Apologies for the AMP link. I can't figure out a convenient way to get a native link that includes the full article.

I'm not saying that talent, preference, or experience aren't real or that people won't naturally focus their efforts on certain activities. I'm saying that people shouldn't have to effectively blackmailed into certain activities, whether they align with their preferences or not. I like being a mechanical engineer. I do not like that I have to do it for forty plus hours a week, 49 weeks out of the year. Getting rid of occupations means that I would not be penalized if I decided to cut back on engineering and devote some real time to things that actually matter to me, my family, and my neighbors.

A tenuous argument could be made that Israel and the US are the same country. Is that what you are getting at?

For most people, having an occupation means giving up roughly half of your waking hours, as well as a toll on your body and mind, to the minority class that happens to own the things needed to do this occupation in exchange for wages. These wages are required to buy the necessities for the rest of your life from this same minority class. Getting rid of occupations means ending this relationship so that we no longer have to support the exorbitant lifestyles and cruel whims of this minority class. It means putting us in control of the value we create with our labor and not wasting it on the likes of telemarketing, car dealing, or denying health insurance claims.

Yeah, but who cares about the camel? How are you going to move all this straw now?

I wonder which country will be next to carry out a nuclear strike, Russia or Israel.

All of them. Abolish occupations.

Good building.

I wonder if Netanyahu's position is tenuous enough that assassinations of key political allies might lead to his outster and arrest, and then to overall destabilization. Maybe they're just too well protected or too numerous.

We have a big trash day once a month in my town and I always keep an eye out for something good. Recently I picked up a nice, sturdy, homemade cart with big casters in good condition.

The Emperor's psychic beacon, of course.

Lol whoops. I'm leaving it.

The father of Colt Gray, the teen suspect in the Apalachee High School shooting, appeared in a Georgia courtroom Friday to face multiple charges stemming from this week's deadly attack.

Colin Gray, 54, is being charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Thursday when the agency announced his arrest. The 14-year-old shooting suspect has been charged with four counts of felony murder.

GBI Director Chris Hosey said at a news conference Thursday night that the charges against Colin Gray stem from "knowingly allowing his son to possess a weapon."

Mystery connector?

I added some washer fluid to my car and noticed, for the first time in 17 years, that there's an unused connector near the top front of my engine compartment next to the battery box intake. Is it supposed to be unused? Am I missing something? I have no error lights except for the air bag, but that's because the spring ring or whatever it's called in the steering wheel wore out. The car is a 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback.

Three men in a little boat.

Ran the New Haven Road Race today with my wife and we both did well, almost two minutes faster than last year. Did any other Fediverse people partake?

How do I get a split-flap display like these to work with Pixelfed?
