about moving from the US, what to expect (this is going to be harsh and potentially confronting, but realistic)
I'm not going to tell you not to move out of the US, and I will certainly provide assistance to do so where I can if asked.
However, you have to realize: things are not rosy in Europe. Fascism does not respect borders, and we are dealing over here with the exact same fascism that you're dealing with over there, it's just at a different stage and of a slightly different flavour. In many cases it's the literal same group of people, working across borders.
Which is to say: you *will not* escape fascism and live happily ever after by moving to Europe. It doesn't matter which country. You won't. You're going to have to fight fascism, one way or another, it's not optional. If not today, then in a few years.
If you need to move to get some breathing room for a while and prepare for that fight, that is okay! But you're still going to have to engage in that fight eventually, and I'm not just talking about violent encounters here - it takes all stripes.
So... if you're planning to move to Europe, you need to be making a plan on how you're going to fight fascism once you've moved, ideally one that includes fighting it in the US too.
And there are going to be people to support you here, but there are going to be people to support you in the US too. Think carefully about your options and what you can do locally before deciding to move, and whether you cannot do more in an environment you already know.

Advice for Americans considering immigration
If you have not seriously looked into this before, be prepared to discover that this process is bureaucratic, slow, infuriatingly difficult, often requires a job offer in advance, often requires formal education. It favours people with means and is nearly impossible if you are ill or disabled, even if you have family.
In all likelihood, it will be easier to move to another US state than to leave the country.

On my way home I saw one of the most Glasgow things possible
More handwritten text not shown in these 4 pictures:
• The left side says “Place your unwanted potentially useful bitsa shite here”
• The top flap says “If properly cared for this box should last 36 months in any weather”

wording help
Seeking a replacement phrase for "bless this person/thing", expressing I like what they are doing, I support them, I wish them the best, etc. without invoking religion.
Ideally equally short.
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space I do enjoy it a lot, though most of that isn't because of the coaster part... and yeah, I feel like you could make an entire documentary out of the mishaps with building that ride alone
@Yuki I get your site; perhaps they pointed it at an IP address that once hosted their site, and now hosts yours?

For those who need a break from the bleak, that fresh box of cat you ordered has arrived. Enjoy with reckless abandon.
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space As I understand it, the test runs were scheduled/required by the Efteling, not Intamin, and I imagine that's probably why it worked out well :P
@blaurascon Perhaps an off-the-wall suggestion, but if you can't find any place selling this, and nobody else is able to find it either, perhaps it's worth asking a local metalworking shop if they can custom make one for you? As it seems to be just a bracket with no further mechanical components
@blaurascon So I did find a listing on a Russian site that claims to still have it for sale: https://avto.pro/part-4724858AA-CHRYSLER-363/?srsltid=AfmBOoqFpbo-ETPdzd795CI3gsUJFOhEuc4ouNUOQUfOCTc5QcRXJXo2
But every US seller I was able to find is also reporting 'discontinued' and I am unable to find any leads on 'compatible' parts 😐
@blaurascon If it's any help, part seems to be made by Mopar originally: https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-suspension-bracket-right-4724858aa (name showed up in some other listings too)

@mynameistillian YES!
every potential outcome is a reason to fight
if you don't expect success, fight for hope
if you don't see hope, fight out of spite
if you can't act from spite, fight to be remembered in the annals of history
if you don't care about future history, fight for each other in the here and now
let every breath be an act of vengeance

my rationale is: if we are not doomed, we should fight, because we stand a chance. but if we are doomed, we should fight anyway, just in case that our actions and refusal to give up might create that chance. if not, then we will at least stick it to them.
if this earth is going to hell, let's at least make them pay first.
also: someone from the future will look down on us resisting and will be glad we did it.

🦾you know what? Fuck this self blaming “this is who we are” rhetoric about Trump I keep seeing.
I did nothing to deserve this situation. “We” do not “deserve” fascism. Nobody “deserves” fascism. This is not “who we are” this is who this government is. This isn’t a democracy, it’s a constitutional oligarchy, where they fuck with our minds to keep us from organizing.
Here’s your takeaway! Fewer people voted for Trump this year than in 2020.
He won because less people voted for Harris in 2024 than Biden in 2020. But more people voted for Harris this year than for Clinton in 2016 *even though she never went through a primary and only had 100 days to campaign*
So if I’m going to point fingers, I’m not pointing it at the Trump voters who are still a minority of people in this country.
I’m pointing it at the DNC, who keep fucking exploiting my fear of being bullied until I’m praying that people who support genocide win to save my own skin!
