Violence of the state: OK.

Economic violence of corporations: OK.

Violence of extremist groups whose interest aligns with capital: OK.

Minority groups looking to defend themselves and enact change: hold on there, buddy, you just might be doing a terrorism

It sucks people feel the need to ride their bike out of necessity. But riding is the best way to get around when the infrastructure is there.

Riding feels so good when you’re on a nice path with a flat run. You get the same connection with the world around you as walking, but you move faster without the hassle of traffic

Kids books would be a big part of the market too. You need to have the physical books out on displayso kids can look at them and grab them.

I’d try go independent either book stores or toy shops first but Booktopia would be the next place to look after that for kids books

I’ve bought from digiDirect before and it seems like they’re doing the right thing by Booktopia’s old employees.

I’ll keep buying from them if they make it possible to browse the website with some privacy extensions running

I’ve been through this as well. I went through a stage where I could have multiple job interviews in a week, sometimes on the same day.

I could tell it was the end of the month because recruiters would start calling, and even in the middle of the month after job ads had been up for two weeks.

Then when you do progress a step employers want you to jump through more hoops than ever now. And they’re surprised when you push back because you either still have work or other things going on. I’m not going to give a business free labour on the off chance they hire me, I’ll do your exercises for you when I’m getting paid.

And all the platforms you need to sign up for. I use a password manager and some software shares the same URL, but accounts are separate. You either use a bunch of different passwords and can never tell which is which, or compromise yourself by using the same one over and over.

I know the applicant tracking platforms by look now, and I can tell which I can apply through easily and which will have problems with the way my resume is formatted. Some of the worst software I’ve ever used, the industry as a whole.

Could they at least give it a dark mode with all that empty space?
