Fuckin hate it. Food is awful. I'd much rather photosynthesize. (may have an ED? for me it's not super severe though, I just really don't enjoy eating)

We Need a National Ban on White people invoking MLK jr name; Bernie SSanders call for nonviolence resistance like Dr King (they killed him)
I was fucking around with my dad's HAM radio setup and I think I picked up some audio of anti-Nintendo (?) terrorists (?) planning an attack tomorrow on their walkie talkies or something.
Whenever I've read about ham etiquette, they often specifically say not to say "over," and I haven't personally heard it very often, but it may be a more regional thing? I mostly listen to a weather repeater and sometimes do FT8 or SSTV, so I don't really hear enough to know how people usually do that, I suppose.
I would generally agree. I wish healthcare professionals responded to wellness checks instead. The first time I was hospitalized, though, I went to a school counselor and talked to them. I don't remember if it was a piglet (campus security) or the full grown thing that drove me to the ER, but it wasn't a doctor or therapist or anything. What I mean is a welfare check is usually doesn't have the same vibe as calling the police to catch or arrest or even scold somebody. But also it's totally fair not to want to call police on them at all; they have a bad track record with mentally ill folks.

Anti-genocide protestors interrupt Rep. Ritchie Torres at "WelcomeFest" - "largest public gathering of centrist Democrats"
Have they tried announcing establishing a student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities?
I don't know that AI will reach the same level of quality as workers unless it reaches the same level consciousness as humans or, at the very least, as non-human animals. At which point we need to start considering the rights of the AI, which will lead to the same workers' rights arguments except the Right will claim AI should have no rights because they already do that to living humans in the present.
Do communists need to re-think our approach to political education, given recent revelations on the actual literacy rate even in developed countries?
There is some precedent for this sort of thing. Being some in ham radio, I've worked with and learned about a few different emergency communications systems. And some that are unrelated to ham radio. An interesting project is I2P, but it mostly just piggy backs onto the main internet. Mesh networks are closer to your "our own internet" idea, but they would need to he fairly widespread to be effective. There's Meshtastic which is an existing mesh network using LoRa tech. Each channel has its own encryption key, and for peer to peer, comms are end-to-end encrypted. There are public channels (which just uses a null encryption key like AA== or something) but if you specify a key, only users subscribed to the same channel with the same key can use that channel. You could technically set up a TCP/IP network over Meshtastic, but it'd be ridiculously slow. But an upside is that there's already a lot of people and infrastructure using Meshtastic, so you already have a difficult part of building a mesh network done. Unfortunately to guarantee full coverage, you'd have to use an internet gateway to link distant users. There are other mesh networks, but most of the ones I know about use ham radio bands which, legally, need to be unencrypted. (at least in the US) And if you were to try to encrypt comes, nosey hams will be able to track you down and report you. And that's not a vague threat, a lot of hams are just chomping at the bit to track down violators.
Would Pac-Man be considered art? In its day it would have been a technological achievement, but was it created to be art or to extract money from players? If the latter, then that's its politics. If it was made with the intention of being art, then maybe it has to do with unlimited consumption? Not sure.
Isn't there footage and/or photographs of him getting arrested at protests in his younger years? Did he just live to see himself become a villain or maybe was he a stopped clock? It seemed like he used to better, even if he was just a lib. I guess years in a comfy politician's chair can change a man.
