Well, lobbying in the US means “bribing” and if you’re just going to talk to them without money in hand they don’t give a fuck. Since the film is set in the US, that kind of matters. Lobbying against oil anywhere in the world is basically just ignored. Again, direct action gets the goods.

Lobbying is “begging for permission” from people who have been paid to not care. “Direct action gets the goods.”

Related, there’s actually a rundown on a bunch of the opsec problems with it: https://anarchist-archive.org/library/en/hakan-geijer-popsec-how-not-to-blow-up-a-pipeline

It’s a good story, and would be extremely bad to follow as a recipe. But it would be a good movie to watch with a very small group of like-minded friends.

Wow, I really hope no one writes “How to Blow Up a Fractionating Column With a $20 Drone.” Pipelines are pretty easy to mass produce, but attacks on distillation towers like we’ve seen come out of Ukraine can knock out a refinery for years.

Myspace existed for a really long time after it ceased to be relevant. It actually only ceased to be relevant after they lost all the music that had been uploaded. That’s when independent musicians finally abandoned it, and it basically disappeared.

Reporting on “X” is what’s keeping it alive, IMHO. Stop reporting on it and it will stop being used. Alternatively, if there’s some major incident, that would probably be enough to finish it. It may eventually go bankrupt between now and then, but it’s actually pretty useful for people wanting to spread nazi propaganda so the far right will probably keep pumping money in until it collapses.

Yeah, in emacs you use tramp to open the file with /sudo::

I’ve used lucid dreaming to solve problems in the past. It’s not really that different from trying to solve problems while on mind altering substance. You get a mix of brilliant solitons you’d never think of any other time and complete nonsense.

There’s also a lot you just forget. I don’t know if it would be helpful to recover that stuff or not. It may just feel important or correct without actually being useful in any way.

It doesn’t negatively impact sleeping for enjoyable things like designing. I can’t imagine it would be useful for anything you don’t actually want to do.

But then again, extracting value isn’t really the point of a lot of work. Most of it is about power and control. The work place is basically non-consentual BDSM, so it would make sense for an employer to demand someone works while sleeping just to show that they can exercise power over them.

Maybe abolish slavery? Perhaps actually honor treaties with indigenous people?

Oh, you aren’t looking for an answer because you’re an idiot. Go on with your life then.

The logic should apply both ways, but it can’t because patriarchy prevents it. Meanwhile, people who don’t have a critique of patriarchy can’t really explain why this is the case. They simply point to it and say, “this is unfair and it hurts men,” without having enough context to actually fix the underlying problem.

Yeah, no. This would become “8 hours for working, 8 hours for working while you’re asleep, and 8 hours working because ‘fuck you’ that’s why”

Under patriarchy, men are the only ones seen as having agency so they are assumed to always be the aggressor. The assumption is true, even when the reality is not. At the same time, men are socialized to ignore boundaries meaning that most of the time they will be the aggressor, reinforcing the assumption and justifying the application of laws that align with that assumption.

Men will always be the abusers and never the abused. Men will never be seen as the care givers, even when they are the actual care givers. Men will always be the rapist, never the victim. And, because society tells men these things, we often enact them against our own interests.

The fact that this logic doesn’t make sense is something feminists have been calling out for a long time as part of the larger system of patriarchy. While patriarchy usually gives more power to men, it doesn’t always. But even when it does seem to benefit men, it still harms men… Just like how every other system of oppression harms everyone involved, not just the oppressed.

See: MRAs failing to understand how this kind of “reverse sexism” is really just the same patriarchy that feminists describe, and that basically every “gotcha” example is really just an example of patriarchy hurting men… In exactly the way feminists have been describing for decades.

That’s correct. The reason it was there is that some games were written assuming a specific processor speed. When faster processors came out, the games ran too fast. The turbo button let you play older games on your new computer.

He’s a malignant narcissist. It takes a long time to escape that kind of programing. Being in a relationship like that is basically like being in a cult.

Y’all remember the turbo button?

I remember summers without smoke.
