This is great! I’m glad it includes provisions for changing zoning laws, that seems to be a major reason for housing shortage in many areas.

This is the answer

This is awesome! Now the IRS just needs to send me my already completed taxes that I just verify, sign, and return, like they do in Sweden.

The app is objectively terrible. Barely useable.

I mean, people definitely have bad trips too, sometimes connected to the current situation and sometimes not. And even on MDMA, you can get scared and freaked out if the situation turns bad. I wouldn’t say it’s a disconnect between how you feel and how it’s going, more that perceptions can be distorted and make you over or under respond to information/stimuli 🤔

Purrl with a curled tailing

We need more investigations into these kinds of domestic terror networks.

Holy shit I need blacklight jewelry! I got lab alexandrite and lab moissanite for my wedding ring, but I didn’t know I could get SCIENCE gems! And I do a ton of confocal microscopy where we use dichroic for splitting the wavelengths! Thank you for this link, I’m def buying all my jewelry from here from now on!

Flop flop flop 🍆 👀

Good point! Thanks 👍🏻

Wouldn’t the plastic straw melt in the hot tea? Maybe need metal or silicone straw adapter hooked onto plastic straw in heat exchanger 🤔

Thank you kind internet stranger for wasting your own time to save the rest of us from wasting more time 🕰️

Yes, I am you! You are us! Maybe we can be each others future selves and remind us when the Near Future is Right Now so we don’t forget things 😺💡😎

It’s late here and I got the midnight zoomies 😆

Omg you’ve described my brain to a T! 😆

The future is always some nebulous thing where some stuff is going to happen, but it’s not Right Now. Who knows when those future things will jump out of Future Land and become Right Now? Like, I literally got a C in pre calculus even though I Aced every exam, because I forgot to do my homework. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thankfully smartphones with calendars and alarms now exist!

But navigation? I can find my way back to a place I visited just once. I never get lost, so at least I have that superpower 😅 🗺️

I grew up poor (rural Arizona, living in a trailer we couldn’t afford to heat in the winter, mom worked at Walmart, dad was a mechanic, just to paint a picture of what I mean). Both my parents are more progressive, we moved from the Bay Area of California when I was ten because we couldn’t afford it and also so they could get away from their druggie friends circle. Thankfully I liked science and had people who encouraged me, and I now have a PhD in molecular biology and my partner does computer programming and makes a lot.

But before I decided on science, my progressive parents + being poor + Intro Philosophy + Against Me anarcho-syndicalist punk rock made me want to major in some combo of history, economics, and political science so I could change/overthrow the system from within. I still have the anarchy tattoos behind my ears, though! But I think Scandinavian style Democratic socialism is better suited to modern technological society.

And now I’m in academia, most people here grew up middle class or upper middle class, and the entitlement is mind boggling sometimes. I’m learning more and more how to blend in with them, my partner is upper middle class academic family. But sometimes I still feel like some of them can tell I’m a dirty poor.

It just pisses me off so much that there’s soooo much wealth in the world and it’s all locked up by rich people. I read somewhere that a study by the Swiss bank found that if all the wealth in the world was evenly divided amongst every men women and child, each person would get like $30,000. That would be amazing! No more world poverty! A living wage would be a great start.

Anywho, it’s late, I’m tired and rambling. TLDR: eat the rich.

Yup, I’m 41 and I haven’t gotten less radical, just more detail-oriented in how we make it a reality.

Am woman, can confirm that I want a non-asshole, genuine, caring dude. I’m lucky I found one. Funny/sad how these incels don’t just ask WOMEN what we want (like we don’t know?), they ask other men. These incels need to lurk in women’s online spaces for a few months, it’s free and more representative of women than the bs from spewing from these pickup fartists

This about sums it up

I like that approach where you just assume that the person who cut you off REALLY has to poop and is rushing to get to the bathroom 😄

I also feel like Lemmy is less toxic and therefore more enjoyable. On Reddit I would never browse the default front page or r/all because it’s a cesspool, but I can browse All on Lemmy and it’s quite enjoyable. That’s actually how I found this thread 🙂
