Endive it will. It’s as if her ice bergled the rest of her face.

Ok, so I am all about working to resolve climate change, very active in the movement even.
But gosh golly gee, can we talk about that particular websites UI for a moment? I do not need a roll ad every 3 seconds. And I really do not need to know that one weird trick on how to get rats to like me.
Again, all for the climate. I’m saying this as I just walked 45 minutes to go grab my lunch. Totally on board with more buses and trains. Big advocate of a Citizens Climate Lobby. Doing my part, hope you do too.
Keep the rats the f away from me!
Or perhaps it’s like wastewater treatment, where we collectively realized we all poop and somehow we need to clean up the waste to still have clean water.
And that scientists name? Albert Einstein.
It won’t be him if he attends anyway. He’s too much a coward to go himself.
But you and me and sunzu up there and the rest of us combined on this thread do make a difference. You matter.
Don’t allow perfect to be the enemy of the good.
I take it you don’t recycle then eh? Paper and cans just aren’t worth your time.
It’s all the corporations fault, we’re totally not complicit in the degradation process as well.
And y’all call me deluded…

It’s easy to hate on Boeing. Yea, they done f-ed up a few times and upper management made some very poor decisions, but there are 10s of thousands of people who work there and it’s a good manufacturing job in a country that used to pride itself on manufacturing. We can’t all be service workers, and I’d venture that, given the way you present yourself online, you’re probably not someone who is resting on their laurels either.
Now, back to stocks. It’s also quite simple to throw a slick quip about how the big bad shareholder bogeyman is ruining our country, but, unless you’re among the minority in this country, you likely own some stock in some company, somehow. The shareholders are us.
But therein gives us a lot of power. Many shares are voting shares. We could, if we all chose to, enact the corporate change we wish to see. And coincidentally enough, there are people precisely doing that kind of good work. Look up the philosophy behind ESG, it is becoming a thing. Or certified B corps. Likewise, many countries require unions to have a seat on their board; unfortunately for now, the US isn’t one of them, but that could change.
Or, ya know, we could just be dismissive and scapegoat our problems. That’s life, we get to choose our own adventure.
TIL the pensioners who are part of CALPERS are parasites.
So then they’ll move here, not such a bad deal.
But then, who makes sure that ActivityPub doesn’t sell out?
Found the matrix right here guys.
Yuge! > here, you forgot this.
Assassinating someone in cold blood in Berlin’s main public square, then not cooperating with authorities, garnering a whole lot of brownie points from authoritarian leader Putin….
These are not the values we should encourage nor emulate.
I’d suspect there’s a high correlation with better birth control options.
In the 90s, women had to be diligent to take a pill every day. Hell, I can’t even be trusted to take a pain pill when I have a headache.
I can’t tell you how many times an SO and I had a scare because she forgot to take a pill for a few days. I think this is doubly so when you’re in your late teens/early 20s and still don’t have a good understanding of risk.
Now, women can get an injection that lasts 3-6 months, or an implant that works for years.
So we’ve lowered our risk significantly and now it’s more skewed towards family planning. I think that’s a great thing - let the people who want to have kids have them, let the rest live out their lives how they envision it.
But family planning is tough and there are important factors that others have mentioned in their comments here. Money, opportunity, timing, support. I didn’t start having kids until my 40s, but if things had lined up better, I certainly would have preferred to be a Dad a little sooner.
No, they don’t understand. They’d rather just sit in their basements and complain on the Internet rather than get out into the light and actually try to effect the change they wish to see.
Humility and dedication. This is the kind of person who should be running for political office.
Ultimate power ultimately corrupts. It doesn’t matter whether it comes from capital or community.
We must have a way to audit, it’s a tool that helps keep power in check. How do you audit handshakes and wink/nods?
Kamala Kamala Kamala Kamala For president She’s got my vote She’s got my voooooote!
We elect people to make decisions, that’s the whole concept behind representative government. We vote people in at the federal level who are supposed to protect us - it is one of their key responsibilities according to the constitution.
I understand that the concept of representative governance may be lost on people who have little say on those who govern them.
And just to be clear, no, ours is not a perfect system either. I’d prefer ranked choice to FPP voting, but even that has flaws.
