Who is preparing for these things? What are they doing? Can I help? Because I see a lot of calls to vote in the midterms and a lot of complaints about people who don't think that will be enough. I don't see answers to those questions

They are totally going to barricade the house with armed goons. It's pretty easy to come up with that plan and they have enough goons.

Yeah, okay. "LOL nothing matters" seems at least as absurd an interpretation to me. All the op really is doing is being sarcastic about calling your congressperson as a way to accomplish anything. I don't think that implies "do nothing" at all.

You read this as "LOL nothing matters"? I read it as a call for other forms of resistance that people shouldn't really talk about on public web apps.

Can commands be chained? I think this makes sense if there's no loops in the 'flow' (not sure how precise your being with this word, I use it pretty casually). I would probably call it a command id but I definitely see the value.

NO

If I lived on the street and could scrape up $70 for my first shower in two weeks I would do it in a heartbeat. That's not an unreasonable amount of money to make panhandling, many panhandlers are doing it to make rent. No judgment at all I hand out cash whenever I can.

Why a generic name like Correlation ID to connect events as opposed to the specific thing you're correlating? In this case it seems like three events that start with Order should have an Order ID, which would allow one event to be correlated to other flows without collision.

uBlock origin on Waterfox largely prevents this for me. If you do visit a page that does this with its own Javascript, you can zap the element and it won't appear again. But for the most part there's no work required

This is sensible and healthy but if he was gonna do that he would have done it when he was worth a mere 8 figures. Being a billionaire means you had your chance for books and margaritas on the beach and said no, I want to continue to suffer for money I will never spend.

I like how Youtube shows me a "this video was removed by the uploader" message. Really, Youtube? The "uploader"?

WTF IS oh right teacher

Really need to get RSS set up for bluesky so I stop posting things

Trump is very explicitly usurping the power of the purse from Congress to unilaterally fund the military. He's chainsawing a load bearing pillar of democracy. "How will we pay for this?" is not the question! It is instead a question that assumes the success of the authoritarian project!

If they act like they don't care about 2026 elections maybe they don't plan on letting the 2026 election results become the 2027 Congress. They hold all three branches of government and have a bunch of loyal psychos in ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
