He's just another Republican. And that's just another form of capitalist, so it's the same as a Democrat too. /s

I'm genuinely asking, because from my perspective you've always seemed to be on the socialist progressive side of things and it's something that seems to be true as indicated by the ratcheting effect. Do you truly understand where this sentiment comes from?

Wait is this real? Fucking seriously? Israeli's trotting around being racist as fuck, but any response is "antisemitism"?

Siphoning 2% of the sun's radiation sounds easy until you think about how much fucking energy that is. If we back it off to like 1% we can catapult ourselves onto the kardashev scale. #10 would still be at play, and it would be even more disastrous than before!

But infinite recursion hurts my tummy

"deter Iran" from the war that Israel is trying to start?

As much as humanly possible, I try to put everything in my day during the 2pm-6pm but when I can't, I do what I call "resets". The day before I need to be awake during the day, I will stay up for about 16-20 hours and then go to bed around 2am. It's essentially resetting my sleep schedule, so of course it occurs mostly during weekends. It's an extremely unhealthy way to change sleep schedules and should be used sparingly, but it's effectiveness can't be beat.

How many people do you think ozma can reach? How many people do you think were personally disaffected by ozma? Why is it ozma's fault that the aggressively Republican campaign Harris ran didn't inspire people to actually vote?

That's what happens without class consciousness.

The entire southeastern corner of Minnesota is deeply conservative. As someone who grew up in Fillmore county, the only surprise from my state is that Olmsted county went blue

Under the first Trump presidency, there was a substantial increase in politically motivated hate crime. So the answer to your question is both are true. If your existence isn't a political issue, then you should still get armed to defend the people around you.

If people knew what Blue Earth is like, this wouldn't be surprising.

The gun isn't to fight the military. It's to protect against random acts of political violence.

Are you expecting someone to provide you with all the answers?

Organize literally anything; a labor union, tenant union, alternatives to capital, a community garden, etc. Getting involved means doing whatever you have the capacity to do. Sometimes organizing is long and challenging, sometimes it's short and sweet. The thing is, there's different recommendations for different types of organizing. A post like this really can't get any more specific, because organizing is actually that broad of a topic.

Arm yourself to defend yourself and others from random acts of political violence. Use the arms to defend drag time story hour. Use the arms to protect the people you care about. Use the arms to watch cops. Get a gun, learn how to use it, and then only use it in emergency self defense. Having a substantial presence of guns at a protest against capital is already self defense, because cops know they can't push the crowd too much. That's why you shouldn't wait for tanks to be rolling through before you arm yourself.

Mutual aid is part of organizing, and will become incredibly important over the next few years. If you want more insight then I recommend reading Kropotkin's book on the matter.

If you're looking for someone to follow, I recommend following yourself and your ideals. It's very obvious that the point of the post is to take action, not to follow OP.

That would be an improvement

Worker cooperatives should be everywhere. I hope that governments start recognizing it and giving subsidies to co-ops instead of corporations.

Sorry for taking a dig at you like that. You're right, the tension had me jumping to conclusions about what you meant, and it wasn't deserved.

It's weird to point out that the man will a history of lying to multiple wives about their relationship is being hypocritical towards an ad telling vulnerable women to lie so they can exercise their rights?

I'm able to sleep almost immediately basically wherever I lay my head, so I've never really had any problems sleeping. However the most important change I've ever made for sleep quality was how I consume caffeine. Yes, I believe you can fall asleep while totally wired, I can too. The problem is that the sleep quality will be terrible and definitely can contribute to insomnia.

So first, the FDA nailed the appropriate amount of caffeine in a day. Don't consume more than 400mg in a day, and keep track. Too much caffeine with overstimulate you and will contribute to any feelings of anxiety while awake or trying to sleep.

Second, stop consuming caffeine several hours before bed. The biological half life of caffeine is between 6-8 hours, so if you have 400mg at 2pm, you'll still have roughly 200mg in your system at 10pm. That's where your sleep quality will get impacted. My personal rule is that I should space out my consumption over the morning, and stop having any caffeine at all in the afternoon.

They're allowed to play wherever they want. If they cared about the genocide then they would boycott Israel.

The only mass production ethical chocolate I trust is Tony's Chocolonely, because they're the most transparent about how they source their chocolate, acknowledge that they can never be perfect in their goal, and actively try to improve conditions for workers that grow cocoa. I will also buy local artisan chocolate while traveling.

Basically, I've decided that chocolate isn't worth the neo-imperialism and slave labor.
