Having to do online cr’application’s and taking modified MMPI tests doesn’t help.

smells good right?

So like four people in Business class cover it…

Prison labor to cover prison lunches for children in debt.

This is biergarten ready. The shirt is optional.

When my friends tell me they can’t be bothered on a conversation I start. No need to question if they want to discuss the topic or not.

How much I’ve started to hate technology. It’s like I had smart phones before my peers had flip phones. Same with computers; let me go to the computer graveyard room and put one together for myself. My family was very into tech so I had a computer since I was 5.

I think at this point I’m just not into it. Same with cars; I like my almost thirty year old cars.

Just wait until you learn that there’s “acceptable loss”

lmao you beat me to it. I used to do that to so many people. Hey have you heard of this new political party? Check it out!

No thank you.

Yep lol

This just means that no one watches TV news anymore. I have free cable, long story, and I still don’t watch it.

What? My nose is bleeding? I fell down =)

The most effective is if say “essential” workers got “sick” and didn’t come into work. Imagine if the railway workers all got "sick"again. And truck drivers got “sick” from eating jalapenos, which is pretty pretty possible. And an entire school of teachers got “sick” so parents had to skip out on work. All these people would skip a day of having to buy petrol. It’s risky but the chaos.

I think not buy stuff as much as possible would add to it. So with people staying home even for a day would have a ripple effect.

I mean I’m not OP but I have cut down on spending. Started more car pooling. Quit my high skill job, sorry local businesses one less person that repairs pretty much everything when there’s a massive tech shortage here. Started going to college just to find something else to do. Once my health gets a bit better, thank you Taylor Farms, I’ll get a job within walking distance while I keep going to college. I’ve cut down to almost never going out to eat, only when a friend from overseas visits since it’s easier. Restaurants and fast food place are closing left and right here, in very populated area.

I see, as long as they don’t have shitty living conditions then I don’t see what the problem is. I will say if it’s anything like certain bases I’ve been on, like Camp Blanding in the US which was an Internment Camp in WW2… I would feel pretty bad for them.

Yep. Now when the fuel light turns on. Tears

I get that this is ridiculous, but I have to ask how a town of 350 will accommodate 1200 more? I don’t know about small towns in UK but is there enough housing? If more is built, is there a proper infrastructure? As in when I lived in a small town in US, roughly 600, everyone had well water and septic tanks; there was no city like plumbing.

I bring this question up because where I live now, the city keeps building giant apartments and car washes; yet sewage is being dumped in the water. There is a “drought” so plenty of water restrictions. And despite the heatwave this has never been an issue 15 years ago. They okayed all of these buildings, but the entire infrastructure is completely outdated, like don’t be surprised if you’re showering with sewage or reclaimed water and the lights flicker often sigh. A lot of people that have lived here their whole lives aren’t happy about this and there is no possible way this will be fixed even in my lifetime. But hey they just keep increasing bills and taxes.

It’s getting phased out, I guess it’s only an old people thing nowadays. And well then you have eating live squid in Korea; that’s a hell no for me.

I’m not sure, I’m not religious aside from Buddhist thoughts. It seems like a lot of people love domesticated animals, but food is where I can see a difference. I don’t think that there’s not too much of a religious division by many means when it comes to animals we consume.

Take for example, a lot of people look at deer as oh adorable Bambi. I see great, I have to scrape you off my steel bumper, shoot you in the head to put you out of your misery, and then venison is on the menu for the month since it would be a shame to disrespect the animals death.

The vegan thread I wrote in really didn’t like that I wrote that if hunting, shooting deer in where there spine and skull connects is the most humane way as opposed to a heart/lung shot and having the animal run in fear in it’s last moments. Same goes for cattle, kosher and halal aren’t very humane compared to using an air gun to sever the brain and skull and seize all function. There is a difference in the taste of the meat.

Same goes with fish and shellfish. Fish for sushi is basically killed with a spike destroying the brain and that’s why it tastes different than the fish for grilling. Same goes for lobster, you can put it to sleep or do the same.

The first line is a form of self therapy. I really like the Blade Runner line “like tears in the rain” because it brings understanding of insignificance. My thought is llms are starting to show their insignificance to benefit society; not that they can’t beneficial for certain task but overall. It’s just an opinion.
