Thanks. It would have been great if it made it through.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a ship with activists delivering aid from Greece or someplace a few months back? I wonder what became of that…

I hope this one makes it safely.

He a dude that likes to play with reflective spheres on checkered planes. Cool guy :)

Only eight :|

Hmm, it could be good. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻

One time when I worked at a hardware store, I was loading concrete bags for a woman and I asked her, “you wanted eight?” to confirm how many she requested. She asked back, “do I want a date??” Anyway, I was too shy to pretend that I was asking her out, so this comment is only sort of about dating.

This post is a good place to remind everyone who likes zombie flicks to watch Fido (2006).

Similarly to what the other guy said, I believe it’s because the ruling class wants to keep their power no matter what. Any burgeoning movement that threatens their hegemony can be nipped in the bud before it blossoms, because ‘the eye sees all’, or at least it wishes to.

Most people don’t realize (or don’t care) just how one-sided our relationship with the government and corporations has gotten. The elites have a monopoly on violence, psychology, surveillance and means. If you were to start a movement that promises real change, you’d find it falling apart before it ever truly got started because you don’t have all the things I mentioned.

A clear plastic cup and a paper card large enough to cover the opening… Wait for the fly to land on a window, and approach slowly with the cup while distracting them with your other hand. When close, cover the fly by pressing the cup on the window and slip the card underneath the opening. It helps if the fly has tired itself out first. Works well for all manner of bugs.

I don’t have a favorite ‘actual’ war, but my answer is the the internal war. Some of us fight harder and take more damage than others, and some don’t have much conflict at all… or at least that’s how it seems. I wonder how much better the world would be if more people paid attention to the inner war and learned from it? Sometimes it’s only as serious as two worldviews that don’t mesh properly.

Lol, I know. I was just saying what I thought then. Nowadays I believe the US knew of a plot, but failed to act for the reasons I gave before. Never let a good crisis go to waste, and all that.

9/11. My first thought when watching TV that day was ‘Bush did this’. Now maybe he did or maybe he didn’t, but it’s clear as day the US was just itching pass the Patriot Act and go to war. Every year since then has shown me this country’s government couldn’t give a shit about poor and downtrodden people in other countries. In fact, the US is doing the trodding, and the poor of this country are also in its sights.

At least we still have social programs here, which is good thing, but it feels like something left over from when more people cared.

I really, really wish the US would get the f out of the Middle East, stop arming Israel and begin making reparations. Unfortunately, those of us wanting peace tend to be meek (up to a point), which isn’t a bad thing. Meek people can be strong enough to build a more stabile society, but a lot of unfortunate things are going to have to take place first.

Spatulas with overly-long handles. Nothing like constanty banging it all over a small kitchen.

Those little lights made to look like light switches, with their weak-ass magnets.

Clamp lamps that have scant threads on the reflector. They like to pop off and can actually instakill an incandescent.

As far as a house itself: installed carpets. It’s everything you hate about carpets, but permanent. They’re especially loathesome in bathrooms.

I also used to make crunchy granola w/ chocolate and peanut butter and cool it in the fridge. It was amazing.

Maybe it’s a snack you like, but not love?

Peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwich. No, was not a pregnant woman, I just didn’t have any jam ;)

Lol, thanks saying what I was thinking. Generative AI seems good at disinfo and not much else.

Am I mistaken, or would it make Reddit load slightly faster and use less resources? I might just give it a go.

Got it downloaded, will test. The swipes feature might just be perfect, since I don’t like the delayed popup on HK (but it must have some delay, or else mistakes happen).

Edit: after some testing, this keyboard seems really nice. A few things are in odd places, but nothing too extreme.
