I disagree, although I can definitely see where you are coming from. Places like Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi are still dealing with outright racism in some areas. There was even astory I read about a town that had a white okigarchy which wouldn’t give its black resudents mayorship. The South, while seeming like it won’t change, will eventually have to. There are a lot of demographic shifts happening here that will force it to change some. Not to mention a growing labor movement, awareness of clinate change, and growing activism to address social issues that will increasingly put pressure on local and stare governments. So, yes, it will take time to correct the inertia of the status quo, but it’s possible.

For me, Blender was probably my very first introduction into FOSS. I was using it because it was free, but I also liked the concept behind having a useful software the people used everyday to make cool projects like movies and animated shows. I did a project on it in. What really got me down the rabbithole was Debian. I had come across it in computer class, and I really liked the interface. i did more research and came to love Debian for being a stable distro run by the community. From thereit’s history.

I agree with this post you made. If the best we can do is vote into office a fairly old, out-of-tuoch president who has done a moderately decent job of running the United States, then it’s a lose-lose situation for everyone. Politics especially in the United States has become too boring and safe. We need to take a risk on Cornell West and spice the game up a bit. Else we’ll repeat the same mistakes we’ve been making for the past 50 years.

Edit; pls forgive my passion posting, whoops. Point is we need a shake up cuz stuff is going down the drain a little

I’m not sure, but if it gets the ability to sync comments and posts across instances, i’d love that feature!

Ooh, thanks for your analysis! I never considered the “lack of choices” perspective.

you’re probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!

There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.

How do you find other left-wing preppers in your area, just asking for a friend?

I will just say it has always been an observation that degrees in humanities and the social sciences augment math and acience and help us understand ourselves and the world. We need more imagination and introspection from the liberal arts so that we can implement the ideas in real life with nore technical math and science degrees.

Yessss. May i help you with preserving knowledge and helping you farm?

They’re really pulling an America, aren’t they?

Locked, loaded, and ready to fire! I am sorry about decreasing your faith in humanity, and sorry if I throw a lot at you.

If you’re more interested, a YouTuber over here went over PragerU propaganda in this kids show, and I think it shows something important about how propaganda can present a certain world view as well as hide it. Prager U For Kids: A Horrible YouTube Channel

I was a mere peasant working on one monitor. When I finally decides to take advantage of double and triple monitors, my eyes were enlightened, and I transcended as I could focus on multiple screens without having to rearrange windows that much. I recommend getting another smaller monitor because it can fit on your desk space easier. You can also turn a moutor vertical, so it’s more configurable. Ultrawide monitors imo are not worth the cost, although they do look cool.

Yesssssss!

Lol, what if out of spite we basically created a “woke” cooperative that actually sold good stuff? We’d get media for free: good press from our service and good backlash media from opponents.

Why does this remind me of Publix? I smell a lawsuit coming…and fraud

Hmmm…interestinf point…is there a way to break down this deeply-embeeded fear?

This. There are A LOT of errors and fallacies which the brain makes, and oftentimes those can be used by bad actors to influence, nudge, and manipulate the person into doing something. While I understand there is a certain level of accountability that needs to be enforced, we should keep in mind the puppetmaster whom we often do not see in the background can do more harm because they are more deeply embedded and have more implicit power that needs to be uncovered and stopped.
