It’s The Everglades Concentration Camp.

We should not call this what they want us to call it. Do Not Comply. Resist and speak the truth!

I hope we on Lemmy and elsewhere can start a trend of refusing to parrot their bullshit talking points and speak the Truth instead of spreading their propaganda for them.

I hate that the media and the public immediately parrots whatever 1984-speak terminology they roll out, letting them define the narrative and pacify people to accept their atrocities as normal.

(Likewise, it’s not the “big beautiful bill”, it’s the “Kill Americans to Pay Billionaires” bill. January 6 was not a “protest by patriots”, but an armed insurrection, etc. etc. etc.)

Isn’t that the time most people would think of testing it on themselves?

Yeah I use the hottest running water and also scrub it with soap to get as much as possible off.

I’ve also used a hair dryer to heat the bites up but you have to be careful not to hold it too close to the skin and burn yourself. I’m very reactive to bug bites and I seem to get a million bites within seconds of going outside.

I’m one of those who gave my bread maker away. The problem was when I was making bread with it, it was so good I’d quickly eat it all up and kept gaining weight, so I stopped using it.

I’ve tried (electrical tape) that but found it is gummy and leaves a sticky mess.

Ooh, good idea! I hate all those lights.

+1 for the Aeropress!

I’m an old lady but I also happen to use linux! You don’t have to be a tech neckbeard for that, just dislike Windows.

Murkowski accepted the bribe.

Yes but you see he complained about it first, so his constituents know he’s on their side, worthy of re-election. /s

(edit to add) I have to say, that’s an amazingly honest article for a major news corporation to publish. Excellent level of snark as well.

Was the U.S. space race a triumph of science — or a moral compromise rooted in Operation Paperclip?

“It looks like you’re trying to launch a spacecraft. Would you like help?”

When your muscles feel tight or tense, or a bit achy, you’ll automatically feel like stretching them.

I was wondering about that, too. The article says

Payments available for withholding include the federal taxes collected from the paychecks of state employees, as well as grant payments owed back to the federal government.

I have no idea how much that would add up to, and I wonder if the Feds would be able to go after individual employees for not having received the federal taxes they owe, leaving it to the employees to sue the State to reimburse them for the amount that was withheld.

The second one, grant payments owed back, would be a limited amount since the Feds would probably retaliate by cutting off future grant funding. Overall it doesn’t seem like a workable strategy.

I think out of all the freaks given positions in the regime, this asshole will do the most harm, kill the most people and cause the most suffering over the longest time span – and that’s saying a lot.

I think it’s ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

Rage, rage against the dying of the grift, ya pigs. Your days are numbered.

Good analogy.

I wouldn’t call it ‘hardcore’ not to use crap like that. I’ve never used Reddit, Twitter instagram or any of that (with one brief exception). Only the Fediverse. Made my mastodon account in 2018 and that’s all I used until I made this Lemmy account last year.

The exception was: back about 15 years or so ago, some people talked me into making a facebook account because they had a group on there. I reluctantly made the account and read their posts for a while but it was just stupid meaningless tripe, so I never posted anything on there and after a while I deleted the account. During that time it was apparently hijacked because I logged on and someone had made a completely weird profile on it. Don’t know how they did it but I changed the password and removed the stuff which seemed to work, that’s when I submitted the deletion request to FB though who knows what happened to it after that.

edit: I should add that I do use Youtube (mainly via Freetube but not always) and I do read reddit posts when I search for things and it comes up as a relevant result.

Wonder where that idea came from? Sounds like some oligarchs want to buy up some of that sweet, isolated BLM acreage to construct their own personal towns on and bring in servants and a personal army to live there and take care of them, safe from revolting peasants.

Unfortunately change requires repeated and/or sustained protests over time, so we’ll have to see. But this was a good sign that it may be possible. If we go to war with Iran, a whole new cohort will be added to the numbers.
