This is probably not the solution most people would pick but honestly I just use my manual bike pump lol

I already had it, and it works just fine with a little effort. No batteries, no cables, no electronics. Just a pump. It's been working pretty alright for me

Sedan tires are probably quite a bit smaller than truck tires though, so pumping might get more tiring (hah :P)

Otherwise honestly this might be a thing where most decent options would hold up okay. Myself, I'd be looking harbor freight reviews to see if folks think their options are reliable (I'm very broke lol. Which is why bike pump lol)

I hope you find a good solution!

There were kids in it...? Christ :(

Their icon is cute af, I hadn't seen it before lol

Same, though I was a connect user. To think they could have made everyone way less angry if they just had an app that isn't dogshit 😅

Yeah, I really should have done the same, instead I burned all my guesses lol

I might be one of the few in this thread who really empathizes with the perspectives of the protesters here

I'm not in a position to cut tech out of my life, but for people who are and dont need or depend on it for something important, it may do a lot of harm for little benefit.

But whether there's important benefit will vary from person to person. I have a very isolating sleep disorder, and the internet allows me a little bit more connection than I would get otherwise. And home automation helps shoulder some of the load of managing environmental variables that impact my sleep. And there are also technological things that bring me joy.

But not everyone is in a position where their only connection to others is through the internet (if you're queer in a small town, maybe it is, if you're queer in a big city or you're straight that probably isn't an issue)

There are ofcourse benefits to technology, some of which you can better access through FOSS software, or community projects, or self hosting. But not everyone needs those things, and even those things can have harmful downsides. I think the hyper convenience that much of tech provides is not exactly great for us. Even the fediverse platforms can be addicting, can prioritize stuff that makes you angry, etc, because they copy the underlying design of proprietary social media (even without recommendation algorithms). I struggle to manage how much time I spend engaging with these platforms. Not as much as with reddit, but I still do, and am now creating structure around engaging more in moderation.

I don't love creating e-waste though. I get that it's symbolic, I still think it's wasteful and has no meaningful upsides. It feels deeply privileged to not grasp how that could be a lifeline for poor people who need a way to connect, keep up with work, handle digital tasks like banking and telemedicine, etc, and to smash it on the ground instead of donating it to someone who couldn't afford a reliable device.

Yay, glad it was a helpful suggestion! ☺️

Hope you have a lovely day!

I don't know if it'd be the best solution, but if you're not aware of the ones you can read from above, looking down into them, they might be an option worth considering :)

I hope you find something that works well for you! ☺️

We match ☺️

Joy in solidarity and resistance is so important, it gives us the energy to keep fighting and encourages more people to get involved more than preaching importance ever could

There was an article a while back that talked about how humor was key to the rejection of fascism and that was a huge part of why

The EFF released a delightful new tshirt design recently that just says "Let's sue the government!" With a little heart as the apostrophe. Its so fuckin cute lol

Wishing them luck!

Edit:

“Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “stop the kidnapping,” we [love] immigrants,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” “no white nationalism,” and “trans rights are human rights”

For anyone curious what kinds of things were written

Ripppp 🥲

At least you gave some to folks here a wince and chuckle. The best art evokes emotion 😅

The game doesn't communicate that as a goal in any way does it? I know people try to, but like it doesn't tell you to in the "how to play"... It doesn't tell you to solve it in any particular order at all...

Does it give you any indication you've done something special if you get them in reverse difficulty order? I understood that to be a thing people decided was their goal, not the way you're supposed to be playing and doing otherwise is playing it wrong... 😅

Anyway. It does tell you to watch for things in other categories. I just thought that didn't include entire complete sets of four that very clearly all belong together. Clearly I'm wrong and the designers consider that to be a part of the puzzle 🤷‍♂️

Interesting, I think I follow all of that. Thank you very much for explaining

I guess if it overlaps with every other category then you only have to find a second one to prove it was a red herring, which makes it feel less unfair. But to me it still doesn't feel like I'm playing the game wrong by finding a clear connection and submitting it to take it off the board...

I guess the designers or people who make the puzzle for each day disagree
