  xdotool mousemove 0 0

  Replace the 0 0 with your desired coordinates if you don’t want the ‘home location’ to be at the top left.

  Then use xbindkeys to bind your desired key combination to run that command.

  Nah, that particular part of it is because of:

  • Maintaining college’s role as a personal economics gatekeeper, keeping the poor and unprivileged away from the good jobs.

  • Administrators deciding that administration needs more money, causing incredible levels of administrative bloat.

  • To some degree, financial aid (both scholarships and subsidized loans) enables increased prices because it allows them to increase prices more without affecting demand as much as it otherwise would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans be like:⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Gas prices may affect the midterm votes though and they may vote against the extremist right wing candidates and for the liberal right wing candidates, which I guess is a small win.

  And then flip right back when gas doesn’t magically become $1 per gallon and the nazi-pedophile coalition promises them $1/gallon gas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  At some level, college is supposed to be about teaching yourself.

  That said, professors are supposed to help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  At least yours were taught by actual faculty?

  A lot of my 100 and 200 level classes were taught by grad students who were interning as teachers in exchange for free/discounted tuition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨h8ers gonna h8⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, division of labor (at least to some extent) existed long before capitalism and will still need to be present long after. Not everybody can or should do everything for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might as well bring it full circle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are ‘beans’ and ‘corn’ in quotes there? Are they euphemisms for something else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is school cafeteria food in America trash?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes the school food is actually worse because our prisons are much better funded than our schools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not pointing the gun. I just didn’t see the guy who did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is school cafeteria food in America trash?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is in stark contrast to prison food level quality found in many districts.

  Very literally prison food.

  Public schools in the US often contract with companies to provide the school lunches, and the companies fulfilling those contracts are often exactly the same companies that provide food for prisoners in the prison system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So every working person is an asshole

  Nah, most of them are just working for an asshole.

  and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it

  Well, you could also grow it yourself.

  But, sure, stealing is one of the most ethical ways to obtain food.

  Just when I was about to upgrade my router, too. Fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨h8ers gonna h8⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not very feasible for my husband who has cerebral palsy unless we did a lot of expensive setup so he could do most of it seated.

  Well, I guess he can be the one sitting inside and shelling peas, cleaning out jars for canning, and slicing things up to go in the dehydrator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not coming back.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s rough, buddy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  but they’re probably not ripping you off and reporting billions in profit.

  Nah, they’re just ripping you off and reporting thousands in profit.

  They’re doing the exact same thing, just on a smaller scale. And if you got rid of the big corpos, they’d grow to fill the void left behind and start doing it on a bigger scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨h8ers gonna h8⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with Mr. White here is that he’s still internalizing capitalistic individualism.

  “Everyone should grow their own food and be self sufficient.” – Nope.

  “The local community should grow food for each other and be self sufficient.” – Yes.

  Food self-sufficiency is much more realistic on a community scale than on an individual scale. And it can help with all the problems listed here:

  • People who don’t have access to land – can share the land of others who do have access to land

  • People with health problems – can be assisted by the community and still help out where they can (maybe their health problems prevent them from effectively weeding or harvesting, but maybe they could still help with sorting/processing/preserving)

  • People who value food security – with a larger community growing more diverse crops, you’re less likely to have catastrophic crop failure

  • People who hate zucchini – again, with a larger community growing more diverse crops, there would be more options for what to eat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨h8ers gonna h8⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People with health issues are incapable of gardening in some way so must rely on the industry.

  Though, on the other hand, fresh-grown food from a garden (and a bit of moderate exercise) is likely to help with a lot of health issues…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because a business is small doesn’t mean it’s honest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not coming back.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, I should overthrow capitalism today, instead of waiting for ideal conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  *stealing anything. (As long as they’re stealing from a business, at least.)

  You could be holding the cashier at gunpoint and emptying out the register, and I didn’t see shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t wait for the calls from outraged customers demanding that I honor the AI-hallucinated offers they found on my website. (The AI decided that customers were more likely to stay on my webpage if my prices were 80% lower.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is likely to happen when/if trump dies?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And, potentially worse, he knows how to turn the crazy off during a public appearance when he needs to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is likely to happen when/if trump dies?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump dying fixes nothing.

  Well, it could potentially fracture their party between different figures vying to be the next Trump. That’s the only thing it could fix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, sure … but on that note … what kind of maniac would put all those fresh fruits and vegetables all just piled together inside, with no packaging at all to keep them separate/intact and then add a baguette in there as well, just stuffed in among the vegetables? And, somehow, the worst part is that they have 4 red peppers, and the peppers aren’t even all in the same general area, they’re just tossed in there randomly…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  True, true. Less commuting would be a benefit for just about everybody (except wealthy commercial real estate landlords).

  Just wanted to point out that saying everyone should stop commuting is pretty hyperbolic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also depending on how much shit you need to transport.

  Even if there was a store within walking distance, I wouldn’t fancy walking with a week’s worth of groceries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out, spending 40 hours a week driving makes you pretty good at driving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want to be crowded around strangers, feeling awkward and anxious, in a shitty big vehicle that is constantly jerking and rumbling and takes 4x as long to get where I need to go.

  Bicycling would alleviate all of these … except for the last one. (Now it takes 10x as long to get where you need to go. But it’s not crowded, no social anxiety, no shitty big vehicle, less jerking and no rumbling…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  6 hours? At that point, I’d drive a camper to work and just sleep in the parking lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And if we’re going to go that route, I prefer “embrace the suck” as a more fun and helpful thought terminating cliche.
