Adding domestic concentration camps is revolutionary in my opinion. Not saying its good.

2·6 hours agoWhen we signed up in the hospital we were never asked for a donation, and we’ve received a book every month so far. It must be up to the local partner, I’m sorry your experience hasn’t been as stellar as ours :(
Both fundamentally changed the country, yes.

4·9 hours agoIts awesome! The hospital includes the signup in the paperwork packet at the hospital. They actually collected that, it was easier to enroll in than it was to get a social security card.
First book is Little Engine that could, our daughter got it at 1 month old.

Do you mind defining:
-Capitalism (or the US’s economy, taking into account utilities, imperialism, and government sectors such as military/oil)
-Socialist Market Economy
Entryism historically has faired better than a “revolutionary” third party. No party aside from Dems and Republicans have controlled congress or the presidency since the 1850s. More recently we have seen political flips. FDR’s New Deal coalition failed to include LGBTQIA+, but the coalition survived 30ish years with prosperity for the working class* before ultimately being destroyed by Nixon and ultimately Reagan.
My point being, that the last 2 times revolutionary politics wete introduced (FDR and Reaganism/Trumpism) it led to YEARS of success for the party:

Healthy, well-regulated capitalism is complementary to socialism. In a world of abundance capitalism gives power to the workers to choose how they want to spend their time and to work on the projects they’re passionate and proud of, while socialism evens the playing field for kids to be able to grow up and participate on an equal footing, and it enables entrepreneurs to take greater risks to advance society’s collective prosperity. Healthy, well-regulated (but still flawed) capitalism existed for under 50 years. It did not address bigotry and other social injustices, as society was considered to be a monolith of white men. Socialism in this same time frame would have had the same issues: unaddressed bigotry and unequal footing.
It should also be noted that legislation has increasingly made it more difficult for a 3rd party to participate. So while there was limited success in 2000, States have made it more difficult for third parties to have success.
We need a revolution. I would rather a peaceful revolution, and I’m sure you would too. But regardless of the shape the revolution takes, following a path of least resistance is a less labor intensive way to grow a movement, and it’s a playbook that has worked well against the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Trans people shouldn’t play sports” offends fewer people than “trans people shouldn’t live” even though they mean the same thing. That’s why Republicans have hit sports so hard. It’s why they targeted local drag shows not Ru Paul’s Drag Race. Take a page from their book. Tea party the shit out of the Democrats.
If you want to build a movement quick, get quick wins. Boycott a local restaurant for hosting a Nazi candidate, as opposed to boycotting Walmart. Creating a 3rd party pushes an elected revolution back by a minimum of 4 years (since many states dont give ballot access unless you hit 5% in the previous election).
*Of course, the cis straight white folk faired the best
Or hijack and revolutionize a party with the infrastructure to win.
Exactly. And especially getting involved locally, where you can have a greater influence and more readily make a difference.

Could a Google Pixel be turned into a Linux device that serves as a 2G to 5G translator so that you can use 2G devices on the go?

LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Is Trans Loneliness Causing an Epidemic of AI Use in Our Community?
3·1 day agoI’m sorry, but what a trash study.
4 universities got together and interviewed 31 people. Averaging 7.75 people each. 1 of the people they interviewed happened to be trans.
The odds of that happening are about 15.86%.
1−((179÷180)^31)
The 4 universities interviewed 384 too few trans people to have any confidence that this trans person represents a majority of the population.
I’m not saying the study is wrong, I just dont have confidence that its representative of anything. And it certainly isn’t newsworthy.
Edit: I made this comment, and then realized that the article was more than the 4 paragraphs displayed here. Its been a day, I’m sorry. The article is actually really well written, and the combination of the studies IS newsworthy.
I particularly like the study calling out the dog whistles that go unnoticed on LLMs. I’d be curious to see what the survey looked like and to see how much I’d identify.
I’m glad to see a general trend of AI rejection from the trans community, and I do think its been a sentiment I’ve seen. I’ve noticed more so than any other artist that drag queens oppose AI. Musicians don’t seem to care as much, but they also represent a much more diverse population.

Lane assist is great though.

I’m forced to assume he crossed paths with a natural tetrachromat and destroyed his research so that she could never use it to surpass his ultimate color vision.
Maybe we should investigate all the recent murder suicides to see if we can find him?











Well, if you declare it.
Please explain how utilities are seen between the 2 different systems. Utilities seem to both operate on the same principals in the US and China, in such, that the people elect a government who then sets the price while heavily regulating for maximum efficiency
