50 minutes isn’t that bad tbh. I dont remember the last time I flew that there wasn’t a delay. Hell even the whole arriving 2 hours before ,finding parking, going through security is all so much more of a hassle.
I’d much rather walk 5 minutes to the local subway head to the hauptbahnhof and wait 50 extra minutes for my train. I can at least go get a reasonably priced coffee while I wait.
It’s a bad agreement to make. If a nuclear nation tries to make a deal with a non-nuclear country to not develop a weapon that country needs to double their nuclear program funding.
The US doesn’t respect their agreements and Russia clearly hasn’t. At best nuclear nations just want to keep the non-nuclear nation subservient
Then as I said we’re already cooked. But also that is demonstrably false anyway. Our judiciary is under heavy threat, but still functioning
I doubt they will find anything of use. The most powerful thing I can do is slow them down. It’s the best use of my privilege
I bring my phone. I likely won’t be breaking any laws, and I can afford a lawyer. So yeah arrest me and waste the system’s time. Just another data point they have to sort.
And if it gets to the point where none of that matters we were cooked anyway
You can download a copy of Wikipedia in full today before they turn it to shit.
Unlike the people in Alexandria, you can spend less that $20 and 20 minutes to download the whole thing and preserve it yourself
Yeah wow 2015 how impressive
I’d argue it’s worse. I’ve met people that never stop vaping. I’ve even know some sleep vapers.
I’d say if you used it as a 1 to 1 replacement for smoking it’s probably better, but if you hit it 10 times as often as you’d smoke a cigarette you’re going to be worse off
I smoked occasionally while drinking at bars/parties. Bought a few packs to smoke/share. Never smoked outside of those times and at worst it was maybe every other week.
I guess I had a decent addiction tolerance.
Ah yes my daily nicotine coffee
A drunk cigarette is quite nice ngl, usually makes the hangover worse though
You do make a good point. They could have more going on and maybe just have a weaker advertisement of it. I’ll look deeper into my local chapter
All my local PSL does is go to protests and post gofundmes.
Seems a lot like the type of lackluster activism you accused me of
Sure the parent organization has a better message, but they seem generally ineffective. But I guess that’s what the system is designed to do. No real change can occur without revolt. And that will be suppressed with extreme violence.
Let me talk about my personal life for a bit. Maybe you’ve never met a worker or maybe you’re too concerned about your moral high ground to take a pause and think about everyday people’s lives.
My sister called me yesterday crying after Trump’s “big beautiful bill” passed the house. She is deathly afraid of how she’ll make ends meet without food stamps or the medicaid that pays for my niece to have Healthcare. So now she worries about being able to feed her daughter, a daughter she had no choice in whether or not to have thanks to state laws.
The idea that there is no conceivable difference is bullshit. Should two full time workers struggle so much? Absolutely not. They should be able to afford to live, and food stamps is a band aid solution. But it keeps people fed. Neither party wants to fix the cause, but only one wants to cut food stamps. Only one wants to end school lunch programs, end abortion, disenfranchise women, and we both know I can keep going.
Yes both are evil, and I’ll concede Guantanamo Bay. It’s sad that I was thinking about the new one in El Salvador and forgot that one. The crimes of this government is astounding.
You’re not even wrong about how the working class need socialism they do. Without a doubt. That’s unfortunately not coming tomorrow, and we are stuck with a binary choice. Unless of course there’s an armed revolution neither of us will be starting so maybe skip the rhetoric or feel free to prove me wrong. When presented with an unsatisfactory binary choice I’ll vote for the one that is less likely to cause my family to go hungry.
I agree the system is broken, and our options are limited. We can take up arms against the state, but that may not go so well. The only option that they won’t execute us for is picking harm reduction at the ballot box. Not satisfactory but at least my niece gets to eat and my sister can sleep a bit easier. We can of course protest, but that has always seemed ineffective as well. I go, but especially in modern day it seems lack luster. If you have any suggestions feel free to give them. But I will always pick the choice that causes the least amount of harm while trying to figure out the path forward to something better.
Sorry I’m not going to buy your “both sides are the same” bullshit when one side is currently utilizing a foreign gulag.
Neither is ideal, but it doesn’t take a genuis to parse out which is worse for the worker.
It’s low key Nazi apology rhetoric
Fascist = sharks
I’d say capitalism will be easier to defeat under a liberal democracy than and authoritarian fascist regime.
It’s better to stay separated from the sharks I’d say
Better in a slowly sinking ship than to be torn apart by sharks. Even if the people in the ship are ignoring it’s sinking.
And ironically depending on the boat’s construction it may fill with water and still maintain some buoyancy. Or only half the boat will fill. The boat will be a lot worse, but still provide a barrier to the sharks
Many libraries also give out subscriptions.to Mango. That is usually a paid app and much better than doulingo
Better to jump into shark infested waters than to try and patch a sinking ship
If it’s removable you can much more easily recycle it though. Sustainably that is much much better than average phones.
However, while more sustainable than current it is not the most sustainable if you charge it like that
