Same. “Oh I’ll watch it later” then I never do. Some stuff just isn’t interesting enough to really get your attention

Oh I have a half of a zoo here already, it’s what’s keeping me around

The only gambling I do is buying lottery tickets when I’m having the worst urges to kill myself. A little trick to wait just a bit longer. “You can wait until you get the results, it’s only couple days”, and then the worst urge manages to pass in that time. It’s pretty pathetic

Adding the comma actually makes it pretty passive aggressive, lol

Why do you think I don’t already? This thread wasn’t about that. I try to not even read USA politics discussions right now since it’s such a shitshow going nowhere with everyone blaming each other and not doing anything, but sadly I’d had to block half of this site to avoid it

edit// oh, and if anyone reading these gets pissed at me, just save yourself the trouble and block me lmao. In the internets it’s a valuable skill to learn to walk away

Yeah, I basically do the same, I love seeing people have different opinions and arguments and all that (that’s why I read comments at all). There’s just some topics that drain me too much and a lot of the crowd isn’t even arguing honestly, so it’s not worth interacting with those. There’s nothing I gain from reading tankie propaganda than make myself feel worse, and arguing with them just allows them to spread it even more

Nah I’m here for entertainment, and seeing other people argue and arguing with people who support concentration camps is just not entertaining to me. Same as transphobes, I’m not going to waste my time with that shit

Thanks for the post. I got so many tankies blocked

There’s more nuances to it than just conservative. He’s pro eu, Orbán was a russian shill

Same around all the nordics as far as I know. Just a little jam on the side

It was won by such a landslide it’s possible they just can’t really. If more than 2/3 of voters unify basically to say “fuck you and your shitty regime” there’s very little to be gained by bitching about it, and probably even more you can lose. It’s possible the whole country would kinda have exploded if they couldn’t have channeled that into voting

The consistency isn’t really the selling point, yeah. What made the books any good was the kind of whimsy of being suddenly thrown into a weird magical word that didn’t follow any understandable logic and was full of cool stuff and mysteries. That’s a great hook for kids! The first three books do that pretty well. After that…

Zero sugar soda tastes 99% the same as regular

Unless you have hypersensitivities and can taste the sweeteners lmao. Though I have to say that most of regular sodas taste like chemicals too, so it’s not that different either way

My suggestion is always “suicide clinics”, where you can just walk in. That sounds absolutely horrid, but the point is to catch the people that can be saved by intervention. They take you in, and talk with you, go through medical history, then you have to wait some hours etc. and all that. And if you still wish to die and you’re not diagnosed with having some sort of episode, they just let you swallow some pills and then you get to lay on a bed and die.

That’d be way more efficient than just letting people jump from the rooftops and on the train tracks, would save people, would traumatize less people, would cause less suffering; would overall improve the situation. Of course that could be misused, and it would not catch all people. But I’d definitely prioritize getting less people splatter on the sidewalk anyway

Also do a small test patch somewhere on your skin and wait for at least a day. Shitty way to find you’re getting a reaction if you already spread it to larger areas

Why do you say that, what’s the aim here? Why the condescending tone? Are you trying to spoil the fun others are having with this little story? Why??

I’ve never done any drugs (trauma from witnessing alcohol use as a child), but once I had a dream where I just suddenly died for a short moment without any connection to the dream I was having. Like, literally died, there was nothing, I just disappeared for a blink. Absolutely gone. I strongly believe had I not come back I would have just died in my sleep. I’ve never had that experience before or since, and it’s really hard to describe since you can’t really feel death, but that reminded me of it

Oh for sure, I made a very broad generalization there, to simplify the point. Just someone trying to live ethically and using only local products, but eating meat (hunted, organic, etc. locally small scale, animal suffering minimized and all that) could very well have a lesser ecological impact than someone being vegan but relying on imported soy etc. In my experience vegans are just the most likely to even think about this stuff since veganism usually goes further than just being about a diet, but that doesn’t mean all vegans do, or that a lot of non-vegans don’t.

And having the possibility to choose options based only on ethics and sustainability of course is a privilege a lot of people just don’t have

Also just supporting bad agriculture in general, since pesticides kill crazy amounts of stuff, deforestation, giant monoculture fields suffocating native wildlife, producing the fertilizers unethically, transporting stuff half across the world needlessly… if you do anything the “optimize profits” -way things get shitty. All of these things apply to plant based diets as well, but vegans often focus on the whole chain of ethical and ecological problems whereas vegetarians tend to focus more to the personal level of things. So even what plant products they buy and consume might have some big differences in ecological impact and ethical concerns

Yeaah I needed to see a single hee hoo and I was done
