Actively and intentionally not reading the Drumpf or USA threads...

People are speaking People's houses are being vandalized with swastikas. People I know and in my community. People are being threatened and harassed. You know so little about me, your "put your money where your mouth is" comment is just ridiculous. I appreciate your stereotyping of me though. It's comical. Regardless, we will keep fighting the appointments of white nationalists, racists, bigots, xenophobes, islamophobes, and those who wish to strip women, non-gender-binary, and non-heterosexual members of our community of their rights and dignities as citizens. We will be vocal and we will protect each other throughout this ordeal.

What? I never said that evil doesn't exist.

That's a tangible representation of the increase of REPORTED hate crimes. Any increase of hate and assault is not good. ...geee, it was only four women who got raped. that's less than half of one percent. it doesn't matter... grrrrr... this thread makes me sick. Despicable.

I already posted that. I guess he just likes to ignore data.

I'm sorry, but this Everything Will Be Fine, Just, Like, Zen It Out Bro is fucking bullshit. I'm sensing a serious tone of privilege in your comments. The number of hate crimes, since the election, have risen dramatically. Violence against women, people of color, people of different religious and ethnic backgrounds, homosexuals, transgender, and non-conformists in general, have exploded. This is not good and is not something to watch passively. What kind of sick person is okay with violence upon anyone? Not only that, but Trump has named Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, as “chief strategist and senior counselor” to the president. He will be one of Drumpf’s closest advisers and, one can presume, one of the most powerful people in America. In his role at Breitbart, he promoted and legitimized the modern white supremacist movement, sometimes euphemistically referred to as the “alt-right.” Ben Shapiro, who worked alongside Bannon for four years as Breitbart’s Editor-at-Large, wrote that Bannon “openly embraced the white supremacist alt-right.” According to Shapiro, “Breitbart has become the alt-right go-to website… pushing white ethno-nationalism as a legitimate response to political correctness, and the comment section turning into a cesspool for white supremacist mememakers.” Shapiro describes Bannon as “a vindictive, nasty figure, infamous for verbally abusing supposed friends and threatening enemies.” Look, this is not just someone like Mitt Romney, or even George W Bush coming into office. This is a bit more serious, not only of intent, but of the roll back of safety and protections of the people who need them the most. This isn't some shit metaphor for Goa trance.

One who cares about others And we can control this. By standing up for one another, drawing a hard and fast line in the sand regarding these abhorrent behaviors and thoughts, and working together collectively to correct this bullshit as soon as possible. Are you not getting this? The racists, misogynists, xenophobes, and nationalists have been here this whole time but have been kept in check lately. If Trump were to, tomorrow, say, "now now, we need to take care of one another and not be divisive" it won't make a lick of difference. All of those people came out of the word work and have felt the power of being an abuser and justified in actions, thanks to his words, and they are not going to just forget and turn the other cheek. This isn't some manipulation of some illuminati pitting people against people. This is a faction of people who do not believe that others are equals, some don't think the others should even live. This is their moral beliefs. It's not going to change if Trump says anything different. Trump didn't invent these people. He gave them the power to show their faces.

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/11/11/over-200-incidents-hateful-harassment-and-intimidation-election-day Pulling from news reports, social media, and direct submissions at the Southern Poverty Law Center's website, the SPLC had counted 201 incidents of election-related harassment and intimidation across the country as of Friday, November 11 at 5pm. These range from anti-Black to anti-woman to anti-LGBT incidents. There were many examples of vandalism and epithets directed at individuals. Often times, types of harassment overlapped and many incidents, though not all, involved direct references to the Drumpf campaign. Every incident could not be immediately independently verified. Sorry, but this is fucking scary and dangerous. These people have been legitimized and this isn't going to get better unless there is a direct response from the government and then a direct action from law enforcement. But law enforcement has been demonstrably part of the problem for a while themselves. My heart rate hasn't slowed since Tuesday. I am nervous and worried for everyone of diverse backgrounds

?! There have been numerous attacks on queer, people of color, and women since he won the election. Even in my super progressive town, people in trucks are yelling "White is Right" in parking lots. This is scary. I am so beyond thankful that I am a straight white male at this point. Trump is not a fucking teddy bear and he is emboldening this behavior and making it acceptable. That is NOT okay by any stretch. He wants to get rid of the EPA and his vice president believes in torturing gay people to make the gay go away. This is repugnant. You all should be scared too. He could essentially sink us all with policies that don't address climate change. His EPA pick is a climate change denier. I am nauseated due to this. This has a very real potential of dire consequence.

? What's wrong with that meme? Seems rather mellow. I don't know if Bernie will be up for running again in four years, but maybe he can groom someone awesome for the job

Thank you! I kept trying to remember what that URL was and I couldn't figure it out. I knew he had a site somewhere

It's either some version of ECT - Squawk or someone straight stole the track.

We need ranked voting. A third party will never work without ranked choice voting. Which should be the rule. As well as popular vote. The electoral college is garbage. Fuck gerrymandering. This sucks.

Doctor Strange! Was real good, not great, but good. The visuals were fantastic, but the first act's third rate knock off of the House MD show was just terrible. Bad acting, but dialog, bad script. It's worth getting past, as the movie turns out to be quite fun, but that was bad. Now that it's all setup though, really hoping the sequel is even better

Lumukanda - That Was Zen - This Is Tao CD '13e' (Psy Trance) This is more of a down tempo release than a psytrance release. That said, it is a great album and I encourage someone to snag it!

The price for a half gallon of coffee is a few bucks. It's quite cheap to make at home. I'll kick you some coffee for free =) I'll be bringing a bunch for camp -

Yes! If it is the end of the world, I'm gonna go out satisfied! -
It definitely affects me. I drink one cup of my magic brew each day and that's it. On weekends I might have an additional cup of regular coffee if I go out to brunch. After fucking with my caffeine levels greatly during that stint as a barista, I now watch my intake. Also, it cleans me out! That shit makes me poop like mad. Instant diuretic lolololol

He does live stuff in Edinburgh. If you are ever in that part of the country, you can probably hear him play some place. He does recordings for other people but I'm not sure how to figure out which bands. If he ever puts up a discography, I'll let you know. Most of his work is live performance installation stuff. Don't think he releases it.
