What if a robot came and gathered all your dirty clothes, made listings for them on craigslist (or whatever people use now), marked up above MSRP or whatever you paid (people will still buy them, even used, even at a higher price than new, if you include a note saying they were owned by a woman, whether they were or not), shipped them to the interested buyers, used the proceeds from those sales to purchase new, identical clothing to what you previously owned?

Are you sure it wasn’t Perdue? The Sackler family did have their fingers in things all over the world, including art galleries, oil and media. They are a very secretive family and remove shit regularly from the internet if it paints them in a bad light.

the purpose of my second paragraph is the explanation, I can’t find the evidence and don’t remember any of it except a vague recollection about a pro wrestler beimg a victim but don’t even recall his name.

Jim Carrey is a serial killer.

I used to think it was simply some unhinged person trolling 4chan and reddit. Over the years I’ve seen it come up a few times and each time the evidence is just slightly more convincing.

So I go down the rabbit hole and seek out the previous iteration I had seen but they are just poof! gone. Stripped from the internet. Removed irrevocably, including references to it from newer accounts and comments.

The writing style of these rants started to show a lack of consistant writing style. As if they were written by different people. The writing style is pointed out as an argument that it wasn’t just one lone nutjob reposting his same rant. Or was it? I can’t find the commentary anymore. I can’t cross check what I can’t find.

Either one or a few individuals are playing the long game really well, or one very powerful multimillionaire has murdered dozens of people and constantly scours the internet clean of any evidence pointing towards him.

The rabbit hole goes deep and looks completely different, yet somehow the same, every time.

Everyone wants that.

I get that your not into the idea of biking. For the sake of the environment I want to mention that I live at the top of a hill where the first soap box derby tournament was held. If you’ve ever seen one of those, it’s a pretty steep hill they race down. My ebike goes up it with no problems other than from cars on the road. I don’t even have to pedal, I just push a little lever and up it goes. This city is 5th highest in murder rate in the U.S. and auto thefts are just as bad but a good lock and smart parking helps. Oh and I have all the balance of a newborn kitten on a pile of fresh laundry.

Ripley and Sarah Conner. My dream women. Sad since if a woman like either of them existed, they surely would not be interested in me. That’s not self deprecation, that’s simply an understood fact of reality. My best hope would be maybe Dana Sculley or Clarice Starling if I’m lucky and 90% of all other men disappeared from earth suddenly, both still excellent role models in my opinion…

Can you pay someone to ride a bike while you sit comfortably in a little covered wagon behind the bike?

The website has zero changes that I can see, compared to when I wrote the linked comment except additional outfits for the barbie jeep.

[⋅] Sewing #art #equipment

Start off small, try sewing scrap cloth A to scrap cloth B. If you don’t hate it and your neck or fingers don’t hurt too much after, it might be the hobby critical post-apocalypse life skill you needed. Next thing you know you’ll have upgraded to leather and sewing fake cat ears onto all your hats or using wire to add strips of stainless steel to leather gloves to give them that sweet medieval guantlet look. Even if you don’t descend that far into the sewing void, knowing how to quickly stitch up the crotch of pants that rip open unepectedly is one of those things you will always appreciate.

I vote in every election I can. I have never had my vote for president actually matter or count.

My state has a site where I can look up my name and see which elections I’ve voted in.

• My first election was Gore Bush with the hanging chads, my vote had gotten thrown out.

• I was unable to vote in the next 2 elections because I was in jail both times. Not for anything that would remove my voting rights, just illegal botany.

• The second time Obama ran I couldn’t vote because the voting location had been moved the day before and I didn’t get to the new location in time.

• At this point I had become quite jaded with the election system. So for the dumpster fire of 2016 I did a write in and wrote “any bum off the street”.

• Realizing my vote may have helped bring about the worst, for the next election I took great care to ensure I voted correctly. The state voter lookup does not show that I voted that election. I did. It is very infuriating.

