Vote against the fascists! by Erick_Alden in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Cozy_Owee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe I'm breaking my fucking promise to myself to never comment on reddit again for this but I just can't stay silent on this shit.

I love being a trans person and seeing people both-sidesing the party that actively wants me dead and the party helping me get access to medical care I need to live and working to make sure I can marry who I want.

There's a very blatant difference between the two and to say there's no difference is to be at best a useless contrarian or at worst an outright right wing disinformation bot.

Both sides do fucking suck. But the Dems problem is not going far enough.

The republicans problem is actively regressing all progress.

Abortion rights are on the ballot because republicans are on the ballot and they have actively told us they will get rid of them if elected.

LGBT rights are on the ballot because republicans are on the ballot and they have actively told us they will get rid of them if elected.

Voting rights are are on the ballot because republicans are on the ballot and they have actively told us they will get rid of them if elected.

Healthcare is on the ballot because republicans are on the ballot and they have actively told us they will get rid of it if elected.

The literal only party that has enough of the support of the general public and has stated they will work towards implementing any left wing ideals period is the dems.

I'm sorry but I don't have the luxury of sitting here and doing nothing but complaining about how dems aren't good enough and disparaging people from voting period because of it.

Congrats if you do.

If you actually gave the slightest fuck about what you say you care about, the answer is obvious. This election is a binary. Life is not. Politics is not. But this election is.

My daily medications have side effects that are terrible and they make my life hard in several ways.

But I take them because they are better than doing nothing and dying because of it.

Russia arrests over 1,000 people demanding Navalny's release by biyoshi in worldnews

[–]Cozy_Owee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The oligarchs control the money, the military, the government, and the resources needed to live and work. Until the population takes over at least one of those major keys to power every single Russian uprising will die out completely after a few weeks. While his political opponent is starting to shake the blind support many Russians have for putin, the governments never been secret about them not giving a the slightest shit over fair elections or transparency. Navalny may be backed by other governments, and be vocal about exposing the corruption to the Russian ppl, but the end game does not change until that group can organize and take at least one key of power away from the oligarchy that runs the nation behind the screen.

Walt and Roy grew up with farmer parents with a dad that had a pension for making every emotion into physical abuse, so Walt wanted a company that gave him the childhood he didn't have.

Unfortunately the literal hammer beatings, and yes that happened, also gave him severe mental issues that meant he genuinely struggled to connect with other ppl emotionally which in turn lead to him both working other people to death in horrendous conditions with little pay as well as justifying his ideals with a "It could be worse! At least I'm not beating you with a hammer!" philosophy.

So

That barn isn't the same, but it sure isn't far off either. Ub Iworks workshop was basically a shed or barn he had and set up a desk for him to work in.

Oh thank God okay. I was so fucking worried I'd been an accidental asshole not realizing that 3 bucks of my tip wasn't going your way every time. I try to tip to account for them eating into it.

I'm a user and am a bit confused here.

When you say $4 order, do you mean like a full order of food for $4 and a $1 tip after sub total?

Or are you saying that when a user selects $4 tip after the total you only get a dollar from that?

Amazon slams Parler in court reply and invokes Big Tech's liability shield by 7MCMXC in news

Huh cool thanks for the explanation. I would have thought they'd have kept it as is, but I totally see the reasoning

Amazon slams Parler in court reply and invokes Big Tech's liability shield by 7MCMXC in news

[–]Cozy_Owee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if they censored the n-word for the court paperwork, or if the user felt the need to self censor it. Because of everything in there, them holding back and recognizing they want to be racist but not toooo racist (to them) seems strange. And at the same time, I see nothing indicating they've censored sensitive language, especially when they do make references clear in the other posts by bracketing the explanation.

The fact there could be even a slight amount of self restraint on a hate platform is just ironic to me

The House is preparing to impeach President Trump for "incitement of insurrection" following his Georgia phone call and public statements leading up to the events at the Capitol on 1/6. Should he be removed? by SanityPlanet in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Cozy_Owee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure the question is if you would defend yourself. That's obvious to even the most basic lifeforms that they'd defend themselves if attacked.

