Oh thank fuck he's alive. I kept reading everyone assuming he was dead and started to believe it. Now what happens...?
I'm very anti-gun for myself and live in an area where it's fairly rare or at the very least open carry is not a thing cause it's weird to see guns in every day life. I have shot a pistol at a shooting range and I remember it being way more powerful than expected. I actually enjoy first-person shooter video games and whatnot but in actual life I don't want one. If I ever had to shoot someone...then I have to live with the fact that I shot someone. Not really how I want to be. I'm sure I'd shit myself in the moment but if it came to having to defend myself and I died cause I didn't have a gun...well I guess that was my time.
Sure, but I think it's about momentum and building blocks. Can't ask Joe Schmo to get to the guillotines right now...not even sure I personally agree with that anyway...but we as an American society have gotten very, very comfortable with a life full of conveniences. I think a lot of people are seeing things falling apart not sure what to do. Attending a peaceful protest is really energizing and hopeful for folks that are looking to take any sort of action. You see so many other people feeling the same way you do and it kind of snaps you out of something and you realize you care and your neighbors care. Yes fighting directly against an enemy is needed but a lot of revolution and resistance is also caring for your community and taking care of one another when systems fall. I think there's a quiet power in just showing up for one another. Why put out the doom message that step 1 is not enough, when it's going to require step 1, 2, 3...and so on.
Which one did you get? I'm curious about a warm water one. Although I feel like it takes my tap a while to get warm so would it even work? I guess a cold spray could really just wake me up in the mornings 😂
Which one did you get?
Looooooooove the Katamari Damacy soundtrack. Every now and then I bust out in the jazzy lounge singer song...I know you love me. I want to wad you up into my life. Let's roll up to beee a single staaaaar in the skyyyyyy
Yea, we have a decent amount of inventory for stores for now...but once that runs out and if this all keeps up it's gonna get dicey I'm guessing. I've stopped a lot of my discretionary spending, but I kind of want to get a bidet attachment for my toilet ha. Never got one during the Covid go round but I vaguely recall that we (U.S.) import a lot of Canadian lumber for tp production.
You could use Amazon as kind of a browser or search and then go directly to the brand's web site. Any particular thing you're looking for?
I finally abandoned it a few weeks ago...after 21 years on the platform. That sounds insane but I have spent more than half my life with it. I happen to be exactly zuck's age so I have seen it through every iteration, first as just a network for college, then with other colleges, the whole "poking" feature, intro of news feeds and pictures, expanding to the public...every time some big feature came out it felt invasive and wrong. Like I don't want people to see pictures of me or know about my day...until after years... it wasn't weird anymore. Time to go back to just not being perceived so much. It had some benefits. I do kind of miss not being able to be in touch with folks from my past. I also liked buy nothing through it. But net-net, all the harm it's done is not worth the benefits. See the details from the latest whistleblower book - Careless People. It's pretty bad, particularly what they were willing to do in China, custom censoring tools for CCP, handing over ALL user data to Xi and a whole lot more. They didn't succeed in getting into China but what Zuck was willing to do has me convinced he would sell every last one of us for an ounce more of "power." It ain't worth it anymore.
Glad to see they still put on an amazing show. First saw Justice, geez, 17 years ago?? Has it been that long?? Maybe I gotta get my middle aged ass back to a show.
I agree as I am one such case. I created an account like a year and a half ago and got so overwhelmed with it I just ignored it. Even the explainer I found was just too much. Finally a couple weeks ago I remembered it given all the Reddit is compromised stuff. I found my login info. I also happened to have had a gummy so I was in the right high mindset to just go down a rabbithole and finally figured it out. I still don't really understand how Lemmy interacts with like Mastodon or Pixelfed etc.
Man I'm worried about measles in the next year. All the health departments being gutted, I don't think we're going to have a good tracking system to know how far and wide it's going to spread. Big outbreak in Mexico that traces from the Texas outbreak. I am thankful that my immediate area is 95% vaccinated for MMR which should be good for herd immunity but there are a looooot of places these days that are below that. Kids don't deserve this and they will be the ones to suffer.
Pumped for The Last of Us 2 and Andor. Andor was perhaps my favorite TV show when it came out. So many Star Wars properties didn't seem to work for me but Andor was phenomenal. When I need some adrenaline, just gotta put on the Kino Loy jailbreak speech. One way out! One way out!
I approve of lump. Would like to touch belly but unsure of risk assessment.
Hey thanks, I appreciate your post :)
Probably cause my eyes are bad. I thought I got it all in there. That's basically where it ends...or does it go on...infinitely???
Good glad to see some tangible numbers. I was a weekly Target shopper but haven't been since the economic blackout day. They were actually doing some cool things after 2020, selling a lot of products from Black-owned businesses. To see them do a 180 is a stark reminder.that they're just a business and $$$ is the name of the game. Gotta hit em all in the pocketbook, it's the only thing they listen to.
