Get rid of Ronald Reagan.

Your own, personal one!

💪

I am better at helping others flesh out ideas and expanding on them than I am making up my own ideas. I’m good at troubleshooting problems better than most I’ve ever met. I owe both to PC troubleshooting over the last few decades (from Apple 2e and Pentium II to present). I find that people these days have tunnel vision and focus on short-term gains over long-term payoffs, often to the detriment of future productivity.

Why do we park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?

There is no edge. Just the farthest back in time we can see because of how long light takes to reach us. It’s constantly expanding not because it doesn’t exist but because we can see more of the light.

I suspect we don’t know as much as we think we do about the way the universe works. Once we figure out the missing info, it will unlock a lot more than just the forces at play.

Obligatory, FUCK REAGAN.

Definitely bed. Not affiliated in any way but AmeriSleep makes the best bed and pillows I have ever slept on. Hands down no comparison. It’s the perfect combo of firmness and conformity.

Do it. It’s soft and lasts forever, even with an infant to 5yo. It has only started to see some minor holes but my kid likes picking at holes so he is likely making it worse.

A round blanket with the pattern of a pepperoni pizza on it. Bought it as a funny treat for my wife and me. Our, now, 5yo sleeps with it every night. It’s his pizza blanket!

Wonder if the cables replaced by OP were user-made, not commercial cables, that were our together incorrectly.

Thank you for the information. I may try my hand at growing it if I’m feeling brave this fall!

Right? But they have the power that comes from large amounts of capital so any attempt to label them what they are – hoarders, but with money, not cats or garbage – we’ll never see their ilk in the DSM. :(

What a sad existence they must live. They’ll never be truly happy in any meaningful way.

My issue is trying to get my hands on it. I’m hopeful the up-and-coming trials of this, ketamine, and the like prove overwhelmingly successful, and quickly. I’m drowning in my own to-do list!

I really wanna try psilocybin. Like so much I’m thinking about growing it myself, just for one time, ego-shattering trip to break this cycle.

This could have been written by me. I despise capitalism, capitalists, and if I could, would ensure that every company knowingly polluting or harming people or the planet would be dissolved and their boards put in jail, or worse. I have always hated capitalism, I’m realizing, the older I get, and learning how many of these companies KNEW the consequences of their greed makes me even more radicalized against it.

We glamorize wealth hoarding and that baffles me. I have a 4yo son. I see in him the same things I see in these capitalists. I give him what he wants, say a scoop of ice cream. I get some for myself, maybe a different flavor, and he asks for mine. He gets upset when I tell him to enjoy what he has and that I want to enjoy my ice cream too.

Recently, we got into LEGO and I will be building something, usually just fucking around, and I’ll start to make something cool. He’ll come up and want it. Even with other blocks, it’s what little I have that he wants. Sometimes, there is no amount of persuasion to allow me to continue what I’m doing.

I’m convinced that greed is just a regression/stopping of cognitive development to the level of a child. I would pity these capitalist fuckers if they weren’t destroying the planet and our lives for their greed.

Makes me think, sure, go ahead, build that bunker to escape the disaster you [capitalists] created. Nature may not be able to get in that easily, but people didn’t become the apex hunters of this planet from giving up. Persistence will reap what you have sowed.

Not just Lemmy, but discourse overall, anymore.

I found the guy!

You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you’re questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?

At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it’s your neck on the line only?

Pretty much why I’m glad I switched to Proton. They came out with Proton Pass, which includes aliasing, and I haven’t looked back. So far, I haven’t had any leak. However, I have come up against one, some shop service used by some companies, such as Vessi and CrunchLab. It uses the email address you put in with the first company you bought from. Kind of annoying but not deal breaking.
