People ought to deny ICE service for a start. Anyone in their vicinity can contribute and nothing is too small.

If they want anything from you, it's your duty to make sure they can't have it.

If they order a sandwich, they should be told the sandwich maker is broken today. Every day. If they need a car repair, that part will take six months to arrive. When they pay for electricity, their payment was misplaced. Their garages should be blocked by parked cars. The garbage truck should accidentally drive past their property again this week. Etc.

Don't be an ICE collaborator.

The Swedish strike is still ongoing. The German protest against their factory is still ongoing. The cyber truck can never be approved for use on roads in all of Europe. Every fourth Tesla fails the first EU-inspection. The average for all cars is 3%, so it's exceptionally bad.

I don't think a boycott is even necessary. There are enough reasons not to buy a Tesla.

They forgot to mention that his wife and he separated in 2018, keeping it secret for years. It was revealed after his death.

Not that I think there's anything bad about being separated/divorced, but it'd be a lie to paint him as a family man.

I guess his criminal record for drunk driving also doesn't fit the narrative.

Fuckin space garbage is what it is.

Yes it was impressive that they landed a rocket again once, but the quantity of launches and satellites is doing nothing good for anyone. It should've been a stepping stone for better technology, but instead they're just mining money. Privately owned space engineering is a disgrace to humanity.

Space engineering used to unite even the worst opponents as with the international space station, but now those institutions are underfunded, while billionaire space-musk can shoot his loads into the atmosphere without any regard to the rest of the worlds population living inside said sphere.

Tax the asshole already.

The two richest people on earth whining about income distribution being unfair.

It's sickening how everything is suddenly "unconstitutional" since the supreme court turned republican.

It's silly how everything has to be according to a 200+ year old document, and how the interpretation of that document is arbitrarily changing at the whim of certain political influences.

The US labor board has existed for 100+ years, and now it's supposedly unconstitutional? Shut up.

Maybe he's right.

Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years. That's a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.

Green Day also didn't encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the "patriot" MAGA idiots.

It's a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.

It's a waste of time. People who bother installing Vanced are not likely to click a single god damn ad even if it's forced on them.

So yes, Google can choose to bother some people and get higher statistics on ad views, but the companies paying for the ad will not see one single fucking sale more. This lowers the value of the ad.

They're chasing imaginary revenue.

The value of exposure isn't real either. The phone might play it but I don't fucking watch something that I don't want to watch. I've been online since before online ads were a thing and not once have I bought anything from any online ads.

Just let me opt out of that circus for fuck sake.

Found at Brodega skateboards (Denmark)

I'm not affiliated, just found it funny.

A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.

(The 100kb limit on pictures is horrible.)

I am restoring an old chest and while removing a cover under the lid I found this label. As you can see, it's completely undecipherable except for "***halle & co." However there's another label underneath it. I wonder if I can separate them by putting it in water (like stamps off an envelope), but I'm afraid of destroying it if it has any value whatsoever.

The chest is made of wood and metal, but it's in a horrible state. Hinges and screws have been replaced prior to my owning, and the wood is damaged. I plan on restoring it, but would like to know it's history. Judging by materials and the label, I recon this is from 1900-1940s and American.

I'm trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.

The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.

Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can't see or set the .minecraft directory manually.

What to do?

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don't want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn't show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

blur - wembley (feddit.dk)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Now, I've been to many concerts and even several blur concerts, but this one felt .. special. Even better than the Hyde park concerts 10+ years ago. Anyone else there?

To me it was like watching their proudest achievement and also delivering on it. Maybe I'm just in awe of the brimfull Wembley stadium shouting along on Park Life, but it definitely felt like this was the final grand stadium concert. I've seen Aerosmith, Green Day, Guns'n'Roses and other larger bands on a full arenas before, but those didn't even come close to this. Despite everything being extremely professionally and on time, they managed to break the wall between the stage and the 90000 in audience.

I'm not even a blur fan as such, but I do acknowledge that their contribution to music is way way underappreciated, or maybe it actually isn't?

The warm-ups sucked, but I think those were a local thing, but the main band really came across brilliantly. I dunno..this was beyond just great, and I have no hopes of ever seeing anything this grand again.
