I’m one of the 3% voting for moe.

Our government just reauthorized section 702, which allows domestic law enforcement agencies (fbi, etc.) to conduct warrantless search for us citizens in databases created by agencies tasked with prosecuting noncitizens (cia, dhs, ins).

So the noncitizen agencies are using mass surveillance technology and techniques to create a huge database of everything and it’s fine because they don’t have jurisdiction to use it against citizens, then domestic law enforcement is allowed to go searching in it with no warrant due to a legal side door.

FBI 702 searches were used against the January 6 people though, so it’s good. Literally reauthorizing the domestic surveillance state every year because it could be used on political enemies.

To hear the spook watchers talk about it, cia is pissed because there’s an outside chance fbi will get the new toy taken away.

I know their posts are controversial, but we still need people to oversee the lending of books and old movies.

Without them where would old people do their taxes?

Blocked for abusing notifications!

Everybody got something to say til it starts giving brain.

It’s not bad, it’s ineffective and plays into the opposition messaging, police actions and activism and harms the future of your members.

I think there’s a real difference between saying “go bigger” and respectability politics. That’s why I got out in front of the accusation of respectability politics by saying “go bigger”.

I wasn’t able to find any examples of tone policing in my post. I have investigated myself and found me innocent of all charges.

Everyone involved just got run in. Assuming no one gets it when they check you for outstandings, you’re all in the system now. Immediately grinding up against the carceral state pushes away your people who are willing to protest.

Arrest records are public. Now all these people can be harassed by cops, the israel lobby etc.

Aside from failing the yippie test, blocking the roads is ineffective here. Take an incredibly sympathetic cause like the brutalized palestinian people and demonize it by making people late for work or to pick their kids up in its name.

What does it accomplish? The average highway driver has no way to control American foreign policy. The ceasefire already had majority support. Everyone already knows what’s happening.

Blocking the roads is the most wrong form of demonstration at this point.

In general, blocking the roads like this is the wrong way to protest. It puts you in opposition to people driving (that’s everyone) and only serves to get the word out but only because people are frantically searching “who are these assholes”.

If someone knows all this and still wants to do it, they’re a fed. If they don’t know and want to do this, they’re doing what the feds want.

Before some enterprising poster says this is all respectability politics and tone policing, when you don’t care what people think and need to disrupt traffic, tear the roads up. Literally take hand tools and destroy them. When you got so many people in the march that it spills into the street, that’s great! Don’t make a little pissant line of linked arms across seven lanes, bring a stadium! Wanna show people that it’s normal to do outstanding things because of the insane violence on the tv? Make it normal, with a big crowd! When people see thirty jerks keeping them from buying groceries emblazoned with the cause they’ve been told is wrong and crazy it looks wrong and crazy.

Idc what you think about roads and cars and using protest to disrupt everyday life, if someone in your organization suggests blocking a road they’re either a fed or a useful idiot of feds.

Firsthand experience of course!

Yes it does. Try saying it sometime.

No unless there’s an insane new industrial method that lets you make domed automotive glass like that for like zero dollars.

I could make the lag argument, there’s a lot of evidence that the combination of distance and all kinds of packet inspecting network hardware would make Chinese players harder to deal with…

opens big book of racism instead

Damn new seasons of American dad!

Still using padded armor after the rapier nerf smdh my dick head.

Even with tipping some of the slower holiday shifts here are attractive to people. I used to work with a bartender who would always pick up the Christmas night shift. The volume was dogshit but with him and one person in the kitchen they’d clear tips like it was Friday.

Yes, since the post is about a restaurant in the us I only commented about serving in the us.

I’m not sure where you’d put the cutoff for multifunction, servers in the us are expected to do a bunch of side work that could include putting away glassware, marrying and refilling condiments, making silverware and napkin setups, etc. servers in the us will famously only do their side work until they’re tipped out.

Part of the point I’m trying to make is that there’s an expectation of how things will be in a serving job and people set their expectations for the way they’ll be paid based on that. Serving in the us is already one of those jobs that have you running a checkbook out of a wad of cash anyway, so it’s not like someone looking at serving jobs is gonna do the slot machine eyes coming up dollar signs when they hear $30 an hour.

Like you’re saying, without significant changes to the way servers are scheduled, paid, work is broken up and, as a consequence, the way servers live and plan their lives, changes that allow for hourly pay will be face an uphill battle both with the workers and management.
