Subjectively, I commented on how calm and pleasant a couple of my social medias had been before reading the news about 14 hours after the strike.

Holy invalidating methodological weaknesses that journal has a low credibility score.

Also, the paper is incomprehensibly written, but after digging through the sources, the dataset is 35 self selected (through internet peer recruitment) college aged men (of which 31 were heteosexual).

As the study is qualitative, it’s no use criticising the findings too badly. It shouldn’t be hard to find 31 chronically online men on a forum/discord/comm somewhere who share these ideas.

It would be interesting to compare this to a more average population though.

The way I understand the deal is that it’s no great concession to release some diesel reserves over a winter with high diesel prices.

But it’s disconcerting that it’s done at the behest and benefit of US internal politics to cover for shitty US international politics.

When the US reneges on any long term deal, I sure hope the EU got their worth in a short term deal.

A subsequent government could quite reasonably decide that rebuilding a stable, mutually beneficial trading relationship with Canada is in the US interest.

They could, but at any time another president can tear that agreement up and start another trade war. That’s the whole issue — the US can no longer be trusted to adhere to agreements beyond 2/4 years.

If you can’t trust a treaty to hold over time/presidents, each fair deal must be immediately transactional.

The Trump deal was already worse than the previous one, a new one will need be even worse.

Cthulhu fhthagn?

Just goes to show how much the FIFA peace prize is worth!

Lol, you know this is an example of abuser language?

It’s entirely reasonable to expect someone to hold themselves accountable to sort their own shit (and/or ask for help) while respecting the people around them.

Toddlers get away with having tantrums because they aren’t matured yet. We expect better from about the age of 7…

Delayed due to ICE and/or protests, or maybe they’re out trying to drum up a bribe inb4 being sued by the satsuma in charge.

General strike, demonstrations where they can’t be ignored, organised resistance, organised campaigning, even striking in solidarity with others.

Oh. You’re all struggling too much to be able to do that?

That’s you being oppressed, and you could organise against that: you could organise war chests for striking, unionise to regain rights, vote or campaign for actual peoples representation rather than corporate such, build resilient communities, picket biased media, organise or join collective action, prosecute and pressure corrupt politicians, counter lobbies, educating yourself and others, etc.

Gather neighbours, save funds, support eachother, resist where you can and coordinate with others to have a greater impact.

But most aren’t going to, cus there’s always someone else to blame, someone else that should save the day. And while you’re passing blame, the fascists consolidate, divide and terrorise, both your domestic neighbours and international friends. Leaving you more vulnerable, more isolated, and with less and less support to resist or survive.

I do hope you really learnt this lesson, as you have nothing until a customer finds the promise of your solution worthwhile enough to pay for it.

And even then, you still might not have a viable business. You’ll still have to figure out how to keep getting enough people paying to fund the next/replacement product.

From my own experience: stay as a side hustle as long as you can, but not so long that it keeps you from scaling.

Keeping it as a side hustle eases money worries, pushes forward a lot of the business woes, and actually forces you to be very effective with your time.

When you eventually do go full time, you will need to build up discipline and systems to get up to 60 % production capacity, a lot of time is swallowed by admin, sales, invoicing, marketing, support, etc. And it needs to be done if the business is to scale.

I’d also urge you to consider pacing yourself, working 60+ hours/week is doable for a period of time, but the admin don’t stop coming when you’re tired, overwhelmed and/or burnt out, and no-one will be able to save your business then.

That’s not actually how those things go together… how…? Ah, lemmy.ml, explains it
