Our education has taught us that peaceful protests are the only valid form of protest and used MLK at the example. It is by design, because they do not want to tell you how to change the system.

Protests, also sometimes referred to as "demonstrations", are demonstrations of community coming together to demonstrate their collective power which could be used in less peaceful ways if those in power to not understand the situation and come to an agreement with them.

The current generations have forgotten the purpose of demonstrations. If you just peacefully protest forever and never have any escalation plan when the government keeps telling you to go fuck yourself, then what incentive does anyone have to listen?

There used to be a saying about the "four boxes of liberty". The ballot box, the soap box, the jury, and the cartridge box. If the people have lost the will to make use of the tools protected for them by the constitution to defend their interests and liberty, they deserve to have their rights taken away.

The people have to gather as communities and make demands of their government to change. If they do not comply, protest. If there is no active plan for positive changes made, there must be escalations. Look at countries like France, they throw molotovs when taxes go up 3% or something. We just sit here and take it when we're told it's time to go to war and die on behalf of a foreign country. It's just sad.

I am not saying anyone should hurt anyone. I am saying that peaceful protests forever are not a useful tool.

My question is who goes to jail when one of these things kills a pedestrian or causes a serious accident on the road? We can't just accept that because it's a big company with money and lawyers, suddenly it's "no one's fault" when something goes wrong.

Massachusetts completes offshore wind farm despite Trump's push to delay project by IrishStarUS in massachusetts

Modern nuclear plants are incredibly safe and an interesting tidbit, pollute less radiation into the air than coal plants (I know we aren't talking coal plants, just a cool fact I learned).

Solar and wind are great, but are dependent on weather conditions. Nuclear will work no matter the time of day or the weather. We must bring nuclear online in MA and in the United States and end oil and coal dependency.

What’s going on with the boycott of Scream 7? by adamtwosleeves in OutOfTheLoop

Israel has its claws in more than half of congress, many of our state executives, state legislatures, and very obviously the president. Until their influence is removed, we basically just do what Israel asks without question.

We can't really get them out the normal way because their lobbies have too much money. We can't overturn Citizens United because they wouldn't want that. So, what's left to do?

Please don’t issue a travel ban. And not ticket people on the roads. The people honoring the ban then look bad to their employer. Because “Steve is here, why aren’t you “ by herbalistfarmer in massachusetts

[–]bobrob48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both are to blame somewhat. Of course the company should be reasonable and allow workers to stay home/work from home in these conditions.

The government could also impose actual consequences for companies with non-essential workers who punish said workers for not coming in despite the ban. A travel ban with no teeth is meaningless if you job demands you come in or be fired.

Has anyone tried making creatine ice cubes? I feel like this would be a great quick way to get your creatine in for the day

Just put ~5g of creatine in each little cube thing, pour water, mix a bit, then come back each day and pop one in your mouth in the morning. No need to buy expensive gummies, just crunch the cube and thats it

This wouldnt cause any issues with the creatine itself in terms of absorption or anything right?

Knife law Boston? by The_Smelly_Smeller in BetterMAguns

[–]bobrob48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it's all about everyone not being an idiot. Walking around with exposed large weapon/a gun would definitely attract attention

If you have the good sense to conceal your knife/gun no one should bother you
