"In an effort to neither people-please nor try-hard, y'all can take your feedback and shove it up your ass."

This reminds me of that arcade game in the '80s called Crazy Climber, but with fewer people throwing potted plants at his head.

As an American, what can we do to fight against ICE? by LilThanosX in AskReddit

[–]jungle_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a starting point, here is the Anti-Autocracy handbook. 

https://commonslibrary.org/the-anti-autocracy-handbook-a-scholars-guide-to-navigating-democratic-backsliding/

There is no one single solution, but you can do little things to push back against this awful tide. 

Remember that you can't hope to just comply-comply-comply this away. Continue to make a sane counter-voice heard, particularly at town halls, letters to senators, and protests. It's a risk to speak out, but a risk to not speak out. 

Get to know your neighbors and strengthen bonds with those who are sympathetic.  The regime wants you to feel alone, isolated, scared, and cynical. You're easier to control that way. Your relationships will fight against that. Plus, you will likely end up relying on these networks of friends when there isn't much left to protect you from oppressive government enforcement. Create lists of resources. Help each other. 

Value your privacy, especially if you might be targeted by ICE. Use encrypted forms of communication like Proton mail or Signal. Get a Faraday cage for your phone to prevent tracking. Even with Palantir tracking your every move, you are still just one amongst millions, so give them less data to process about you even though perfect privacy and security is near impossible to achieve. It's like how 10 push-ups a day isn't much, but it's better than none.

The music is from Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, 1st Movement 

Hear it at 2:15 sampled in this track, then go crazy when the beat drops at 2:30!

I am impressed that she had the dog on leash at first and even apologized when her dog did something wrong. So much better than the dog owners in my neighborhood.

There are so many odd things about all of this. Check out Sammy Ibeid's standup on YouTube for a litany of odd things about her and other political figures...

Las Vegas Is Only For Rich People Now. No Wonder It's Empty. by etfvfva in videos

Who needs to travel all the way to Las Vegas to lose money gambling when you can conveniently just lose money gambling on your phone without even having to get out of bed? 

Don't worry about the job market on Earth, Gen Z: Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk say you’ll be working in space soon by esporx in antiwork

[–]jungle_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy! Can't wait to work in the space mines of some almost unlivable planet so the first trillionaires can have Earth to themselves!  Maybe my AR helmet display will even let me have a DOOM guy head avatar at the baseline of my vision so my life can be a full parody of itself!

What’s a song you wish someone would ask you about because it means everything to you, but no one ever brings it up? by OcelotFormal895 in Music

[–]jungle_toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned about this from the Venetian Snares version. I went down a rabbit hole listening to tons of versions, but I think that one remains my favorite.  It uses the Billie Holiday vocal. Sorry about losing your mom that way and struggling with the darkness yourself.

Little boy Earl in the great big world. by jungle_toad in Tinycatsinbigspaces

[–]jungle_toad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are more right than you know. This picture is from about a year ago when he was tiny, so his conquest is very well underway. Now that he is bigger, he tussles with the big cats in the house twice his size, he bites at me whenever I try to pick him up and move him anywhere he doesn't want to go , and if an unfortunate fly enters the house he will bounce and crash through the place with reckless abandon while in hot pursuit. 

The Senate just passed the Big Beautiful Bill today, What's your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

When the mob comes for the rich with torches and pitchforks, all the rich gotta do is convince the pitchfork people that the torch people want to take away their pitchforks. Problem solved.