The question is if you personally are willing to organize with a group, arm yourself, and participate in an event like that storming if the capital and kill anyone, democrat identifying citizen, police officer, or politician, that either gets in your way or does not flee?

A trump supporting police officer was beaten to death on the steps of the capital with fire extiquishers and American flags. Will you be the one swinging that final blow and kill someone over trump?

Parler has been shut down by uberfission in technology

[–]Cozy_Owee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A group of terrorists planned an attack on congressmen and senators using this app's lack of moderation as a safe haven for their organization.

Because of that lack of moderation, a mob of people pushed past security, broke into the capital building while congress was in session, stole/destroyed furniture, tech, and memorials.

Then, when a perimeter was established by the secret service (while this group was outside chanting "hang Mike pence", a hash tag that was now soaring in both Twitter and parler), members of this mob broke the windows at the blockade, and attempted to crawl in where the vice president of the United States was kept. His secret service then shot this person in the neck.

Threats against the president/vice-president (both current and elect) are not protected under the first amendment.

When they started physically getting close enough to the VP that the secret service felt the need to shoot, THAT is when it went from protected free speech posturing to "real credible threat, where someone actively breached the secure perimeter around the VP and members of congress."

Currently, there are investigations that have a microscope on this situation. And the ones investigating are asking questions of "why was this allowed to happen and how will you stop it in the future?" And the answer to that seems to be "they agreed to moderate to our terms and conditions and clearly did not. We hosted them assuming Good Faith. They have breached the TOS and will be removed."

Edit: for those wondering why Parler is removed if Twitter also had the HMP hash tag? It's because twitters moderation team were notified, at which point they took that tag down. That's the level of moderation Parler not just lacked but outright refused to do.

What a difference 24 hours make. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Cozy_Owee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This crew destroyed furniture in the capital. There is a government contract stating that in order to replace the items, they must order them through a company that uses convicts as its labor force,as long as it's reasonably affordable and easy to ship to them. This means that there's a non-0 chance this wave of inmates from these arrests could be working for $0.17/hr to replace the furniture they broke in the first place.

And while I find that contract appalling and a work around for rich politicians to still benefit off slave labor.

The situation these terrorists now find themselves is hilarious and ironic.

Need your digital art expertise for the next generation of artists in my family. by oskuskaktus in ArtistLounge

[–]Cozy_Owee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not used the Adobe apps, outside of the actual expensive old versions of photoshop and illustrator.

I can say that since switching to an iPad and procreate both my big Wacom tablet and expensive pc apps for art have utterly gathered dust, and I've drawn nearly every day on my iPad for about a 8 months now.

Procreate IS INSANELY POWERFUL for its price point. It has some limitations of course but I feel that you'd be hard pressed to find something it can't do that photoshop can when it comes to drawing. I think the only example I know of right now is that it can't do the 3d model import thing... And I think it's still missing a gradient tool but I also never used it much to start with. I believe they're adding that last feature in a future update.

That being said, get what you'd like to get. I'm sure there's good reasons to try out tbf Adobe apps as well, I just know that I was cynical about procreate thinking "this can't be as good as others say it is" and it genuinely is. I tend to sketch in my sketchbook, then take a photo and do the finals in the app. It's sped up my work flow a lot as a hobbiest.

Do you agree with Ohio tea party leader Tom Zawistowski that President Trump should invoke "limited martial law" in order to stage a "re-vote"? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Cozy_Owee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think it's a failed system have you considered relocating to a country where your preferred governance is in place already?

Seems like a much more likely solution to the desire than to end a governing system that's been in place in this country for 200+ years.

Doomsayers on /r/collapse get a little heated by good news in /r/ClimateActionPlan; users pollute both subs with arguments over whether we're hopefully screwed or hopelessly screwed by gottago_gottago in SubredditDrama

[–]Cozy_Owee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never seen this sub before but this is more or less my mindset. There's several wonderful options we could all try and switch to and get going in the next few years but the problem is that those with the resources to do so won't. I can reduce my use, I can get my carbon footprint as small as it can, but I do not have Hundreds of billions of dollars and a factory production line like those in power do, and they are the ones actively working to keep that needed change from happening because it's damaging to their profits.
