There is no shortage of people who will disagree or shoot down any comment you post, any thought you present, while offering absolutely no alternative or solution of their own. That's not discourse, that's shitposting.
Don't let it change your mind or stop you.
I mean, unless you are shitposting.

STOP BUYING. A general strike will not be "pick a day and lets all stop everything." There are 350m of us. It must be gradual, unstoppable and relentless. Each in our own time must deny the 1 thing they require of us: MONEY. We must stop the machine from running at all. They have no answer for that.

When the administration lies in response to things, whether in press briefings, interviews or social media, those lies are not designed to convince you, I or anyone who does not already believe in them. It is designed to reinforce the narrative the right has already accepted. The lies are for them.

National general strike! United, we have power beyond requiring the violence they seek. The government will not save us from the government. Violence will not hurt any of the billionaires. Costing them money will. We own the machine. We hired them to run it. We can prevent it from running at all.

Question: How can I tell what post/reply I made that someone responded to?
I get notified that someone responded to me or even others and I have a hard time finding the original post it is a response to. I post/reply to a lot of different stuff in many different areas.
Is this a feature we need?😧

If we invade Greenland, there won't even need to be a world war. Other countries could just sell off the $9+ trillion of debt they own, and we would be screwed. If they dump their US securities our economy will collapse worse than the depression, worse than the 1923 Weimar Republic.

Within the VR community has also been people who attempted to push human art aside in their aim to uplift genAI. I hope these folks are regretting their decisions now. Layoffs happened but the human made art is still thriving. We never needed AI to make the internet great.
From 2016-‘18:
“AI survival of fittest — knows what’s best for itself, but in order to mimic what humans like — it can understand that, to blend in & be favored by humans. & humans will support & lift it up, & unknown to them, it becomes more powerful than them. It turns tables, now it’s in charge.”

Elections in the United States would be required to continue during martial law or if the Insurrection Act is invoked, as the President lacks the authority to cancel federal elections. U.S. federal elections have never been postponed, even during major crises such as the Civil War or World War II.

About 70m people voted for the GOP. They want to push hard enough to declare martial law and terrorize us into submission.
What they don't want/are very afraid of is going too far and pissing off 320m crazy Americans that have 500m - 600m firearms.
We are resisting.
We have not yet begun to fight.

For many years I have been a proponent of coffee via a moka pot, having had prosumer espresso machines with digital temp controls. This year, Krampus brought us this Keurig and USB desktop cup heaters, even though it's not a true espresso, it is so nice to have a hot cup throughout the day.
