  • Why liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns

  • Contact or join your local SCA group. They may be anachronists as opposed to anarchists, but if you want to learn how make and use weapons and armor of that sort there are few more accessible teachers and trainers.

    One of them made large amounts of basic body armor from heavy gauge plastic barrels for use by protesters a few years back. They may not stop bullets, but they are very_ effective versus "non-lethal" rounds and similar.

    And yes, the person did get a visit from the FBI, who let the person keep on making as they weren't working on weapons of any sort. Just the armor.

  • The US already has died as a global superpower. Only it's military keeps it going.

  • YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.

  • I wish I could afford red meat...

  • All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer

    Jump

  • Well, all the Nestle stuff gets sent back to them. Pretty much all the big name cereal outfits have orders that damaged products are to be sent to a salvage company.

    Happily most cheese and sliced meats can be donated, plus we generally send 8-10 shopping carts of baked goods and produce directly from us to them every day

    Jump

  • I'm one of the returns clerks in a Costco. First thing we do every morning is process stuff to send the food bank. It irks me how much stuff we aren't allowed to send because the manufacturer won't allow it. Even despite that we send a lot every day. Everything that does spoil at the food bank goes to a local pig farm, who donates pig products back to the food bank whenever he can.

  • Let's cute up our day.

  • The Call to Execute Luigi Mangione Is Indefensible

    Jump

  • I debated how to reply to you for probably too long. The best reply I could think of, is the following:

    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;

  • The Call to Execute Luigi Mangione Is Indefensible

    Jump

  • No, a man with the right to be innocent until proven guilty is being presumed guilty before due process can be done.

    There is a difference

  • 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

    Jump

  • Possibly/Probably but as I said. Right now win 10 runs all my productivity, gaming and streaming software such as OBS and Veadotube.

    They run and run well. I have literally no incentive to switch to either a Linux distro or win11. If that changes, then I'll consider changing my OS, but until then...why would anyone?

    Jump

  • I have no plans to either update to win11 or change back to chanting magic spells at my computer to get it to work (Ubuntu, many years ago).

    My computer works and does everything I want it to. Basic internet security and reasonable precautions are sufficient for a low level user like me to stay safe.

  • What's your "weird flex"?

    Jump

  • Well tbh, I'm still working out how a lot of this federated thing works and this was my gateway to Lemmy after the Redditpocalypse

  • What's your "weird flex"?

    Jump

  • I was the buddy hanging on for dear life. The driver was a good friend, but a horrific driver. He almost got the title. Both times, cause they invited him back for the Worst Ever season

  • I was on a show called Canada's Worst Driver. Hence my username

    CEO of UnitedHealthcare fatally shot outside of NYC hotel, source says

    Jump

  • I'm relatively sure that the shooter will turn out to be someone who had a loved one suffer and die because they were refused health care coverage. This may turn out to be only the first of similar incidents.

  • National security advisor Jake Sullivan says Biden told him to oversee a 'massive surge' of weapons deliveries to Ukraine before his term ends

    Jump

  • As someone of Ukrainian descent I do. My grandfather fled the Holomodor to arrive in Canada in the 1920s, where he was able to put down $20 and prove out a section of land in a 5 year period to earn title to that land. That said, I am glad you used an actual news source. When I first saw that they were youtube links I was already going, "Oh boy, here we go again with a raging conspiracy theorist," but I was pleasantly surprised that it was DW News, an outlet that plays on my smarthub, along with CBC news.

    That said, you have anything newer than 2 years ago? It would be interesting to learn if there has been any progress on this.
