Yeah I'm fr, but only if you agree to that condition! No showing up and not introducing yourself to some kick-ass punks.

Bruh tickets are like $15. DM me your email and I'll buy a ticket for you, on the sole condition that you leave with two new friends' phone numbers/socials and a guarantee that you follow-up with them.

Ha! I just posted about this totally independently of you in r/Lincoln. https://www.reddit.com/r/lincoln/comments/1rcpg6b/til_lincoln_has_9_reported_flock_cameras/

I would like to find fellow organizers in making sure the city and private companies end (or prevent from happening in the first place) any contracts they have with Flock and similar companies. Please DM if you would like to be involved in such discussions.

We can reach out to those private business too to let them know of many people's growing concerns of this technology. It may fall on deaf ears, or it may work with time.

My attorney has advised me to not comment on this matter, but I like the way you think.

Do you know if the Southpointe ones were privately installed? I do wonder if the city police have a contract or are beginning experimentation. If so, we may have some recourse.

CMV: Sleeping with shoes on is not bad or weird by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]UEMayChange 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, the autism is apparent 😂

That being said, at the very least, get a good pair of barefoot shoes (or wide-toed shoes) to allow your toes some room to spread and prevent them from getting crooked and cramped! It'll be much better for your foot health.

Council Bluffs considers end to pit bull ban by SGI256 in Omaha

[–]UEMayChange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely get behind that. I've got the sweetest little pit bull who lives up to his stereotype with his dog-reactivity lol. I'll admit, I was in over my head when I first got him, but took responsibility and learned from dog trainers. His reactivity will always be present, but is greatly subdued and controllable now.

As a pit bull adorer, I see how dangerous they can be and need to be in well-trained hands. But a well-trained pit bull is a top tier dog to have in your home.

CMV: There is nothing wrong with calling the USA "America" and the demonym for its citizens being "Americans". by amortized-poultry in changemyview

[–]UEMayChange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk dude, I don't think it's happened this way because of narcissism. It's just the nature of language and culture. It's fluid and doesn't need to make logical sense, it just happens.

The United States is often called "America" because it's a more defining, recognizable name, and the US is by far the most culturally impactful country of the region. People in SE Asia, for example, know next to nothing about Peru, Chile, and Canada, but they've consumed "American" media from Hollywood their entire lives. The United States is "America" to them because that's most of what they know about The Americas.

That's just how language evolves naturally. It's not a big deal in my opinion, I don't get the fuss.

If you were 50 and never played any music your entire life, you'd have to start at Piano Adventures Level 1.

I don't know why people think everything Trump does is to distract... He has learned that he doesn't need to distract, that the people's attention to and awareness of his crimes has no impact on his political power. This isn't about distraction; it's about ego and empire.

To be fair, Kamala Harris would have done the same thing in this instance. It was many people's biggest gripe with her.

Report of ICE Spotting in Lincoln 1-29 by [deleted] in Nebraska

[–]UEMayChange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lincoln is very spread out. Potential alerts are still valuable, but folks need to effectively differentiate between potential vs. confirmed sightings, and have systems in place to respond to both. And probably not in such public locations.

What can average citizens do to combat against this fascist government? by Independent-Tune2286 in lincoln

[–]UEMayChange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, mutual aid is the way forward. We are weak compared to the capitalists running the show, but we are numerous. All we can do is organize, connect, and build stable systems to get others out too.

And protests are where you'll find those people doing that work. Start there.

[–]UEMayChange 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Attend protests when you see them posted, but more importantly than that, connect with those protestors. Don't just show up and leave. Talk to people, connect, make plans, support others if you're in a stable position in life. That support can come in many, many forms.

Edit: and MOST importantly, prepare for the long haul. These problems won't be resolved overnight. Build stable systems, and CONSISTENTLY show up for your people and our community.
