As long as we keep not listening to the scientists, no I think there is no getting betrer. A world like ours is not going to get better as the climate deteriorates, and we cannot reign in the rich from continuing to kill the envrioment for profit. So long as carbon credits exist large polluters will continue to pollute and simply buy their way back into compliance. Based on the lack of progress on this exesistential issue for the survival of the whole species, at the very least its going to get a lot worse before it ever gets better, if theres still an environment that can support life left.

“I think you dropped this” and its just a big dollop of Vaseline right on the handle

Id do nothing for as long as I could, only way for me to fight the burnout. Most weekends I can just about fit enough nothing time to soothe the tism enough get my necessary self and house upkeep chores done. Every time I get a 3 day weekend, I find myself productive as hell on the third day. Otherwise I need to catch up on my nothing.

Rivals of Aether 2, they did a week long open beta a little over a week ago, and they release fully today. Finally happy to play a damn good mechanically involved platform fighter far away from the legal clutches of Nintendo. Other than that ive been dipping my toes into Throne and Liberty.

I’m also running under the asumption someones paying for it to be there. Makes no sense otherwise. Literally the start of enshitification. Id urge people to drop instnces that host it as their homes and find a reasonable home instance.

I just view HR as a less educated lawyer who represenrs the company and that’s served me plenty well.

Exactly. Its no coincidence we went from Occupy Wall Street and national level discourse about actual healthcare and UBI, to such debates as ‘is genocide okay?’ and ‘are nazis bad?’ Purposeful misdirection that in it’s staunch opposition to anything left of capitalism, created fascism.

I feel like many forms of anarchism exist on a spectrum that contains communism as well. I’m not the most well read but I wonder if anarchism with some kind of currency can be established, or maybe just some kind of interim anarchism somehwere in that spectrum as the mode of production changes.

Exactly the first thing I thought of after reading the post. OP sounds like they’d enjoy reading about syndicalism.

I can confirm that if you stop drinking water, in 72 hours or so you won’t have to worry about microplastics.

If the police won’t help then you’ve no option but to take your own safety into your own hands. Is pepper spray/gel legal where you live? If so start carrying it, if not find something else you can carry that would incapacitate a would be attacker.

Only people I know because I like knowing who’s left handed among my friends and family because it helps with things, seating areangements being one obvious example. Or so I don’t just hand them scissors they can’t use or something.

Been happy with that one as well. Use it mostly in my fried rice and eggs, sometimes potatoes.

I understand wanting to get a read on how other relationships work, but I’d also like to say wayyy to many relationships are not good examples, and even the ones that do look like good examples can look very different from the inside.

Getting more information is almost always good, but be careful to take it with a grain of salt, and above all do what feels right by you and your partner over advice you got from people who’s relationships you don’t know too much about.

The mall near me used to be a place where kids could get together even if they didn’t have money to spend all day buying things. They made a rule that young people in groups of more than 3 would be treated like a gang. I have no sympathy for them losing patrons.

Disney Land and theme parks in particular aren’t for me but it would be very silly for me to claim I don’t understand why other people enjoy them. Especially someone not from America.

They dont like this one but its real. Democracy doesn’t work if people vote according to falsehoods they believe. Or rather Democracy doesn’t care if they vote like that. Vote stupid, get stupid.

I dont have a problem with the phrase but I don’t think ive ever heard it unironically or outisde of joking situatuons. Which is right about where the state of body positivity for men ends up.

Pro tip. Never tell people that even if someone is an asshole calling them small dicked is body shaming, unless you want all those people to instantly assume you’re telling on yourself and then body shame you for that.

Thy already said rescheduling isn’t going to change any federal to state inconsistencies of MJ still being illegal so dispensarys will still be unable to use banks and things like CDLs will still ban you for life from them if you get caught with weed in your system.

Did I miss it or did no one say Rice Cooker yet? A good rice cooker makes rice texture so much better while simplifying the whole process.
