during government shutdowns, since they'd be federal employees. Given they reported during previous shutdowns, that indicates to me that they're not run by Congress.

I'm a n00b here, but it's livelier than I expected.

Police in other states don't usually force the victim to relocate. They usually call someone to come in from the proper precinct.
