It’s not the smoking of bare foot pets that’s prohibited in the building, that’s just silly. Bare foot pets just have to stay outside the building while smoking. And rightly so.

If your pot bellied pig tries to go indoors without putting on shoes or putting out his cigarello first, that’s on you for being a bad parent.

Crucifix.

Yeah it really stands out.

Either it’s a lie and feds installed a keylogger remotely after the tip off from the Roblox user mentioned, Or the “matyr” had behavior problematic enough that even their family were concerned.

Cosmetic injustices like this are an intentional distraction from the regime’s attempts to steal all public funds, kill Americans who need Medicaid, continue their ethnic cleansing campaign at home and support Israel and Russia’s ongoing genocides.

This is correct. The look is referred to as “mar-a-lago face” and it fits in the long tradition of extreme elite modification to the head, like artificial cranial deformation.

We don’t have this problem in Australia, where a sandwich is narrowly understood as being between two slices of bread cut from a loaf.

If it’s on a bread roll it’s not a sandwich it’s a roll. If it’s on a burger bun it’s not a sandwich it’s a burger. A sub is not a sandwich, it’s a sub. A hot dog cannot be considered a sandwich, nor could a cake or anything else that’s clearly not a sandwich.

They announced before the event that they had cancelled any elected officials who were planning to speak. They also said something like, “If you are told that the event is cancelled, that is just a rumor.”

Ah, thank you! That makes a lot more sense to me now.

I’d heard it was over flyers in a car but I was hoping there was more to it than that. That’s a pretty flimsy threat to be capitulating to when we’re fighting murderous fascists, and sets a bad precedent.

I was not aware of how thin dem majorities were. That’s very important context, thank you.

I heard that the protests in MN were cancelled, which seems like a cut and dry tactical misstep from protest organizers to me, but I haven’t been able to find a lot of details.

This doesn’t look cancelled.

Anyone on the ground know more details?

It’s also important to remember that non-violence serves the interest of entrenched power. The state is at its core a violence-control structure. When people excersize the power of violence in their own interests, the state must reassert it’s dominion or risk collapse.

Non-violent requests can be accommodated without elites feeling like their ill-gotten power is threatened. But it’s often the violent demands that scare them into doing so.

a unique quality to the feeling of it’s drive

I have to admit I’m skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.

Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we’re told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.

As humans it’s rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.

Why repost low effort trolling?

Amateur flint knapper.

Securing the resources to spend on communal projects that benefit the state is one of the many reasons that state employs violence against its citizens, yep.

Roads are a great example because across the world, major road projects were always built to speed up the military getting to and putting down rebellious provinces - bearing arms against their subjects.

All states are instruments of violence, that’s their sole function. Anything they do that makes our lives easier is just the velvet glove over that iron fist. It’s easy to pretend otherwise when the state hasn’t turned its violence on you yet.

Bearing arms against it’s citizens is literally the entire point of a government. The state is just a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. The only time a government is not bearing arms against it’s citizens is when the threat of bearing arms against it’s citizens is enough to get what it wants.

I’m sure you will be surprised to learn after reading that picture of success that I am barely even an achiever.

Not being able to unpin email chains unless you change it to non-threaded replies, select all, unpin, then go back to threaded replies like a civilized lifeform. Otherwise it just repins the chain when it refreshes.

Our office also uses teams phones which still don’t have a way to show missed calls. We literally cannot call people back if we don’t get to the med room phone in time.

Gaining high status or power changes your brain, suppressing empathy and making you neurologically less able to consider the pain you inflict on others.

The powerful become evil, it’s just how human brains work.

(Here. Are. Some. Sources)

Yes! House of reps is what I meant. Thank you.

There are some exceptions and it’s definitely not all they do, but attending to the interest of the powerful is their day-to-day work.
