I was at a trans 'festival' (rather small but very, very cool) and changing your gender after you had already changed it once or twice or however many times came up. And it was just, presented as the most normal thing in the world. And I really appreciated that. Yes, if you're happy with changing gender once, good for you! Wanna do it again? Hell yeah, good for you! Gender anarchism is great. Just do whatever, y'all. And you too, Darth Vader.

The wise one has spoken true

Irritant ja. Maar wel, elk station dat je vervangt met busvervoer voegt extra chauffeurs, bussen en dus kosten met zich mee. Een reguliere dienstverlening zoals een trein die gewoon rijdt is dan denk ik op de korte termijn goedkoper. Zeker als ze vrijwel altijd moeite hebben om de roosters voor deze vervangende busdiensten rond te krijgen. Weet dat laatste uit ervaring. Ik stond een tijd lang bij die bussen voor service en reisadvies, met zo'n hesje en alles. Hoe minder bussen en afstand, hoe goedkoper en makkelijker rond te krijgen.

Appreciate it, thanks. Let's hope it hurts them like hell.

I would ask the lord above what the fuck he was thinking when the Holocaust happened tbh

Booking[.]com supports the genocide on Palestinians, the illegal seizure of Palestinian land and the erasure of Palestinian lives, and the Apartheid system that enables all of this. They still offer rooms and services on illegally occupied Palestinian land. They support Israeli aggression.

They're also big sponsors of Amsterdam Pride and other Pride events. I'm queer myself but I will not enjoy a Pride event that is drenched in Palestinian blood. Fuck that.

They're also known for aggressive Union Busting, extreme work conditions, workplace abuse and sexual abuse in the workplace.

Great company. May we warm ourselves by its burning corpse one day.

I see Lemmy is still doing this MTG image rehabilitation. Fucking hell.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the lawsuit about?

The UK, more than happy to support a brutal, corrupt dictatorship

Yea so, the US uses UK bases for attacks on Iran and the UK is still doing recon flights over Gaza for Israel. Really think they're not also 'helping with Iran'? They're 'helping against the Houthis'.

Boop their snoot ofc

:3

Oh they cracked the code, took over as hosts for a long time, took all keys and routed all traffic through their own servers for months before rolling up the entire operation and arrestings dozens of people who used it for criminal acts like drug trafficking.

You are describing Encrochat OS and authorities already cracked that.

I think things like voter suppression, access to information also weigh a lot heavier than some might think.

I'm also kind of wondering how they came up with this number of 11 million, if people are not politically motivated and activated but are still politically conscious enough to have priorities, there are systemic issues keeping them from voting. And especially at these large numbers, simply saying 'well they should vote' and being angry about them supposedly not voting won't change a damn thing.

We don't need to yell at people. We need to fucking strategize.

100%. The candidates need to inspire someone to vote as well and most of the goons they have been trotting out recently are more of the same. Just corporate dems looking to cash in.

Protest has always been the peaceful option. And governments somehow think it ends at the peaceful option.

Welp.

They do! Often.

Sounds like pretty fun work though! And yeah, chemical burns, I worked dish for 7 years and I worked with all kinds of horrible degreasers. The ones where, if you got hot water in it, you'd immediately choke up lol.

I mean, still did it, but yea I get what you mean lol. I was pretty blasé about a lot of things but that stuff, it struck fear in my heart.

Off a cliff
