Good for you.
I always thought it would be cool to volunteer sometime. I am not much of an activist. I just like to talk about issues, which may be activism in and of itself -- I don't know.
Take a picture mate.

I recently slept in the ol' car far a while. It wasn't bad except for sitting all the time.
How do you sleep in the truck? In the back?

It'll be very cold. Be prepared for single digits or even lower. It can be unpredictable in the midwest but it is not unusual to have a few days below zero during winter. Good luck.

I've found that futon mattresses are the best for sleeping in truck beds, they aren't the most uniform of surfaces. Beyond that, lots of blankets, you almost can't have too many. It's better to be too warm than too cold.

Good for you, YangSupporter. Getting involved and whatnot. I hope it works out for you man.
The other day I saw a video of Andrew Yang standing in front of crouched adult men, and they had their mouths agape. He was enthusiastically spraying whipped cream from a can into their eager mouths. I don’t know what was going on there because there was nothing before that & nothing after it, so no context, but it looked like everyone was having a real good time.

When does the caucus start? I just checked, Feb 3rd. Dam, that's a lot of knocking on doors.

Good for you dude. I’ve got the urge to flee to Iowa for a few months a bunch of times now, but I got too much going on at home so I’m stuck phonebanking.
Make sure you create a thread and give us updates on how it goes! I’m curious to see how a state like Iowa responds to UBI.

Wow man. That's dedication. I commend you, really.
You're planning on sleeping outside in the winter so you can do this.
Just think. With a flick of the wrist, any of America's billionaires could write a check that would outmatch any of your efforts, no matter how many nights you slept outside in the winter. They'll lie to people through the TV so that when you show up at the door, they are so confused that everything you say will sound like Greek to them. The TV will likely even be blaring when they open the door. Maybe you'll hear them repeat the crap they just heard.
Look at Bloomberg. He bought himself higher polling averages than Andrew Yang. Think people are going to have to sleep out in the winter for him? No. Except they are against their will. All those homeless in America, because of a rigged system that funnels all the capital to people like him, go without so his class can hoard all the power.
Kind of makes you not wanna bother, maybe? It only makes sense. Why waste your time? That's why they do that. It's pretty effective at undermining one citizen one vote based democracy. Once you've lost that, (and you did a long time ago), legal means at change become impossible.
You're free to try though. That's your freedom. To flail about while your efforts crash on the rocks of the titanic, anti-democratic forces of the ruling class. That's what happened in the 2016 Democratic primary. The guy who brought us that information has now been driven insane by his foes, and he won't be up to anything like that again.
Im not suggesting you don't try. You should. If enough people did that, we would overcome.
Just telling ya. If you go through with this, at some point what I said above will occur to you.
Then you will become a revolutionary. Because that's all that's left.

YangSupporter hasn't posted in his thread in 3 days and 4 hours. The possibilities are: 1. He's died of hypothermia. 2. He abandoned the crusade and drove home where it's warm. 3. He's found indoor lodging and he feels sheepish about telling us because he said he was going to rough it in his car.
There's nothing wrong with 3 and he should continue posting. If it's 1 he will go down in history as a great hero/martyr of the shroomery.

Its a joke dude and its true in the context of the presidential race. You and me probably both agree that the EC needs to go but as it stands thats an accurate statement. Also Koods if your just here to troll I may be forced to put you on ignore. I will happily engage with you but consider this your first and final warning. I quit my job as a security guard to do this and I don't want you derailing my thread.
It’s not a joke. It’s pandering.
I think it’s a pretty serious defect in our electoral system that a couple early states essentially pick the candidates for president.

I am too. I got involved a little in the last election. I was a delegate from our precinct to the county and state conventions. Was disappointed and saddened by the outcome....see Nevada democratic convention. I truly felt conned after considerable expense of my own to attend and participate. Lesson learned...

