Community is uncomfortable; when you’re dealing with other people there’s no way to avoid getting mixed up in each others’ emotional states at least a little bit. Even with this comment that you made and I’m now responding to, we’ve given each other a small spot in our emotional space for the day, and it’s our responsibility to at least take that fact into consideration. You don’t have to be nice, but if you want to interact with people, even online, you’ll find more success if you think about their feelings as much as your own.

Eh, I support my local record store. Lady’s just trying to sell good music at fair prices while paying her workers a good wage. I’d hardly call her Petty Bourgeois just because she’s trying to give my community a better option than Amazon for physical media; she’s barely making ends meet at that. Pretty sure I make more money than her just working a normal office job.

Just because it wouldn’t do them well doesn’t mean it won’t still convince our bosses it’d do them cheaper.

My mom fell for internet scams that convinced her to treat her cancer with “vibration therapy” before AI was a thing. I can’t imagine how much more common shit like that is now.

The issue is that when a conservative says “Let kids be kids” they mean “Kids are stupid, let them be stupid, and make choices on their behalf instead!” While when a progressive says it they mean “Kids are smart, give them the skills and the trust to make choices on their own!” And they rarely realize that the phrase can have another meaning.

Sun, cheap prices, and crime!

They don’t like integration, they like America. In their eyes immigrants will never be American regardless of how they act, they just think the American way of life is the only acceptable way of life, regardless of location.

Well, sure, war is rarely profitable for the participants, but it’s very often profitable for the giant corporations in charge of supplying the weapons and other gear, and who lobby heavily to ensure the people who are willing to make up a reason to go to war are also the ones who get to decide whether to go to war. War is nothing more than another corporate profit push at the expense of the populace.

“Ain’t no rules says the dog can’t hire a hooker.”

It said they lobbied for it, which means that the politicians don’t care, so they give them something they do care about so that they support it anyway, namely money.

It’s the whole reason 99% of politicians choose that career in the first place. All they have to do is look like they don’t support something that the wealthy want them to support, and they’ll be given buckets of money to sway their vote.

This isn’t 2 things; Trump is a part of the billionaire class. They’re just not being specific enough, mostly because many of them work for the billionaire class.

I had to learn this quick when I lived in Philadelphia for a couple years. Works great everywhere else, too!

I’d highly recommend them. Their pies are really good too - the cream pies have a meringue crust that I’ve never seen anywhere else, and it’s delicious! They’ve got long wait times, though. My wife and I usually stay at the cabins across the street, so we’ll get our names on the list, go back to the cabin for a half hour, then come back, haha!

If you’re ever in the Castle Danger area, it’s the Rustic Inn Cafe, just a few minutes north of Betty’s Pies.

She probably assumes the landing location is entirely random, which is ridiculous to anyone who has even the slightest understanding of the amount of planning needed for space travel, but those people and the people who believe space travel is fake are not the same people.

Not a fan of cabbage, so I always thought I’d hate these, but a friend made me try one once, and now they’re one of my favorite foods.

There’s a place in northern Minnesota my wife and I visit for our anniversary that makes one on cranberry wild rice bread, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

I get my pots from thrift stores and garage sales. A lot of time it’s just pottery that’s not meant to be for plants, but it usually works. It’s usually pretty easy to drill a hole or two in the bottom to let excess water drip out.

I usually put regular plates under the pots to catch the excess water, also usually collected from thrift stores and garage sales. I try to collect interesting ones when I can, but I also just have some in bulk for when I need a bunch.

For the plants themselves I often grab clippings from people I know if they have something I like. They usually like sharing. If I’m looking for something specific I’ll usually buy seeds online.

Really heartwarming to see us go back to our roots. I honestly thought the system had managed to breed it out of us.

I was very lucky my family had a Mac growing up. I fell for just about every scam as a kid.
