Most of it is all tied up together, and they have no ability or desire to look inward to parse those desires out. So they externalize and project everything outward making it our problem.

It’s also why Grindr pops off every time a conservative rally is in a town. They hate the gays+theys, and also want to fuck them. Same same for powerful women.

Millennials, anecdotally, do get really mad at you if you bring up being part of the Zillenial cusp. I had a whole group of them freak out on me for it once and insist that no, I was a millennial only. It was weird.

I totally understand that! I have pretty small hands, so it doesn’t frustrate me as much as maybe someone with bigger fingers. Cross stitching is super fun, definitely! I’ve got a whole set-up up in the ol’ hobby graveyard closet lol

Picross here, though Sudoku makes its rounds

For me it’s gotta be a documentary that’s interesting but not toooooo interesting, you know? Something with a bit of intrigue to get my attention while I’m watching it, but my interest isn’t high enough to keep me awake watching it.

Ancient history, history of languages, paleontology, true crime, fromsoftware lore videos, that kind of stuff will do it. Or, randomly, TomatoGaming vod streams will do it? He’s not soothing at all, but it conks me right out, I don’t get it.

Yes indeed

Was this the fish passing after a few minutes, hours, days? If you remember at all. Was there any controlling for gill damage during the catch? I know some idiots who will hold them up by the gills for pictures, I wonder if that causes damage? Or just dying from shock? I wonder if I can find the study

Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.

Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I’m willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

Continuing the thread to say: consider making shrubs from it, too! Basically sugar on fruit for a few days to draw out the juices, then mash it through a strainer, mix in vinegar, let sit for a couple of weeks and voila. So refreshing mixed with soda water and simple syrup. You can get as fancy with the recipes as you want. They’re very cool to do research on!

So we had this problem, and a plate/shallow saucer filled with beer placed in the bed with the strawberries will help. Slugs/snails will go for the beer instead of the strawberries and consequently get drunk and drown.

But that’s not a fact about trains, that’s an opinion on trains >:(

If you don’t think the same of a vulva, then you’re only outing yourself as having incredibly little imagination/experience with them. CIA couldn’t have gotten that out of me, honestly.

Didn’t the original GTA/RDR writers leave after finishing RDR2 anyway? Another worry I have is that this game will have none of the story/writing that made the previous games great, and is just a Rock star cash grab because they own the IP.

Again, the target audience loves that shit. I don’t know if you’ve watched a game lately, but most of the advertisements now are split pretty evenly between:

1. Jesus gets us ads
2. Military propaganda ads
3. Big truck ads
4. Fast food ads

The NFL is a money-making machine, and it knows its audience. If they’re doing this, they know their base will eat it up, and I 100% agree. Many people who haven’t tuned in to a game in years will tune in to watch just to show support.

Truly, this is how fucked we are.

Unfortunately not. Their fans love this shit, seriously. Remember they’re the same fans who went feral during the kneeling demonstrations.

I definitely get it. Ecological fallout keeps me up in cold sweats more nights than not. I’m not sure most people realize how bad it could get, either. All the trees in the world don’t make enough oxygen to replace the oxygen we’d need if the cyanobacteria in the ocean dies out, and it’s getting perilous with the acidification of the ocean.

That said, I do still see raising a child well as an act of hope for the future. As a parent, that’s my most important mission. Could they possibly die/suffer? Yes, but unfortunately that’s a risk that all parents run by having a child (and all people run by being alive), no matter what the cause turns out to be. Climate disaster, leukemia, car wreck, it all nets the same thing— pain and suffering for your child. I guess I just take the stance of the Man and the Boy in the Road: we’re the ones that carry the fire, and we have to keep carrying it to keep hope and other good things alive.

I’m not saying everyone needs to have kids though! It’s rewarding, but this shit is hard as fuck. It’s not for everyone. Hell, it wasn’t for me until I aged about three decades and did serious work on myself. Adoption is also an option, though harder to do than most people think unfortunately :/

Excellent bit

While many beautiful things are passing away, that implies that there aren’t still beautiful things here worth fighting for. I see value in bringing new people into the world and helping them love it and it’s life like I do. The world needs more people who care fighting for it, not less.

That’s hilarious, 2 was my number one choice, and 5 was runner up if 2 wasn’t an option
