  • Not sure who is downvoting this. If you’re young, you may have never experienced this in your life. But this comment nailed it.

    I’ve reached an age where Im reminded of this constantly at all levels.

    • I’m here for the money or conservative principles, never intended to change anything, and didn’t sign up for this shit: Retiring to my Swiss chalet.

    This one is the most common from my perspective. A lot of cheery hopefuls run for politics for one or two very specific causes. Then after watching the slow machine of government move and it takes 9 months to even get traction on their cause, they check out mentally and are just staying for the money.

    In my town, while ICE is kidnapping people off the street, half of the local gov are silent because their political platform was to upgrade a park’s dog area, or provide snacks for libraries, not dealing with armed masked goons.

    For every AOC out there, there’s a thousand acting gov officials that quietly just want a paycheck and healthcare, and then causally run again unopposed.




  • Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!

    So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).

    I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.

    Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.

    Some other key details:

    Definitely don’t pour sugary drinks into a gas tank. Or leave drywall screws under the tires of vehicles.

    Because a group of masked guys leaving a vehicle unattended does not mean you can just go up to it and do anything bad to it.