• Voted for Harris and liked her before she was cool. The reason? She helped a pedophile get out of jail. Confusing, I know. You see, a man had been sentenced and was serving time then the laws changed, with the new laws setting maximum term limits for certain offenses. The person had already served multiple years more than the maximum sentence allowed but still was on the old laws and had several years left. Harris secured his release. That is why I liked her as a candidate, she was willing to defend a pedophile to ensure justice was served as the law was written. That requires an amount of integrity and courage that few have in my opinion. Then a pedophile got elected instead.

As for other parties, the PSL has been very active around my city lately. I’ve gone to a few of their meetings and protests but am not a member, I just want to protest. Next election I don’t think will matter. Everything will be rigged or the results will be ignored. I’m preparing for that. I’m training in first aid, marksmenship, gardening and I’ve built a secluded underground shelter. The shelter is laughable and will not save anyone but it did build my upper body strength up.

I would sooner vote with a brick than vote for anything even slightly resembling the current CiC.

This is a well thought out comment and I agree with most of what you have to say.

The part about data center and water use needs a caveat though. Some of them (but not all!) use a massive amount of water (a google dat a center in oregon was found to have used 25% of the local water supply) and wastewater that comes from the plant could potentially just be getting dumped into the water supply. Companies that are lax in what they do with waste water are what concerns a lot of people. It’s a lot like how mining companies would leave behind tailings ponds, pits full of water filled with large amounts of toxic materials like lead and arsenic. Some companies are only using wast ewater to cool their systems though. Others use a closed-loop system which reuse the same water continuously and use much less water.

To add to the pizza reheat:

if pizza stale, wet (clean) hand a little bit, wipe it on the bottom of the slice(s) then microwave for 45 seconds (30 seconds if room temperature) add 10 seconds for each slice past the first.

Alternate: microwave any non-hot-and-fresh pizza for half the above designated time, then put in toaster oven on the ‘light toast’ setting.

RE soup:

identify meat in soup. Add ramen packet of same animal flavor. If no animal in soup, add any flavor or add tiny amount of soy sauce

Ramen alternate: Add eggroll that best matches ramen flavor. If frozen eggroll, microwave 30 seconds.

RE ice:

most liquids can be put in ice cube trays. not milk (it curdles/separates). no alcohol (wont freeze most likely). Try soda, pomegranite juice, peppermint oil (dilute 1:10 to 1:20 or to taste), fruit juices, soup broth, applesauce, coffee, etc

Alternate for milk (freeze these and add to milk): nutella, chocolate syrup (might not freeze), simple syrup (if it doesn’t freeze, dilute with water)

It is only theft when taken from someone who needs it more

Sticky note on the monitor. Not like I’ll forget “Password12345!”

I can’t offer any good advice, just take consolation in the fact that I have done some of the same, but likely worse. I try to switch to a new email, don’t fully migrate or close the old one, end up with a convoluted mess, end up just checking emails individually. I have protonmail, 4 gmails and a yahoo account. Yes yahoo. Part of that is sentimental, I signed up for it in 1998 and it’s hard to let go. I have a folder of email bookmarks and just right click ‘open all in new tabs’ to check them. As for passwords, well, I wont talk about that. It’s not good but still not worst practices at least.

I have a wild theory that humans needs the full spectrum of natural sunlight nearly every day for at least an hour or so. It’s known already that is creates vitamin D. I think other unknown effects happen and that the screens people stare at are not providing the same spectrum, resulting in a lack of wavelengths that we need to stay healthy.

Newton and Tesla both have anecdotal stories about staring at the sun (or it’s reflection) and being inspired by it as well. There are others as well.

It’s a crazy idea, I know, but what if, under certain rare circumstances, viewing the sun unlocks certain mental capabilities and enhances the mind or body of the person who experiences it in unexpected ways?

I’m not saying anyone should stare at the sun obviously, I simply think there’s so much more to light than we understand and that limiting wavelengths, in my opinion, will only prevent such an occurance, if it were something that actually existed.
