“Ear me out”

Very true! The whole domain squatting thing is pretty bizarre to me.

The .org seems to require a log in. I wonder what entity has these domains. I imagine the folks working to manifest the fediverse don’t have the capacity to buy up all the possible domains.

This is frustrating to read. I used Duolingo over ten years ago, and was going to use it again to get back into some things, but now what? It seems that it is not what I remember it being. I only used it on a computer, and probably would now.

I am not sure about fashion, but I have found that repairing clothing is pretty cheap. Even if you pay a tailor to do so. Maybe patches can be fashionable but I just don’t want my toe to catch that little knee hole and create a problem.

I really like savory oatmeal, and I mostly do it with fish and fennel. Great meal any time of day.

Peanut butter mac is pretty good, too.

Another vote for the cheese and jam! Sweet and salty. I like it in a tortilla.

Ya, hopefully OP is in a safe place if need be.

Wow, that looks a lot like a China themed sign for a hotel/restaurant in my little town. The sign used to have a Great Horned Owl family living in it. I miss them.

Crunchy chicken gotta have it

I read the article, and I am also not really sure what the author was trying to accomplish. Right now (in the US at least) is not very similar to 2008 and I am unsure how many “lessons learned” for folks like myself would be useful.

I am unsure how to best do the pronouncing, but en Español: por favor (last part of favor is more pronounced) gracias (first part is more pronounced) In English: please thank you (pronounce more the part that makes sense for the situation)

What about you :)

You may have a local or regional org to help, and there are multiple national groups that cover a variety of bases. Legal funds, advocacy, news. Pick your passion.

Mug cloud?

This was in the USA, but a long time ago. The cops were going to get a warrant supposedly but I had rented from that person for some time, in different units, and I think they made a judgement call knowing that is was going to happen, and if they approved I wouldn’t have to follow up on the warrant. That particular landlord was actually really great. I’m not sure if they made the right decision but I didn’t have to go to court or anything, which I would have if a warrant to search was made.

I have an uncle who was an attorney who lives in Philadelphia and did a lot of work on tenant’s rights in the 70s, but this was in a different state and definitely didn’t have as great a situation. Maybe it is better now.

I worked in a high school for a number of years where my role was to manage things like after school programming, spring break trips, and certain things during the school day. We would also do weekend adventure trips when possible. At one point during this, I had an awful roommate who was into a lot of illicit substances.

During my time living with said roommate, I took students on a two night backpacking trip over the weekend. I came back to see that my room had been (from my perspective) ransacked. I could not reach my roommate, and decided that one of their drug buddies may have robbed me. Later that evening, roommate came back and I learned them and a friend got too wild, cops were called, and a search was performed on the entire apartment. Including my room. Nothing was found in my room, but I had a lot of putting away to do. At least I was not robbed, I guess.

My landlord called me the next day to tell me they were called by cops for consent because I was unreachable, and landlord knew I would have nothing to hide, but felt terrible and began immediate eviction on roommate.

I live in an area that was part of the sagebrush rebellion, I work in places that Claude Dallas did his thing, and it is very conservative here. I am also a federal land management employee. There is no push for this here. I notice my state isn’t named in the article, mostly higher population states, but I think that this movement will have difficulty getting traction with most right wing land users due to concerns about what it will cost them. Ranchers get a pretty good deal on public land, and it may be telling that mining and timber groups are no longer involved.

At any rate, this “coalition” is definitely something to keep watching. I used to live in New Mexico and there was, at that time, a ranching propaganda publication that really stoked fears about things that just didn’t exist. People are driven to decide on fear and we have to provide an answer to that.

Wait, so significant portions of the US population will need identification beyond a state-issued ID? If so I feel like this hasn’t been in the news or I’ve really missed a big headline.

Great post for [email protected] also!
