Triumph

I bought an old pachislo machine from a garage sale because … I’m not real sure, but I have one of those now.

There’s a reason I used the word “ideally”. While there are absolutely worse prison systems in the world, the US prison system cannot be described as “ideal”.

I mean … yeah. If it’s a thing you must have, then it should not be for profit. Staple foods definitely qualify.

To be perfectly clear, when I say “not for profit” I mean that the costs of plant and equipment, administration, materials, logistics, labor, etc. are all paid for out of revenue - and a small fixed percentage to go into a fund to ward against variations in revenue, so that the business and its employees can continue to provide the public good and earn a living even in lean times.

Necessary public services should not be for profit. Yes, I know that framing prisons as “necessary public services” is a bit weird, but ideally, that’s what it is.

… in the name of your religion or ethnicity, …

I wonder if they pay you if you support Palestine Inaction.

You’re not gonna believe this but … I fucking knew it. That is exactly the one that first came to mind, and I am ashamed that I didn’t just blurt it out before.

I’ve had a whole lot of different scotches and whiskies, and Balvenie is hands down the best. Dalwhinnie is another good one along those lines, if you’re looking to compare.

Whatever you think about Israel and Palestine, this is wrong. Erasing people in the name of your religion or ethnicity is wrong.

Britain? The place that makes recognizing Palestine a jailable offense?

You’re aware that Lemmy devs run lemmy.ml, where the tankies are, right?

Sounds quite similar to CB radio.

I thought it was a birth control pill box.

Itchy britchies

Which one? I must know.

Examples of simple, non-aggressive things that anyone can do:

• Get healthy. You will need physical stamina.
• Make a space in your home for short or long term guests. There will be refugees.
• Plant a garden. There will be shortages.
• Record, report, resist. Use your phone to record fascist activites. The linked site is one way to make sure those videos are publicly available.
• Build networks with neighbors and friends, online and off. We will need to support each other.
• Learn how to prepare rations, even if it’s just hard tack. Armies fight on their stomachs.

Extending that, it’s going to take a lot of people doing a lot of different things, from all angles, to ultimately succeed in quashing fascism again.

All efforts great and small.

Don’t the traditionally racist depictions of Jews also include large ears?

So that’s what bone hurting juice is. It’s hurting juice that comes from your bones.
