The heat alone is off the fucking charts, too. These are 1,100-1,500F. Like trying to walk through an oven only 3 or 4x hotter.

Would we know if they stopped a plot? Would it not at least be an imperfect deterrent for those considering but deciding against it?

Very well said. My old man can attest to the struggle of running a small-business with a couple employees while managing the overhead of health insurance both for himself, and them.

This is honestly how Democrats should be pushing it: We’re Pro Small-Business. (1) Entrepreneurship, (2) Innovation, (3) True competition, (4) Keeping money within communities… I could go on.

Fly in my coffee is up there.

It smells like sweaty feet but I liked it in my pasta. Good source of K2 as a fermented food

Same here. Personally I thought the British comedy Coupling was so much better done.

There’s certainly much, much more volatility here. Some people genuinely wrongfully banned; some… Less stable folks I think, “yeah you know what, you probably deserved the ban.”

I’m still a bit unfamiliar with how blocking instances and users works. My main concern is: does blocking these prevent me from saving the naive from falling for their bullshit?

Concentration camp warehouses, of course!

Alamogordo, NM. All of Oklahoma.

I’m much more a PB & Honey guy but for both I’ll be honest… I don’t make a sandwich. Single slice all the way.

I’ve always had an excessive filter pipeline that slowed me down. My partner always had no filter. It was like Katara with Toph (but easier than Toph, much much kinder and well meaning). After years we both somewhat met in the middle.

Let’s put it another way: I needed alcohol to shut those inhibitory filters down; she did not lol.

Best voice actor of the game by far, too.

Second this. Listen to this person. There really isn’t anything to be gained by viewing this content that your imagination can’t fill in. The only thing I can think of is if you’re going into the military or medicine where understanding and desensitizarion may serve a purpose… Maybe, but even then. It will change you.

I’m now vegetarian and I have to say I have a lot of respect for your use of empathy to understand their position. Personally as someone who’s been on both sides over my life that I think we get wayyyy more shit than we dish out. It makes some of us resentful being frankly bullied at times as the minority. People are very defensive of their habits, and that’s fine. I’m not so aggressive and understand people change on their own time.

It’s either meth or maga mind, typically, but there is admittedly much overlap.

And just to add, I don’t mean to say that worry and anxiety aren’t useful states of mind – they can help you prepare for uncertainty in the future, but it HAS to be kept in check or it will control you instead of being a signal to action as I think was intended.

Touch grass.

No, seriously. I know most people use this as an insult but in this case I think there is a lot of benefit to re-balancing your time and getting offline. As a general rule, the further away the turmoil, the less impact you can actually have on its outcome. So why build up anxiety over something that is limited to your ability to control? Take that anxiety and put it in your immediate world. Your home, your physical health (diet, meditation, sleep, exercise). Get new hobbies like learning a musical instrument, go out on hikes. Find locla community.

I get one may not wish to bury their head in the sand but you need to strike a balance. If you still want to get active, then go to protests and join local political communities that align with your beliefs. It helps a lot. Focus on what you have more agency over and you’ll feel better. Things like diet and exercise and getting out into nature all directly reduce anxiety and improve mood; that’s a fact.

I think Europa because if I remember right it’s one of the most likely spots for life?

Bernie, an Establishment Zionist!?

hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

Got my new tag for you, thanks lol

I’ll just end it here to cover my bases: Slava Ukraini, fuck Xi, fuck Putin, fuck the Ayatollah and IRGC, fuck the Saudis, and yes of course fuck Bibi and Trump.
