That's what I intended with sewing distrust. It certainly looks like market manipulation to me as well though.

The trade war appears to be about market manipulation. And sewing distrust of America. By repeatedly flip flopping they can buy and sell and make a killing in the markets. His wealthy allies are in on it and won't care at all.

This is what he was elected to do and it won't hurt him at all with the people who matter.

It's pretty alarming as a citizen of the US as well. But our conservatives are upset over the signal leak and indifferent to the invasion of Greenland, so if we let trump distract is with the signal leak you lose.

He's 100% serious and also using it as a distraction. Both things are true. For some reason everyone cares about the signal leak and only about half of us care about invading Greenland, or rendering immigrants to a slave prison.

Signal is a weakness and Greenland is an attempt at distraction. He fully intends to invade, but distraction is why he's talking about it right now.

I don't think you're wrong that we should let people do what they want but it's definitely troubling that so many people want pre pubescent hairlessness in their partner. Maybe we should do away with whatever is causing that

Do you have reason to think that? Organizations that use mainframes keep them up-to-date in my experience.

I can probably give every month, but I can't have it auto-debited. I'd love a monthly post like this, reminding us that it's not free.

It's not. The cities didn't vote for this.

My Republican controlled county is moving services away from the Democratic cities into rural Republican areas. This makes them slightly easier to access for Republicans and much much harder for Democrats. These aren't theoretical concerns, it's an ongoing attack that Americans are trying to manage.

I've known people that worked under the table for cash. People that sublet apartments or that rented a room from someone with an extra. These people don't need IDs to function. I'm guessing they had ids but not all of them drove, so I don't even know.

In order to have a life that looks like mine you need ID. I don't see how people without ID do it. I don't they're being deliberately obtuse. Life is hard enough and most of us have a hard time understanding how different other people's lives can be.

They can in many places and should everywhere

Subscribing to mastodon (self.fediverse)
 

Given the different way they apps are structured I don't even know if it's a sensible question, but is there a way to subscribe to something on a Madison server?

The server as a community, or a tag as a community? Does mastodon have some other concept that I could subscribe to?

import down? (self.bookwyrm)
submitted 2 weeks ago by pohart to c/[email protected]
 

I'd like to migrate to bookwyrm, but after I created my account I saw that imports from goodreads agent working right now. How long has it been down? Is it likely to get fixed soon?

I was skeptical of gatherers ergonomics based on the jep, but this devoxx talk really makes them seem more approachable.
