    My place of work provides affordable housing. Best: helping people be housed Worst: It's a toss up between knowing there are still so many people waiting for help and seeing people sucked back into the cycle of poverty

    I tell myself that taking the first step (of whatever task I'm avoiding) doesn't mean I have to complete whatever task I'm avoiding. Somehow reminding myself that, for example, taking my socks off doesn't mean I HAVE to take a shower, gets me over the initial hurdle of resistance. If necessary, I will lie to myself about each step of a task, with full knowledge I'm only saying it to trick myself into doing something. At some point, I decide that I might as well finish (usually).

    As far as motorcycles go, I've heard "loud pipes save lives", in that people will hear the motorcycle and be aware of it when they otherwise would not.

    Oh, yeah! I love those tracks too.

    Those lines in wrong way/one way: I touch the ground/send my roots deep down/try to stick around.

    And these from big lie: Everything's changing / there's beauty between the lies

    I'm massively indebted to the friend who introduced me to RVIVR. I think I love all of their music.

    I once was able to participate in a live stream thing Erica did on Instagram; she asked for requests, and then played mine! I was on cloud nine for months after and still get giddy thinking about it. To be fair, I think she played all the requests, but still...

    Pretty much any RVIVR song, imo. I was going to include the best set of lyrics, but I can't decide.

    I'm partial to "goodbyes", "cut the cord", and "shaggy" from a lyrics+music standpoint, but find it difficult to separate the best lyrics without the music.

    Ah, well, as they say, "we're all adults here, we can choose"

    I see I was looking at the conversation from a wider perspective and likely misunderstood the context added by the image. I don't disagree with your comment "abolishing 'x' ends 'x'". However, abolishing any given inequity, one at a time, in one area at a time is not the progress I was speaking of when I asked how to change social structure. Before we can abolish anything, we need people who believe it should be abolished, and we need enough of them to institute change. My question was directed more toward the earlier steps: identifying necessary change and then creating/maintaining a movement which can enact that change.

    Yeah, the context button doesn't seem to add the context that I find helpful. I agree it should show your comment and replies to your comment (and parent comment, if applicable? Although I think that should show as a collapsed portion that you can expand as desired).

    When I click the chain icon, it brings me to the post and I can see the reply comment, but not my own (which for me adds a lot of needed context for interpreting the reply). Is this normal?

    While I feel like I might understand some of the impulse to restrict resources as a way to ensure all members contribute to society, we can see that this isn't actually the outcome of such restrictions; this tells me that the motivation isn't about improving society but rather improving the standing of a select few. It is all about power and control. How do we change the social structure at this point?

    The concept of suitable housing as a right is too uncommon. I wish the US government would put more focus on tangible needs like housing, access to healthy food, and healthcare.

    Could you link to the post? I was only able to find another post with a similar (but different, imo) question, which was also removed as a duplicate. I'd like to read the answers, if possible

    I stopped eating these because of how frequently the crumbs ended up in my bra! They are more crumble than bar, imo, and just not worth the mess!

    Basically the title. I'd love to create a community to replace my small subreddit, but I am am not sure how to do so. So far I have only used jerboa to participate. I have an account through lemmy.world and one through sopuli.xyz because I don't know what I'm doing! Any guidance is appreciated.
