@bttk @pluralistic

It may be frowned upon, but I was taught to defend myself immediately and as hard as necessary to stop further harassment. I know this is privileged thinking on my part, being what I am, but I still believe in the principle overall when it's feasible.

I taught my little brother the same thing growing up, and witnessed it firsthand when someone tried to bully him. They never did it to him or anyone else again. I didn't need to protect him, and I was so proud of him.

I see it in my son already, too. Someone is trying to bully someone in a videogame on mic? My son doesn't even hesitate to defend them. I didn't even teach him that.

Anyways, I got off track here lol this isn't even about bullying, but I guess my principles stand. Capitalists want to bully? Fuck them up too and as hard as necessary to end their reign of terror.

Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

The U.S. is considering sending additional military advisers to the embassy in #Kyiv.

The advisers would help with the logistics of aid deliveries, and in-country weapon maintenance.

There is something a little too on the nose about an Orthodox rabbi using the language of the Romans ("caveat emptor") to explain why he's deferring entirely to the government, not making any effort to approach #COVID prevention from the perspective of Jewish law and act as a thought leader for his congregation.
I guess rabbinic authorities have never issued rulings related to healthcare, medicine, community safety, or communal obligations in the past, amirite?

if the government just implements UBI starting from tomorrow, without changing anything else, rents will creep up until the UBI amount becomes practically irrelevent, and the goals of UBI will fail. in the end it'll be another transfer of public money to landlords.

we need to implement UBI *and* establish universal housing and rent controls and tax the shit out of landlords. UBI isn't a magic wand that will solve the problems of late stage capitalism on its own.

Here's an esoteric piece of knowledge for you.

If your FUSE file system does `os.stat` on a directory while you're inside its `readdir`, your process will hang.
