I was just looking into that and found that, apparently, you should be able to migrate your data quite easily. I already did so from Goodreads to Storygraph, and it was easy enough.

I also use Storygraph and like it well enough. Is there a good reason to switch to Bookwyrm?

Thanks for sharing.

A lot of people who don’t have much experience helping with the homeless don’t realise how dangerous it can often be and tend to err on the side of optimism.

We’ve had to call police on numerous occasions because of instances of physical assault. Of course, the vast majority of people we help are lovely, but it helps to be realistic to keep yourself and others safe.

I agree that people lack compassion, but for a substantial number, it’s not ‘for no reason.’

Many people’s interactions with the homeless population are very negative, typically involving theft, drug use, and terrifying mental health breaks. Obviously, that’s very much an issue of selection bias since it’s typically the same few who give the entire homeless population a bad reputation.

I think if people gave more of their time to help the homeless and others who have fallen through the cracks of society, a lot of the cruel words and horrible treatment directed toward our less fortunate would diminish substantially. A few hours a week volunteering at your local food bank, shelter, church kitchen, nursing home, etc. Is a small inconvenience but an absolutely huge help.

Additionally, we must rethink how we treat repeat offenders and public criminality. A lot of the time police won’t even respond to a reported bike theft or incidence of public drug use. The offenders are a danger and nuisance not only to themselves and the general public at large, but also, and most substantially, to other homeless people.

This is not a US specific issue, tbh. I’ve heard this weird belief repeated by all sorts of people.

shakes fist THE DANES!

I mean, that’s basically how the entire hospitality industry operates at this point.

Can we delete it?

App Manager doesn’t seem able to remove all the google bloatware from my Flip6.

Also, using Aurora and F-droid and still getting ‘download from Google play’ error message when trying to run certain apps. Any work around?

Who had ‘murdered in their sleep by Henry the Hoover’ on their bingo card?

Unfortunately, the tissues have a 1000% tarrif. Perhaps sandpaper will do?

If everyone can ‘train’ themselves on copyrighted works, then I say "fair game.‘’

Otherwise, get fucked.

That’s what they call ‘stealing’ or ‘piracy’ when the serfs do it.

I wonder if he’s tried saying ‘thank you’ to Putin?

24 hours. But he was talking about 24hours from the perspective of Pluto, our cherished 9th planet.

They seem that way because they are.

Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.

I can’t deny the convenience Amazon provide people in terms of their logistics and the range of products available in one place.

In saying that, it’s really not that difficult to forgo, and there are plenty of alternatives. Don’t buy books: get a library card. Buy your electronics from Canada Computers or other similar stores. Healthy Planet and Well.ca are great for cosmetics and self care. Trade prime for a Plex server. There are plenty of options.

I fully deleted my amazon account at the start of this Trump mess and asked them to delete all of my personal data. Life goes on.
