Rotate the nozzle 180° so the angle is steeper, then wiggle

I’m consistently in the middle of many, many books. I use dollar bills so I get a reward for actually finishing.

Same. The redneck stuff would be more concerning if I didn’t know how to fix redneck stuff.

More like a studio apartment with a separate space with a separate bed.

Yeah, it’s a van. It’s cheap and it’s on the beach. Some people are into that. The reviews are great, the people who went for it knew what they were getting and were happy with what they got. It’s a fun novelty for the kind of person who’s into it, I’m not sure why people are upset about it.

There’s still the loft, which has the sole function of having a bed.

What else would you call a closed space with a deliberate, designed space for a bed?

What’s infuriating about this? Maybe I’m biased because I’ve seriously considered van life before, but a couple nights in a camper on the beach seems like a fun novelty trip.

Newton’s Second Law

No, not really. That carries an incredible amount of personal risk. As bad as things are, they’re nowhere near get-shot-in-the-street-by-the-military-fighting-for-liberty bad yet.

let’s figure out what to do

Once again, focus on rhetoric. The people want a compelling narrative. All the policy in the world means nothing if the people aren’t buying. The people are dumb, they want entertaining stories. Give them what they want, instead of convincing them they should want something else.

Books. Physical ones.

Your understanding of my point is incorrect. I am under no such illusion. Your interest in “ending the machine” lacks praxis to accomplish that goal. My interest is in Democratic strategy only insofar that it is a stopgap solution to that very same goal. I have no interest in equivocating liberals and fascists. Certainly, the one begets the other, in the same way a tiger cub will become an adult tiger, but I am more confident in our ability to overcome a cub than an adult tiger.

I seek Democratic victory only insofar that I do not see a mature threat to the establishment, and I seek an establishment party which is easier to subvert in the meantime, while meaningful praxis matures. Slow descent into fascism is preferable to accelerated descent into fascism, because I do not believe that accelerationism is in the interest of the people. The risk of enduring fascism is too high.

He isn’t anti-establishment though, except that he’s more concerned with self aggrandizement than practical policy. Democrats are establishment that occasionally align with voter needs, Trump is 100% aligned with his own needs, which occasionally defy the establishment when there’s a conflict with his interests.

Again, this comes down to messaging, i.e. rhetoric. Not in content, but in vibes. The Democrats need to pay more attention to vibes, rhetoric, than content. You’re just repeating what I said with different words.

Which is generally true, but he also won the popular vote. That’s an indication that being awful is less important to most voters than being entertaining. The lesson I see here is Dems need to focus more on engaging rhetoric than silly trivialities like “competence” and “beneficial policy”

Better yet, spread horrid disinformation about your elected officials on social media.

Force yourself to get up early the going to bed early part will take care of itself.

Maybe for you, for me I get exhausted in the middle of the day, and when night rolls around I get a second wind that lasts until the wee hours anyway.

I’ve got a nickel

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind when my current case fails

9 Fold also. The case I have had the same basic design as the Poetic Spartan, and the hinge feels like it’s going to break sooner or later
