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/2472 beep boop gonna pedal my bike might spend 200$ on a flea collar for my cat tho because she needs it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ══════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/1580 ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-scary │ └──────────────────────┘ conservatives will read about project 2025 and think "that's not me, I'm a red blooded american, I hate nazis and communists equally" liberals will read about project 2025 and think "gosh I wish there was something I could do" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── -> file: fediverse/6076 "so I was walking down the street the other day and I came across a grocery store, right? and anyway long story short so as I was walking through this grocery store I saw a bag of marbles - wait no they were nuts, with like... cherries and grapes in them. actually it was cranberries, I think, the cherries weren't in season. so these dried cranberries tasted really tart and sweet, and I thought "huh maybe they're dried cherries after all" and so I asked the attendent or whatever and she was like "sir you need to pay for that" and I'm like, yeah okay how much and she said it was 10$ so I'm like "dang that's a good deal, I'm proud and amazed of our modern infrastructure and all the hard work of people who don't get paid enough to make it happen" and she's like "make what happen" and I'm like "oh the... the this thing" and I held up the bag of cherries and she's like "oh uh, yeah it is nice, I guess I don't really think about it much" so anyway I started thinking about what else I could bu ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/2465 @user-970 to me, "early" is "before my foe" which is right on time. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────── -> file: fediverse/5786 wow what a sopping evening glad I'm not out in the rain ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── -> file: messages/396 the reason AI art is shit is that it's trying to generate laterally, at the final part of creation. true art is a journey, something that grows and changes over time. why don't we see AI paintings? where they actually manipulate the brush? could be a digital brush but like the point is it's slowly created over time according to different "colors" that correspond to how the AI decided it "liked" the last brushstroke it did. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/4254 @user-192 ty u 2 babe ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/1071 ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: mental-health-fighting │ └────────────────────────────┘ you're allowed to be pissed at someone without being accused of splitting on them ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── -> file: fediverse/6194 I wanna be a background character! they have such a cool vibe/job/home.

Bernie Sanders was well known as someone who could talk to an average republican voter and sway them to his side.
