  • I don't mind them but I also don't usually watch them.

  • Trans people: I don't care which sportball team you play on or what bathroom you use, just wash your hands when you're done.

    Whatever is in your pants is none of my business unless you're trying to make it my business (in which case, I'm flattered, but in a monogamous relationship, sorry).

  • These assholes should get carried away to jail.

  • Not exactly what you're after but William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy is pretty close minus the small population and only small parts of the population live in some sort of paradise. There's also Burning Chrome, which is set in the same universe but is a series of short stories. It's a dystopian near future sci-fi noir that is considered to have basically started the whole cyberpunk genre. Punchy writing, would recommend.

  • Well, shit.

  • This phenomenon is called "semantic satiation".

  • Hail Eris.

  • Ah, they lost their instance for a while there.

  • Kinda but some places are way worse than others (Hexbear, .ml, and lemmygrad come to mind as the most egregious, but I think Hexbear is actually gone now).

  • It's almost entirely in the back yard. Good advice! Stuff near the road can be filthy from vehicles.

  • No, the yard is outside.My lawn is fairly wild though and a good portion of it is edible

  • US here: Names are all over the place.

  • Kind of, but I think a lot of people might view them more as take out as opposed to fast food.

  • Fortunately I don't have this problem on any of my personal machines because I formatted all my Windows drives and migrated everything to Linux, which has been a far better experience. Running Bazzite on my gaming machine and Mint on my general use laptop. Also SteamOS on my handheld. Would recommend.

  • Expect prices to continue getting crazier, weather to get shittier, and people to get more desperate: Do everything you can to become self sufficient and be prepared for a variety of outcomes.

    Invest time into into learning the ability to make or get food (think gardening, foraging, hunting, trapping, fishing, raising animals for food, etc.), have a long term plan for obtaining safe water, learn whatever medical care you can (first aid, stop the bleed, etc.), learn how to defend yourself if you don't already know (and if you do, keep up on your training, if you don't use it, your skills will weaken), learn to cook if you haven't, learn to sew if you haven't, all those skills one might consider "old fashioned" by some will become more important the worse things get.

    If you've got the funds for it, battery banks, solar panels, and similar can help make things like extended (or even permanent) power outages a lot more bearable (plus they could save your food from spoiling, your house from flooding, etc.). I've only spent a few hundred so far but I already have a battery bank that functions as a UPS to power the pumps that keep my house dry and the refrigerators running. It charges to 80% in 50 minutes off a standard plug and charges to full off the panels in under a day - it's a huge game changer for my family and we're only getting started.

    Some sort of vehicle you can fuel independent of gas stations is also a very good idea: EVs are great, but if you can't afford one, there's nothing wrong with e-bikes or even bicycles! Hell, my preferred commuter is a bike most days anyways. Another alternative is converting a traditional vehicle to run off used cooking oil (which is far easier than it sounds): Many restaurants will happily give you the used oil they have to pay someone else to come pick up and dispose of. If the power goes out, gas stations can't pump fuel, so even if you can afford it, you're still screwed. Find a reasonably fast way to get around without relying on this and you'll be much more disaster resistant.

    Finally, make friends! Our greatest strength as humans is when we band together for the benefit of everybody, be careful who you trust but don't be afraid to be part of your local community either because as people, we are far more vulnerable when we are totally alone and unsupported. You can go it alone, but it'll be a lot rougher in pretty much every situation.

    1. People here aren't all "left wing progressives".
    2. The Epstein Class is out to get all of us poors, they don't give a fuck about your political affiliation, fool.

    He is smart.

    He will make the ship go.

  • I could never really get into it but I can stand to watch clips if something really impressive happens.
