is there anyone in my bubble of fedi who can put a friend of mine in touch with a New Zealand trucking company that's hiring immigrants?

she currently holds a US CDL with hazmat and doubles certification, so she should qualify for anything



Remember, France is already governed by fascists, and Canada is just an election away from this.

This all because people vote against their interests.

Dneska se mi poprvé v životě stalo, že ukazatel teploty chladící kapaliny motoru byl mimo normu. Tomu autu jsem po cestě z práce dával ještě jak nikdy. Tak moc jsem spěchal domů. Až jsem si řekl hmm. Dobře. Tak zapnu topení na plno, ať to zchladím. Po příjezdu domů jsem zjistil, že se ta ručička sekla a po opětovném otočení klíče už byl ukazatel v normě. Nelze se divit, že se to seklo. Možná to na tom místě bylo poprvé v životě.

Moje první auto, které jsem dostal od našich, byla v roce 94 Škoda 120 L, ta vařila vodu pravidelně. Po vychladnutí jsem do nádržky rval i sníh v zimě 😀😀

@archos já měl Fiata 500, toho s opačně otevíranýma dveřma a motorem vzadu. V létě se přehříval furt, jezdilo se s otevřeným kufrem vzadu.
in reply to Archos

@archos Já měl první auto v r. 91 Škodu 100, to byl taky hardcore. Aspoň ale měla vychytávku - proměnný převod na větrák chladiče. Řemen se dal na léto nebo na zimu na jinou dvojici řemenic. Ale stejně se v létě topilo... 😅

@OttovonWenkoff @archos jj a na chatu to 1 nedala, tak táta couval.
Ale 100vka byla naše druhé auto, předtím 6V Trabant (prosím ne 6 válců ale voltů). Táta měl ještě za svobodná Octavii co prý měla ještě části ze dřeva, v té mě vezl z porodnice.

@GuloGulo @archos jj, staré Oktávky byly na rámu, to mohlo shnít půl auta a drželo to v kupě. Občas se vyskytla i dřevěná výplň. 😉

Toronto breaks 65-year-old temperature record on Tuesday

Mam takovou kacířskou myšlenku.
Ještě pořád si myslíte, že ti normální jsme my?
Jako já vím, že se snažíme prosazovat bezpečnost, lidské hodnoty, spravedlnost… Ale zatím to vypadá, že většina světa si přeje něco jiného a za normální považuje věci, které jsou pro nás přes čáru. A není to najednou JEN Maďarsko, jen Slovensko, jen Amerika.
Takže otázka zní, nejsme MY ta zmatená menšina bez vztahu k realitě?

no, a teď babo raď. Většinové ano, demokraticky odhlasované ano, ale demokratické? Asi i jo, ale správné a lidské určitě ne 🤷‍♂️
in reply to Ivan Stloukal

Není to demokratické. Právo většiny není definicí demokracie, je to jen jeden ze způsobů demokratického rozhodování. Dalšími jsou třeba kvalifikovaná většina nebo konsenzus. Navíc demokracie není jednorázová věc, ale proces, který má umožnit nápravu rozhodnutí opět demokratickými prostředky. Když si odhlasujeme, že tu chceme diktaturu a koncentráky, tak na to jaksi opravný demokratický mechanismus není, takže i když si to odhlasuje většina, pořád to bourá ten demokratický proces a demokratické to tudíž není.


Music is a great way to get emotions out. First time making something in Reaper. No fucking clue why my sidechain seemingly just...completely and entirely went away when I rendered it, but whatever. Don't care, got a tiny bit of my emotions out this way. Any clues how I'm feeling yet?

Note to USA folks, ❗trans folks especially❗.

A passport is:
- Fundamentally useful
- A federal ID
- Recognized in most state/local level contexts
- *You can change your gender marker on it through pure self ID, with nothing medical required*. "X" is an option. travel.state.gov/content/trave…
- Normally 4-6 weeks to process (faster if u pay extra); that means if you apply for one this week, you easily get it before Jan 20.
- Lasts 10 years

Perhaps apply for one (or renew it, to reset yr 10 years) soon.

Categorically insulting all of America for what happened yesterday is toxic behavior, and any of those engaging in it now should be ashamed of themselves. Some of our votes don't count because of the electoral college. Some of us are disabled or otherwise struggling and can't afford to move to places where it might, or can't move for other reasons. Some of us don't just show up and virtue signal at the polls every 4 years--we're actively fighting for marginalized folks the rest of the time as well. Some of us actively have our votes and voices taken away. I could go on and on and on and on and on.

You want to grieve with us or insult leadership, or even criticize the ones who voted for that fascist asshat? Fine. But tell us all we chose this, paint us all with one brush, and shame on you, and I hope for your sake no one kicks you the next time you have occasion to feel grief and hopelessness despite your efforts to change course. And when you do grieve, I hope you remember this moment and these words, and that someone might have kicked you when you were down too but didn't.

And anyone who says "it's fine, we're just being hyperbolic" can go fuck their hyperbolicism, and themselves for that matter, with a rusty nail. That's all my social media contribution for the day, thanks for joining me on my journey of self-expression.



Choose gentle joy to yourself. Make that your mantra. Live it day by day and develop the willpower to be in a mindful, nonreactive mindset. That's really the best advice I have today for Mastodon. I feel your pain, your fear, but by not assuming and listening to our fellow neighbors, choosing optimism, you can still shape further divisions from occuring in this world. Now go forth, I've given many you a bunch of inspiring messages that came from my heart and soul around this.

Semifun fact:
My seventeen years old son forgot his calculator with his mum, and is at this very moment using my fx-180P during his physics test today.

in reply to jens persson

@MrShark @nixCraft wow what a fun coincidence. I brought it out as a backup for *my* then 17yo son when his fancy graphical calculator broke earlier this year, and it has just been left lingering on my table since.

(now he has turned 18 and I fixed his TI calc by replacing the battery)

OK, my one and only political post as it honestly doesn't engage me.

Remember y'all, the only thing you always have control over are your reactions, always. It's an autonomy nobody can take away when you think about it, you and you alone have control of how your feelings alter your own actions. (Unless of course you're hooked up to mind and body control systems, but let's not think about that.)
It's very disheartening to see so many already panic and talk of leaving a country when there's zero reason to worry until and if we reach any of those moments.
in reply to Keri Svendsen

Huge hugs to you! I totally get your feelings and they are valid, but I also hope it doesn't go that far. If they are planning to mirror Orbán, who is largely the prime-minister keeping me away from returning to visit Hungary, the ones at highest risk are undocumented and entering the border immigrants. They would have much harder times getting rid of naturalized citizens or actual people without huge consequences and protests first, so I wouldn't worry til it happens. :) #USPol

Now that it's no longer possible to rank in web searches, unless you're a content farm or a major publisher, it's a good time to ditch SEO, drop keywords, use descriptive headlines instead of catchy or clickbait ones, and write for humans. SEO won't help anyway, so let's help the readers who care.
