I mean you personally or close family/friends being in illegal imminent danger of bodily harm, not just generally something you saw on social media that made you mad.

if social media oversamples for the number of people in imminent danger, what’s your method to avoid undersampling? because outside of those who would trust you with their life and call on you to protect them, the people around you who fall into this category aren’t going to just casually mention “i’m in danger from the state” for what I really hope should be obvious reasons.

i find the No Kings protests offputting primarily for their rejection of “Do Not Split”. people around me attend them and i’m glad to see those people engaging in things, but they go on to say things like “at one point a group of 4 people in black bloc (one with a “medic” patch) tried to join the march but we walled them off”.

previous large scale protests i’ve been a part of had a natural flow to them: signs and chanting during the day, then as people start to head home it gets rowdier & some time well after dark it turns physical; repeat the next day.

i’m a daytime protestor. but i never felt like my protests were being “taken over”, or that those different groups were fighting for something incompatible with my own aims. there was space enough for me to find a place i was comfortable, and likewise for anyone with different tactics. you can’t have a “mass” movement without having space for all those different masses.

so i can work longer, so i can earn more

same thing but it was black because of the licorice-flavored icecream at a tourist shop. someday i want to go back and try the other flavors: i suspect they’re all like that and this is part of the novelty.

if he needs a legal fund, he knows where to find it 😘

Is that the play?

the play is to get attention and congrats: it worked.

maybe get those tested before you party though.

it sounds like these are distributed at comiket. though if there’s anything else like this distributed as a magazine/postal subscription lmk – this would no joke be perfect for the local hackspace.

idk about mashed potatoes, but i do just add matcha to half the things i bake now. matcha banana bread? yes. matcha pancakes? hell yeah. does it taste better? actually yes, but more importantly my pancakes are caffeinated now, as i argue they should have been from the start.

people who wear glasses with text written on the lens are on another level. like “there’s this bit of text floating in the corner of my vision everywhere i go but it’s fine”

but what do you do when you run into something?

that’s so fetch

was it somebody else’s?

just heads up if you’re getting captchas on YT you’ll probably start getting those on other Google services over time too.

it snowballs like this: YouTube decides you’re a bot => you use less YouTube => Google/Alphabet gets less information/fingerprints of you => Google Search decides you’re a bot => you switch to a different search engine => Google Maps decides you’re a robot …

“Just in case I need it” is the principle of hoarding.

a large media library achieves a similar thing a subscription to on-demand streaming achieves: pick a film to watch, and you can immediately press play. there’s also a curation aspect. whenever one friend speaks highly of a film, i grab it. then once i have a larger group of friends over for movie night, we just peruse the library until we find something everyone’s in the right mood for. whatever we select from that library, i can be confident it’ll be received well: it’s already been vetted.

i mean it’s not that different from the original value proposition for Netflix, only it survives even after they turn off the money faucet.

make this clear to ST and the legislature. make your vote for their next lightrail levy conditional on it being fareless.

I personally believe that the prospect of getting hassled and ticketed by fare enforcement staff is a legitimate reason we don’t see more people on the trains who are visibly suffering from addiction and homelessness.

i also stopped riding once they ramped up the fare enforcement. i’m not homeless or addicted, i just don’t enjoy confrontation and fare enforcement (regardless if you paid or not) is an extremely confrontational interaction.

where the fuck is South Park
