Most of what I listen to is hardcore punk or various “extreme” genres of metal so this shouldn’t be something I like, but I really dig this shit, thanks for the rec

You must have one sharp axe

I love your work so much, thank you so much for posting your work on lemmy.

It brings me so much joy to see your art while I’m doom scrolling on this cursed site.

I will love around/ace people like I love my found family.

Aroace people love people, but they don’t seek romance.

The purpose of a law is what it does, and I’m willing to bet what happens is the law is used on dissident non-profits

I really don’t think that sexism was the leading cause of her loss, or even one of the top causes.

She alienated a sizable voter group in a swing state, and people who are struggling to buy groceries are not going to vote for a person who is literally in the second highest executive position in the ruling party, unless they make changes people can see, and have a good campaign on change. When I heard harris give speeches I always thought “well, you have a direct ear to the president and are one of the highest ranking democrats in the US. Why don’t you use this to make change now?

I’ve joined existing orgs that have a clear path, and I’ve started one/resurrected a dead one, and I can say the moment the path to action is visible, people have an easier time getting moving and things begin to fall in place. Once the groups have enough core members, it’s easy for folks to pick up work when others need to take time for themselves. It’s beautiful to see :)

On a completely unrelated note, all of the activist chats I’m in have blown up following the election. Some of the groups have even started receiving donations from new people, and others have received tons of new members. Even with those horrible circumstances, it brings me some hope for the next four years.

That is way too many picks lmao. Nobody needs a set that big. Just a few tensioners, a rake, and a pair of single pin picks would be plenty.

Think of how much inventory you could save if you ditch some things like the pick gun and the many rakes and weird single pin picks. Everything else is necessary though, especially the geode.

I have a similar job, but I have been in the unfortunate position to be swamped with work for the past month or so.

I have had one task that needed babysitting in the past 3 weeks, and I was so busy that I was jumping between tasks at that point.

Exactly.

I use it a lot on my systems for very simple scripts because I am significantly more experienced in python compared to bash.

I remember getting given a 10k line python script which “was the documentation” for an API i had to interact with using powershell. I hated life so much because of that stupid project.

It’s the best scripting language I know of, but man I hate dynamically types languages. I am so used to rust and C/C++ that reading any large script or program will drive me insane

And the whitespace instead of {} tokens…

Sorry, but you weren’t the type I thought you were all the time

Me with python

I agree. I’m an activist, though what I do is non-electoral (direct action aimed to help people and prevent death or severe harm). It’s exhausting, and everyone is like “why don’t you do things” when they sit on their ass watching TV and I spend hours doing activism that keeps people alive. It takes an absurd amount of work to make minimal changes, and even as someone who doesn’t have a very positive view of electoral politics, I have massive respect for the progressive activists who try and make a difference.

Whether or not a system that murders so many people, and makes it impossible to stop the most horrific crimes against humanity is legitimate is another story. Stopping a genocide is mandatory under international law, but the immovable systems don’t care, and don’t do anything but fuel it. And as a queer person, a system that forces me to argue that I matter and deserve rights isn’t exactly one that lives up to the liberal values the system says it is founded on.

While I like the hopeful mood of things getting easier over time, that’s not a hard and fast rule. Im willing to bet that due to modern social media and the way that these impenetrable echo chambers have formed, it will be easier to be racist, and queer phobic, and eventually, the politicians will be insulated from bad press.

Her record isn’t spotless, but when you compare someone to trump it might as well look spotless because the context of trump makes it look so clean

I’m not fully knowledgeable about her record since I have more pressing things to worry about rather than researching harris, but as a queer person, I am aware of some of her shortcomings regarding queer rights.

She has explicitly tried to prevent trans people from receiving gender affirming care when in prison and challenged a ruling in favor of a transwoman to do so.

She also supported trans women in men’s prisons which is an extra horrific experience for a trans person, since queer people are generally more likely to be assaulted, raped, and sexually assaulted in prison. Trans women in men’s prisons have it the worst.

This happened in the past, but with her not explicitly making trans rights a campaign issue in the face of how much discrimination they are currently facing, it is concerning.

I had an elementary school teacher who would ask all of us to save the seeds when making jack o lanterns and give it to her. She’d then make a ton of roasted pumpkin seeds and share it with us and some kids from other classes who brought seeds.

They are pretty good. Highly recommend.

Your kitchen knives are vegan?!?!? But aren’t they naturally omnivores???

Well, there’s also that bit where we funded fundamentalists during the cold war to try and fuck with the soviets, and the imperialism we and the soviets did that led to radicalization. A problem that we exacerbated which bit us back in the ass a few decades later.
