I’d fix it, but in truth I’m never arguing against the person, minds aren’t usually changed in online arguments. But a comment for someone else watching the conversation, is instead what I’m after.

That plus I’m really lazy.

D’oh, point remains, meant it to be in support of yours anyway so I’ll leave it :).

I used to agree, but now I don't. In the general election, the choice is between FASCISM NOW or FASCISM LATER.

Hard disagree. The reason for this mentality is Americans have this stupid fucking idea that one election fixes everything, and if we vote the once “correctly” we are done.

Fuck that. Vote blue blue no matter who means vote them to the left EVERY TIME! So next election isn’t about a fascist vs. bare minimum. You get the minimum and then work your ass off for a better challenger FROM THE LEFT for the next election.

Kinda seems like we already did.

Thanks so much for the advice. I’ll look into it.

I actually have an ac180 for camping and using tools away from power. I kinda figured it was a bit of a waste as just a ups, and worried about killing the battery quickly.

Maybe get another dedicated one for the office where I need it..

You have got to be goddamned kidding me. Literally this weekend I said to myself “time to get a UPS”.

Because most of its citizens peaked in it.

They made mention of how the next protest would require action at No Kings this weekend. I was sincerely hoping this might be the case. It felt like enough people are showing up for these that action just might be possible.

I don’t know, but it was inspiring to see so many people, and the conversations going on are much more targeted and direct. I don’t have much faith left, but here’s hoping; I’ll do my part..

Exactly, they are an important tool in normalizing a resistant mindset. They get headlines, and it shows others who might be on the fence that the movement is growing. It gives people hope, unifies them.

So even without a cause, we all know what we’re protesting. Normalize the resistance, make it ordinary, make it default. We’ve been listening to their bullshit long enough, I just want to some time to shout myself.

Then I come home motivated and get to work.

And just where can one procure such a pile of towels?

Been on it for years, but reminds me that it desperately needs a hardware upgrade. Seems like now is the right time.

Anyone have any good suggestions? I’m still running an old pcengines apu2.