Hey Brian I actually did sleep in my car the first night at a Walmart, but I have linked up with a friend from twitter who has kindly allowed me to sleep on her couch for a few days. It wasn't terribly cold though since I came prepared with lots of blankets I may stay in some motels if I go to more rural parts of the state as local law enforcement may harass me but Des Moines is large enough that I can fly under the radar. I don't have much to report currently but the campaign is getting ready for a big push and I plan to be on the ground floor. I proposed that we target rural counties as the voters there are more valuable.
Last I checked Walmart has a standing corporate policy to allow people to sleep in cars in the parking lots. You should be able to find a Walmart damn near anywhere in Iowa, mom and pops can't compete.
I suggest that you get some garbage bags and duct tape, and put up a barrier between your front and back seats. That way, you can sleep in the front and more importantly focus on only heating the front half of your car, to save gas. If you use clear plastic, you can even leave it up during the day for rear-view.
I hope you brought tire chains, just in case. I'd have gotten a whole winch and bolted it to the frame of your car in the front--you don't wanna get stuck out in some random ass cornfield. At least carry a few planks and some cat litter. Better than planks, you could use one of those office chair mats that you put on fluffy carpet--just fold it in half with the spiky parts out and maybe add a few rivets to hold it together. At the very least, carry a small snow shovel.
Make sure you keep some non-perishable food in your car. Something calories dense. I always carried a bag of assorted grape candy in my car when I was up there. Grape because I hate it, so I wouldn't just eat it, but candy nonetheless because it is quite calorie dense, which can be a literal lifesaver when you're snowed in for three days.

It was a joke, each delegate has a vote. If you are a delegate and don't show up to vote your candidate doesn't get your vote...so they announced the results of the delegates while people were still in line to register and their vote wasn't even counted yet. Guess what the margin was....1 vote. it was supposed to be a two day convention but at the end of the first day, the sheriffs rolled in and kicked us all out. Just a shit show in general...

I can't attest to any of the behind the scenes stuff that happened, but I liked YangSupporter. Everybody likes shit on Yang around here, and for the most part it's for the right reasons, but YangSupporter believed in something. He maybe wore his heart on his sleeve a bit too much, but he never came across as malicious to me.
I find the reason of "unapproved puppet" as a little comical. Do we have approved puppets here?

Anyone can correct me, as have never actually inquired but under the impression we can be allowed to have a puppet for grow journals and the like if we don't want that information tied to public account
prefer to just keep it out of public eye all together, myself 
honestly always kept imagining that YangSupporter was an Asante puppet for some reason

Okay, yeah I guess that makes sense.
I don't have anything worth posting as far as grows, my latest Lions Mane block is decent, but I don't see too many threads for that. It doesn't mean I don't find major value in many of the grow threads here, it's just that I have nothing significant to contribute. So a puppet account for me is rather worthless, and frankly, it seems like it would be really tiresome to run a puppet account, manage VPN's, etc. to try to keep the shtick up.

No way it was XUL. XUL was blasting off about being a white nationalist in Maine on growery.

I have no idea, but as a new person it makes me wonder what it takes to get banned. I was thinking about the supporter account but i don't want to waste money....I'm not a puppet!

I wonder if we'll ever know who Yangsupporter was. Sometimes I thought he was a plant from the campaign, but he was always pleasant enough. He seemed to be on this Quixotic quest for a marginal candidate.

Scary part is how many good ratings YS got. He was obviously a troll (to me at least) but he told people what they wanted to hear and tricked them into joining his game, say hateful stuff against your own countrymen and president... and even rate him high. smh

The mods are paranoid and are banning tons of legitimate users for being "puppets" because they dont align with thier political views it's very obvious.
Anyone who isnt a rabid leftist must be a "XUL Puppet" because the TDS mods cannot conceive of a world in which people aren't bleeding heart partisan democrats.
It is killing the forum and you can look ar all the posts talking about traffic slowing down as if it's a mystery
People are getting thier panties twisted and banning people under the guise of being puppets so that they can create thie their own little echo chamber of ideas they like
TDS is killing this forum and then you wonder why traffic is dying
I doubt YangSupporter was a puppet. He was intellectually honest in his debates but because he was a voice of reason advocating for things the mods dislike he was banned
Kill your own forum I'll watch

there are a lot of things that go on here by way of the admins that i don't agree with at all, and i was censored and warned about making comments about Netenyahu and fundamentalist/zionist Jewish people under the claim i was being anti-semetic (gee, wonder where they learned that tactic). i do know where you're coming from in regards to the echo chamber. unfortunately, this is still one of the best forums/websites on the internet for a variety of reasons.
further, it's a private website. the admins have every right to censor and ban anyone they want for any reason they like. just like how Asante doesn't have to follow any of the rules us lowly members do.

