Court mandated drug counselor told us it makes men grow tits.

Find your local state delegate.

Would this be "State Democratic Party chairs?" I'm not really sure how the party is structured and who votes. And apparently, the chair for my state resigned.

I remember liking Opposing Force and Blue Shift too.

know how to lobby the government.

I'm thinking this may be how it'll work. More like "bribe" though, and Trump is probably doing this on purpose to coerce companies for bribes. Aka, racketeering on the highest level.

Happens when you're not proud of what you're contributing to. Probably most workers, tbh.

I don't think federation has to be an obstacle for non-tech people. They don't really have to know about it, and it can be something they learn about later. I really don't know if federation stops people from trying it out. Don't people think, "I don't know what instance to join, so I'm not going to choose any?"

Personally, having no algorithm for your home feed is what I don't like about it. Everything is chronological. Some people I follow post many times a day, some post once per month, some post stuff I'm extremely interested in sporadically, followed by a sea of random posts. Hashtag search and follow is also less useful because there's no option for an algo.

The UI seems fine to me. I guess I'm not picky about UIs. The one nitpick I have is on mobile, tapping an image will just full-screen the image instead of opening the thread.

Idk. Maybe it's because I learned OOP first that it makes more sense to me; but OOP is a good way to break down complex problems and encapsulate them into easily understable modules. Languages like Java almost force everyone on the project to use similar paradigms and styles, so it's easier for everyone to understand the code base. Whenever I've worked on large non-OOP projects, it was a hard-to-maintain mess. I've never worked on projects such as the Linux kernel, and I'm hoping it's not an unmaintainable mess, so I'm pretty sure it's possible to not use OOP on large projects and still be maintainable. I am curious if they still use OOP concepts, even though they are not using strictly OOP.

I also like procedural python for quick small scripts. And although Rust isn't strictly OOP, it obviously borrows heavily from it. Haskell is neat, but I haven't used it enough to be proficient or develop good sense of application architecture.

I've done production work in C, but still used largely OOP concepts; and the code looks much different than code I've seen that was written before C++ was popular.

I haven't checked it out in years. From my understanding, IPFS aims to be a distributed filesystem that kinda works like Bittorent. If you access a file, you then seed it. Last time I checked it out, the project was jumping on the crypto bandwagon... Just checked out their website now, and don't know WTF it is.

That's not really good evidence. They could've made more money by just holding an SP 500 index fund. Their recent Visa trade is better evidence.

Ok, yes, I support actions like these, and they are good for community defense against small civilian fascist groups. There are not the numbers to counter organizations like FBI, DHS, or national guard though. Things are a bit different when the fascist group you're trying to counter is the federal or state government with the will to kill and immunity from their actions.

Harris just offered little to get voters excited. Mostly ran as a status-quo candidate. Racial minorities, for the most part, are not happy with the status-quo. By being ignored, it allowed right-wing propaganda on media (social and traditional) to do its work. One thing I've heard is, "well, at least Trump sent me some checks." Many people I've talked to weren't happy with Biden's involvement with the crime bill, or Harris' being a DA that proudly prosecuted cannabis offenders. Some people I've talked to liked that Trump pardoned Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, and that woman who had an extremely long sentence for cannabis. One person I've talked to was upset about "libtards" removing black faces from grocery store products (using Aunt Jemima as an example). Some younger men I know (some racial minorities) have started going deep into the Jordan Peterson, Fresh and Fit, Andrew Tate, etc pipeline, which I'm guessing is rooted in sexual insecurity.

The left is such a small population in the US, it's irrelevant. If we are to believe Trump's rhetoric, any group that becomes too much of a nuisance will be deemed "the enemy within," and be shot.
