I hope he’s taking care of himself. Guys been burning on all cylinders since the Homestuck days.

I’m aware of this organization but other than raising awareness what does the organization do with the money donated to it and how open is it with its spending?

I was just listening to the urbanist agenda podcast on this topic. It’s a good idea but not really easy to throw money at. You’d need to find a local group and work with them under the table.

The tax exempt political contributions seem like theyd be more effective. Even if ndp isn’t your party, you could probably convince more people to give that check up in protest if they are getting some back.

Also if we get somone good in power there will be less need for tactical urbanism. We can just have the more legal kind.

:) perfect

So by giving that 200 check to the NPD. I’d be forcing the Ford government to also give money to the NPD?

What’s the biggest FU to Ford we can spend that money on? Should we just toss it to the NDP?

Though it’s certainly effective. Unless somone very influential happens to be on lemmy looking at comments on memes I don’t think that idea is going to get to them.

What I’ve seen is letter writing campaigns. The idea of getting a large volume of people tonwrite their MPs all at once makes it harder for them to just ignore everyone. Somone whould provide a template with not only the nature of our request but things the mp can actually do to advance the idea. They sometimes actually want to help but don’t know how. This is why you need somone with some degree of knowledge to write the template.

A flyer/poster campaign can help as well. This is good for raising general awareness. Though its more effective if done during a specific time prior to an action like the letter writing campaign or a protest march. Even those who can’t partake in the event can then at least promote it. Though I suggest providing guidelines around ethical flyer distribution. The advantage is that you can get your message to places like libraries and community centers where more civic minded people will see it.

Also there is protests, marches ect. But there are so many of those happening that I feel they often get ignored. The logistics are a pain, amd if not done right they can go bad.

Also is there a place organizing these things? Do they need donations or volunteers?

So with that in mind if anything like that is happening, link your memes to it in some way. It will turn a complaint into action.

What’s the call to action here? When I see content like this I think it’s not enough to just say. “Fist past the post bad ranked voting good.” Many of us agree already. Tell us what to do about it.

At very least toss us a website, but there’s better we can do.

You need us to email someone? Who? What am I saying to them?

Need us to go somewhere? tell us when, where and what to bring

I dont really get the effort to pursue this. Won’t he just pay off doctors, or make up fake reports? Hasnt he already done that in the past?

How many times has this man retired now? I hope he takes good care of himself though. Man wrote the sound track to many of our lives.

Between this and Pokémon sleep I’m questioning why Nintendo needs to watch us sleep.

I like this one. It’s just a fun little game, nothing crazy, no hidden lore or hours of grinding. Just a little story telling for the season.

Amd it’d still cost way less then a gaint tunnel in both building and maintenance.

How i imagine this wwent down:

Ford; “Just one more lane. It’ll work this time I swear.” Sane people: “No it wont and besides, We don’t have room for another lane” Ford: “But what if…”

Anyway. Let’s just build a damn train track. On land. One not owned by a freight service but dedicated to passenger transit.

The methodology seems sketchy. If this ai is just scraping tweets for mentions it may not know the difference between Mario or East side Mario’s (Italian restaurant chain in Canada) I don’t know anyone up here who’d say Mario is their favorite character in video games. It’s could also baised if a game had recently come out featuring any if these characters around the time of polling.

Am I missing a joke or did they spell hear as here accidently?

Still shocked they kicked out Pluto over a doping scandal.

We should have our wealthy play hungry hungry hippos. As in we toss them into a marsh with 4 hungry hippos.

It’s a game of monopoly and we’re all losing.

Give it all away anyway. Screw that genie, wealth hoarding jerk. At worst he kills you and you leave a saintly legacy.
