My local county something or other was sending out a newsletter the other day demanding that Fairfax County have some special Christian day of respect.  I can't even.  That guy is typical of the sort of vestigial overalls wearing Klan types in Virginia...but that really doesn't sell in Northern VA anymore.  

I was thinking that instead of another No Dictators rally we need to just show up at our local courthouses, office buildings, etc with our lawn chairs and blankets and hold a day of fasting and reflection. It would be interesting to see haw the gangsters react to something like that

The dispersed rallies were basically that.  People with their Soros-purchased signs carefully-made-to-look-handmade just walking around talking and gathering fellowship.

I also think a general strike is not a bad idea.  Something that would shock the oligarchs.  Something that can't be spun by the RWM.  I think if the non-federal union workers of the country were to do something in solidarity with the federal unionized labor that might be what is called for.

We were the first in 1776 (actually, 1783 but whatevs). It took about 140 years for the next country to do so.

Speaking of Mercator distortion ... 😝

But seriously folks—Russia is legitimately 115 times the size of Bangladesh, which is about the size of the state of Illinois.

I remember having to include my ID when I applied for my mail ballot in Virginia in 2020. It was a copy of my drivers license or something like that

  • From the Citizen Portal Landing Page, select “Apply to Vote Absentee by Mail” by Mail.
  • Fill out the required information (Name, DOB, last four of SSN, Locality, and attestation.) Click Submit.
  • Click the “I want to apply to vote absentee by mail” check box. Click “Continue”.
  • Provide Identity Information (Driver’s License Number or State ID, Date of Birth, SSN, and check consent boxes). Click “Next”.
  • Indicate your residency status as either a Virginia resident or living overseas. Click “Next”.

It looks like I’m not going to be able to post here anymore, at least for a while. Apparently I have hit some sort of cap on uploaded assets, and now I can’t attach anything that’s bigger than 2.76 kB, which is barely more than a screenshot of a sentence in a Word doc.

Hopefully the cap resets after the end of a rolling day period or something, but if not—if it’s a permanent assets upload cap of some sort—then that’s the end for me.

can't you delete your old file uploads?

Hmm - looks like we can't. I wonder if that is tied up with the limit on how long we can delete/edit posts. I'm pretty sure in one of the earlier versions of the board you could delete old attachments  - but that was probably when there was no time limit on editing old posts.

I had a co-worker who had to go and work in Dhaka during Covid.  Possibly the most densely populated place at the worst possible time to be in such a place.

Yeah, not sure. I poked around via PIM but I’m not sure anyone knows.
