No, there is no time in the year when a subsistence farmer has copious amounts of free time. Especially because they also kept animals. They worked less in the winter but still sun up to sun down. You do all your prep and maintenance in the winter
Becoming subscription averse has been very good for me.
Also, a lot of utilities are owned by the public or by rate-payer cooperatives. In fact, most of the ones people don't hate. Let's do that with these tech behemoth "utilities." We've paid for ot, we should actually own it.
You know what people love: monthly bills. They keep making the worst possible pitch for AI.
And these fucking guys who thought they were too smart for school. Almost nothing in this country is done by central planning.
Was "For Pete's sake!" ever retired? I used it copiously until my kids hit middle school... about the same time as the 1st Trump admin and I transitioned for ffs.
They were not. They are not. They are wasting time with this unidimensional prognosticating.
Liz getting a cabinet spot would be signaling rhe exact opposite of UNITY.
H
How do people not get that Liz getting a cabinet post is the opposite of a UNITY approach?!?!
She's no olive branch to the current GOP and she would be out for blood—no UNITY with fascists.
If it wouldn't make leftists lose their absolute bloody minds, I would be all for the *right* appointment.
so, next time they are in power, i think democrats should ask themselves real serious questions about whether they want to continue considering bids and accepting contracts from an organization that has made eradicating half the country an explicit political goal
Yeah, they are actively working to take those away.
Words don't mean things I guess...
Granted, woefully undereducatsd here, but I can't even figure out how they paired these things. It feels like philosophy madlibs.
Only it it is weighted and they are throwing it at your face. We need to re-introduce some physical discomfort in the learning cycle here to make it stick.
It promotes so many habits that are self-alienating, make self-reflection and introspection genuine intimacy nigh on impossible.
Don't get me wrong, whiteness in general is the problem, but evangelical Christianity supercharges it.
FTR, I grew up Catholic *deep* in the rural Bible Belt and was raised to be very respectful of my neighbors beliefs.
But white evangelical Christianity grooms people for sexual abuse and exploitation, authoritarianism, and all of the things in between.
Hey, Gen., you could not pursue and illegal war. That would prevent civilian harm.
This. I am from there. Granted, haven't lived there longer than I did but my parents are still there, still sane, and *not evangelical Christian*.
Filter. He was all sorts of red flags when he was elected but people were so excited to have a blue collar coded manly man run as a progressive that they ignored all of them. And I think he'd be doing most of the same withiut the stroke just without the depression and paranoia.
It is too bad she's retiring because thats special.
I wish I'd kept receipts about how I have been anti-Fetterman after a brief stint of appreciating his lampooning of the alleged voting fraud on 2020. Just set of the spidey senses. Guess who else give me bad vibes: Platner
Frankly, it works for about 100 different things right now.
We don't do anything with that information. 3-10% of people register and knowing Janis is bringing 8 people instead of just her... doesn't change anything.
I just love the earnestness of it.
Not to restart the #discourse about anonymity and large-scale actions like No Kings, but I am monitoring the inbox for one such event.
The number of emails from people updating the number of people on their registration because they don't know how to do it on the website (there is no way) 🥰
Traitor is actually pretty good. If he'd just done that, it wiuld have been one of his better insult names. But Brown, every time, I am like, wait, that's not her name, like he iust got it wrong. And the I get to the explanation and find out it is supposed to be an insult.
Republicans continue to struggle with metaphors calling this amendment the "canary in the mineshaft" #waleg
- Automation makes visible work less visible and that makes it easier to exploit and abuse workers
- It increases the skill necessary for the 1st step on the career ladder and we've disinvested in education over the last 30 years and shifted the cost burden to individuals
I am in workforce development and I have been dealing with automation anxiety for years and my response it:
- No, it will not do away with jobs, we are remarkably driven to create new work for us to do
- It may and probably will be very disruptive
- The problems are: +
Applied to identity of "American":
The US was founded as a free country ➡️ All Americans and American leaders are committed to freedom in perpetuity ➡️ What US does is in pursuit/support of freedom ➡️ If the US does something in bad, it doesn't count because, the US is about freedom
This is so white evangelical coded.
I believe Jesus is savior ➡️ I am saved ➡️ I am a good person ➡️ What I do is good ➡️ If I do something bad, it doesn't count because, in my heart, I am a good person
Zero accountability, particularly for white men
