  • You care too much about semantics, got it. Not a bad thing, just isn't useful atm. Have a great day. Time and place for that is in a few years from now, not right now

  • Are the semantics really a hill you are gonna die on? Alright guys, go get the organizers to change all the banners to reword it so this guy is satisfied—sorry but that's what's needed in this moment!

    I'm being snarky, but what's your desired goal? What does success look like to you here, if people listened to you instead of calling it a 1-day general strike?

    Some day in the future:

    "Hey guys, we're going to do an indefinite general strike!""What's that?""Remember that one day thing you all did on Jan 30? It's nothing like that!""Sweet! I'll go to work then!"

    I don't think you agree that the above scenario is your intended goal, so enlighten us with a corrected conversation

  • You may say that Steam is just an app—don’t tell me, tell your representatives

    Tell your representatives, not me. According to our representatives, what Apple has is not a monopoly. You don't have to convince me, you have to convince them. If you truly care about this issue, vote accordingly.

  • Yes that is part of the difficulty of organizing them—that and theres many millions of those people and they are spread out. How do you reach them over such vast distances and impact them?

  • What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30?

    Because Valve can and Tim wants his yachts. No one is gonna stop em either. The App Store and Steam are the same thing: Store fronts that sell other peoples goods. You may say that Steam is just an app—don't tell me, tell your representatives

  • Turns out it's hard to orchestrate hundreds of millions of people spread out over 9 millions square kilometers isn't exactly easy to do, but I'm sure you have a better strat

  • Strike nurses are a thing ;)

  • literally illegal in the US for unions to call for a general strike, its insane

  • no disagreement from me there 🫡

  • general strike happened because of the visibility of those protests. The world socialist web site was at the columbus no kings protest handing out fliers and a booth, and i'm sure there were communists around

    protests give people permission and reduce the social anxiety to speak out when they see the numbers in them. Its a lot easier to speak up at your workplace about events when theres a massive protest walking past your place of business

    protests can beget direct action and shouldn't be criticized when they do. 50501 has been coordinating ice watches and observations that put all the cameras there when violence occurs. I know people want to open carry at these protests ever since Pretti was killed. If everyone is concealed carrying it feels like a 1v30. If everyone is open carrying it may look like a 50v30

  • WWF ad

  • The fail whale still around? Is she extinct too?

  • Bluey taught me what a tradie is 👀

  • every single one of em should lose their drivers license. Suddenly the roads are even safer now

  • nah, I know how to use a roundabout. Maybe other drivers with a license can learn the rules if the road as well or lose their license

  • Protestors targeted Bonvino over signal and found his hotel two days ago. he gets booted out of the city yesterday, and the fbi is doing signal chat investigations. I think Bonvino got scared or Trump is amping up, I dont think Trump sees anything bad about Bonvino.

  • it isn't illegal to download, only upload. Torrents get you in trouble because of seeding, not downloading

  • that's how ghislaine did it: they extort their victims to recruit new ones to get out
