Well in MN we need to be cautious of spiders generally because our climate between spring and fall is conducive to venomous spiders of all kinds, both native and invasive. Natively we have black widows, northern widows, brown recluses, wolf spiders, jumping spiders, woodlouse spiders, and many more. Climate change is expected to increase the range of black widows in our state, one of the most venomous spiders in the US. We’re going to experience severe dry and wet seasons, so I expect imports and exports through the great lakes see a massive increase in dnr presence. I hope Walz follows through after our elections.

All you phonies bound to lose. Fascists get fucked, the LGBT+ community isn’t going anywhere.

That’s the real crime. Leaders can be old. Workers should never be forced to be old.

Are you saying that because you understand what I’m saying and disagree, or because you haven’t grasped the nuance in my statement?

My head canon is that it’s a power play since Homer is a union steward

I’ll bring some stuff for margaritas

This article covers it well, including the fact that specific battery chemistries are trade secrets.

Sennheiser has a few wireless cans in that category for ~$400

For battery tech nerds like me, the battery is a more efficient lithium-iron battery, called Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate or lmfp. It has a theoretical energy density of 525Wh/L, compared to normal lithium-iron theoretical density of 325Wh/L

I’m old school, I stick to calling them boss, capitalist, and bourgeoisie

If she’s sick of people thinking MN is crazy, she should get out of the public eye. People like her, lindell, and Jensen are why people think our state is crazy.

I didn’t say presidents always condemn good things either. Most things, good and bad, don’t make it to the national level in the first place. I’m not saying Biden wouldn’t condemn a racist rally. I’m saying presidents as a political position, not any individual, rarely condemn anything that is regressive or reactionary. To my knowledge, not even Obama condemned the racist bullshit directed at him after winning. People were hanging racist effigies from trees.

Where the hell did you get that from? I’m asking for examples of any president condemning a Nazi protest. I can’t think of any time that’s occurred.

Which nazi protests were condemned by a president? Which wbc protests? Which NAMBLA protests?

It’s a slogan, not a factual statement. I’d be interested to hear about other protests condemned for being a truly bad cause. The only one that comes to mind is the insurrection. The Charlottesville rally saw only the antifascist counterprotestors get condemned.

If you’re asking about that bit of snark at the end about coerced labor, I can try to explain it.

I consider there to be 3 loose types of labor: forced, coerced, and controlled. Forced labor is what it sounds like: incarcerated labor, slavery, etc controlled through violence and defined by the bosses total control over their labor and often their life. Coerced labor shares a bit of overlap with forced labor, but it’s primarily defined through modern capitalist work in which workers must perform waged labor due to economic pressure.

Controlled labor would be the free association to work where the worker wished and contribute at their own pace. I consider the picturesque version of controlled labor to be a unionized worker cooperative in which all management is elected within a socialist economy. Work is still directed by management, but it’s free of coercion due to the lack of economic pressure that would require a person to be forced to work.

There will still be coercion through other means within such a socialist society, and it will still be just as evil as economic coercion. But we should strive to eliminate it wherever possible. That’s why I believe even the co-op would need a union, to establish protections against such coercion.

I was unable to come up with more than 1 example in the last 10 years, so it feels like a pretty safe slogan.

I mean sure that’s definitely an angle to the situations, but they were imprisoned for vastly different reasons. Or at least every reason that could make this a meme.

So you’re telling me that because he’s a generally terrible guy, it’s ok that he’s been a political prisoner for leaking the footage Chelsea Manning passed to him?

He had a short lived political show featuring interviews from people across the political spectrum. In 2012. There is no relevance here.
