Let me know if you manage to find a copy, all I could get is the Google books sample.
You wouldn’t have talked openly about Jews manipulating American government,

The past is a different place that even people who used to live there forget about.
And of course there's a loooooot about the gays. Half the rap we listened to as kids was about curbstomping faggots, in retrospect presumably by guys who were still a little sore from Diddy's parties
Come on man, you can't even get the average conservative normie boomer to be upset about his own son being murdered. When we stop hearing "I wish that my son was killed by a 60-year-old white man (instead of a black illegal)", I'll agree that the right has decided to stop crippling itself with one-sided social norms. Until then they're just punching bags for the left to torture for fun and profit.
What a joke
Good for getting lots of people through bottlenecks though. "Everyone commuting to downtown across the same bridge" is a pretty common situation in American cities, and one transit can solve well.
Of course, using congestion pricing just means that all the lawyer software devs working downtown pay the fee just like they all pay to park in the same downtown highrise parking lot. While a guy trying to get across the bridge to his McJob on the city outskirts can't afford it and has to spend 4 hours taking three transfers on the shit bus with all the hobos.
When there's so much economic surplus in jobs downtown (and thus inelastic demand for bridge crossing), congestion pricing doesn't do shit except harvest money for more graft. Which is probably why it's so popular for city governments.
The smart solution would be to find the densest destination zones and target them directly. Get 80 lawyers on a corporate bus because they're all going to the same building, and don't charge Poorfag McMcJob to use the bridge.
Even the lawyers probably end up happier because they were only paying hundreds of dollars a day for downtown parking as a negative-sum status competition, which congestion pricing only exacerbates.
Plus now you have a really funny joke setup if the lawyer bus ever goes off the bridge.

"If your self-hosting tutorial brought you to this..."
That's not actually a solution either. Putting bullets in people is downstream from doing politics. The left understands that better than the right, which is why the left keeps getting away with boiling the frog while the right polishes their gun collection muttering "one of these days, for sure..."
I mean, obviously any real solution to this involves eliminating a lot of evildoers, but that's literally the last step of the solution, not the first. The conservative frog in the pot uselessly fantasizing about killing the cook is just as doomed as the liberal one croaking "fact-checkers deboonk claims without evidence that the pot is starting to boil!"
This is just playing defense and trying to ignore all the evidence. What's the purpose of kids' night at a sex toy shop? What's the meaning of "little girls are kinky too"? Why is all "kink" pushed relentlessly at the same time as actual sex is demonized (especially normal heterosexual sex)?
You're doing that typical thing where you tell people to ignore the academics and activists over there, because a majority of leftists don't agree with them (yet). Until recently normie leftists didn't agree that "the idea that there are two distinct opposite sexes is a 19th century colonialist invention," and yet they got on board with it instantly, ignoring any cognitive dissonance that they'd previously spent years spouting "umm actually sex is distinct from gender."
And already in every case where "kink with kids" comes up, leftists have wound up on the pro-kink side with those activists. Why do normie leftists take more issue with a 25yo dating a 22yo than with schools telling 3rd graders to Google leather daddies? Because one is "queer, kinky, and disrupts heteronormativity," while the other is yucky and straight.
Supporting "queer kink with kids" is just the other side of the coin of "problematizing" heterosexual relationships out of existence. The more normal sexuality can be suppressed, the easier all that energy can be sublimated into party-approved "queer culture."

"good trouble." The phrase was a mantra in 2020.

