Leverage is pure comfort watch. So fun. And might even learn a thing or two.

Btw if you don't mind British humor, Hustle, is/was also a great watch.

Similar themes and con of the week but the characters and power dynamics make it shine. Would recommend!

He has become more productive. At digging the hole.

Haha nope!

In my case, that train has always run on time and governed by a separate entity. Thankfully.

Some sources did say, decaf has less impact than 'caf', but the trigger will starts be there. Consume at your own risk.

I've been enjoying the decafs these days. I play with the ratios daily for flavor and caffeine content and it's working quite well. The decaf bean tech and variety has advanced quite a bit.

Would recommend if you "miss" the hot beverage ritual without paying the jittery costs.

Oof now that's out of the box. Effective.

Where can one even get that many crickets? Asking for a friend. He makes bad jokes.

Paintball guns? Water guns? Glue guns?

That is brilliant thank you. All it takes is one!

[–] mental_block@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll allow it. As long as you punch up!

Good point!

Reminded Thoreau's words something like "I'd rather become a good neighbor than a good subject". Kindness radiates.

Thank you, didn't know about them.

I'm not advocating for pacifism but maybe something in a same vein as a viral satirist cartoon can be considered a protest. A public performance, coordinated with a vision, that doesn't always slide into "looting and fighting". As you say, we should be ready for it but it's a last resort since the opponents want the protestors to you turn violent to discredit and ignore.

Easy examples like Boston Tea Party, Singing Revolution or Salt March.

I would love a month long general strike but would accept random mildly coordinated actions towards a greater purpose.

Makes sense, I guess I was looking for that viral factor.

Just these days it sounds like a regular protest, while fantastic for raising awareness and bringing people together, can easily get reported as "just another protest" and be dismissed easily.

From the replies here, feels like protesting is an act of life, not sporadic.

 

Wondering what some ideas in the theme of malicious compliance, chaotic good or even legal non-compliance for protesting?

Stuff like chaining yourselves to a tree or purposeful graffiti has been there in the past but I'm curious about yer experiences/stories.

I recall there were some issues with household waste collections and the folks, unfortunately, would stuff their rubbish into public bins. Was wondering why everyone couldn't just dump their bags outside a politicians house who could have power to affect change.

There were some inspiring ones here: https://nonviolencenews.org/2025/01/03/top-10-creative-actions-in-2024-nonviolence-news-special-report/

Stuff like that.. any ideas?
