Before anyone decides to reply to this person’s comment or reads it and thinks they’re being legitimate, read their replies to me.

They’re arguing in bad faith to undermine any protests and don’t care at all about whether someone is poor or not.

Well at least you’ve done exposed your own ugliness.

I literally just addressed that. I’d suspect you of being a bot at this point but then you wouldn’t have grammar mistakes.

How the fuck did you conclude that when not reading something that’s nearly the same length as your initial comment?

I take that back, you don’t have good intentions, don’t care about the poor clearly, and are just trying to sabotage people’s organizing efforts while discussing in complete bad faith.

Who was saying the blackout was for a month???

And if in extreme poverty, you don’t eat much meat, it’s mostly eggs (years ago when they were cheap). Fresh meat was always an “it’s on sale because it’s expiring today” event that you’d buy as much as you can and then piece out to freeze for later while eating a bit that same day. Most of the time it was cheap canned meats you’d have coupons for ideally of you wanted meat, and you wouldn’t eat the whole can at once.

Water??? Really?

I mean, maybe you had a good intention, but you clearly have no idea what poverty is like. When you’re that poor you don’t buy water, you get what’s on tap - even if it smells strongly of bleach.

I literally sometimes was going a day without food, or on 400 calories or less. I’d lay with a pillow or a hard object under my stomach to calm the hunger pain. I’d drink a lot of water at once to feel full. I’d walk miles on my free days (when I had the energy) to the local forest to forage (mostly got nopales to make with eggs).

Bulk is cheaper overall. If you can’t buy the bulk unit, you can’t buy, well, anything, because paychecks aren’t daily (other than when working for tips, but you can save for specific bulk items then, and being a waiter can have food perks), and bulk items will last you longer than a day. Rice and beans last longer than a day, and a large bag of both of extremely cheap and can last you 5 days easily if you eat once a day.

You’re literally telling someone who was in extreme poverty how to survive extreme poverty.

I know, I’m just saying when poor you specifically don’t shop daily, because that also means more trips to the store, which is more trips to the store, which is more time and fuel. It’s easier to weather a boycott if poor than privileged as the original content I replied to mentioned.

This in the USA though.

I’m Finland, near daily trips can be cheaper, if shopping for sales, because you can usually walk to a market. But frozen vegetables are still usually cheapest for vegetable options. Canned items here are expensive. Bulk is still cheaper here too.

It was 1 day tho?..

And bulk foods are significantly cheaper than non-bulk. So ate preserved foods / long lasting over fresh. I’d get bulk beans, canned spinach, canned mandarins, spam, bulk noodles, sack of potatoes, etc, so the argument doesn’t make sense there either. If I did get something fresh, usually it was fresh meat on sale that I could immediately cook or freeze if I could afford to buy extra for later.

I mean, I’ve been very poor. Not buying is the easy part when you’re poor - buying stuff is the hard part, so not sure what your point is on this one.

The rules to remember when this is happening but before it gets that bad:

1. remember your own advice
2. have you tried turning it off and on again?
3. have you explained the issue to the ducky?
4. have you eaten?

Rule 1 is the hardest tho

What’s ironic about the LLM stuff too is that they are usually developed in Linux, not Windows, and when you do get one working, it works a bit faster. The issue, like most things Linux, is there’s no good GUI options on Linux, because the same people working on it in Linux seem to assume you don’t need one because you use Linux.

As long as this remains the norm, adoption will be slow.

Don’t know much about this, but some experts have this to say on Pitbulls: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/pets/are-pit-bulls-dangerous-experts-set-the-record-straight-on-these-lovable-dogs/ar-AA1nG7F5

Out of curiosity, I tried looking up info on the attack/fatality rate of pitbulls outside of the USA (assuming Pitbulls are dangerous because the culture of the USA views them as such and this they are raised to be) but couldn’t find much.

The only one I found quickly was that they gave a high incidence of attacks in Japan as well, but the owners tend to be Yakuza or other gang members, so yeaaahhh…

So was the one I replied to

Your Spotify Wrapped becomes Baby Shark

Or you can just play your music. Babies and kids still like regular music. That’s what existed before the hyper commercialized crap came into existence. Kids just listened to what their parents listened too, and as they grew older would start seeking out new stuff.

guitar or mountain bike or whatever gets ebayed to make room for a nursery,

Are you confusing a guitar with a whole band? They don’t take up a whole room last I checked. You can just, you know, move the guitar.

And I don’t know why you’re storing your mountain bike inside in a room but if you can’t find somewhere else to place a muddy bike than indoors I’m a bedroom, then yeah, I think it’s safe to say you can’t afford a kid at the moment.

travel plans become fiction

You can still travel with a baby. Should you? Well, not on planes. But after a year, you can leave them with a relative / trusted person.

Someone who has issues these badly with kids like you tho shouldn’t have kids, so we do agree on that however.

Or agave syrup apparently

This isn’t unsweetened tea either. It’s probably very sweet considering how high in the order agave syrup is

… Are you happy at least?..

Elizabeth Eckford had the protection of the federal government (this is it you ignore that she got PTSD so bag from the experience she attempted suicide btw).

Today’s federal government on the other hand is on the side of the people yelling:

You ever hear about the Black Panthers? You know why they were so successful California and the FBI had to intervene to try to disband them? Here’s a hint:

And you know why they were armed? Here’s another hint to how non-armed black protestors were usually dealt with in history (sfw example):

An unarmed protest is a defenseless one with no deterrent for the aggressors. And if you’re protesting against literal Nazis, it’s not going to be peaceful. Even during Trump’s first term people were kidnapped, and he’s way more unhinged this time.

Trump’s people would probably be more likely to shoot you if unarmed, than if the crown was armed.

It’s been shown multiple times (and through history) the the opposing force is less likely to shoot the protestors if the protesters can shoot back, because now there’s also an actual danger to them.

If people don’t go armed, I’m worried what could happen.
