You’re a real mean drunk, Superman.

This is oil taxes, the target is overall budget. The surge in oil taxes is bringing them to their target earlier.

But yes, the headline is shit. No argument there.

No, he plays the masks.

Obviously the, ahem, climax is an orgy of Weird Als.

And so do I!

I did say stealth sequel, so be wary.

Same author, great story, very different book. I’m sure you will still enjoy the read though.

It is a wonderful stealth sequel to Snow Crash as well. Good callout!

I had only heard of it being released early.

I have been to five movies in the theater in the last six years. Superman, two Marvel movies, two Dune movies.

It takes a lot to get me to both leave my house and pay extra money.

A vanishingly small portion of the paying audience would have been aware of the kerfuffle.

People just didn’t want to pay theater prices.

I have two dogs and four cats.

When I refill the pet fountain, my golden retriever loves to drink from the water as I pour it in.

It’s pretty cute, but I realize all the other animals have to drink her watered down spit.

I am lucky enough to live in Minnesota, where we already prioritize green spaces, and all those leftist values are generally centrist. And yes, the rest of the comment is directed at those in the thread who call us racist Nazis for being Americans who dare resist.

Sock shoe, sock shoe, because I have a golden retriever and don’t want her fur on my socks.

My protest was to leave and never return. I have been on Lemmy since that week.

The drug war has destroyed way too many families.

The left eats itself, but only faster than the right does. I thought the left might unite under the threat of fascism, but this thread shows that the far left and the far right just want most of the world dead. They want revenge, not solutions.

I increasingly feel that the only way to pull out of this is a new centrism. The opposite of neoliberalism, focusing on human rights, living wages, and liveable spaces. Environmentalism too, if that is even possible anymore. Basically things that are hard for anyone to deny the value of.

Work on your negative self-talk.

Each time you remember something and cringe or insult yourself, you overwrite that memory with you feeling shitty about it. It’s a terrible feedback mechanism.

Instead, laugh at your silly mistakes, celebrate your successes and failures, and forgive yourself.

It will take a long time to unwind the stuff you have done to yourself, but this is one technique you can just start doing - recognize when you are beating yourself up and do a little better.

It’s about the remake.

IBS for me is dietary and stress/anxiety related. Certainly worth discussing with your doctor but if it is a new issue, I would not assume IBS.

I thought I was dying in my 30s.

I have IBS and it just skyrocketed in its effects on me over a period of a few years. Doctors had no clue.

I lost my job, went bankrupt, and had a lost decade.

Turned out I had a hernia that turned my IBS into regular intestine blockages. Public benefits paid for the surgery, and here I am almost twenty years later. (Worth noting that I met a woman who never thought she would find love or get married, and she demanded I get the surgery.)

I am back to being unemployed and need some simple remote work, so if anyone has ideas, much appreciated.

…

I enjoyed it but don’t see a season two holding up, should they decide to do one.
