Does anybody know if there’s groups organizing already that are trying to cause that kind of reform? Would be good to spread the word if somebody has the ball rolling already. I think a huge portion of the voter base feels disenfranchised by not having an actually progressive platform to vote for.
Is this not a thing in other western countries? Serious question and would appreciate knowing more
The Library of Babel by Borges melted my brain as a teenager.
What are some of your favorite mods you have on this playthrough?
Right, I think this is the point that the above comment is making as well. That the numbers of publicly/out gay people went up because of a more accurate count thanks to a less hostile sociopolitical climate.
I think the point that’s being confused in that comment is that the fear mongering was obviously bullshit, and modern bigots pointing at any increase in LGBTQ+ identification nowadays may continue to use those statistics as justification for anti-LGBTQ+ platforms. Instead of engaging that argument that the hate mongers have always known is in bad faith, it’s much more to the point nowadays to make them explain what they think is wrong with increased LQBTQ+ identification, or as the original comment put it, “Yeah, and?”
After 12 years of drinking daily, today was the first day where I woke up with the intention to never drink again. I made it to the end of day 1 of sobriety, and I’m proud, even though there is a very long road ahead.
I woke up today not wanting to drink, and I didn’t. And I’m going to do the same thing tomorrow.
Thanks for these posts, they kept the fact that I needed to quit in the back of my head when scrolling.
Bruh if I could extend my dog’s life by my smartphone’s lifespan for the same cost I of course would. Everybody I know would
The first time the government had been involved with an international investigation was the first in which it found the truth in its report on human smuggling of illegal goods in Britain from Britain in early December in a bid that could prove the case for an independent probe of a trade deal that ended a year later with an international agreement with Britain in violation in December

Some sick Pacific Northwest metal/hardcore to checkout:
There’s SO MUCH good modern hardcore music here right now that I’m barely scratching the surface, but hopefully at least one of these does something for you!
Yes, the rumors are true unfortunately haha. Iguanas, particularly green iguanas, and especially the adult males, can be quite cantankerous and not what people think they’re signing up for when buying a 6” lizard for $29.99 at petco.
We picked up this guy as a rescue after he had been surrendered once getting about 1.5’ long and getting more difficult to handle. We knew what we were getting into with this species so nothing has been unexpected so far, and he has definitely gotten more difficult to handle as he’s gotten larger. Partially because weight+claw size results in needing more skin protection, and partially because he is more territorial every year, especially during summer.
Iguanas are super cool, but your average green iguana is NOT chill. Especially as adults.
To answer your question: if you can eventually accommodate a coat closet sized enclosure and are willing to understand their diet, iguanas aren’t really that tricky or high maintenance. If you’re looking for a scaly puppy, they’re almost always a grumpy and terrible fit 😬
lol these comments making the lemmy user base look ooooold, and I’m not that young haha
‘Hateing’ this post for that horrific spelling
Air fryer taquitos has been a big one for my house! A million times better than the premade freezer ones and not much more work if you have a protein cooked already or as a leftover.
I base my approach off this But I have used all sorts of proteins instead and it’s always a great meal.
Getting more anxious arbitrarily when high would also support their statement. They didn’t say that getting less anxious was what indicated a disconnection between feelings and reality
Yeah I agree - as a small time gigging musician, fuck scalpers and also fuck government overreach here. Anything that hurts scalpers (in all fields, but tickets especially) is interesting to me and the average concert goer, but if it comes at the cost of broadly limiting the used music gear market, among thousands of other used equipment communities, it’s misdirected legislature at best.
The companies and systems that enable scalping and customer extortion such as Live Nation absolutely need to be limited and restricted, but setting a broad limit across all secondhand sales at $600 when it was previously $20,000 is an inaccurate miscorrection. More informed and nuanced legislature is necessary
The space combat and flight capability in general being a watered down version of Elite’s is definitely my biggest complaint. I’m perfectly happy doing space-chores as gameplay and have really enjoyed bumbling my way between radiant quests and random buildings I find while scanning planets, but I want to land the ship dammit. So much of Elite I found incredibly boring but kept coming back for a long time for the flight/space combat.
I get why they did it that way to make it more accessible to a wider audience (my partner for instance cannot begin to agree with me wanting the flight to be more complicated), but the space genre has often had a huge overlap with flight sim fans for good reason. I hope a very capable modder with far more time and skill than me can implement a more robust space flight experience in there one day.
Who gives a shit what he looks like. Focus on the real problems instead of being childish like the conservatives.
