Counted them

Well if you have to have 28 of them...

It kicked off the protests in Tunisia that resulted in a radical restructuring of society, but the people of Tunisia were more empathetic to that action than Americans. So many people have absolutely dog shit takes about this act of protest, not the slightest amount of empathy for what would drive a person to this.

The post on the Atlanta subreddit about this was deleted if you need any further confirmation of that belief

I kept wondering if they believed that as well or was purely for the rubes. Like isn't the whole point of guerilla warfare that it's decentralized and somewhat grassroots via pockets of resistance fighters with varying degrees of coordination

Speculation it was deleted in part due to the laptop showing a picture of an IOF member which is blurred in the current one

So tired of "protests are useless" posting. There are good ways to make a critique of a movements but this is not it.

The past decade around the globe protest movements exploded into radical restructuring of various countries' way of governing. This particular protest doesn't seem like it will evolve into that, but no one ever predicted the outcome of past eruptions.

A protest isn't a reliable or advisable way to create a revolution, but they are still great organizing opportunities and solidarity building events.

Please stop with the nihilism

Tofu and lentils are so much cheaper than meat.

Diy'ing things too. If you ever need a new tool or household item or have to fix something you're almost certainly not the first, so searching up DIY _ or How to Fix _ will almost always pull up a handy guide. I've saved thousands at this point

Nah I think the people who constantly make the most barbaric decisions or excuse why they can't revert them are the ones being anti-democratic.

Wouldn't those with the power given to them by the population who then act against what those voters want be the anti-democratic ones?

I struggle to see how potential voters pointing out they never get what they ask for is the reason for any of our problems today.

Hey, uh, I think this thing is broken

Nah, it's working as intended, if you look back here both levers are pressing this button that says 'Barbarism'

I haven't explored LEDs too much, but have an education related to transistors. Because they are diodes, significant overvolting will degrade the diode itself and if it were to happen often enough could damage the junction to the point of no longer working. Fluctuating voltage could damage other parts of the device, but I'd guess overvolting is the bigger danger
