(and, all those heroes propped up as if to save you... see who's behind them...? still got the #placatium working? Or you need a bigger fix? Scratched the surface of those pills to see they're blue after all? It's good finding out how you've been duped.

... And to think I used to be one of those duping people. ... One of the ruiners of all things good. ... I was Just doing my job.

To elaborate further, the search we were previously using on Sharkey, which leverages psql's tsvector feature, is a Sharkey only feature. It never got upstreamed to Misskey.

The default search blows chunks. It's the definition of useless. The query times out when you do a simple note search and it'd endlessly run if I took off the query timeout setting.

If everybody that wanted to start "an ecovillage/retreat center" would just grow food, hold abusers accountable for their actions, and be kind to their neighbors, including kids, animals and old people, they wouldn't have to keep thinking their "novel" idea will never come to pass. 🙄
Idk what they think is going to magically happen when they finally "have" this "retreat center". Now. Now is your now. Also: learn how to cooperate. Learn that you are *ONE* person and so is everybody else. What do YOU bring to the community table? How is YOUR ecovillage/retreat center not already where you hang your hat? Why do people always want to "start" one, but rarely ever "join" an already established one? #community #ecovillage #solarpunk #dreams #grow #farm #EarthCare #PeopleCare #FairShare

I have been reminded this week that even tho it's very inviting to burn it all to the ground and start fresh, it really is "easier" and wiser to modify what doesn't work, than to start with nothing and build from scratch. Evolving systems might not be pretty or perfect, but they ARE evolving, if you don't keep burning it to the ground. #community

Young San Franciscans aren’t drinking at bars. They’re at the library – DrWeb's Domain

I checked in on someone I haven't seen in almost 10 years. At the time we met, he was kinda lefty and was just starting this gig doing work in evictions. He kept the same gig this whole time and he's racist as fuck now. So he got to telling me all types of horror stories of black and jeet tennants, child neglect, animal neglect, battered women, blood stains. Absolutely nightmarish subject matter. The worst was a case of animal neglect where the nigger left his dog tied up on the balcony for over a week, no food, no water. The dog tried to escape, hung itself and was just left there to rot until his team could come in and clean out the place.

It is basically summed up like this. Some baby momma or deadbeat will go out there, crash out in traffic or at their job or in a store, get arrested, can't pay their bills because they live paycheck to paycheck. He's going in to where the criminal lived at the end of the month to witness how these niggers lived.

You don't even know how bad things are out there.

'IT'S A TRAP' US Panics Over Russian BREAKTHROUGH, Begs for Ceasefire to Save Kiev –Mark Sleboda odysee.com/08-14-25-Mark-Slebo…

This is a new one for me.

spectator.co.uk/article/my-ang…

You may think anti-vaxers like me are annoying enough. But please give me credit for never being so barmy as to become an anti-dishwasherer.

The anti-dishwasherers are way worse than the anti-vaxers for a whole host of reasons. So far they seem to be flying under the radar of the authorities, and no one in a position of power has taken them on to expose their nonsensical rhetoric.

The idea is that dishwashers are behind the current rise in neurological disorders. This is so ludicrous that I am starting to have rows with the guests who come to stay with us and who refuse to put their dishes in the dishwasher for health reasons.

A reminder here that arbitration always favours the abuser -- which, in the case of a corporate/individual dispute, is almost invariably the corporation.

Background: Air Canada decided to skirt labour laws by saying that flight attendants aren't on the clock until the plane leaves the runway. This, combined with the fact that the contractual pay did not keep up with inflation, has led to a strike against the company, well-known for being abusive and dismissive towards employees and customers alike.

12 hours after the strike began, the Liberal government, known well for sucking off Air Canada's fuel line, declared that forced arbitration would need to be done.

The union saw that arbitration would, by its nature, favour Air Canada and fuck over their members, and said, 'No.' So good on them.

To those who've had their flights cancelled by Air Canada, remember that they legally have to reimburse you for a flight on another airline unless you accept another option, so don't accept a refund when the replacement might be more expensive.

It's funny and very revealing how we now use the word "government". In a democracy, the power *literally* belongs to the people. *The people are the government*. What we call "government" is just government *representatives*.

So the flight attendants and their union saying "No" – that's the government speaking. Representatives can go f*** off if they fail to represent.

For the same reason it's absolutely ridiculous when government representatives say "you must stop your strike now". Go f*** off, we people are the power, don't forget that.

(And I'm looking also at you, EU representatives @EUCouncil )

re: TF2 doompill posting
almost every single one of TF2's issues would be resolved reverting the game to a state before meet your match. Don't forget that MYM killed every single gamemode that isn't payload, dustbowl, or 2fort. We'd also get those awful weapon revamps removed. If only the playerbase could be reverted to pre-reddit :bocchi_dead:

Author Sarah Schulman’s "The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity" combines reflections on historical movements, figures, and texts to present a timely discussion on how to act in solidarity, a pressing question amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Like when arteries have restricted blood flow, the artery can balloon dangerously with a system risking accumulation, billionaires are system dangerous accumulations of financing, needed elsewhere, risking death to the system, just like a brain aneurysm. It's a killer.
