I doubt they’ll take #Arkansas, so I’m screwed either way until my familial duty is complete.

There is still a lot of disagreement about what a good diet looks like. The government propaganda on behalf of the agri-industrial complex that was the food pyramid is still around out there, for one.

It also takes time many people don’t seem to have to eat well. Ready-to-eat food is near universally bad for you, tho it is at least labeled as such if you read nutrition labels or visit the nutritional information page of your favorite chain.

I’m all for better information resources with the best information we do have about diet and any other health maintenance, to reduce “self-inflicted” health conditions. But, I’m against reducing funding for treatment of people’s current health conditions, whatever the cause.

Consuming the media is fine; funding the bad people (or their heirs and assigns) is not. Sail the high seas, mateys.

Most people probably don’t have a signed contract with GMail.

I haven’t checked the EULA but they likely have sole discretion around dropping / blocking email, especially any email that might be deleterious to Google Alphabet’s business.

I thought they had successfully converted around the time they got the infusion of funds from MS. I thought they were started as a not-for-profit, but were already shady-as-shit when they stopped publishing stuff under open licenses.

I think your post might be illegal speech in most of the U.S. as inciting violence. Take care of yourself.

The joke swap is a frequent feature, but it’s not a universal property of Weekend Update.

No. They use something called the “AT Protocol” and that’s about all I know about it.

I imagine some sort of compatibility layer could be designed, but I don’t know how much fidelity you could preserve.

Either is better than X/Twitter for now. Bluesky is “easier” for many people. I prefer Mastodon myself, but there’s a bridge so I can follow Bluesky profiles (and vice-versa) which is nice.

Fuck that. Clock noon and solar noon need to diverge less, not more.

Great policy. Misogynistic, racists, liar will say anything for attention, tho.

As long as they can get tzdata / Olsen db updates before the first change, there’s usually no problem. But, I’m sure there are still devices out there using the OLD US switchover dates from the Bush era, because they have a different, possibly “hard-coded” rule set.

RCV doesn’t need 2 rounds for this. Neither does approval voting.

This is not a problem with voting that needs new ideas to address.

That rate seems high. But, I have done post-mortems on a bad developer’s run at a company, and found they did very nearly nothing. No commits, no issues opened or closed, some comments, but that was almost their entire digital footprint.

Most developers I’ve worked with are obviously not doing nothing, though some of us (including myself) get stuck doing a lot of work on a project that never makes it into production due to shifting priorities.

It’s all I have for proper threading. I won’t forgive Reddit for how they treated me and my communities. But, if you are willing to use Reddit, I’m sure it’s going the have user advantage (and because of that niche interest advantage) for quite a while. I hope it serves your needs and brings you joy.

You might try building a community here, but that is the “slow boring of hard wood” and it can be difficult to find joy in, especially at first.

We use it as medicine for our dog. And, if you have parasites, it’s good in human doses. I think it can also be given prophylactically. I haven’t seen any evidence it should be used to treat any virus, respiratory or other.

Ah yes, the leftists mortal enemy, the less-idealogically-pure leftist.

Of the people that care enough to vote, leftists are a clear minority. We need to find people to work with on specific, community-building goals, even if we can’t agree with them on everything (or anything!) else.

Judge might sentence him, but ACAB includes DoC, so he’d miraculously escape custody.

I never claimed they would use non-voting as a signal for anything, only that they count votes as agreement, not mere tolerance.

Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.

But, even if you believe there must be revolution and the current system CANNOT be reformed, voting is still harm reduction, unless revolution will happen before the results of the election can influence the system.
