Sapphic, perhaps.

Buy local, in cash.

Every card transaction benefits the big credit card companies, all of which are complicit. Local businesses are some of the ones hit hardest from all of this and will need your support.

Avoid chains owned by local folks, too. Those big chains still benefit even if it's your neighbor that owns the local McDonalds.

Support things the government is trying to destroy, like your local library, and your local stores that sell LGBT positive merchandise.

Make friends with your neighbors. Grow things in your yard that they need and trade for stuff you need. Many folks that seem in agreement with all of this really aren't if you know them. We are stronger together.

In regards to home gardens, Not everyone needs everything, but everyone needs something. If you can get chickens or some kind of egg laying fowl, then that's a possibility as well. Guineas are fighters and do well in areas without a lot of brush or low trees.

Bike as much as you can. Avoid gas as much as you can. Ride the bus or a train. Don't fly anywhere. Install solar panels if you are able. Capture rain water and use it for your garden.

Buy used as much as possible, especially clothes.

Replace your single use materials in your home with reusable ones. Rags instead of paper towels, glass containers instead of plastic ones, metal straws, and a water pick instead of floss.

Make things. Anything. Don't monetize your hobbies, share them instead. Trade homemade goods and art for other stuff.

Avoid the dollar as much as possible, and use cash when you can't.

It was my FFXIV character's name first.

There are a lot fewer of them around now than when I was a kid. The trend continues down as we keep doing mass commercial fishing the way we do.

Absolutely this. It speaks a lot that it's easier for a millionaire to pirate the game than to get it legally. Make it easy and cheap and people will use it.

This scene was from An Extremely Goofy Movie, released on 2000.

But the point does stand...

I'm looking for free simple special effects to overlay onto videos in KdenLive. Things like explosions, fire, and particle effects. Are there any good free or open source libraries for this kind of thing?

The thing that gets me is how often this sort of thing is happening all around us without us noticing. Every online purchase is bound to be doing this in some form or another. Every plane ticket, every uber ride. All designed to figure out the exact cost we're willing to pay for the service.

I'm so tired of capitalism...

It's a shame, really. A non-centralized internet has existed before and must exist again if it's to remain useable. It's sad so many have given up because of early internet struggles. Things are even far less painful now than I remember them being in the past.

A little bit more emphasis during Star Wars that Vader wanted the Storm Troopers to aim poorly and let them get away. It would have solved decades of jokes and arguments about Storm Trooper weapon accuracy.

A lot of it comes from Tiktok culture. YouTube has started doing it too.

Videos that say "kill", "rape", "died", etc are all deprioritized by the algorithm if not demonetized entirely.

People have been editing subtitles to avoid these words, and the behavior spread.
