Also one of the defining traits of our species is our propensity to try varied means of social organization. To act like hunter gatherer H. sapiens were all modeling their societies the same way in regards to gendered division of labor flies in the face of what has been observed in the historical and archeological records.

The Dawn of Everything goes heavily into this and is a fascinating book

The seed they need isn’t just that they’re being spied on, but that it’s personally bad for them when compared to not having the device. Alternatives that may be more expensive, but are safer and within their capacity are also valuable.

This is especially a thing with ring cameras. One thing I do is be very upfront about how despite being a victim of the sort of rare crime that inspires people get them out of fear, I didn’t respond by buying one or a gun, I then explain why and what alternative I’m going with instead. The cops showed me clearly why they can’t be trusted to use camera footage responsibly on behalf of victims when they were loudly demanding answers about my weed bowl but couldn’t be bothered to look at the footprints under the window with a cut screen, instead insisting we’d left the door the invader left through unlocked.

Also, the iron on mars is oxidized. That’s why it’s not the dark gray planet

Yeah, credit unions are awesome and anyone not in one in good standing should join one. This idea however is nuts

Hell, his beef with Francis is even dumber. “Be good to refugees” is one of the most basic and consistent expectations placed on Christians. Jesus said to do it without room for interpretation, as does the old testament

Catholics have the worst converts lol, they expect it to be a more aesthetic protestantism witn extra ritual, but then are shocked when they’re expected to listen to the magesterium and engage with theology in an educated manner without playing protestant calvinball, especially if they’re going to disagree with the magesterium

And that’s why francis had to clarify that he wasn’t speaking infallibly when he said he hoped hell was empty

The man converted to catholicism then within a few years was beefing with two popes in a row on basic catholicism.

Ah I see the problem. Too low dose of atropa belladonna

It’s not a choice I’d personally make, but it’s often associated with mental illness or a deep feeling of the need to be free (especially in young people). For the former it’s associated with PTSD and feeling like if you no longer fit into normal life. For the latter it’s kinda like backpacking across Europe, but across whatever continent you’re on, often staying at punk houses and squats along the way.

I have to assume some people still hop trains. At the very least some crust punk squatter types probably do

This is some severance ass bullshit

That’s punk as hell

He’s not wrong. It’ll be a really shitty journey as it’s just voluntary homelessness, but you can choose to live as a hobo if you’re brave enough. And if you’re brave enough you can cross borders without permission. Not a good idea at all, lots of walking, hunger, sleeping outside, and hiding from authorities, but hey, you can.

Yeah unions are a better deal for everyone. I hope the business owners come around to that as workers acting on discontent increases

You can still make coal, it just involves bogs hostile to decomposers these days

A lot of things are older than furniture. Furniture dates to the pleistocene at the earliest.

Star trek is one of the first TV series to get a serious fanfic community. It’s just that that happened in the zine era.

Old desktops that the it guy at a previous job showed me how to request
