Eugene Victor Debs (November 5, 1855 – October 20, 1926) was an American socialist, political activist, trade unionist, one of the founding members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and five-time candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States. Through his presidential candidacies as well as his work with labor movements, Debs eventually became one of the best-known socialists living in the United States.

Early in his political career, Debs was a member of the Democratic Party. He was elected as a Democrat to the Indiana General Assembly in 1884. After working with several smaller unions, including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Debs led his union in a major ten-month strike against the CB&Q Railroad in 1888. Debs was instrumental in the founding of the American Railway Union (ARU), one of the nation's first industrial unions. After workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company organized a wildcat strike over pay cuts in the summer of 1894, Debs signed many into the ARU. He led a boycott by the ARU against handling trains with Pullman cars in what became the nationwide Pullman Strike, affecting most lines west of Detroit and more than 250,000 workers in 27 states. Purportedly to keep the mail running, President Grover Cleveland used the United States Army to break the strike. As a leader of the ARU, Debs was convicted of federal charges for defying a court injunction against the strike and served six months in prison.

In prison, Debs read various works of socialist theory and emerged six months later as a committed adherent of the international socialist movement. Debs was a founding member of the Social Democracy of America (1897), the Social Democratic Party of America (1898) and the Socialist Party of America (1901). Debs ran as a Socialist candidate for President of the United States five times: 1900 (earning 0.6 percent of the popular vote), 1904 (3.0 percent), 1908 (2.8 percent), 1912 (6.0 percent), and 1920 (3.4 percent), the last time from a prison cell. He was also a candidate for United States Congress from his native state Indiana in 1916.

Debs was noted for his oratorical skills, and his speech denouncing American participation in World War I led to his second arrest in 1918. He was convicted under the Sedition Act of 1918 and sentenced to a 10-year term. President Warren G. Harding commuted his sentence in December 1921. Debs died in 1926, not long after being admitted to a sanatorium due to cardiovascular problems that developed during his time in prison.

Rushing to put away the disposable gloves, hammer, and heavily-scented candles I had out so the internet repair guy doesn't think I'm a serial killer. Very unfortunate sequences of events just happened. Also, I didn't hear him pull in and people come to the side-door rather than the front door here for some reason, so I greeted him from inside the dark house from a slightly-open window like a freak.

My fatal flaw is incorrectly assuming that everyone has the (correct) take on advertising that I do.

Genuinely thought with the way people complain about advertising on their favorite sites/platforms, they’d stop fucking using them. Not a chance in hell

Adam Friedland in Gentleman's Quarterly was not something I expected, and calling him 'The Millennial Jon Stewart' is a brutal insult to Jon Stewart. I hope Adam takes hundreds of millions of DNC money so it gets redistributed across the country via alimony to his many ex wives

Did Windows 11 try to force online login for anyone else after a recent update? It didn't even allow me to skip past it, but went away with a reboot.

One of these days I will cut my losses and accept that I don't get to play the games that won't work on Linux

It's getting to the point where my mind is just subconsciously scanning my surroundings for scrap parts at all times. Hardly a single walk goes by where I don't come home with a lil copper wire or some springs

It would be cool if I was physically attracted to dudes, my few guy crushes had more to do with how kind they were then looks. A lot of my interest is mostly to figure how I rank looks wise, I look at myself in the mirror and just "ok". I do my best to avoid brainworms about this kind of thing but I remain curious but not curious enough to seek out other people's opinions on this. I know there are better uses of my time

My biggest issue with dudes as a bi person is that they're really fucking warm. I like to sleep at like 10 degrees Celsius with a thin blanket, boys are space heaters.

Soldered in a battery holder and installed a new battery for my Dreamcast for the system clock. That went well and it's still holding a charge and the clock's working still hours later. Then I did the same for 6 Pokemon games: G/S/C, Green, R/E (no sapphire sadly). The Pokemon ones were trickier. GBA carts have less room for clearance and also I couldn't solder the battery holder feet to the pads as easily for some reason. But now I'm done so I should be good for Pokemoning in the near-future, yay.

Was Japan the only country in WW2 to issue those cloth neck covers with their helmets, or are they just the only ones who get depicted doing so for some reason? I think the US had them too, but idk about the numbers. I live in a hot place, so it seems like a no-brainer. Did they have some fatal combat drawback, like affecting the hearing too much?

How was I ever a redditor? The yearning to be desperately part of somthing even if it’s being on the sidelines is awfully sad.

Tbh I oscillate between β€œhow fucking pathetic” and β€œdamn, you poor hopelessly atomized soul. Why put so much mental energy into this bro you’re not getting shit once this is over”
