This also only works if both the violent and non-violent groups have matching demands. In a case where the violent group has demands that pertain specifically or mostly to their own group, then they can be separately appeased by those in power which leaves the non-violent group without any leverage and they can thus be cracked down on.

This is what happened to a lot of Native American tribes in the past 200 years. Given two different tribes in the same geographical region, one violent and the other non-violent, the violent tribe got some concessions like official reservation land in a better area in exchange for peace, while the non-violent tribe often got nothing except brutal genocide. This is more true in the American Midwest and West coast—the Eastern tribes often got nothing at all for either approach.

I think this is the closest to my experience. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I've been writing and expressing my opinions online for so long that I can "stream of consciousness" whatever I'm currently thinking into text

Yes, this is a pretty universal problem with predominantly women-only spaces that are also advertised as such. This is a recurring issue on twoxchromosomes back on reddit, and why so many of those communities end up creating splintered invite-only spaces instead. Same thing with the Tea app from a while ago.

As you said, men can't help themselves and insert themselves into these communities. In the case of invite-only spaces, unfortunately they do also try to sneak in which causes so many problems of enforcement and "proof". Public spaces are of course the most inclusive, but also attract the worst kind of men like a lighthouse

Have you tried making espresso with different kinds of beans? There are plenty of options that aren't bitter. Add in some milk or better yet some oatmilk and it tastes great

You don't have to drink black drip coffee. It's actually fine to drink a latte.

True. I've noticed this especially when it comes to any feminist content or just vaguely women-centric opinions. In particular, this is probably due to the comparatively and relatively small number of women on Lemmy

IIRC it's because the caves start high up in the mountains and are mostly above sea level. Caves that start closer to sea level can't be as deep, something about the water table. Or at least, we can't explore caves as easily when they're full of water. I think those caves in Georgia are mapped up to where the water table is and are theorized to be even deeper

I failed an internal phishing test one time, the first time I've been on the receiving end of the tests instead of the one making it up and sending it out

Anyway, I was still new at the company so I wasn't sure of all the usual domains and processes they have. During an all-hands meeting, the CEO mentioned that we will be receiving our bonuses soon and to make sure to adjust your settings if you want to avoid it all going into your 401k or something. A week later, I get an email saying that I need to adjust my payroll settings for the upcoming bonus. Turns out, it was a phishing test. Jokes on me, the real email to adjust those settings came 4 months later.

What's actually the point of this exercise? Trying to scrape together reasons to be proud of living in a fascist dictator state, "not everything is that bad", just reads like cope. Yeah sure, there are some decent places in the US, but even those could be much better than they are. Every facet of life in the US is being held back by the fascism part, even whatever "good" parts we can brainstorm up

Let's be honest, it's pretty much the entire state. We're* not 49th in k-12 education for nothing!
