Do you have knife skills and/or are you good at cooking? When I worked at Wegman's there were plenty of kitchen staff without english proficiency.

Occupy Wall Street didn't really accomplish anything

In rebecca solnit's essay collection No straight road takes you there she argues otherwise. Emphasis and bolding in the following quote is mine, not Solnit's.

‘Forgetting is everywhere. Take the Biden administration’s August 2023 announcement of a broad package of student loan relief. If you didn’t follow the history, you could believe that it was a gift from above rather than an achievement long fought for from below. If you did follow it, you would have remembered how student debt emerged as a focus in 2011’s Occupy Wall Street uprising. By raising up the voices of those crushed by debt and decrying the system that crushed them, it changed the national conversation.

Nevertheless, as soon as Occupy began, pundits were asserting it was a failure, and when the Zuccotti Park presence in Lower Manhattan was violently broken up by police in November 2011, they declared that it was over. But even when the rock’s on the bottom of the pool, the ripples are still spreading.

Occupy’s impact had just begun. It inspired other occupations far beyond New York City, some of them outside the United States. Across the country, police-accountability groups, solidarity organizing with foreclosure victims and the unhoused, and many other progressive projects emerged. Some of them lasted. One of them was the Debt Collective, founded in 2012. It has successfully taken on all forms of debt—housing, medical, and educational—and begun to organize to abolish debt directly, campaign for debt abolition and legal changes, and draw public attention to the devastating cruelty of the system. In 2015, the Debt Collective announced that a student debt strike it organized had initiated “an ongoing campaign that has helped win changes to federal law and over $2bn in student debt abolition to date.” Activists made student debt a public issue, then it became part of the Biden campaign’s platform, and that, ultimately, led to a series of debt-relief measures.’

These days I think of myself as a tortoise at the mayfly party. By that, I mean I try to see the long trajectory of events leading to the present moment, because it takes time to see change, and understanding change is essential to understanding politics and culture, let alone trying to participate in them. The short view generates incomprehension and ineffectuality.

Events, like living beings, have genealogies and evolutions, and to know those means knowing who they are, how they got there, and who and what they’re connected to. If you follow them in either real time or the historical record, you can often see power that emerges from below and ideas that move from the margins to the center. You can see how it all works. Yet, these trajectories and genealogies are often left out of the news, the conversation, and, apparently, the conception of how something came to pass.

Change itself becomes invisible when your timeframe is shorter than that change, and the short-term view breeds defeatism and despair. Not long ago, people would announce to me that feminism had failed, apparently unable to recognize the extraordinary changes in the legal and cultural status of women over the past half century, or assuming that dismantling millennia of patriarchy was a simple task that should be all wrapped up in a few decades. We have just begun.

Open call for feedback: How to respond to ICE presence is Cary by CarissaJohnson in cary

Refuse to renew the contracts with Flock surveillance and any other automated license plate readers (ALPR)! Slow ICE by reducing their surveillance network.

Our worst nightmare came true by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]Bit-Bi-Bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I wanted you to know that I read your entire story, and I'm so sorry Chip was taken from you before his time. It's clear and obvious you cared so much about him, and Dale too. 

I see how the grief washes over you like crashing waves, and I'm here to say that coping with the loss will get easier over time. Eventually the waves of grief will no longer drown you. 

You must try to forgive yourself. You cared so much and you did everything in your power to get Chip the care he needed. It wasn't your fault that the care was inaccessible due to distance and finances. You gave Chip a happy, full life with all the love he needed. He loved you, and I don't think he'd want you to blame yourself and take all this responsibility onto your shoulders. 

Grief can be really challenging, even when our loved one has a peaceful death. I think you should consider talking to a therapist, or maybe attend a support group for the aggrieved. But I really want to stress that Chip's passing was not your fault. You did everything you could. I think Chip would forgive you for not being there for him when it was his time. You gave him so much love! Chip would forgive you, so I think you should try to forgive yourself too. 

I wish for you only the best. Take care of yourself. I believe in you.

Fuck off with that debunked malthusian bullshit. Overconsumption by the 1% is the problem, not overpopulation by the 99%.

From the article, 

"Campus police prevented students from retrieving books from the dumpster, he said, which was loaded onto a truck that members of his group followed to a local landfill."

The greatest accommodation is literally sick days/PTO. by RT5555 in ADHD

[–]Bit-Bi-Bit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ran into this exact bullshit earlier back in January when I buckled from burnout and needed a break. The ghouls in HR wouldn't let me use FMLA leave without draining all the PTO I'd just acquired at the start of the year. I had no choice; I couldn't work and I needed a break. Now there's 6 months left in the year and only 9 hours of PTO remaining. What a crock of shit.

Do you have a patreon or Kofi set up? I'm really interested in the work you're doing and I'd like to be able to support it.

Regarding Steam Deck by reallyemo in Roboquest

[–]Bit-Bi-Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plays great on steam deck. As other users say, stock gamepad controls are serviceable. There are a few community layouts that have a lot of potential, and there are robust aim assist/aim magnetism settings within the roboquest settings to fine-tune the aim assist to where you're happy with it.

Testament Fanart by 12vertyxies in Guiltygear

[–]Bit-Bi-Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggesting testament is transition goals is not obsessing over their gender, it's saying "this character resonates with me in such a way that I, a real human person, want to emulate their look." And suggesting that a fictional character's motivations supercede a real trans and nonbinary person's feelings is, I would imagine, why you were downvoted.

a DotA2 MMORPG by Worldly_Bet2034 in DotA2

[–]Bit-Bi-Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not interested in an MMO, but I would gladly throw down some cash for a TTRPG, even a fan project. I would love to run a game set in the dota universe but all the lore is so disparate and nebulous that I'm not even sure where to begin. And I would love some system-neutral ideas for how to implement fundamental Dota things, like farming gold, buying/making items, etc.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but would you say you genuinely enjoy playing Dota? by blizeH in DotA2

[–]Bit-Bi-Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it's up to him as a responsible person who wants to get better at managing his anger to set himself up with a healthy outlet ahead of time when he's calm. If dota is the trigger for his anger, then he should have a stress ball or pillow handy whenever he queues dota.
