It is very stressful, especially coming from a more rural area. It doesn't get too snowy here, but it does go down below freezing in the winter months. I'll just have to get that room cleared one way or another.

Thanks for the interaction. Things are feeling less nightmarish than earlier.

It was just a small idle chat because I was out weeding at the time.

It's okay for us to clean the trailer, but we just can't throw out anything, and there's a lot of stuff.

We've got one room completely cleaned, but the other one is dark, making it hard to see. Both are almost completely without electricity. It's mainly just boxes piled up and black widows throughout. I know I need to make progress on the room before it gets truly cold, but I feel mentally stuck.

I'm so embarrssed and ashamed for losing my shit earlier. It's like I have no control when that happens. Nobody needs a lunatic living next door. I wish I could live in seclusion -_-

Just had a meltdown in the trailer park. Yelled and broke a coffee cup, splashed coffee everywhere.

Still sleeping on the porch, it's cold, my teeth have been hurting and I can't makeart or do anyrhing else I used to like. If I could off myself easily I probably would.

Nice shot! Looks similar to the Riverside (CA) area.

For anyone not getting this reference it's a fascinating, but sad story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Howe_Lovatt

UN aid operations halt in Gaza after Israeli evacuation orders: Official

A top UN official tells reporters the repeated evacuation orders have upended the organisation’s aid operations.

That looks like a blast, but I'd make sure the weather reports were favorable first...

Unfortunately you're correct. Even if not everyone is funneled into the prison system, their belongings get taken away and/destroyed. Some even lose beloved pets. I imagine it's extremely demoralizing having your life broken down to zero and having to rebuild again and again.

Either we get affordable code-compliant housing or we get affordable shanty towns.

Everyone who gives weapons to Israel (or money to buy weapons) did this. I finally got angry enough to write Biden a letter, but who knows if he actually read it or not (probably not, but I did get a reply). It didn't seem to help much. All the protests aren't helping much. What can the people do to stop the govenment's support of Israel?

Definitely this. It seems MVs with a leveling system either aren't popular, or are too hard to balance. Plus there's the giant inventory of weapons and gear that would probably be too time-consuming to create for most game devs.

I've not seen that, but i will

Thanks a lot :)

Thanks! Yeah, it is familiar...

Here in the US the trash just piles up in landfills or gets shipped elsewhere. Some does get recycled, but not nearly enough.

In other sectors, we've got things like factories polluting poor minorities, and an airforce that can't stop letting their forever chemicals leak into the environment...

Sounds like things are generally more progressive in Sweden, although the recent trends you mentioned are worrisome. It's unfortunate some people are willing to sabotage our future for a slighly more comfortable present :/

Yeah, plasma gasification ftw. It apparently takes care of all municiple solid waste:

I heard that too, but I'm no historian. What certainly is different now is having the internet; everyone who cares is staying informed and seeing what Israel is doing to Palestinians in almost real time. Not that we can do much about it.

I suggest writing some letters to choice politicians.… Maybe you can get past the thick, dead tissue surrounding what remains of their hearts.

Maybe try using a file to make flat sides on the outside of the head so you can use a wrench on it? (Not sure if that would be better or worse than the Dremel/slot idea... you would risk scratching the surface of the object it's on.)

Despite media reporting that she was beaten by Hamas, Argamani went to social media on Friday to say that her words had been taken out of context. She said she was not beaten and her hair was not cut.

"I said, I had cuts all over my head and I was hurt all over my body." Argamani emphasized that her wounds came from the collapse of a building after it was bombed by the IAF.

"As a victim of October 7, I will not allow myself to be victimized once again by the media," she said.
