Ah, no your argument is definitely on the same page then, but at different ends of that page.

So your disagreement goes to degree of breaking and ability for remedy.

Their argument is, the degree of targetting and surveillance has surpassed normal constraints while the ability for a remedy within the normal constraints of the social contract is no longer possible.

To take your example if a murderer is arrested and tried then order is restored and with it the social contract begins to heal. If the murderer however isn’t arrested and tried, then continues to murder, then what alternative remedies are available to be resorted to.

Its a breaking of social contract argument.

Its bad when everyone does it, the point isn’t whether its a good thing to do or not. The social contract only works if people largely adhere to the conditions. The argument is that these people have broken their part, therefore are no longer entitled to the benefits of the bargain. It is a loss for society in general, and the action is a proposed remedy (as a social cost) aiming to restore the social contract.

It can also be rephrased as, Russia has been struggling to take Pokrovsk.

Downvoted, because i hate the mental image you gave me.

Do you think its these? McDonald’s and Loop join forces on reusable coffee cup pilot

Interesting concept, i hope its gone well.

Lets do it. Lets count count count.

In a suburb about half an hours drive from me theres a pink house, like an almost barbie-pink. Its eye-catching, i love it for them. I bet theres a real character in that household!

In Western Australia we’ve been rolling out FOGO bins (Food and Garden organics waste), last summer i didn’t tie off one of the bags properly and there were maggots everywhere, spilling out of the bin.

I guess this could happen with general waste bins as well, so i suppose i’ve changed my attitude on the wrapping up waste to go in your bin idea. The only way i see around it is more home composting.

When history looks back at this time, i think Biden’s largest failure, (in regards this matter), will have been breaking his promise to be a one term President. So many screw-ups happened off the back of that, his catastrophic debate; the funding making it difficult for any other nominee but Kamala Harris to run; the undemocratic way Kamala was elevated to the nominee position; the late in the day change itself.

I suppose it was his own self importance, but democracy is never about one person. Each person plays a part, it needs to be recognised and acted upon when that part has finished.

Its been two or three years now since i dipped out, the way you describe using the ‘don’t recommend’ and ‘not interested’ options seems to have a clearer result than when i last used them. If they’ve changed that functionality in the meantime i’m glad.

Yeah, some of peoples suggestions here are good. I liked that user who only looks at their subscribed channels tab, if i ever go back maybe i’d try that. Though the only youtuber i miss is adamsomething, one day i might jump onto his patreon.

Corruption has made the US a rotten place, if Republicans without brainrot wish to live in a country that isn’t tearing itself apart again they need to reject the corruption at all levels. They need to reject what they have so far accepted from their side as equally as they’ve rejected the corruption of the other side. The gains they think they’re making under this regime are crumbs from the table of corruption they unleash. There is no reason for anybody to be honest actors if the Republicans refuse their responsibilities to all their countrymen.

Ffs hired security… glad you all went prepared, but thats such a ridiculous need to have to think about for a protest.

Hope you stay safe. This was the photo where i thought the people had the most guts to be there. If its really that supportive of your fuckhead in chief, i can’t imagine many friendly onlookers.

Although, i suppose with the smallest voting bloc being republican, and largest being non-voter, maybe you’d get more disinterested people than outright aggression.

A general strike is a mass work stoppage in which a substantial proportion of workers across multiple industries collectively cease https://museumofprotest.org/methods/general-strike/

Are we agreed? Fucken great.

I remember reading about a japanese bus strike where the bus drivers kept doing their job, but stopped collecting the money.

There are also examples from around the world where healthcare workers go to quite serious lengths to ensure delivery of service is maintained while a nurses/doctora strike is taken.

So a general strike could be an option, but isn’t necessary to send a message. In fact more targetted strikes that leave dialogue and service on the table shows the protestors acting in good faith, potentially opening different avenues to bridge the divide between childish-oligarchic-cunts (management/upper class), and the workers.

All i’m saying is theres more options than blowing up the system, and staged, measured, predictable responses to the others actions can be extrememely effective in showing the often ridiculous demands of the other side’s position.

Someone should run with their platform as, ‘Make Dog Rock Great Again!!’

They’d be named emperor of the Great Southern within weeks!

Oh cool, reminds me of the C&C underground missions in Red Alert, taking Tanya through the base. I always took so long with those missions, but i’m a natural turtler.

What are the two communities?

I only ask out of general interest as its such a specific number, if you’re not comfortable sharing, don’t feel obliged.

I get that with some people to, happily i get it in the other direction as well, i tend to enjoy Macklemore even more when i hear his lyrics or consider some of his career choices.

Cheers for the response. :)

Opened the issue on Lemmy’s github.

Since this post, i found out Sync for Lemmy has a very similar feature. It looks like what i envisioned, but i don’t know how well it works, i’ve only had time for a quick look.

No llm, just trying to explain the idea by giving as full a description as i can because I don’t have the technical lingo to describe it in a more concise way.
