Thank you. Semiconductor technology has been due for a big technological innovation for a while now, and not just for economic diversification.
The current economic situation is indicative of that. If there had already been more competition across the globe creating external pressure, maybe we’d have more breakthroughs and we wouldn’t be seeing such a strong economic and technological bottleneck
Yes, but the distribution is mostly controlled by the State, meaning all imported alcohol into the State has to go through the government first.
I lived in Mississippi which has a very similar setup.
I smoked too much and forgot
"I smoke two joints in the morning,
And I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints, before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more!"
Plugging “The Muppets Christmas Carol” as the most accurate version of the book. Hands-down, the Muppets actually make some quality content.
Just look at the majority of Persian history
Bingo. Sony didn’t make the decision to removes disks in a vacuum. They know what they’re doing, and they’re projecting it’ll make them a fuckton of money.
I’m hoping it bites them in the ass and the high seas become more known, but I’m worried that won’t be the case.
I was an addict and in mild psychosis in 2016. Doing way better now
It is… acceptable
Also in the US, so many fast-food places have actively dismantled large parts of their dining areas since the Pandemic so they can cut cost and staff fewer people. The food is also almost as expensive as many restaurants now, so literally the only appeal to these places anymore is that they’re faster.
This isn’t because we’re unfortunately car-centric, it’s because toxic corporations have made eating inside mostly inconvenient

Also true. It doesn’t help that the most successful and influential people in this time-frame have also been widely manipulative by pulling the ladder to success up with them, dismantling education, and increasing the amount of sugar and other unhealthy things in our food
This is why tech has gotten so out of control in the US. In the past 40 years, this industry has had so many revolutionary inventions while our legislators on average get older and less likely to understand the newest technology, thereby making them more susceptible to being misled or misleading others. Combined with our legislators not giving a fuck about actual economics, this is how we have oligopolies everywhere in the US with cartel behavior
I had family in Nola, I’m good lmao. Everyone thinks Southerners are dramatic or exaggerating, but the Southern States hands-down have the worst climate in the country thanks to the humidity and heat mixture.
I’ve been there in August, and it and the rest of the PNW is uncomfortable in Summer. But as someone from Mississippi, nowhere in the US has the heat and humidity mixture that the Gulf States do.
From June to September, it feels like you’re breathing in a full sauna when you step outside. You never cool off, you just learn to tolerate always being wet and wondering if it’s sweat or moisture in the air that condensed on your skin
And the fact every flashback of the pastor was in a church of a different denomination lol
And we now know catnip acts on opioid receptors in their brains, so it makes sense to me that this cat would want to stay her and chill sans 1800s flash like u/homes mentioned
…wait a minute
And then the teachers were upset because the class was falling asleep after lunch. Nevermind the fact we weren’t receiving the appropriate nutrients needed to stay awake and function properly
I had a cat, Tiger, who was around 5 when he got into someone’s pesticide in the neighborhood. I immediately took him to the vet when I found him, and they helped him out. He was fine for the most part, but it took some time and some stress to get there. When he came home, the little guy constantly drooled after that, always held his head a little crooked, and always struggled with his balance when doing something.
But he never let it stop him.
He always followed me, and when I was outside he was constantly jumping up and down from things, playing with me, chasing squirrels or butterflies (he was a really, really bad hunter. He rarely caught anything, even before the incident.) I tried my best to give him a good life, even despite the damage he endured. He was really happy, and he didn’t act differently afterwards, with the exception of getting annoyed with me for making him stay inside.
My point is, despite this little girl’s trauma, she may pull through and have an amazing life. In my experiences, pets with special needs, or that have been through a lot, can have incredibly fulfilling lives that ultimately teach and humble you.
