This election, neither side will consent. Therefore, this election does not matter. It doesn't matter anymore. Waiting until November to do... anything at all is not a great plan. If you don't know what to do, spend time in a park. At the mall. With your family. This weekend, they'll be ready for us. But by then, there'll be more of us. Next week, we will no longer be slaves. If your job won't let you strike in the park for a week, then they do not want you. Embrace radical change. A new future is possible A new future is within reach A new future is grasped in our palms All we need is a week. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2352 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: pol │ └──────────────────────┘ Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment, let me handle that for you. If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can. It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go" then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to do it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2353 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1074 I do not consent to fascism. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2354 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1074 I have faith in my neighbors. I haven't met a single person who disagrees.

And this time we don't have Twitter or Facebook. They would give us a king. It's now or never. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2356 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ @user-1242 │ ║ │ ║ I was born in the desert of New Mexico. My earliest memories are of cherry │ ║ trees, chocolate, and blood. │ ║ │ ║ I lived my childhood in Wyoming, on a small farm. I had legos, I had wooden │ ║ swords, I could run and climb and jump and think and dream. I cried over math │ ║ homework and I watched plants grow. I read every book in the library, well, at │ ║ least all the good ones. │ ║ │ ║ I lived my teen years in Colorado, in a suburb of the Mile High City. The first │ ║ essay I ever wrote was a defence of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, two communist │ ║ spies who helped the Soviets keep American nuclear power in check. They were │ ║ executed. │ ║ │ ║ My first friend was like a sister to me. │ ║ │ ║ The strongest community I've ever felt was my theatre class in high school. I │ ║ loved each and every person there. We laughed, we played, we sang, we... grew │ ║ up. And I never saw them again. │ ║ │ ║ I dropped out of university four times, and I'm currently working on my fifth. │ ║ My father told me to keep trying, but homework was never my strong suit. I'm a │ ║ sprinter at heart │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2357 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1245 I disagree. What if we did not learn to count numerically, but instead viewed all values as percentages between 0 and 1? Essentially, as a magnitude between empty and full. That would radically redefine our mathematics, and it's just one simple change, one tweak, and suddenly negative numbers are just out of reach. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
