No, you are not.

You have not been targeted if you were not also targeted under Trump. You are not a victim.

No, you haven’t.

As much as I can without harming those who depend on me.

Technically, Lemmy itself is a “radical left” platform. That was its purpose in creation.

To be fair, choosing Lemmy over Reddit is absolutely a political choice, hence people here are going to be more politically-minded.

Spoken like someone who has never been targeted based on the political climate, and hasn’t cared for anyone who has.

I’d actually say it’s the reverse, all labor is unskilled labor, but some of it takes previous unskilled labor to perform and is thus compressed.

It’s also good to not use it, if you can afford to keep it and spend normally. HSA space is extremely limited, because it’s by far the best retirement account available. FSAs are fantastic for spending, as they don’t have as many restrictions and don’t carry over year over year.

You actually don’t have to spend money with an HSA, ever. You can invest it, and it rolls over. FSAs must be spent within the year you contribute, though.

Returning home after work, hands freezing as they touch the cold metal doorknob. Turning on lamps, lighting candles, making a lovingly tender and warm cup of coffee, snuggling up with a pet and a partner on a couch, cozy under the various old blankets you’ve collected over the years, and playing Stardew Valley, Skyrim, or any other comfort game together.

Grab some warm stew or curry, throw on a well-loved hoodie, and enjoy the security and hospitality you give yourself and your family.

Warm pie and cookies for dessert, and a book to sip on and savor.

You’re fine to prefer that way, but you’re just wrong about files being less secure or somehow less owned than physical copies.

Not necessarily, you can self-host. I also listed it as a backup, for actual storage on thumb drives, SD cards, etc. It’s really not difficult, files are far more secure and safe than a physical book, which itself degrades upon use.

And if you store it in the cloud, and in thumb drives, they will be there even if your home burns down, and far more of em too.

That’s not what I’m referring to. If you have an epub or similar file, you own it. You can store it, and delete it at your own whim.

Absolutely! The bed point is a big kicker, I don’t want to wake my partner up with a light, or with page turns, or sit in an awkward position. Digital is just easier.

Depends on the format, you can absolutely own ebooks.

Digital. I love physical books, but I never read them. Digital is so much easier for me to actually sit down and read, and I love building up my library.

Same as usual. Vote for the least harmful candidates while advocating for actual grassroots improvements, because voting harder won’t move America to the left, ever.
