It’s from the 30s, actually.

Implies waking up to the systemic violence and oppression and beginning to do something about it.

Then it began being used as a bad thing because people were understanding systemic harm and those in power did not like it.

Overuse the word, make it mean nothing, remove its power, push the people back into oppression.

I could do so much with free gravel, you have no idea.

Outstanding article! Gosh, I love reading this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Of note, the second expansion, Stormblood, is now included in the free trial as well.

I got tired of windows feeling like my only option. I knew there were alternatives out there so I went searching.

Mint and Kubuntu are both super easy to install and use and I’m glad to help my friends with installing a new OS whenever they ask.

To be able to see a person’s perspective when they tell me a story. Kinda like The Echo from FFXIV, but without the headache.

“The revolution will not be televised”

It’s a phrase I hear a lot in leftist spaces. Effectively, you have to be aware that publicizing these things is a great way to get them shut down.

The work is being done locally, and quietly. Advertising these events in public spaces like this one will very likely lead to them not getting off the ground due to infiltration or oppression

If a computer is a car, then Linux(the Kernal) is the chassis. Mint (the distro) is the motor, and Cinnamon (the desktop environment) is the fancy interior.

KDE plasma is a fancy interior that works with tons of different motors.

Cinnamon is designed for mint and works best with it.

DISCLAIMER: All of this is analogy and isn’t technically correct in a pedantic sense, but it works well enough for me. I’m sorry if my analogy isn’t exactly accurate.

Goddamn it… A Splatoon adventure game is the exact type of shit to finally make me want the new system.

I ain’t buying that shit at full price tho! You can’t make me!!!

Sapphic, perhaps.

Buy local, in cash.

Every card transaction benefits the big credit card companies, all of which are complicit. Local businesses are some of the ones hit hardest from all of this and will need your support.

Avoid chains owned by local folks, too. Those big chains still benefit even if it’s your neighbor that owns the local McDonalds.

Support things the government is trying to destroy, like your local library, and your local stores that sell LGBT positive merchandise.

Make friends with your neighbors. Grow things in your yard that they need and trade for stuff you need. Many folks that seem in agreement with all of this really aren’t if you know them. We are stronger together.

In regards to home gardens, Not everyone needs everything, but everyone needs something. If you can get chickens or some kind of egg laying fowl, then that’s a possibility as well. Guineas are fighters and do well in areas without a lot of brush or low trees.

Bike as much as you can. Avoid gas as much as you can. Ride the bus or a train. Don’t fly anywhere. Install solar panels if you are able. Capture rain water and use it for your garden.

Buy used as much as possible, especially clothes.

Replace your single use materials in your home with reusable ones. Rags instead of paper towels, glass containers instead of plastic ones, metal straws, and a water pick instead of floss.

Make things. Anything. Don’t monetize your hobbies, share them instead. Trade homemade goods and art for other stuff.

Avoid the dollar as much as possible, and use cash when you can’t.

Mint cuz I’m a newbie and it was recommended.

I tried KDE Neon Plasma a while too and it was doing a weird stuttery jitter thing with the mouse that I didn’t like so I switched back.

Mint just hasn’t had any huge frustrating problems or anything wrong with it that I couldn’t fix in the settings menu. Just how I like it.

This feels like a top notch streamer game!

Gen:Lock season 1 happens, lol

FFXIV because I’m trans and I think it’s a requirement at that point.

There are many leftists and minorities that have “voted strategically” time and time and time again only for things to get worse and worse.

This kind of disenfranchisement leads to apathy and low turnout.

We are told from a young age that our vote matters, and then when we are older we are told you can only vote for red fascist or blue fascist and many choose not to participate.

There are more who did not vote than who voted for Trump. This is not what the majority wants, but with the system as it is, it is not possible for the majority to voice what they actually genuinely want and have a chance to get it.

The votes do not have to be rigged at the ballot box for voting as a whole system to be rigged.

I’d love to see Chrono Trigger get the 2D-3D octopath-style remake that a few old SNES games have gotten.
