And if you work a job where you have days off or have vacation time, you can organize a field trip for yourself. Hit up a museum, take a brewery tour, go for a hike, make your own field trip. It’s one of the benefits of being an adult.

I call it the sofa lining

Yeah notice how nowhere in that sentence is the phrase “only Bernie loves us”

I say we blame both. People that abstained, voted 3rd party, voted for Trump out of spite, etc. deserve their share of the blame for allowing the absolute worst president in history to have a second term. The DNC is to blame for running a campaign and candidates so milquetoast that people felt the desire to protest vote. Both things are true.

The fact that billions of us still get that right hundreds of times a day is honestly pretty fucking insane, with how delicate that whole setup is

As a lifelong Ohioan, fuck this bullshit attitude. Plenty of us hate what’s going on here and are actively trying to fix it. Try extending a helping hand, or bare minimum, a word of support, rather than ostracizing 20 10 million people on the grounds of fucking geography.

Edit: numbers are hard

Huh. Well that explains why those are my two favorite positions

You know, as unappetizing as this looks, it probably tastes close to dipping a grilled cheese into tomato soup. I’m keeping my mind open, but good lord they need help with their plating.

Well of course it’s not gonna be true when you make up an incredibly unlikely contrived scenario that doesn’t follow anything close to a normal distribution

Would our spooks make up a lazy narrative to cover up for their spooks?

I definitely think our spooks wouldn’t want it known that their spooks were doing assassinations in our country and getting of scot-free, but I have to believe our spooks would make up something better than this

I don’t doubt that, but a lot of homeless people see living on the street as worse than living in prison

You and I hear life in prison, a homeless person hears shelter for life

You could make it so that food isn’t wrapped in plastic and that wouldn’t make a dent in our plastic use.

Sure, but it might curb how much plastic ends up in our bodies. I have to assume that food wrapped in plastic has a greater impact in that regard than LEDs.

I loved going into the Penzey’s near me. Just about every spice you could ever need, and my store had an entire section dedicated to different types of cinnamon from all around the world. The people that worked there were all super nice and helpful too, it was always a joy going in there. Unfortunately that location didn’t survive COVID 😢

Damn, I’m all out of skeptical-colored crayons, closest I have is incorrect-colored ones. Hope that’s ok

Denim is naturally anti-microbial

Welp, that explains why the Netherlands calls these bugs “bedpissers”

Ok dude I’m sick of the “Genocide Joe” sycophants cropping up in unrelated threads all over Lemmy too, but if you’re gonna argue with them, at least try to make some sense.

Don’t support Israel = Jews get exterminated down to the last man because all of the Arabic countries bordering them openly vow to never stop killing until they’re all gone.

Do uh… Do you think every single Jew in existence lives in Israel?

Exactly

The transition is much easier than it was 10 or even 5 years ago, that’s probably a big part of it
