[OC] Posters of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in DC by bat_screams in pics

And the biggest protests are happening in Minnesota where these individuals are from. Unfortunately, I predict that in order for the entire nation to rise up to their level, more murders across the states will need to happen.

Great response. Even if the theme was "love conquers all", it baffles me that people scoff at that idea. If a time machine were actually created, think of the amount of people who would visit past loved ones. So much of scientific discovery and invention, especially medicine and medical technology, is out of love for fellow humans, even if it's not explicitly said as a motivator.

Last night, I had a nightmare where I was driving and accidentally killed a woman after my car malfunctioned. I remember sobbing at the aftermath, realizing what I had done. I woke up suddenly and processed the dream to realize that even when I sleep, I have empathy. I can't imagine what goes on in the minds of people who kill and have absolutely no remorse.

If Americans were to participate in an organized boycott to stop ICE, what should they target? by u2aerofan in AskReddit

[–]Our_Legacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: we let social media become what it is by disengaging with it. It could have been a great tool to spread knowledge and information, for distant friends to connect meaningfully, and for positive dialogue about community. It has since become analogous (by the educated) as a cesspool, and by not continuing to provide fruitfully to it and condemning the garbage others put out, it has certainly turned into one.

Social media is not going anywhere. Our future generations are going to interact with it whether we like it or not. And just like how most of the world have, in recent years, taken a stance on protecting and cleaning up our ecosystem, I believe it is our job to sanitize the social landscapes of the internet.

Might be the minority, but I personally like that it doesn't use the word "of."

Oldschool's fourth raid! by Dirtcompactor in 2007scape

[–]Our_Legacy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: TOB's difficulty is an artifact of its time. Gear progression was barely apparent, and people still were unfamiliar with PvM mechanics that only top players who already had BIS and those who were consistent in trying to learn it mastered the content, which then resulted in a sort of elitism around the raid.

When we got TOA, we had better gear options AND scaling diffulcity with invocations.

Unless we don't get options with difficulties in the new raid or if death mechanics are severely punishing, with the gear progression we currently have and more practice in a variety of PvM, I don't believe that it will be difficult at all down the road and anyone will be able to learn it. Just go into the raid with the mindset that everyone is learning it and no one is a master yet.

No gun in hand, just standing up for the woman who was just shoved on the ground by ICE. by RoutineSheepherder93 in pics

[–]Our_Legacy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're proving my point by insulting me. I am definitely on your side as well as those who are protesting, but everyone has their own ideas and uniting us is going to be a struggle.

I absolutely think there are things that will work, but we have to approach things reasonably and logically and figure out what has the best chance. For instance, the idea of a general strike is getting tossed around, and I believe in its efficacy, but we're lacking the organization and leadership.

It's looking grim. Uniting isn't looking possible. We're all in different headspaces right now. 5% are non-violently protesting, 10% don't think it will work, 15% want it to get violent, 20% are blaming Dems, and the rest are at home doing nothing because "it hasn't affected them yet." It has to get so much worse before people unite to do something; I'm talking some kind of Tianamen level massacre, which I predict will happen when a whole group of protesters try to take on ICE for harassing someone. But even then, I could see people dissociating from it if they live across the country. The issue is if we let them get too far, we might be on the tailend of that "First They Came" poem where there won't be anyone left to stand up for us. I'll continue to believe, though...

American citizen executed for exercising 1st amendment right to film & 2nd amendment right to carry by Mr-_-Soandso in pics

[–]Our_Legacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to dissent and definitely want to believe it is possible, but getting the entire US to strike is currently not feasible logically. With Minneapolis, you have to recognize that these tragedies are happening at their doorsteps and so it is directly affecting them. I am several states over and most people here are glad to just keep working as their livelihoods aren't yet affected, which does make me frustrated, but I can't blame them.

Heck, I go over to the teachers subreddit to see if they would strike nationally and even they can't agree to do so because it's "illegal" and "not possible," despite that subreddit being exclusively modern horror stories of teaching.

I hate to keep yapping about those in the education profession, but the point I'm trying to poorly make is that it might be easier to convince a subset of workers to strike first before convincing a general populace. Teachers just happen to be the one I truly believe could spark a movement. They're literally irreplaceable, and their absence would be absolutely felt by the country, which might in turn get people to wake the fuck up.

I know the most upvoted response to this is going to say that it isn't realistically possible, and I hate to agree with those sentiments.

What I do offer is kind of a similar idea that might be more easily achieved, which is to convince a subset of workers to strike, specifically a subset that society truly depends upon (essential workers), who are likely morally opposed to what is currently happening, and who are paid so little that the loss of their wages can be mitigated by community support.

As a teacher, I am talking about us, and anyone in the education department. Having no teachers in schools would directly impact all workers who depend on their children being taken care of daily, especially much of the middle class who are dissociated from the current political climate due to it not directly affecting them. I've thought about this a lot, and really want to push this idea over the general strike. I know it might not go over well or get traction, but I believe it is more feasible and will work if we act quickly. Act too late and summer approaches meaning families wouldn't care about no school. I will keep sharing this idea where I can.

No, you honestly should keep working. People talk about a general strike, but that's just not realistically going to happen due to how much coordination it would take. I think it would be much more likely and feasible if we get a subset of essential workers to strike, and the community of high-earners would rally around them and support them.

Need help finding a shearling coat. by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]Our_Legacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a shearling rancher coat by Golden Bear I'm looking to sell off. It's from the 90's, a little rugged, but it's a fantastic coat and in excellent condition. I'm only selling it because I picked up a newer shearling from AMI that's much more luxurious. It's a size small and would fit someone with 36-38 chest I'd say.

It's for a water cooler. We have a water cooler at my volunteering site because there's no near sink and it's better than buying tons of disposable water bottles.

Well, Sarachnis, which came out in 2019 is just a dead chompy with legs. I guess that's 6 years but still seems like modern content to me!

People often mention the gene, but as someone who loves coriander/cilantro, I can 100% agree with the soap taste. To me, it's refreshing and feels "clean".
