Nice to see conservatives were able to rebrand the “conservatives have over-active amygdala and are scared of everything for no reason” articles

The neocons that got bush to go for Iraq can’t believe that Trump says yes to every pitch. They’re getting everything they’ve spent 30 years working for. Next the US will be annexing Czechoslovakia

Last year was my first year gardening. It’s January, so it’s all hazy memories now, but I remember looking forward to coming home from work every day so I could check on now my vegetables were growing and I could take a few minutes and escape life. For 99.9% of human history, 99.9% of humans engaged with growing and caring for plants every day (in one way or another), and it feels good to get some of that back

Love too see icons of revolution being coopted by forces of reaction because they aren’t explicit in their call for revolution but instead represent an ill-defined concept of rebellion and liberation

Had a friend say this in person and it did work for the next 2 times I had hiccups

I’d pick someone who is nice to animals and service staff

Reminds me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. They have an exhibition that has a long rail with metal coil wrapped around it. On one side, the coils are warm to the touch. On the other side, they’re cold to the touch. In the middle of the rail, the coils alternate hot-cold-hot-cold, and when I first touched it, my reflexes yanked my hand away because the nerves interpreted it as “so hot the ‘burned nerves’ feel cold”. Took a few attempts to be able to hold my hands there, and the sensation was very confusing. Would recommend+

Me but with maples

Yeah, all I feel is sad for the lgbtq Ukrainians

FUFILL

Well yeah, NA counter-strike is a joke

CNN and NYT were the major perpetuators of Levy’s lies; this is not just a Republican problem.

Absolutely disgusting. The damage of these lies is already done.

You used to be cool, Sweden

Came here to say electrician. Or anything related to utility (gas, electric, water, Internet, transportation) maintenance. These are often “we need someone 365 days a year” jobs, because they are literally the ones maintaining infrastructure for the rest of us, but those jobs also pay well and are in demand everywhere there are people.

If you’re not qualified for that stuff, consider starting with something like Flagging/traffic control. You’ll start as the poor sap holding a sign in the rain, but you can study and eventually become the person who designs/approves the traffic control plans, etc etc. Pretty much all utility work requires traffic control.

Surveying/Right of Way/GIS, if you’d rather work in a cube

That doesn’t seem like world news

I feel like a spectator at this point. Fully aware of how the system operates and powerless to affect change without grave consequences. Materially, I’m secure. Not reproducing, so I don’t have offspring to care about their future. Fuck this timeline, maybe I’ll get to return at a cooler time.

It’s sci-fi with good character development and moral conundrums. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and doesn’t rely on flashy graphics. The characters are supportive of each other. Like if you took utopian leftist drama kids and told them to make a sci-fi show about humanity trying to do it’s best.

Poverty nostalgia?
