A revolution doesn't have to mean a sort of military coup, what we would have to attack is their sources of capital, the flow of wealth flowing upward. Something like general strikes and mass unionization to put control of capital back into the hands of the working class.

Sure, but you could say the exact same thing about bees. The point of the article is that most people see 'wasps' as being all bad, without the nuance that is afforded to bees.

High pressure sodium bulbs put out orange yellow light that has a low CRI, so anything they illuminate looks orangey yellow

I don't think you should feel ashamed at all, from your description I feel like we're very similar lol

I've also been trying to be less cautious and more open, and the way I've been doing it is to be weird in front of people. Not maliciously, but I want people to have a funny story to tell their friends, and I'm less worried about feeling embarrassed in front of strangers because I'm never gonna see them again. I'm not interested in weed or alcohol at all, and this has been working so far.

Don't be discouraged, I like the way I am, I bet I'd like the way you are too, so I hope this helps

I kinda figure that the pole isn't secure in the ground, like whoever installed it did it poorly and not deep enough into the ground. When you back up into it, it begins to tip over until you have the top under the car. When you try going forward, it rights itself. I've seen something similar with different kinds of poles and when they are upright, they look completely fine.

I figure that if you backed up with enough force to drive up the pole, the bumper would be more damaged.

I guess, but wasn't the point of bumble to turn that on it's head? Like, traditionally, the guy on a dating site is supposed to come up with a semi-witty first text in order to not be buried. Bumble set itself apart by having the lady message first to avoid that, right? What happened?

I've never heard the phrase 'glass can' before, only 'jar'; is it common where you are from?

They're saying that people who are buying these sorts of vehicles on Craigslist would pay so much more money for such a simple addition. It's kind of like how people in the early 2000's would add a rear wing to their car and call it a sports car; if you add a snorkel, it's now a off-road vehicle and worth much more in those peoples eyes.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised but shit, man.

Why is this guy being downvoted? Is there an implication of Folgers endorsing Trump? Is it implied that his liking Folgers is because of their Trump endorsement?

I'm genuinely asking, I'm hella out of the loop

 

I found a radio from 2003 that was missing a power cord, and I first thought it needed a polarized C7 power cord, but it won't fit at all. Looking at it more closely, it looks like a polarized C2 connector, but it's also locking? I tried searching online but I couldn't find anything for the C1/C2 connectors that's polarized, not even considering the locking aspect. Is this something anyone is familiar with? It's not a high end or particularly old radio or anything.

Here is a link to a picture, I wasn't able to upload it to lemmy directly.
