But that’s precisely why you start out with actions that put your movement in the spotlight, like going on protests or similar forms of agitation.
Not going to the store for a day is hardly going to make anyone care (as it’s literally based on absence rather than presence), especially the shops who this type of boycott is supposed to harm. People still need food, basic necessities and tools and can’t live without them, so this would result in people buying more some other day to compensate.
But what’s the objective here? Not buying stuff and boycotting for one day usually means you’ll buy more in preparation before the boycott, or buy more after the boycott to make up for the deficit.
My european mind can’t comprehend making tea without an electric kettle, something that is very rarely used in the US
Replace with something else - back when I was actually addicted to soda, I realized how expensive it all was and replaced it with drinking tea.
Of course, might not be viable if you’re an american.
As others have said, tiny market, but also that it often requires more development for the Linux port to get going, and even more development to actually make it run well. Like for instance, Civilization series usually release with Linux and Mac ports, but those are done by a third-party company and sucks regardless.
Not like it’s a bad thing necessarily, the vast majority of native Linux ports I’ve tried were either severely out of date, had significant performance issues, crashed a lot or had some quirks that would make it not worth playing anyway. It’s probably just easier if developers focused on proton compatibility instead.
That’s how you know they’ll never get elected
I had issues with keeping a stable sleep schedule for years, but now I found a method that works for me: every day, set your alarm clock to the same time no matter what (in your case 5 AM) even on weekends. Then, try going to sleep so you always get full 8 hours, if you fuck up and go to sleep too late then tough shit - you’ll feel tired tomorrow which will serve as a punishment that your brain will hopefully recognize.
They key is to be consistent and not sleep in.
As sad as this is gonna sound, I don’t think it’s time for change, at least not yet. It’s only been 15 days, there are no organized country-wide movements with a clear game plan on how to liberate the country, a lot of people still don’t truly grasp the severity of what’s happening or just straight up cheering, and there are still a lot of questions related to these things hanging in the air.
If there was somehow an alternate reality where all of the people who oppose Trump magically got unified and organized, how many of them would stay safely at home watching from the sidelines instead of taking up arms and risking it all to topple an oppressive regime? If the regime gets toppled, what happens afterwards? Do Democrats (who are also being infiltrated by the Oligarchs) get put back into power again who would likely not have a mindset change? Maybe Liberal Democracies just aren’t strong enough to prevent this and, if so, what’s the alternative? How would it work and how would it be achieved?
The only things that realistically can be done for now are protests to spread awareness/oppose the regime, helping those who need it the most (the ones being persecuted like trans and immigrants), and just biting the time, thinking about solutions and hoping that more people are going to get the wake up call, be it from living conditions becoming worse. getting influenced by protests or just seeing the horror that current US administration is doing.
As the other commenter puts it, the post is just preaching to the choir so I figured I’d leave another perspective here, even if people here disagree I hope it at least inspires some thought. If it’s considered gatekeeping or too negative, feel free to remove.
Exactly - if it’s not a forever game, then why play it?
The head of state sharing power and responsibility with powerful unelected individual(s)? Where have I heard this before?

Speaking of stolen elections, I get that this isn’t exactly evidence but this kind of a slip-up, intentional or otherwise is just weird if the election was truly 100% fair.
TLDW with relevant quote: “and he (Musk) knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide it was pretty good”
It’s just a sad state of affairs. Digital video games are 1’s and 0’s that you can copy for basically free (with the only cost being hard drive space which is dirt cheap), so preservation shouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, we live in a world where logic sometimes has to take the backseat in order to maintain the current ideology, and video game preservation is one of those sacrifices.
For as much as they ask what a woman is to “own the overcomplicated transgender ideology”, it’s so funny that they seemingly don’t know either
A somewhat political fact, but one that made some of my friends dumbfounded:
When a bank issues a loan, it generates that money literally out of thin air and credits that money to the loan account rather than using deposits they already had. For example, if you want to borrow $100,000, the banker approves the loan and doesn’t hand over cash or move existing money around - instead, they just go on their system and credit your account with the sum, that’s it.
I’ll get a bit conspiratorial here, but if what Bernie has said is to be trusted in his video about oligarchy, up on his youtube channel, then Democrats are largely owned/influenced by billionaires who would benefit from the increased Trump support. It would make sense to do this, but yeah it could also just be a blunder, given how Trump was the first one to propose the ban and Democrats could take it as “hey if we do this, we’ll win the moderate right support again!!”, though who knows.
This would be nice to hear if Linux versions of Civ games weren’t always complete garbage
Paying a tribute to the feudal lord
Waking up at the same time every day, no matter if it’s a weekend or a weekday and no matter if you stayed up too late and won’t be getting full 8 hours of sleep.
As obvious as this might sound, this has really helped me to regulate my sleep schedule, something I’ve really been struggling with for pretty much my entire life.
Recently went back to OSRS after getting recommended a video essay about how Runescape is good that included a rant about capitalism ruining the enjoyment of labor and capitalism. It was funny enough to make me go back