Not just a random commie blog either. Their latest issue has the director of the Irish modern art museum
I keep stressing this, but leftist vanguardism works, and nobody seems interested in making it stop working.
Yes, an opt-out liter just cedes the territory to the attackers, and you know they won't honour it the second they get the power. That's why my response was ignoring the sophistry at court and asking "how did we get to this point, and how do we stop it happening again?"
To borrow words from feminist organiser, writer, mother and Marxist feminist Madeline Lane-McKinley, “‘innocent’ is code for powerless – a way to fetishize the child as both dependent and sub-human”...
To conquer this fear, it may be necessary for leftists in the 21st century to first give up apologising for the production (and self-fashioning) of non-innocent young people, and practice vindicating it. Only then are we likely to move beyond the “defence” of trans childhoods, towards their celebration. In the final lines of her 2018 study Histories of the Transgender Child, scholar Jules Gill-Peterson writes: “If we adults really desire to learn to care for the many transgender children in our midst, we need to learn what it means to wish that there be trans children.” Let us, as a matter of urgency, set to training ourselves and each other in this wish.
Leftists like Sophie Lewis explain the "why" pretty explicitly, but as usual there's the ultimate defense of "that's only a crazy fringe that all the moderate liberals are only slowly being trained to support, so stop noticing it"
I know I harp on this, but it's yet another one of those cases where everyone explicitly promised we wouldn't end up here. Or rather, relentlessly mocked anyone who suggested this would happen. Like, "leather fetish stuff in kindergarten" was the literal parody of "conservative hysteria" the left made fun of for years.
Forget the legal arguments, because this never should have been allowed to get this far in the first place. What could have been done differently? What can be done differently against the next batch of "nobody's trying to take your X/do X with your kids" tactics? Because all the tactics that everyone tried the last ten times failed miserably.
The left has won for a century pushing things that nobody wanted (even themselves in the beginning!), because they've discovered an entire strategy based around an ideological vanguard pushing insane things on the masses. A strategy which has taken on a life of its own and now exists only to replicate itself like cancer, with no regard to the plans or interests of its creators. Because ultimately, those creators are just a malleable as the proles their "strategies of intervention" were designed to control.

Wait, there's only one mistress? I thought it was mistresses, but maybe it's serial bigamy instead of of polygamy

Or there can be a new teacher, but the bully still uses the same tricks that worked on the old one
There's both a bunch of NGOs (the father hired one as his publicity agent), and the (edit)US DoJ Community Relations Service , who partner with the NGOs to either start riots or do the "killer is the real victim" number.

No, just being able to manipulate authorities. Kindergartners learn it
Come to think of it, where does David Friedman post now? Last time I spoke to him was on DSL, ages ago
I got a cheap 10A (<5A realistically) one of those, 24->12. I don't have any way to test ripple, but at least it'll be easy to see if it makes LEDs flicker. Some of the chineseium power electronics is amazing, some of it's absolutely terrifying.
It's weird that for all the problems AC LED lighting has, DC is somehow no better lol. Seems like that's true of a lot of stuff that you'd think direct DC would be good for.
Lol, half the active posters here are nearly identical orange man bad redditors, they just all activate at once for a few weeks at a time whenever there's a new line to push, then disappear when the bratness stops working

Its by the character designer for madoka, Aoki Ume. The joke is that it's absolutely mindless slice of life about art students, but with very similar characters

How do the drivers for these work? Is it the simple series string + a resistor you see in a lot of lighting strips, or does it use a current limited supply?
I've been wanting to set up a DC led lighting system because I'm so sick and tired of the crappy built-in bulb power supplies, but actually driving these things off a varying battery voltage is kinda difficult

Boyfriend of this guy, "Black queer Zebra. Musician, Artist, Producer, Sound Engineer. He/Him". They both run a bunch of "kid friendly, queer centered" fandom discords for kids shows. That used to be my little pony, but all the kids are into hazbin hotel now, so that's where the "they/them kink friendly" discord mods are.
I can link you a ton of MAP stuff if you like. I collect this stuff as a hobby. Some of them work for Johns Hopkins doing destigmatization through intersectional praxis. It's all thoroughly leftist in theory and practice, hence all the pride flags.
"Just ignore it it's fringe" stops reassuring people after the 50th time the fringe took over the normielib collective consciousness. The same people are often involved in "systems" (multiple personality roleplay), and that's been rapidly normalized in leftist spaces.
