Mmm boot. Tell me your opinions on the French or American revolutions next. No one was oppressed under a monarchy were they?

If there wasn’t such a strong black market for illegal drugs in the US, these cartels wouldn’t have this much power/money.

Impossibly good.

I have Nothing Ear (2), the mic is good, but does a terrible job filtering out background noise. I don’t recommend them if you want to talk in noisy environments.

I used to use nova and switched to Niagara a couple of months ago. It very different but super sleek

I am in my mid-30s, and play fortnite semi regularly. Zero-build is just a solid FPS, and the changing load outs keep it fresh. I play pretty much exclusively with friends my age that have moved to other parts of the country and it’s a great way to keep in touch with them.

Seems like a good place for free public housing.

Love the design, fits The Expanse’s aesthetic.

Jitsi has done a lot to improve functionality since lock down. Still pretty basic, but it’s free and can do moderation.

Fumoffu?

Enshitification is no accident.

Yarr!

On the east coast Raleigh, NC and southward is snowfree (snows maybe once or twice a year, tops).

Hi, I grew up in CNY and have been living in Upstate SC for the last 14 years. It is more affordable on the tax side. Our housing costs are catching up to NY (still less taxes). Job opportunity is very industry specific, and generally tough everywhere.

Moving is hard work (physically), but less of a hassle than switching your primary email address. If you have time, vacation to areas you think you might be interested in. When you go, don’t be afraid to be a tourist/outsider, ask for help/directions/opinions of people you cross paths with, it will really help you get a sense of the area and community. Some people might value a thriving board gaming community, while others are looking for climate/mountain/beach opportunities. If it’s something your worried about, also take a look at a natural disaster map to get a sense of what you might be in for.

I have found that most of Appalachia share a culture/ethos. There are a lot of similar attitudes and ideas among rural people in NY and rural people is South Carolina.

AMA.

This article neglects the state of charging and grid infrastructure. We can’t immediately convert all cars to EV, we don’t have the grid capacity or enough charging stations, yet. Each level 3 (fast charging station) is a custom layout and they take time to design and implement.

Can you point me to a time when capitalism did happen? Where governments and outside forces weren’t picking winners and losers in the market? In such a time what was the plight of the common worker? Did we see overwork, workplace safety, and child labor issues?

Third wave communism doesn’t seek to abandon the “free market” (which is free within bounds), it instead favors democracy in the workplace. Where all members of the organization are employee-owners including ceos and middle management and the “Board” is dissolved into either a representative or direct democracy made up of employee-owners. In this way one increases the incentives for each individual to perform and see the company perform well. This also mitigates much income inequality by allowing the workers a say in the compensation of middle and upper management.

Oof, right in the feels.

One of Turner’s Burning of the Houses of Parliament is at the Philadelphia MoA, if you have a chance, go see it in person.
