I’m not sure why the thread title was changed or if I can fix it but I really don’t think adjusting covers it; it’s about functional mask wearing in general.
Fitting to the nose is important to the mask function of keeping air out (as a bonus it helps glasses not get fogged)
Not touching...
I’m probably quite late learning this but I’ve been telling people because a relative who is a physician just told me and a lot of my coworkers didn’t know either: definitely wear a (well-fit to nose) mask, but definitely raise and lower it, when you have to, by the strings NOT the front part...
I got a job at a (small, pretty safe) grocery store and I’m starting to get to know some people around here that are about some cool organizing and not just shitty college kids. I have definitely experienced an increase of random interpersonal kindness and connection. The growing fascination...
Calm down man I’m not planning a revolution - you don’t actually know what I think-, and ok ok we all know he’s a DEMOCRATIC socialist. Pick on my grammar too why don’t ya. His policies would directly improve the conditions of poor people. Biden not really besides which, again...come the f on...
Oh
Oh come on. Don’t pretend it’s about ‘Bernie bro twitter’ lmao. That’s messenger-shooting worthy of the prez. The party establishment and its wealthy donors would rather have tr*mp than a socialist. Simple as that. The fact that you can’t think of a single specific positive thing to say...
Only half of the delegates have been assigned. Bernie could totally catch up. Things are different than they were a month ago and there’s no reason to buy into the narrative of inevitability. And Biden can’t beat 45 in a million years. Today he came out of a week of hiding to mumble through a...
No I’m not saying that. I don’t even know quite what that means. There is a lot of good information available online and I was summarizing it. The issue is not that it has a staggeringly high death rate but that it is still bad enough and spreading fast enough that a lot of people will need...
I have to contradict you. Chinese researchers found much more airborne virus in patients bathrooms leading them to conclude that the virus enters and passes the digestive tract.
Yep, it’s a literal catastrophe. One of the few upsides may be that squatting gets way easier. Homeless people have occupied a bunch of houses in LA. Govts May start putting ppl up in hotels which are all empty now
The virus is probably airborne so people should really not be riding in a car together unless they live together or are partners or something. I know it sounds insane but that’s where we’re at. Modernity is blowing up in all our faces and the planet is turning into a giant Petri dish. It doesn’t...
I want to point out a few things that EVEN the youths should be concerned about:
Some young people are immunocompromised or have other conditions like asthma, diabetes or others they may not even know about especially in countries like the u.s. where health care is not great.
People who can...
Sierra?

I was wrong that he had the bundle and bike at the same time. That makes no sense. When I met him he just had the bike and a courier bag. Later it was a bindle when he’d went mad old timey. He was such a sweet and funny...
Lmao where did I say anything remotely positive about slavery? Seriously I know I wrote a lot but where? Either read all the way through or don’t go spitting out straw man arguments based on your own misconceptions. What I said was you’re talking about a very complicated book that is thousands...
He’s converted his whole campaign/fundraising operation into a pandemic relief effort. That right there shows he’s the real deal imo. Biden hasn’t been seen in days and is probably dying.
Or to just throw a quick related point out there, the idea that you can look at the Bible almost anything that’s in it and say ‘this definitely means X’ is itself more the viewpoint of a fundamentalist than an informed critic - someone who appreciates how it’s a collection of texts that were...
No it’s definitely very normal and cool to talk about the advantages of breeding people like racehorses. You know, because it ‘works’. I don’t really get the fish fry part though. But I did go back and skim the thread and I wanted to address the binding of Isaac, which you brought up, in a way I...
Anyone see that thing recently where Dawkins tweeted “I’m not saying we *should* do eugenics, but if we *did* it would totally work “? Good stuff...cool guy.
I’m not going to read this whole thread so sorry if this has been said but I think I can get the flavor from reading this page and I...
I don’t see why people shouldn’t be able to vent here? Especially a forum like this, sex and relationships are very feelings-y. I’m sorry you got yelled at immediately. You sound upset and a little lost and I can relate. If you’re bored by posts like this, don’t read em...tbh I had the same kind...
What kind of information are you looking for? I would say figure out your research parameters and then come back and I’m sure you will find people happy to talk about themselves! It’s a cool idea, I’d love it if you could post it here when finished
Check out the Wet’suwet’en solidarity rail blockade happening in Edmonton!
I think you’re right that starting with your “ism” is not necessarily the way to go... find out where cool shit is happening and get together with the people doing it
They probably would have roamed the area terrorizing and beating up queer people (and people of color, homeless people etc etc) as has happened in the vicinity of other fascist rallies. They aren’t like left wing peacenik activists who literally just want to perform, as you said, for an “audience.”
Used to have an old coaster brake cruiser and locked it up overnight to a thick metal railing with a little pocket u lock. The town had tweakers but the bike wasn’t worth much and looked it (I had even spray painted the frame a very dingy boring color). Anyway I guess I came home a little too...
The only thing that I find really important about him- about any of them- is that he has always used his position to stimulate grassroots organizing. “Not me, us.” Never mind that he also has the most consistent record of fighting for the little people on policy, but it’s not just about policy...
Sorry that wasn’t a proper tribute post. Just a little shocked, both to be reminded of him, and in this way. I don’t remember him super well as it was about 15 years ago in a boozy haze. But he was a sweetheart and a true free spirit, I know I remember that much and that we rode a few trains...
@Coywolf omg I have wanted a bouzouki for years, I love rebetiko. Where did you get it? I’ve never been able to find an affordable used one.( I might just have to go to Greece!)
I’m based out of SW FL with family this winter. Trying to scare up a good road bike to explore the surrounding counties with or maybe grab a train to Tampa?? Maybe a seasonal job...anywhere good to busk? Definitely most of these crackers seem square as hell...been telling people “this is...
There are some really good camp spots not far from downtown but idk if it’s too cold now. Likewise busking on the plaza or at the coop, need to buy a permit from the cops for plaza though...some other good spots around downtown which is pretty small so it’s easy to figure out. Loved that town...
It’s interesting that he’s both farthest left and maybe the most electable. But if he gets the nomination the right will respond with unheard of levels of red-baiting and anti-semitism, and if he gets elected there will almost definitely be a coup. (IMO)
I feel you George. It can be tough to balance between learning to pick better company and working on some of the things about yourself that can lead to these kind of problems. It can go in some super fucking unfair ways though and it can have consequences that last years or are irreversible...
That’s pretty fucking hyperbolic dude, no one is “telling you how to act in every single detail of every situation,” much less an all-powerful state with power to imprison and torture ypu. Y’all, the state is putting migrants in literal concentration camps. They don’t care anymore than you do...
That’s a good question and I think the answer is yes/kinda. I’m a white male coded person who stretched my ears a long time ago and didn’t know anything about the cultural background of stretched piercings at the time aside from it was something I saw people with at hardcore shows. So I don’t...
I’m not really into politics but im sympathetic.. and mainly just curious about any radical, counter culture etc stuff and activities in the region cause im going to be there soon
Hey I’m going to be not too far from there, maybe I can go! Sounds like a good busking opportunity; this thing is actually a pretty big deal. The Florida state fair is in Tampa a week or two later too
