I don’t think it was ever a true democracy, we’re just cycling back to the white male landowner as the only vote being counted as the norm. Another rally at MSG, all the racist rhetoric, all the dog whistles are just regular shouting now

I’m searching and all I see is fridge parts and water slides but good tip I’ll keep looking

Fuck yeah. Jumping and diving are two of my favorite things, parachuting into the ocean is a bucket list item.

One day I hope to see an economy that doesn’t rely on capitalism, and a ~~reddit ~~ Lemmy thread about trucks that doesn’t immediately turn into “I need it to haul cow shit” vs “anyone with more than 3 seat belts should be publicly executed.”

Sometimes it’s ok to have and use the machine that fits the job. Sometimes it’s vanity. How much more discussion is needed

The Hitchhiker’s Guide, you likely won’t be able to finish each of the 5 books in the trilogy in a day but it’s something you can read a hundred times and find a new witty joke somewhere, much like all the Discworld novels.

The Expanse is another that you could burn through a book a day but wow it’s a hell of a story and worth taking your time on each character’s perspective, Outlander is also a good one for the same reasons but those are 1k pagers

Yes, that’s why I said in a clinic. Having someone to monitor you is safety first.

There’s a dozen apps for Lemmy and they all have bugs, but I’m glad there’s people working g on them all

My elementary school had two kindergarten teachers with the same last name, my only memory of kindergarten is roll call on the first day when the teacher told me I was in the wrong room and I had to walk out with the other kids chuckling. Seems like our brains hold on to only the strongest emotional moments be they good or bad.

Dunno where you reside and the legality but psilocybin and ketamine have been showing wonderful results in depression and are becoming more available in a medical setting. I’ve done a few K sessions at a local clinic and I won’t say it’s fixed my depression but I do find it easier to look at things glass half full, highly recommend.

Add in several concussions from contact sports and you get the fun dlc of “did my brain just offload irrelevant stuff or is there a bruise on that part of my brain?”

I’ve got one, syncs up easily with other Apple devices but the sound isn’t great. If I hadn’t had a gift card to knock down the price it would not be worth $100, I’ve had cheaper Bluetooth speakers with better sound and hardiness.

That cat knows the future

Every time I hear Paradise City I see the loading screen, nostalgia for those early days with the 360 camera that gave you a drivers license. Good times and it still holds up, my gf had never played it and had a great time smashing barriers the other day.

It bothers me that stuff like GTA V or Red Dead doesn’t have cheat codes. Memorizing the whole list for San Andreas made you a god when playing with your friends and taking turns. Single player should let you turn on all the wacky physics and crazy mechanics you want

Currently sitting in Idaho where grandma keeps a Ruger in her nightstand, can confirm.

Company moves into a new building, threw a big Christmas party with booze. Most of the management fucked someone not their wife/husband, lots of condoms as well as heroin needles and smudges of coke left in the bathrooms. Drugs and booze all over the damn place.

We got cards and little bits of candy after that, never another Xmas party

Can confirm, family business. From the minute you walk into MEPS till the VA you are just a serial number piece of meat. Anyone who fights for better vet treatment gets a solid 👍 in my book. Some of those “drug addict moochers” had more medals than cloth on the uniform when it came time to clean out the closet but who cares about that after they come home right
