Because it’s fucking stupid.

It’s sarcasm

🍽

2016-2020 was filled to the brim with daily headlines of all the stupid, backward, hateful, fascist shit trump & co were up to. The next n years will be no better.

Laws aren’t moral because they’re laws.

It is very much the topic. Read the room.

It’s not necessarily religion that is the problem here. It’s that people who don’t have critical reasoning skills are drawn to religion.

Not in all cases, sure. But in quite a number of them religion is encouraging that kind of behavior. They tell themselves and others to have faith, to not rely upon evidence, that testing god is a sin, etc. They actively discourage critical thinking and reasoning skills, which is a catalyst for the more dangerous stuff like qanon, anti vaccine rhetoric, etc.

We might still be in this boat without religion, but at the very least we’d have less holes.

Sad that she’ll being staying here, happy that at least in this instance we can’t export our crazies.

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I’m already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn’t the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It’s pretty nifty, and I’ve elected to using it for the second option.

Probably not for a few decades at least. It’s only when today’s college aged people take power that it’ll get labeled as such. And even then, it’s not a guarantee.

we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

So we’re sending more personal instead of getting them out of the situation? Gymnastics.

The root problem is that there is a huge self capturing black market demand for drugs, which itself is a problem rooted in capitalist countries throughout the americas prioritizing GDP expansion over human wellbeing.

It’s the result of failing healthcare systems, the evaporation of 3rd places, the requirement of a car to survive, the failing housing system, the lack of job security and mobility, etc

No amount of military intervention can change that. Even if you somehow successfully destroyed every cartel with a button press, they’d all be replaced overnight because of the huge demand for drugs.

What can actually effect the demand is:

• food, water, housing, education and healthcare being well funded human rights

• mixed used development/relaxation of zoning laws

• transportation infrastructure that allows people to actually have a choice in how they get places

• unions, workplace democracy, worker protections

You get the picture. Life actually has to be worth living.

This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you’re not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It’s compatible for linux/windows.

And the import options seem pretty good too.

Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I’ve had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.

We should absolutely be working on both. But the genocide of palestinians is definitely the easier one to effect at the moment.

.ml has 50k users, and hexbear has 27k.

Assuming every single one of those people side with Palestinians and also the CCP, and are also not bots or duplicate accounts(which is absolutely not the case), that’s only 77k. Or 2.5% of the population of the U.S.

That’s very few people like I said.

And if you only go off of active users in the last 6 months(which we should given that lots of people will have made accounts, then later left due to disagreement or lack of interest), it’s only around 8k people. So again, very few people.

The difference is, western nations aren’t giving China billions of dollars for the express purpose of bombing uyghur civilians. There is still the issue of continuing trade, but then you’re getting into a game of passing the buck. The people blame the politicians who blame the corps who blame the people. Nobody wants to be the first to take responsibility for it.

I think you’ll find very few people who are against Israel’s actions but support China’s actions.
