Here’s what I’ve done when attempting at my workplace via the postal workers union.

Get in contact with an organizer, they are there to help guide you or who ever wants to be the main leader of this effort. I will say, as the lead organizer in my attempt, it’s just talking a lot, and getting people to a meeting, it kinda sucks but isn’t a huge ordeal to do, and takes maybe 2 hours in a busy week.

I went through the AFL-CIO website aflcio.org/formaunion and filled out my information, during my major attempt it took half a week to get in contact with an organizer, though it could take a bit longer.

You’ll get in contact with an organizer and they’ll get a rundown of your workplace and what it looks like.

After that there’s about an hour’s worth of training to know your rights and what works for your union.

Then you’ll be pretty much ready to go to start talking with coworkers to try and get an organizing committee (10% of your workplace) which will be your main coworkers who should be all about the idea, after that 10% then you’ll start convincing everyone in your workplace and soon after that collect signatures.

Then you’ll go to an election, sadly I do not have much information to get beyond here as the movement fell apart in my workplace during signatures due to a weak organizing committee.

Hope this helps ya out and if you want any additional information I’m happy to share, we need more unions especially in IT!

I’ve asked the same thing to my organizer and it was basically telecom is the closest to it under the AFL-CIO umbrella, and i believe he said they may end up getting an IT specific union once enough get unionized.

The most famous victims of all, armed men in broad daylight with firearms.

Why wouldn’t we? The PS5 is already 3* years old, most cycles are around 7 years

Imma say it, he’s kinda based, evades taxes and “illegally” owns guns, free my boy.

Glad I haven’t played a cod game in years.

There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

I’m someone who studies history a lot.

Everything you said could be replaced with 1910-14 as the current year and you’d be pretty close to prevailing opinions of the day.

Wars need men. Well trained men ideally, but he who has the numbers usually wins.

In WW1 It took 3-6 months to churn through the professionals, in WW2 I don’t recall off hand but we’re looking at months. In Vietnam it did take 5 years yes, but that’s not the kind of war that Europe is or should be preparing for. In Ukraine it seems likely to be around 9 months, for Russia at least (unless you’re paratroopers then 3 days).

Outside of huge technological and leadership gaps you need the bigger army to win and that’s why conscription is the necessary evil.

You are by no means wrong. But outside of ancapistan types, I think everyone can say the governments job is to protect it’s citizens from would be invaders. With world tensions rising along with various other crisis’ it’s just the best move, being prepared for the worst and taking precautions.Trained vs untrained soldiers could be the difference between 500 casualties and 2500 (the infamous German school battalions of WW1 for example)

It’s one of the few actual necessary evils, unless your country is on the offensive of course.

To be fair, Austin has to be not far behind LA as some of the worst. Everything in Texas is made for cars only basically.

Don’t forget for trying to form a union too!

I just beat tcg2, I’m onto the end game content trying to get that 50 wins in a row

If they’re willing to make sacrifices why not ~1-2 hours a week dedicated to unionizing their workplace

All of those things are within the dedication to privacy. A lot of upfront time commitment but near effortless after the fact. On desktop it’s even easier.

Unless there’s something beyond switching DNS, using a VPN and your own router/modem. It’s maybe 100$ up front and ~3-5 per month to be able to circumvent any telecom.

Anyone celebrating this is a fool.

This will lead to more spying on you, gives police even more power, and offers you only less noise for how many cars?

Trees, greenery and better housing design might solve the issue or make it not bad.

Self reporting, followed by an inspection to verify the car’s sound could solve this issue.

But more surveillance for another ones of the world surveillance states is so fucking stupid.

I don’t know if you know this, but it’s pretty easy for someone to make private their phone, search history, etc. You just need to be a little dedicated and sacrifice some usability.

You cannot do the same with microphones listening everywhere that you do not own.

Have some sense.
