Cleveland Rapid Response could use donations if you can.
https://rhizomehouse.org/mutualaid/ is a good list of people you can help.
Shit is going down in Minnesota but they’ve never been more organized than they are now. Only we keep us safe.
If you want to help you can donate to a few groups.

Hahahaha you sound like a technical writer I know.
Thank you!
Huh, according to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man we’re both making strawman arguments.

My comment was a play on the fact that most people call cops pigs.
But then again, I did get fired from Starbucks as a teen.
You can still be competent at a shit job. But yes, if you pay shit pay you get what you paid for. We absolutely agree that it’s not the person behind the counter’s fault. They’re trying to get through a shift, not craft the perfect coffee order to your exacting standards. They can’t even control the grind or pull or steam temp on the new machines. You’re better off going to a fucking vending machine.
The strawmen that we’re arguing over aren’t the same. I’m talking about an asshole who ordered the wrong drink and assumed it was made incorrectly and is interrupting the service of others to fix his mistake.
You’re talking about someone politely asking if this is the correct drink and maybe they were handed or grabbed the wrong one.
I stand by if you got handed the order you placed, and you think it’s wrong. Drink the fucking drink. Barring a health issue or an allergy it’s not going to hurt you. If you continually get a bad/wrong/weird drink at that coffee shop. Find another coffee shop. Or make coffee at home. The customer is not always right.

11·3 days agoI mean, that’s been on the platform for over a decade. Not a lot has come of it. If they’d actually built up any of this into the power grid, it wouldn’t be something the right wing oil and gas lobbyists could politicize.
Look, if we fix the bridges, roads, ATC towers, staff them, nationalize the toll roads, inspect the gas pipelines, replace the lead pipes, reform the corn subsidies, schools, fire stations, rural hospitals, nursing shortage, elder care, vaccine crisis, citizens united, dark money, and pedophile ring then what will the Democrats run on next year huh?
With the Buc-ee’s avatar I’m assuming you’re around TX. Holy shit, I used to weld in the oil patch. I tell you what. You’ve never seen crumbling infra until you’ve watch em hook up a 2 million dollar primary stage HRSG to a pipe that got laid in 1922… It was literally leaking out of the pores of the pipe.
Huh, surprised the Trump admin and Senate didn’t cut funding for these. Hopefully it sparks new interest and we can get the next generation to vote out the NIMBYs and get us some real high speed rail. US air travel is a fucking joke, it’s getting to where I’d rather take a train. I mean If I’m gonna be stuck in Denver because I missed a connection I’d rather be at the train station able to go to a hotel and see the town, instead of stuck in the airport, with a 2 hour gated wait because of TSA and the dangling rotten carrot airilines call standby.
But they’re making us safer Jo! Don’t you know that when the TSA scans your genitalia when you fly to grandmas it makes us all safer. What do you want? You want the terrorists to win?

They’re making up lists. Act accordingly
The WORST service is at places like this. I want to assume the expertise and competency of every person I interact with. Especially in the service industry. The best service I get is terse, direct, and professional. I don’t need my fucking barista to pretend they like me. I need them to get through the 15 fucking orders before mine in a timely fashion so I can get on with the rest of my day. And if some dickhead doesn’t know what a machiato is, he can get his happy ass to the back of the line and order it again.
Barring allergies or medical issues, shut the fuck up and move on. If getting the wrong coffee is the worst thing to happen to you in a day you’re living a pretty charmed life.

1·3 days agoThis is often done when a community starts up their own ISP. Lookup Municipal Fiber Rollout.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=municpal+fiber+rollout&chip-select=search
Bullshit! These assholes have plenty of money to turn on the dark fiber out there and trench new cable if they just took the money they use lobbying and used that. They’ve been pulling this shit since forever. Here’s just some recent history of their fuckery.
https://mashable.com/article/net-neutrality-cra-campaign-donations-scorecard
https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/lobbying?cycle=2024&ind=B09
ISPs should be local utilities.
Wait didn’t this article get pulled?
This is exactly where I’m at. I’m withholding praise until they actually do their fucking job.
2·3 days agoWhich DNS server is hitting first your local pihole or the remote mullvad one?
Hence my surprise. But you wouldn’t care would you Archer? It’s your privilege to ride as a rail baron in the Tunt Family private rail cars.
Actually, I do remember you having some trouble with Canadian separatists while you were doing it. Do you still have contact with the Nova Scotia Liberation Front? We could use their help in the upcoming border wars the Trump administration is sabre rattling about.
