You hurt their donors. You strike at your regular job but it only works if the majority do it or in key industries. It’s why the US has worked so hard to dismantle and discourage unions. Unions give the people power they can leverage.

Hard boycott is to stop consuming products from companies that donate to the administration. Dont buy them. Find alternatives where you can and go without when its not a necessity. It’s really really hard but its the most powerful non violent method available

Strikes and hard boycotts are incredibly effective. There are other less favourable options too, but you should probably start with the strikes and boycotts.

I started a new file end of last year and I’m just now at the first winter with only a couple items left until i complete the community centre. I still need the sturgeon, the sandfish, red quartz, and the red cabbage. I’m really looking forward to having it done then spending the next year courting my future wife and decorating

We have different values, I guess. I don’t think tolerating intolerance is acceptable. I think tolerance of intolerance is essentially condoning it. I don’t see how silencing hate speech will “come back to bite me” any worse than the environment it creates. Allowing violence in language encourages violence of other forms, slippery slopes and all that.

You can point the finger in the other direction, saying silencing speech is a slippery slope to limiting all speech, but I’m still confident in my beliefs that tolerating intolerance is the greater of the evils to me.

Paradox of tolerance. At this point in history it’s important to draw hard lines. It will be up to police enforcement and since generally police are sympathetic to white nationalism, i don’t think it will be used outside of public displays of clear intention.

They outlined it. It’s project 2025 + a push from putin around expanding the US empire

Facts. I’m on lemmy via boost app on my phone. I wouldn’t be otherwise

Thanks mate. I really needed to hear this

Nah I don’t tell anyone unless it comes up. That said, I’m on social media and get DMs telling me I have autism accent, like multiple strangers, so I must not be subtle.

You’ll feel so much better once you get them out! My partner did last year and went from being sick half the yeat to getting sick once or twice. You have to go under full, so that was hard as they get a lot of nausea. Took a few days to heal enough to eat more than soup and ice cream. Overall, 10/10 would do again

Hope your therapist helps get ypu sorted 🫂

Hope you’re feeling better mate! Finding a good fit for therapy is so hard… even if they aren’t much help if it’s not costing anything, you can try and figure out exactly what you don’t like to make finding a better therapist in the future a bit easier.

Congratulations on your jobs and successful break! I can’t remember the last time I felt like I was on break… I need to sort that out

I’ve got all the readers digest sewing books in pdf form from sailing the 7 seas 🏴‍☠️. They have been a great resource for trouble shooting. They also introduce altering patterns and tailoring.

Yeah that’s the one! whenever i say the “women’s weekly duck cake” Americans don’t know what I’m talking about. They have all seen bluey though!

I was hoping you would know of a few linchpins but yeah i reckon we’re pretty fucked

I’d love to hear more about the threads that need pulling to unravel some of the modern media giants.

I want to add this location to my travel list. As someone from a squirrel-less country, where can I find the mutant squirrels?

Meri Kirihimete e te whānau 🎄 About to pop the prezzies under the pōhutukawa and get the cinnamon scrolls started. This year, i made my daughter a new princess dress with a matching one for her goose doll and a doll that looks like our cat.

I just started a new save on the meadow farms! First time starting over. I’m excited to have a fresh start and build new relationships. I’m feeling Penny this round.

For 2025, I’m trying to do more IRL stardew: fixing up a community centre, starting a calendar of birthdays and local events, and keeping track of likes and dislikes of friends and neighbours. Also the usual gardening and farm animals.

I thought it would be fun to play a new save and get some inspiration for my plans
