He tore pages from my journal. He made me lose my necklace. He damaged my knife. And still, I followed him all night. Why? Because I knew it was important. I needed him to tell me what he was doing and why. And I think I know, now. To all the federal agents reading this, please understand that I am a patriot, and he is not. Who do you serve? To all the leftists, punks, anarchists, queers, and anyone else who's cooler than me, please understand that they will try and make it hard. But our love will win. Don't abandon your friends. If someone you know goes missing, they're probably buried in the trash-dump or human trafficked. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ -> file: fediverse/642 │ ║ │ ║ Relinquish your privacy, and you deserve not a scrap of it. │ ║ │ ║ "those who would sacrifice a bit of [privacy] for a bit of [convenience] deserve │ ║ neither" - babe-roham lincoln or thomas bettersons or something. │ ║ │ ║ ... │ ║ │ ║ EDIT: okay but so like c'mon it's the 21st century we live in a society │ ║ │ ║ yeah │ ║ │ ║ there's a lot of paths we could take, that's the nature of circumstate.

To the south, below Portland, there is Salem. Salem is red, but cities trend blue, so there might be allies there. Below Salem is Eugene. Eugene is blue. Salem must be secured. Part one: control battleground part two: control Salem Part Three, and the ultimate goal of phase one: deprive the far right of a pacific port strategically, preventing them from utilizing the pacific ocean will be SO much more productive than anything else we could be doing in this area. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/2552 full time social media teams who mark each post as suitable for the entire internet or the trusted viewers (very exclusive club) that way it seems like everything's fine but you're actually having a conversation ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/936 @user-171 ha no she's more of a whiny baby but like, a cool one, who likes to be a predator and hunt things ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/4231 @user-777 being correct isn't really power so true T.T ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/4693 the reason I say to do it there is because it's close to civilization, compared to building a pole barn in the forest somewhere that you have to drive 30 minutes to get to a grocery store. no thank you... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/2640 ┌──────────────────────────┐ │ CW: capitalism-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────┘ capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the threads in the pool and your tech lead claimed it was more efficient because the remaining 90% of threads would have the results of the program "trickle down" to them somehow ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/3177 I want to point out how for every game that released in a month, they had at about 5 people playing it and averaged their scores. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────┐ ║ -> file: fediverse/2063 │ ║ │ ║ "No I haven't played that PC game before.

They need to be given the tools to escape those conditions However, many of them are poor. They lack the resources to escape, even if they had the tools. These are who I think of the most, for they have the least to leave behind. A solution: what if we got a bunch of people together and drove around to every red place we could find and invited them along? We could pay for their food and gas, and potentially save their lives. I think it would help if we could stick together. Not only would we have time to spend together learning and having fun, but also we could practice supplying a large group of people traveling across large distances. In terms of people, we'd need some to drive, and some to stay home and supply resources like dollars or... other things. I'm thinking 2-3 staying at home but potentially as many as 10 per driver. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/3134 @user-1352 I like that article.
