I filtered by local as you suggested and saw it pretty quickly. Thanks for the suggestion, that was a very interesting thread to read.

Wait what vegan cat food debate? Cats are obligate carnivores, what insanity is this?

Followed instructions but verification failed, seems like nothing happened except dick got stuck in toaster again. Using Arch, btw.

Great to see the reminder, it’s very easy to forget!

I love seeing these kinds of interactions

It was this way with our family dog growing up, that we got when I was maybe 5 or 6. Dad finally acquiesced begrudgingly after years of my older siblings wearing him down, and we got the last of a family friend’s dog’s puppies. Other than a few irregular chores the rest of us had of cleaning up after her, he ended up doing all the hard work of training her and making sure she was cared for properly. He had had dogs when he was younger and I think knowing how difficult the eventual loss is, is what kept us from getting one earlier. We all loved that dog but his actions showed he did the most.

Oh wow, really steep fines, less than one year’s salary of the whistleblowers they fucked over in several cases. Less than the yearly compensation of the executives who should be held criminally liable in every case. Essentially no penalty at all.

Deprives creators of compensation in what way? It requires a copy or copies of the book to have been purchased in order to lend out. And, the creators of books see dick-all from the sale of the book. Most of the money goes to the publisher, who acts as a gatekeeper to decide which books are worth publishing and de-incentivizes the production of new works. What a dumb argument in addition to being morally reprehensible.

This would be the same as saying pretty much all Palestinians are bloodthirsty monsters who support Hamas, or pretty much all Israelis are bloodthirsty monsters who support the eradication of Palestine. Do you not see that? Do you really think your statement is reasonable or considered, or are you just trolling?

TLDR: He ate a raccoon.

Airbnb was awesome when it was new. For half to a third the cost of a cheap motel, I stayed with several people in their homes and had great experiences each time that I still remember fondly, far better than I would have had alone in unfamiliar places and even better than most of my free Couchsurfing experiences. Both were great resources for a young traveler. Airbnb has steadily downgraded in quality stays while increasing in price but I still prefer an Airbnb to an equivalent cost hotel, it just feels closer to home.

No, they’ve been saying any fluoride in drinking water is bad, without providing any evidence, and that is not supported by the decades of actual evidence, or dentists, and not what this study says.

If they own 30% of the wealth they should be paying far more than 30% of taxes. After taxes and the cost of living comfortably, they are steadily increasing the wealth disparity and benefiting from a society where they are exploiting the lower classes, especially considering that a sizable number of people in the full-time working lower classes are not ever able to reach a level of basic comfort and security, as a direct result of them hoarding not just wealth but power, and not paying “their fair share” of either.

I didn’t know I could turn votes off. Hey, that is much nicer!

The military ran experiments with MDMA for treating PTSD at least as far back as 2007, I remember reading about it at the time. Wonder whatever happened to that data. It’s been nearly an entire generation since then. In 40 more years, they will admit efficacy and accept a greatly reduced cost to reimburse the 10% of affected veterans from the “war on terror” who are still alive, like they finally did with Agent Orange. No one who is actually responsible will be around anymore, so it will just be a day’s worth of “good news” in whatever the successor of newspapers is.

Yeah that’s much worse than I thought. I also remember thinking, “there’s no way that many people are so willfully ignorant and will also vote.” How wrong I was.

It’s for his base to know how to spell it when they regurgitate it thoughtlessly on all their smedia accounts.

What were the projected odds for Clinton beating Trump in 2016? I remembered it being nearly a sure thing in the reported research polls but I may be remembering it completely wrong.

Für Elise isn’t technically a Walz but it does have a 3/4 feel.
