ISPs already do that here in the states. The court case is to decide whether they should shut off access.

I don’t know about you but I’m sick of being on the team that follows the rules and loses to the criminals that completely ignore the rules.

I don’t think Lemmy would count as social media but that said, you can easily create a dummy account that just, for example, posts pictures of moths or beans or bread or whatever.

I hate questions like this. Because for conservatives, taking bribes isn’t an exclusionary issue. They would vote for the literal Antichrist if it meant they could oppress someone.

Sure they might care that their particular conservative representative not take bribes but if that representative took bribes but was also racist, they are going to vote for them.

It’s almost like old school Google front page.

This verse is superceded by the Supply Side Jesus version

Be sure to rub your faith into the face of your enemies, especially if they are woke and liberal. Because seeing them panic makes God happy and therefore you happy. While you’re at it, make sure everyone with dark colored skin suffers even more.

I had to check and …nope…

Or just ask the person organizing the meeting.

“I saw you added me to a meeting tomorrow. Can you provide a bit of context so I can come prepared?”

Wasn’t the cardassian holographic doctor on Doogie Howser?

I think it’s very context dependent.

Pharmacists often recognize me and I’d rather they didn’t. But I get it. I’m there almost every week for something.

My favorite bubble tea place now recognizes the car I drive so they will prepare my tea as I’m parking and it’s ready by the time I get to the counter. I did tell them that on occasion I’ll order something different but I appreciated it nonetheless.

Close. You can’t be tried at the federal level. You can be tried at the state level (specifically New York) but even if you are convicted, judges will essentially commute your sentence.

.world admins subscribe to a “both sides are the same” approach and it’s simply not compatible with folks who are actively engaged in, let’s say, supporting and defending democracy.

This community is on .world so their rules apply. Your instance is pretty chill.

It’s only the same dynamic if shooters are running into legislative buildings.

But they (the alt right) are assassinating politicians who are at home or alone.

We’ll leave it at that

Speaking of which…

Today is Primary Day in Virginia!

Go out and fucking vote!

A couple of strategies depending on the problem you’re dealing with:

• if you don’t have time, make simple meals that minimize prep. There are cookbooks dedicated to this concept and highly recommend picking one up. “30 minutes or less” meals were a god send for me in college.
• if you don’t like the food you’re eating, explore new types of food. This is often a more expensive endeavor as it may require you to buy new spices, cookware, etc. again, cookbooks are a great help here. Most Americans eat a combination of Italian and Mexican food. Try making your own Chinese or Indian food.
• if you are lazy, consider a food prep day. I do food prep on Sundays and makes cooking through the week much faster and easier. Also helps to cook large batches that can refrigerate and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven. Make dishes that taste better with age. Chili, marinated dishes, etc. fall into this category.
• if you’re too lazy for that, then eat out and don’t cook. If you value not wasting food over your money, then this is the best choice overall. It’s the most expensive option but if you’d rather not cook and have the resources to just eat out, then do so.

Lack of motivation (assuming you’re not neurodivergent) often is a result of not having a plan or you find the activity tedious. If it’s the latter, I’d go the simple route and try to keep your cooking as easy as possible. This is essentially true if you’re new to cooking.

If it’s the former, consider meal planning. I plan my meals a week in advance, taking into account left overs I already have, left overs I’m planning on making, food I need to buy, and other factors.

If you’re neurodivergent, I’m hesitant to provide advice as I am not a doctor but I suggest talking to your therapist about it and seeing if they can help you.

Ironic.

I highly encourage you to go. They are counting on people being afraid.

Everyone who attends these protests risk something. For some it’s their jobs. Others it could be their lives.

They are out there for you, for me, and countless others.

Joining them shows solidarity. But it also helps you feel less alone.

Practice good OpSec. If you don’t go, then find other ways to resist.

Unless the ones that aren’t willing to stand up to those who are, then they are just as culpable.

Why…were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.

Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.

Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven’t been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it’s been fantastic.
