  • For real holy shit. For the same reason it's important to have journalists in war zones, this needs documented so people can see what's happening. We absolutely can not let fascists be the source of truth for what's happening out there.

    Plus idk about this situation, but at least when I was in Seattle SPD would immediate behave somewhat better when I would start obviously filming them harassing someone.

  • Bitburner

    It's a programming idle/incremental game. Has a bit of a learning curve (not bad if you already know how to code) but it is my favorite programming game. It scratches so many itches and it really invites players to explore. There are even secret achievements you can only get by messing with the source code and rebuilding it!

  • I did, I had been for years, and y'know what all I have to show for it is I'm more likely than ever to get killed in the streets for being trans. Fuck that I'm aging and can't be fighting forever; what good would another dead trans be. I've fucked off to Europe and once I stabilize here I'll help others do the same. The US can burn I didn't choose to be born there and I've never considered it my home

  • One of my favorite campaigns I was a tempest cleric dwarf in a sea campaign. She came from a clan of dwarves that would take longboats along river coasts downstream from a mother clan's mountain mining to find pockets of washed down minerals. It was so fun and eventually she started her own seafaring clan the Sundersalt. We were based on an island but controlled a lot of trade in the area with ships modeled after Korean turtle ships

  • I was under the impression I needed a personnummer for the bank account? It's worth a shot with my passport at least; being able to transfer funds here would save me so much headache and fear of the USD collapsing. Might make that my quest when I wake up find a bank nearby

  • I should fucking hope so lol. Doesn't matter to me anymore though I switched to Arch btw

  • It has not been easy and I can't deny my privilege, if we're to be honest. I've moved on a student residency permit which requires me to prove I can financially survive the entire time. I've saved enough from working in tech to (probably) pay for the full 30 months tuition and living expenses.

    I sold, donated, and trashed everything I owned except what could fit in a backpack and two suitcases. I've left my family, friends, partners, and a well paying job. I'm alone and scared and I've never been more stressed in my life. I can't speak or read Swedish well at all and it makes everything more complicated and I get embarrassed about it.

    The legal process was in the works for nearly a year making sure I was lining everything up correctly. It could have been done much faster but I was also in the middle of recovering from a major surgery and going through a divorce.

    Now that I'm here I had to get biometrics done to get issued an official residency permit card, I took that and a bunch of other stuff to apply for a personnummer and ID card. It took a couple weeks to get the permit and the ID card will be over a month. Then I can take that card and get a Bank ID. Without a personnummer or Bank ID I basically only exist as a ghost. I can't get a bank account, be on a real phone plan, get proper medical, hell I can't even sign up for a grocery store membership. I don't know how I'm going to pay rent because they want me to wire the money, my bank only does international wires over the phone, and my prepaid phone plan can't do international calls.

    I'm in a bureaucratic nightmare for an indefinite amount of time while I watch my savings evaporate. So far it's worth it though. I feel safe here, the people are kind, I can see myself one day feeling at home in a way I never saw while I lived in the US.

  • 2.8 million minus one; I managed to get my trans ass out of there before it was too late for me. I'm fucked off to Sweden now

  • Fuck me I'm almost out of here then I'm getting a foreign bank and transferring everything. At least if Sweden's money tanks I can tank with my neighbors instead of watching the USD and my life savings evaporate disproportionately to where I'll be living

  • Hell I was racing to get my own vaccines because who knows what they're going to be pulling

  • I was trying to tell you last night but not even the storm could wake you sorry fam

  • What the actual fuck is wrong with this world

  • House size and media consumption are going to be big factors here I think. You get four people trying to stream, game, listen to music, whatever it is people these days use phones for, etc; it's going to really add up. Sure lots of people barely use the internet and are getting sold way more than they need but it's not uncommon anymore for multiple hd things to be simultaneously happening in one house

  • I feel like you're missing a core part of the joke. It is not just illegal immigrants getting deported so this reads more to me like "you can't target everyone without broad consequences" and uses food as an example for comedic effect.

  • A couple days ago I went to my neighborhood USPS. When I asked for packing peanuts the person said "I don't know what that is so probably not". Then pointed me to their packing supplies shelf which had a couple rolls of tape and some bubble wrap. I live in Seattle and it's already this bad. Any more budget cuts and it would be easier for me to backpack cross country deliver it myself

    Edit: I don't understand why I'm being down voted? I've always tried to use USPS I prefer them over privatized shipping. I'm just trying to say that it's already depressingly under funded and it's hurting this much in the city I can't imagine how much it's hurting people in the country. It's about to buckle already and it's going to be toast if it sees another budget cut. I wish we could have nice things

  • I'm surprised it took so many meeting

  • Hell yeah this is incredible! You've been such a consistent part of Lemmy, I put you up there with Picard maneuver for staple community members. If you do stream I'd love to watch :3