Somw peoplea join dates and the way they speak and form posts seemneerily similar to recently banned people. Most of those banned were pretty off the wall like XUL posting burning crosses but swearing he isnt racist. I'm glad they kept qman arpund I actually really appreciate hia posts and well formed arguments. Most of the rest were trash though.

First, how would you know anything about this forum after three posts?
Second, YS is banned because he literally told me to ban him because he was a puppet.

Recently I saw some guy named texshroomer get banned for being a puppet of CornboySavage but when I went to look at thier post histories they were posting ID pictures from opposite parts of the United states and Cornboy had a bunch of shit about oyster mushrooms, while texshroomer had posts about only cubes.
It's clear that these weren't the same people so I did some more digging and found that this is common with a bunch of these supposed "puppets"
A surface level investigation reveals that its highly unlikely these people being banned are connected/puppets. If you do your homework you begin to see a pattern where mods get rid of people they dont like by calling them puppets when a surface level investigation reveals that these puppets aren't the same people.

This is not the forum nor the thread for you to point this out. Either post that in the moderator issues forum or don't post it at all. Texshroomer was banned for being white supremist garbage.

4 posts in a row is practically a bannable offense, but the 'snowflake' mods will probable let ya slide because of Xmas and all, and because you're new and know little of shroomery's ways. Troll on... . . .

Actually, yes, I do:
One 2014 study conducted by a collaborative research team at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom and University of Texas provides some ample support for the idea that smelling hydrogen sulfide could be good for you.
The study was based on the notion that mitochondria, the part of your cells that help produce energy, could benefit from this gas.
In this study, researchers noticed that when cells in arteries or veins experience damage or stress linked to certain conditions, these cells use the body’s own enzymes to create hydrogen sulfide.
This gas then allows the cell to better regulate the oxidative stress often caused by these conditions, which eventually results in inflammation that can kill the cell.
But as a condition becomes more severe, mitochondria can’t produce enough of the gas to keep up, and the disease continues to get worse.
Researchers thus decided to test a theory: Can exposing cells to artificial hydrogen sulfide help keep their mitochondria strong and prevent diseases from getting worse?
So, they created a compound they named AP39 that mimicked hydrogen sulfide. They then exposed cells in blood vessels to it. The result?
AP39 was just as good as natural hydrogen sulfide at helping mitochondria protect themselves from disease.
Early results suggest that up to 80 percent of mitochondria exposed to AP39 are preserved by the gas. This could have far-reaching effects on many conditions linked to cell death caused by mitochondrial function.
More research needs to be done on the interactions of AP39/hydrogen sulfide with other body systems, but early results are promising.
This result wasn’t just a stroke of luck. The same year, a team featuring some of the same researchers also foundTrusted Source that AP39 protected mitochondria from damage caused by inflammation. HEALTHLINE RESOURCES Take our free 3-question diet quiz
Our free assessment ranks the best diets for you based on your answers to 3 quick questions. Potential benefits
Early clinical studies on AP39 have only been done in animals. Here’s what the research suggests the compound may be able to do in humans:
Lower blood pressure. A 2015 studyTrusted Source found AP39 may make blood vessel walls less stiff. Treat heart attack and stroke. A 2018 study suggests AP39 may widen blood vessels and make them pump blood more efficiently, which can treat a heart attack or reduce the chances of stroke. Improve kidney health. A 2016 studyTrusted Source suggests AP39 may treat kidneys damaged by inflammation. Protect your brain. A 2015 studyTrusted Source suggests AP39 may protect the brain from damage after a heart attack. A 2016 studyTrusted Source suggests it may prevent dementia or Alzheimer’sTrusted Source. Reduce the effects of aging. A 2018 studyTrusted Source suggests AP39 may protect cell structures that weaken over time.
The idea at the center of all these studies is that hydrogen sulfide reduces the effects of oxidative stress on cells. This helps them stay strong and last longer.

I think CornboySavage also used the fart huffing line. Cornboy is obviously SlapKing. I know lowbrow loves that one too, but it may not be related. I don’t hang out in a lot of alt-right echo chambers, but it’s easy to tell who does because they all use the same lines and arguments, commonly word for word. If lowbrow isn’t cornboy, they obviously use the same chan sites, /the_donald, voat, etc.
Those guys all have a seriously original kneeslapper of a joke where they pretend to “sexually identify as an apache attack helicopter”. Buncha Oscar Wilde level humorists.
