Agreed but they’ll need out of this wave of fascism first.

I sincerely hope the whole world turns against the US-Russian axis of fascism. But y’all will have to do some doing to get there.

I sincerely hope this is the world’s last go around with fascism but I’m not so delusional as to think it the case. But I am delusional enough to think maybe someday it will be. Maybe someday we’ll win.

Yeah, their statement made that crystal clear. They’re calling her a burglar.

I think in this case its less that and more absolute delusion

Yeah, DHS’s side of the story made their intentions clear: that woman isn’t returning home

That soft power is increasingly disappearing and is unlikely to return to even a shadow of its former self in decades.

I felt like that for so long before moving and I kept trying and failing to convince people it could work there and that life would be better. Ohio is owned by the auto industry, I know, but also the fact that the 3CD corridor keeps being rejected and the fact that Columbus and Cincinnati dont have a light rail is insane to me. Like yeah it’s longer to ride than to drive (except during peak times) but if you build your society’s expectations around a reasonable train commute it’s not an issue. A half hour drive is mentally draining in a way that public transit isn’t. With a train about every 10 minutes I’m not leaving anything early to take the train, I’m just taking for granted the fact that anything in the city within a reasonable distance of a train stop is reasonably accessible. I’m sure it’s a real schlep from end to end but that’s not the default, that’s going between two distant suburbs, which is always a pain in the ass.

I will say this has lessened my freedom in one way: I don’t want to live far from a train station again.

We also generally eat a lot less rice. I’d say I probably eat a ton of the stuff for a white American (Asian, Caribbean, and Latin descended folks are a lot more likely to eat a lot of rice as Americans tend to pass down certain aspects of cultures from wherever we immigrated from), but that means I eat it most weeks.

And yeah, that makes sense. Boycotting us is the right call, for yourselves, the world, and honestly us too. Financial pain and hunger are nothing compared to the consequences if the current regime is able to take whatever they want without consequence.

That’s fair lol, it’s a great time but there’s a reason there’s emphasis on how you can’t un-take it. You buy the ticket you take the fucking ride lol.

You can advocate for allowing refugees against the regime.

Weird, ohio had them all over

If you use it quickly no, but rice and flour in the united states should be assumed potentially contaminated with pest eggs. They won’t be a serious problem but they are gross and so any long term raw grain storage here should include a freeze period just to kill it. Tbh I’d just assumed thst was a byproduct of it being natural agricultural products, sorta like you gotta check your dry beans for pebbles that the mechanical sorter may have missed

I’ve had that kind of sex lol.

There’s an old saying that engineers measure with a micrometer, mark with a grease pen, and cut with a hatchet. You do the math right first, check the tolerances and tools at hand, then you try whatever seems like it’ll work keeping room for your second and third guesses. Never give the boss their company credit card back until you’re pretty sure you won’t need another hardware run of the day.

Yeah everyone knows about the IPA

My amygdala hates that that seems the most effective way out of all this. A lot of people are lost and angry and get mad when they feel threatened. Some, sure, are evil as evil can be for the sheer joy of cruelty. But plenty are small and angry and dont think anything can be better so they lash out and follow the strongmen.

The dead won’t care why they did it or that they change. But those who live because they change might just care that they do.

All I know is fuck I got tired being the only [slur] a bunch of rural republicans ever met, and I’m fucking pissed I had to leave for the reason I did.

That’s a roguelike convention. Potion colors are randomized. Runes/scrolls usually arent.

That’s fair. My experience is with lsd, where finding out is closely tied to fucking around.

Exactly. You demonstrate to me that a goblin is a house sized red avian, I won’t love that thats the word you used unless you give me a reason, but once thats done you better not use that word to describe a little green hominid.

TNG is definitely your straight best friend who might go for Riker if he hit on him

Wait, yall dont have to freeze your rice to kill pests?
