In the US there’s basically no legal requirements for paid leave so there’s also little to no protection for it

Is it the one I saw at ALDI? (or possibly the same supplier)

It was pretty freaking good ngl

Convenient.

Not even close to true.

“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.” - Abraham Lincoln in an open letter to Horace Greeley, 1862.

Colonization was widely supported pre-Civil War by leaders of the Black community as well.

Maybe in a world where being freed in the USA seemed impossible, and from a place of struggle. Not out of the mouth of the most powerful man in the country AFTER these people were made free.

Out of no small concern for the prospect of a guerilla war sparking up - something which the KKK several years later, thankfully after the Confederates had been largely disarmed and disbanded, did end up creating in response to losing their ‘privileges’ over Black folk as part of Reconstruction

Leaving Confederates largely in power is exactly what led to this. The system had to be dismantled not wishy-washy “oh just say you’re loyal now and you can go back to your life”. This left Confederates in a position in society that hugely hampered financial and societal freedom of the freedmen in a vicious, self worsening cycle setting them back into a spiral of poverty that led to nearly as bad conditions as slavery.

People are products of their time

There are people from that time with FAR better views and actions than Lincoln.

I hope they do and I hope they see those of us who call it out for what it is nowadays just as there existed many people back then who knew what was truly right.

Lincoln, as with all US presidents, was still a terrible person. Indigenous genocider who only ever emancipated PoC for military strategy and floated the idea of deporting all the newly freed persons to some island multiple times rather than dealing with integrating them into society. He wrecked radical reconstruction by being ultra soft on Confederates because he, as stated plainly more than once, cared far more that the country stay together than for the well-being of PoC. Of course, his successor was much worse on that front, but still.

It’s pretty much not reversible and the code is free to use, modify, and distribute forever. And if you do modify it you also must make those changes open source.

Very good news

I mean snow’s only a factor in some places

Wouldn’t be caught dead in a Tesla tbh

But this time seize the fucking bank

the CIA already knows what road signs look like in different countries, or where certain mountains and other features are.

I mean “the CIA” isn’t a person. Someone there does this work. Which is what we’re talking about.

It’s time.

Now?

Now?

They are and always have been. Since their inception as part of a terrorist, settler state.

I was able to use Glassdoor just now with an account from there worked perfect

7.09 global but I do have a few files with over a 30 ratio

With a traditional download, examplesite.com sends a file to your computer, that’s it.

With torrents, instead of that you download little pieces of the file from many different computers. Sometimes hundreds of different computers. Then once you’ve downloaded the file you can then start sharing pieces to other people downloading. The more people doing this, the faster the downloads will be for everyone else and the less strain it will put on each computer’s Internet connection.

Also if not many people are seeding, there’s a danger that the file will have 0 seeders and nobody can download it at all.

This is also why torrenting is good for privacy. Shutting down one website isn’t so hard. Shutting down hundreds of random personally owned computers is very hard.

Blocking Lemmy.ml, the oldest and one of the most active, seems more than extreme.

That point is addressed tenfold in the video

I mean, payphones were at most stops. Rest areas, etc.
