Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I’m stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.

Still heals HP. Definitely a health soup.

My health potions are red, also, pulp free is not an option. >:)

I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you.

I mean, I had no faith to begin with that you would do anything but sit back. That’s why my advice was to get active instead of talk.

Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen

I’m used to reading, “go f*** yourself.” but this may be the first time I have read “go f*** myself.” Grabbed this for you to help you watch 🪞 (* >ω<)

I hope you eventually find joy by not obsessing over other people. Lead, don’t dictate. (-ε- )

Nah. Guy moderates three places here (at least on that account). At least posting and commenting on Lemmy can make him part of useage statistics. I’ll take the growth and laugh at the absurdidty.

Actually, I’m glad they responded. I’m getting a huge kick out of the poorly done trolling attempt.

Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won’t celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That’s the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.

That is, assuming you aren’t a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.

Really appreciate it. I’ve been telling myself I need to start adding to the emails of my reps, and used this list as the reason to start.

They are being shot at. Injuries requiring hospitalization with a chance for permanent disability isn’t “performative.” I can hope but can not trust enough people remain in the police and national guard who are willing to prevent escalation.

As to civil war, I lived in a place where multiple people were hopeful for civil war to start and another place where my high school teacher joked on Facebook about open season on liberals and needing bodybags. I feel a need to prepare for the scum around me, since several are already impersonating ICE officers or killing people.

Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it’s a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.

My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.

I wish there was an actionable alternative.

I’m willing to be one counterexample in the sea. I am absolutely benefiting from both past American imperialism and the current sales of arms that keeps allowing more atrocities. I used to feel guilt about it, but that didn’t solve anything; neither did staying silent. If all the other loud, noisy, opinionated people in my country can’t keep their mouths shut, I view it as a minor responsibility to at least make them use critical thinking (if possible). I’m saving your comment to show people irl. Hope you stay safe.

They got a little lost

Ayyy. Was hoping someone would get the layup.

Got it. Like Rattatouie Rat said, “change is nature, dad.”

Pssst I think they were referring to Canada as well as Central and South America.

Ty for the response. Glad to see another actually doing groundwork. Love all three bulletpoints, though it is really dejecting so many states have banned the use of ranked choice voting. Been advocating for that system for over a decade, myself.

Edit: oh, forgot to mention that it’s easy for the internet to assign blame to those that protested voting the last election cycle, but that’s only because they view people that voted FOR Trump as a lost cause already. I’m not willing to stop having serious conversations with those people, and more personal outreach would be my only bulletpoint to add.

Pride bricks are in season rn. 🏳️‍🌈

Hey, I don’t want to assume; did you involve yourself in the last primary elections for the democratic party frontrunners? I don’t have respect for people who protest voting AND don’t even participate in primaries.
