@evan Yes. Being able to vote for nominees and candidates in leadership races is pretty powerful, even if you don't do anything else.

@Anibyl Does your red rose indicate that you're a DSA member?

@evan I am not an American, and had to look it up. The red rose is a common socialist symbol.

@evan Two in fact, federal and provincial.

@Anibyl yes, it is! Thanks.

@evan I've never taken a deliberate act to join a party.
But I've given several of them money.
@preinheimer I find that interesting! Why donate without becoming a member?

@evan I donate so they can buy more ads.
I don't put effort into "joining" because I'm not sure what value I'd get out of it.
That all said, I might be a member of the NDP just because of donations. I think I have a "leadership circle" pin somewhere.

@preinheimer I think the big advantage of membership is having a voice in policy and leadership decisions. I'm a member of two parties (federal and provincial) and we have meetings and votes all the time. It's a big contrast for me compared to the US, where there's not really a party membership structure for most parties, although you can usually declare affiliation with electoral systems to participate in primaries.

@evan usually >1. There's federal and provincial. And sometimes its good to join a few at each level and try to advance my values in all of them.

@evan @preinheimer The US Democratic Party has organizations that you can participate in at the state, county and local levels. You can run to be an official party representative for your community during the primaries. Official committee members vote to endorse candidates in primary and general elections, and even to select candidates for special elections (for which there is no primary). They also help campaign for candidates that they have endorsed, and recruit candidates for open positions.

@evan I honestly think it is a good thing that the vast majority of Canadians are not party members.

@nick @preinheimer These are all good points! Thanks for noting them.

@evan My impression is that the US used to operate much like Canada where party membership was purely a private affair and parties themselves were purely private organizations. I think I heard that, to combat back-room power dealing within parties, some of those private functions were made public (e.g. the state running primaries).
It seems like this encouraged party membership and/or identification to the what, 20-30% level compared with Canada's 1-2% levels.
This encourages polarization.

@stefano the results where a chock 😂😂

Ogni giorno una, ogni giorno a centinaia di donne viene esercitata un qualche tipo di violenza: psicologica, emotiva, fisica.
Umiliazioni, minacce, molestie, botte, invisibilizzazioni, fame affettiva, ricatto, morte.
Sono piena di rabbia - io, le mie amiche, tutte quante.
I negazionisti di questo continuo, secolare tentativo di sottomissione della donna devono restare soli a vita.
Gli "aspiranti" o effettivi sottomettenti andrebbero proprio presi a manate, ma se lo dico poi so' violenta. Tutto sommato me lo rivendico: la violenza degli oppressi non è la stessa degli oppressori.

@chiccocaffe l'ho trovata, ma non voglio indebitarmi per una ventola 🤣 se riesco faccio con materiale di recupero
-
@DigiDavidex online dovresti trovarne anche un modello che si monta sotto con ventola tangenziale(allungata e non tonda) che ti spinge l'aria, si attiva da sola quando il termosifone è riscaldato

Non tutti gli uomini ma andate a fare in culo.
"A quasi 250 donne sarebbero state somministrate sostanze stupefacenti o diuretici durante un colloquio di lavoro al ministero della Cultura con un alto funzionario pubblico, Christian Nègre che avrebbe offerto loro caffè o tè mescolati con un potente diuretico illegale, che sapeva avrebbe fatto loro venire voglia di urinare.
Gli agenti hanno trovato un foglio di calcolo intitolato "Esperimenti", dove avrebbe annotato gli orari delle somministrazioni di farmaci e le reazioni delle donne."

"In vacanza fino al 20”: come una nota WhatsApp può rovinarti la vita
Negli anni ’80 ci insegnavano che il pericolo arrivava dalle cabine telefoniche e dai punk con il coltellino. Oggi, invece, arriva da un dettaglio messo nello stato di WhatsApp. Una nota. Una frase. Una data. Un indizio per chi sa leggerlo.
Con le nuove Activity Notes di WhatsApp — micro-frasi che restano visibili per 24 ore e diventano parte del profilo — si apre una nuova superficie di attacco. Nulla di “drammatico” in sé, ma tutto diventa significativo quando lo guardi con gli occhi dell’OSINT, della social engineering e della deception analysis

@Paradox that surname is why there's a Boring in Oregon (and probably other places).
