  • [US] How are so many people able to protest? (Logistically)

    Jump

  • There's an entire galaxy of people doing stuff in their free time to support their community, you just never see them if you aren't also participating in some sort of voluteerism.

    Virtually every school in America has a PTA or PTO group of parents that volunteer to support the school. When I was on the board of a PTO, everyone else on the board had jobs but they had schedules that weren't 9-5s. One was a medical biller that had a set amount of work they had to get thru, so they could just adjust their daily schedule to the needs of the school. Another owned a small family run motel and so was able to volunteer in the mornings when the motel had little work to be done. Another was a remote worker for a company in a different time zone so their "9-5" was off hours locally.

    I volunteer at an unhoused shelter now. I get there at 630am with the other volunteers. A bunch of us make breakfast, then catch the bus to downtown for the daily 9-5 (or drive, we live close to downtown). A social worker comes in on her day off on Wednesdays to volunteer as a social worker at the shelter.

    I used to volunteer at a Senior Center. Volunteers were mostly college students who worked in voluteering between classes.

    Youth sports coaches are mostly volunteers after their work day.

    From my experience retirees generally like to support museums, art galleries, and public beautification stuff (picking up trash, planting gardens, etc).

    All of them will make the time to protest. Getting motivated to start volunteering is difficult (it was for me!) but once you start to dedicate time to community building activities, you start to see protesting as just another activity that you believe in and need to make time for. For me, it was just like motivating myself to read more. I'm sitting at the house, I know I should do it, but I didn't. I forced myself to really look at my time management and realized doomscrolling and general bullshitting was taking up a ton of my day. If I just cut down on the bullshit, I had much more time for reading and volunteering and other stuff.

  • Tesla profit tanked 46% in 2025

    Jump

  • my profit and YoY numbers are in the fucking toilet. i'm a straight up drug abuser that's run both my own reputation and that of the company straight off a cliff by propping up racist, eugenicist, transphobic, and sexist movements around the world.

    so naturally im gonna sell my company to my other company and my board (arguably the worst governance board in the US, normally you have to go overseas for this level of corruption) will rubber stamp it and some oil country will finance me again and we do it all over again

    greatest capitalist of his generation. pure unadulterated bullshit to the very end.

  • Communication error

  • I would crush that.

  • Whats the best use for 75 dollars?

    Jump

  • Yea, it would be more about starting a habit that would result in future security. In a perfect world, it starts here with $75 and a tenner every month, then they start putting in $20, then they ramp it up as they're able.

    Xmas Boudin

  • What are some common or everyday unforced errors to be wary of?

    Jump

  • Problems are like compound interest. You're going to deal with them sooner or later but if you do it later, it costs more. Deal with them sooner.

  • Whats the best use for 75 dollars?

    Jump

  • The absolute best use is opening a Vanguard account, putting $75 in VOO, and forgetting you did it for about 20 or 30 years. Even better, put a $10 in there every month as well.

    For a gift for myself when I'm not strapped for cash, I use gift cards and cash for something I would never buy myself. It just feels like it makes a bigger impact that way. I remember it.

    If going the charity route, go to your nearest unhoused shelter and ask what they need. I volunteer at one that is hanging on by a thread (no real funding other than a small grant from the county, it's just volunteers). Sometimes donations aren't hitting everything we need and something has run out. Hot chocolate packets and cup of noodles are so valuable (easily transportable, usable, stable, and withstand outdoor weather) that we were giving out handfuls yesterday instead of our typical limit of 1 per person per day. It's wild how important those little things are.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • We played Rock Band (yarc) for hours at our Xmas Eve party last night. 20 or so people and just about everyone cycled thru to play. That game will never die.

  • Graduate instructor who gave failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky no longer teaching at OU

    Jump

  • It’s even worse than that. The student gave an interview and said they wanted to go see a play so they slapped the paper together in a half hour and dint read the material the paper was supposed to be based on.

    Absolute cowardice by Oklahoma.

  • Got them the cosplay they wanted for Xmas. That’s their big gift.

    And in this moment, I realized my kid fits some theater kid cosplay archetype that I didn’t know existed.

  • Steam Replay 2025 is now live

    Jump

  • Me too, but people I know into each of those genres usually just play the shit out of those genres. Racing peeps and sports sims peeps usually have a billion hours in them and like 3 playing some else.
