Gotta keep them hurricanes scared.

My SO phrased it as “I don’t think I can vote for a woman for president.” and so they didn’t vote at all.

An issue with the presidential race isn’t getting the republican vote, it’s getting the dems to actually show up.

Shitty stores are still very much around.

It could mean a myriad of things. There’s no telling unless she actually wants to.

Anything from “this person isn’t worth my effort” to “I want to appear smaller/weaker than them” are completely possible. You won’t know the truth… possibly ever. Even if you ask directly it’s entirely possible you won’t hear the truth. Stop thinking about it so much, and since you know that’s how it’s going to be, loosen up your handshakes a bit for her.

I can say I was long ago when it was roughly “women’s rights should be equivalent to men’s rights” in terms of personal, work, social values and features.

These days and especially in the last 10 years I don’t think the umbrella of feminism is large enough to encompass all of the discrimination I have seen through my time existing.

The long and the short of it is people’s rights should be similar when applicable, the same when possible.

I have an emotional support brit I vent to at times, and they in return vent back to me about their day. Since we’re not on the same continent and generally don’t hang out with the same groups it’s very relieving to be able to tell someone literally anything about yourself and know that information is safely sealed a significant portion of the world away from you.

It’s the newest junk manwha “after being reborn in the United States I was cursed with every dibilitating disease but my medical card grants me a 15x cashback reward system!”

I for one would really like for us to move to an open source algorithm based redistricting as seen in this video:

I’d love to see it.

I interviewed for one. It’s was an “electric company” which offered people a “better rate” on their bills. It was a variable rate that wasn’t guaranteed to ever be lower overall.

For once in my life, I want musk to say more.

By going out and being social. For me the issue isn’t anything more than self doubt and overthinking dumb stuff that others don’t actually care about. Head empty, go places.

I absolutely can’t focus on one person if two are talking about roughly the same thing at the same time. The only way for me to take in any information is unfortunately to apologize to both of them and explain that while I’m glad they both know how to handle the situation I’m asking about, I can’t handle the information overload of both of them explaining it at the same time.

At which point I have to re-ask the same person I asked the first time to explain it.

There are always moments in someones life where they have to stop and look around them to see how things have been moving along and if they are moving in a direction which is acceptable. It’s in those moments that one might realize the life they’re living is a bit lopsided in terms of give and take. From there the extrapolation of if being off balance is acceptable to that person given the struggles of those around them is worth continuing down that path. And in the final push of Altruism, a realization that the world will never be balanced and as long as you have enough, then you should do whatever you can do make sure others are brought up to a level of enough to not cause undo suffering.

I am willing to admit that there are a small subsection of people who cannot be appropriately helped as they are unwilling (but completely able) to help themselves, and any efforts to aid them will only make them reliant on the assistance.

Similarly, 40ish hours for an mmo binge back in the day.

It’ll be a perfect shitstorm. It’ll also show the horizon of what’s coming from the current administrations current changes.

I’m waiting for 2027 before I start being shocked at anything happening. That will be quite a year.

I recently purchased Affinity photo, which did most of what I used to use Adobe for. No subscription, one time purchase, and I’ll likely never need to worry about that again.

I tried gimp a few times and found it frustrating to use.

I appreciate you commenting to me with full support and care for the topic at hand. It is quite educational for anyone who happens across it and doesn’t already understand how simple it is for plastics to leech their way into basically anything, and I suspect the reason most places stopped using Styrofoam containers quite awhile ago (plus how absolutely terrible it is for the environment). I’m hopeful for a plastic free future, there are some really good alternatives coming down the pipeline for now and it will be interesting to see which of the various technologies becomes mainstream. I’m rooting for seaweed personally. I also really like the work that has been done with various fungi for form fitting packing supplies.
