No he couldn't.

"I assume your hand print will open this door, whether you are conscious or not."

Biden didn't just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.

This is one of the worst examples of confirmation bias I have ever seen. The Biden Administration's entire record is out there for you to peruse, and you pick 3 things out of hundreds, possibly thousands, that you think justify your comparison.

Maybe every window makes sense on the inside

It's pretty wonky, but HWRF is a great resource too, but not updated quite as often as some others.

"Do I agree with an article posted to this garbage community?"

As Christians, of course, we recognize that we all have sins for which to repent. Nonetheless, few of us will envy John Deere executives when the time comes to explain their decisions to God.

Totally off the rails.

Furthermore, the brand of leadership offered by former President Donald Trump, the soon-to-be Republican nominee for president in 2024, has the advantage of blending pro-America trade policies with pro-growth fiscal and regulatory policies.

And completely delusional. Trump and the Republican party since Reagan are most responsible for policies allowing the offshoring of jobs

There's also the reality that the Egyptian pyramids on the left were all built over 2000 years before all the Mayan pyramids on the right

"60% growth" seems large, but there are almost 85,000,000 people in Germany, so we're talking about growing from ~0.03% to ~0.05% of the population here.

Lemmy is your job, apparently

I just don't wanna be social and hate the world.

Saying that after also talking about how your situation is depressing to you indicates you want things to be different but aren't ready to try to make anything different. People's life circumstances can fuck with them, for sure, but the only person who can make anything different for you is you.

You're stuck having a pity party for yourself and you've spun your self-hatred into hatred for "the world." Try really hard to let go of whatever shame and self-hatred you're holding on to and accept that none of us are perfect, and there are actually plenty people out there who would accept you and be your friend if you treat them with respect.

The Supreme Court had consistently been moving many issues to the left over many decades until very recently, so I don't know what you're talking about here at all. This is the direct result of the Republican Party, from Mitch McConnell refusing to even entertain the possibility of Obama filling Scalia's seat to Trump appointing 3 justices. There's a dose of Ginsburg's narcissism in there too, she should have retired.

Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can't fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn't be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn't have bobbed its head.

DBT 4 lyfe. I'm a strong believer that literally everyone would benefit from learning DBT skills. Interpersonal communication, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness are all skills people can practice and develop

Buttigieg should be front and center a lot. He's whip smart, a great speaker, and really relatable

From years of experience working in mental health, people pretty much have an "average" mood set (mostly) independently from their life situation. There are lots of people who are really ok when bad things happen in their lives, and lots of people who are dour or sad about things even when they're fine. Ultimately, lots of people don't need any "sips of reality to be miserable," they've just decided to be miserable regardless. Obviously all of this is serious generalization and is not universally applicable.

People be gaslighting themselves into being not ok all day every day

I'm blown away by how many people use apps when they don't have to. There's a reason companies are always trying to get you to download their app, and it's so they can put their software on your phone and harvest more of your data.

So for you, the lowest price is the only thing that matters? It doesn't matter whether it's a shitty product? Or that they're one of the least efficient shippers due to their tariff avoidance strategy, and in doing so are contributing more per purchase to climate change than even companies like Amazon and Walmart?

You might've insulated your garage door, but did you weatherize it? You can get decent weather stripping to go along all 4 edges of the door to block off the cracks. As far as insulating your garage ceiling, it's something I've considered too, but one thing I don't have an answer too is how that would affect the airflow or code compliance for my gas furnace and gas water heater, which are both in the garage.

Also, when we did an exterior remodel, we discovered there was no insulation in the exterior garage wall, only in the walls shared with the interior of the house, so you may be contending with that. We had that wall insulated when we did the renovation, and it made a noticeable difference. I've also planted trees to shade that garage wall, otherwise it gets blasted with afternoon sun.

If I had the energy and time, I would put batt insulation above the garage ceiling and also replace my attic stairs, which are old and poorly sealed. A mini split AC would also be pretty sweet.

You might be interested in watching videos by Matt Risinger on YouTube, he does a ton on insulation projects in 70s-80s builds in Texas

Here's a legitimate question...at what point, in your mind, does a child who's suffered years of sexual abuse deserve to lose every shred of empathy? In no way am I ever going to excuse what MJ might have done, but he himself was also a victim for so many years, and was set up to fail from the beginning by his family and the industry
