Well the great thing about PinePhone is that if you break it you can always reformat and start fresh. If it were my phone I would trust the command it tells me to run, assuming you have a backup I guess.

Still waiting for Biden to revoke the Trump tax cuts for the rich …

Yeah I had to look at this at least 4 or 5 times before I understood it lol

That was my first thought too. I reckon maybe we have fewer death machine pickups, but nope, Ford F series and other chudmobiles also happen to be the top selling vehicles here too

I would hunch it may have something to do with a generally less aggressive population, more respect for speed limits, probably more reasonable speed limits overall, but I’m just spit-balling here because the USA fatality rate is almost three times higher. What the fuck? That is a massive difference.

I asked ChatGPT and it gave a little more context, but I’m not quite satisfied with that lacklustre explanation tbh.

My buddy and I used to keep several generations of roaches going at once. So once you have enough roaches, you roll all those into a joint to create a “second generation joint”. Then once you have enough 2nd generations you can make 3rd, and eventually 4th, and at that point those will just knock you on your ass

Yeah just some rolled up cardboard to keep the bits of weed from getting in your mouth, usually from the rolling paper package or a pack of darts (Canadian for “cigarettes”) or whatever

but no filter

smh my head

The rona is really making a comeback lately eh. Just in time for school to start back up

Respectfully, Capital is probably the absolute worst starting point for socialist theory.

Something like the Manifesto, The State and Revolution, or even Blackshirts and Reds would be much better starting points IMO

Not sure where you live but the Retail Action Network on Vancouver Island is probably what you are looking for.

Most likely you’re not on the Island, but if you reach out to them maybe they know of a similar group where you’re at that you can reach out to!

This is what is wrong with “free Tibet”

It’s a 20 min ish read, well worth it.

Yooooo sorry I just saw this post, should have commented sooner.

I have friends in Fightback, and was loosely involved and/or adjacent to them for about 16 years.

Check this thread for angry commentary about Fightback (so I don’t have to type it out again)

I could write a novella about all this but I’ll try to keep it brief.

There’s not a lot of options for left wing activism in Canada, honestly there are no perfect choices, maybe not even any good ones. Fightback is very alluring because they are exceedingly well organised and have a very clear vision. However, they are also:

• A glorified book club that sells a newspaper

• A cult

FightBack has excellent political analysis, easily among the best, but they tend to focus on recruiting young students and I don’t think they have much if any impact on actually improving conditions for workers (or anybody)
