Haven't got to that chapter yet. 🙂

If I had an extra machine I totally would fafo, but alas I must approach with caution.

Oh. We can definitely allow Democrats to lose, just not to the right wing.

Working on it, but only on page 5 of Linux for dummies

Maybe? The repub shitshow circus might normally benefit Dems, but I'm not sure Rs can agree on another speaker. It's might be better to be able to vote on shit-even as disfuncional as the house currently is- than to be completely paralyzed without a speaker. The Ukraine vote was months too late but at least it happened.

Don't you jinx this.

Condolences Springfield, IL.

Cast iron: cook a load of bacon bacon before you try making tomato sauce and don't put it in a dishwasher. Trying not to scratch Teflon is way more of a pain.

Somebody worked out that hunter/gatherers only averaged 4-5 hrs of work a day. I think I'm pulling this from a recent episode of 'No Such Thing as a Fish'

Yeah but to actually believe the using it as a contraceptive line you've got to be sticking your fingers pretty far down your ears shouting la-la-la. Willful ignorance is cruelty.

Also use ethique, no complaints.

With multiple children the assets can put the in a trust.

It's commonly got around too by those with the resources by switching the assets into a trust or in another person's name a few years before they need the long-term care. Literally only penalizes the most vulnerable. NYS long-term care is so stupid expensive because they privatized it.

I think I missed out not getting this game.

What's your plan? I'm listening.

edit:

The absolute nerve of trying to wave Palestinian lives around as if that serves as some kind of a defense of the people actively funding their murder at this very moment. Absolutely detatched from reality. To try and guilt people because they won’t vote for that is unconscionable.

In November there are two outcomes. This is reality. One has a higher death count. Showing up and voting blue is the least one can do. There is no virtue that costs innocent lives.

So in summary because 70,000 Palestinians died... you think the lives of the million people sheltering in Rafah are forfeit? ...Because once they started the genocide they might as all be dead anyways? What the fuck mate. Do you need someone to tell you that's fucked up? That is fucked up.

And when did I say appeal to conservatives? Read mine again. You suggested plunging the worst off of America into suffering would magically cure them of their centrist tendencies. Reality is, where there is instability and inequality people grasp on to shitty xenophobic rhetoric to justify holding on to anything. I'm begging you. Read some history. Show me an example where dismantling the existing power structure in a time of instability worked. Not in the past 40 years. In the past 1,000.

I need you to understand this first—the slate is never clean. No one makes better decisions under increased chaos and uncertainty. Ever. They don't learn. They don't find their better selves. They use the hardship to justify atrocity. Why do you think rural communities are the way they are? People won't suddenly open their eyes and say golly gee those leftists were right, we are all in this together and let us all put our best foot forward. Tomorrow is always yoked to yesterday. No matter how unfair, no matter how unjust, you can never raze enough of what came before to start again fresh. There is nothing that works but gradual change.

Do not take my word for this. Start reading. You are ready for pain and death and to drink the hot blood of our enemies for the glorious revolution. But what the revolution really needs from you, is for you to suffer through some boring ass books. No shortcuts. No meme politics. No youtube activism. If this is not a thing you are willing to do, if this feels like throwing damp sand on the fire, I need you to think critically about that.

Do you want equitable change or is it more important to keep that rage burning? If so how does that make you any different from a drunk on outrage MAGA fuckwit?

Use all the tools at hand to save as many as you can. This means not letting the orange fucker back into power. You can vote blue and put a brick through the AIPAC's office window if you so choose. All good lefties learn to walk and chew gum at the same time.

So you will support it with inaction? There is no magic third door here. Both sides are pro-genocide, one can be worked on, one cannot. Vote blue to stop the worst, keep protesting to change the discussion. Sword and shield.

My Republican family members are 100% behind the murder of all Palestinians. No aid. No ceasefire talks. Inaction will allow those people to call the shots. What use are morals if they don't save anyone?

I think so far the Vonnegut is the best recommendation for you. And not sci-fi but Catch-22 by Joseph Heller might also be a good fit. A lot of these suggestions are really good books, but not as pithy and gripping as I think you might be looking for. But more data is needed, any favorite movies?

I will absolutely blame you. I wanted Sanders enough to switch parties to vote for him in the primary. I get it.

But this time isn't about getting what we want. This is about reducing harm. The math is simple, more people will die and suffer under Trump. He will vilify the weakest of us to give his base red meat to chew on. Do you not have enough examples as to what happens when a population is dehumanized? Is that a thing you will allow in order to keep your ideals pristine?

You want change? Start local. Find like minded people and build a resilient community -that's where we can find power. Start voting people into office from the bottom up.

It's a sprint right now to stop the worst from happening but a marathon to make an equitable society.
