Ugh I dunno if I just noticed it but the spread of “only x small payments!” financing for the smallest purchases can’t be a good sign

Besides the obvious like surplus labour value being stolen by my boss I’ve been stolen from a couple of times. I had my car broken into once (I accidentally left it unlocked since I had a family emergency to get to), they stole my jacket and some change out of the cup holder. I didn’t really care since I had more tragic matters to deal with at the time and if they needed to steal my jacket they needed it more than me. I was/am lucky enough to have a spare so I really didn’t think much about it. They did leave a half carton of coffee creamer behind though, I was a little confused about that

Either the worsening wildfire smoke blankets (do these have a name aside from just saying its smoky af?), one of the heat domes from recent years, or one of the bouts of terrible snow storms/deep freezes

Ok I’ll admit it, I’m only learning Russian so I can better pirate games and other software. Digital scarcity isn’t real

Their method actually does make sense, you just have to remember they aren’t cops to solve (boring) crimes like petty theft. Why get it done as efficiently as possible when you can milk it for hours of overtime? 12 hours of footage means 6+ hours of overtime even watching it at x2 speed, and it’s the kind of thing you can basically have going on in the background. Cops being willfully ignorant for their own benefit makes sense to me

I’m only half joking when I credit caffeine and cannabis for helping me dodge covid all this time (that I know of, I might’ve had an asymptomatic case but every time I’ve gotten tested it’s been negative). Of course masking and living like a hermit even before covid kicked off definitely helps, but I’ll take the excuse to indulge in my favourite vices

Fun facts, back in the day people would often move their entire camps to the site of a moose kill rather than trying to transport the body any distance, it was easier to pack up and move everyone than drag a moose through the forest and brush

Al Jazeera, Telasur, and CBC for the most part, though no where is perfect and all have their blindspots/weaker areas. Plus a bunch of assorted other sources on a lesser basis (BBC, guardian, independent, fox if I want a peek into brain) and hexbear news megas of course

Well yea, it’s only propaganda when the people I don’t like do it. Just because what I believe and what I question lines up perfectly with doesn’t mean anything!

Really? Your stance is “decolonization sounds complicated, let’s just let Israel genocide millions of people”? As other posters have said, send any dual citizens back to their country of origin, remove settlers from Palestinian land, end the siege of gaza, take down the wall and machine guns, prosecute IDF war criminals, and dissolve the criminal entity that is Israel. Will it be bloodless and free of violence? Of course not, I’m not naive, but the genocide of Palestinians will be much more bloody than any decolonization process

I always wanted to be a train engineer, but being colorblind makes that impossible

Definitely the Soyuz, it’s hard to beat the safest and most reliable spacecraft

If we’re talking fictional I’d say Serenity, I love what’s essentially a tramp steamer in space with little nooks and crannies for less than legitimate cargo

Going by their username I’m guessing they’re from Australia, a country that famously has never been a stooge of American imperialism

Yo, can you pm me with info on that modded Spotify? Thanks!

Oil, cowboy cosplay, jacked up trucks, dumb as hell and determined to be dumber, yea there’s a reason I’ve heard it called north texas

Only because Alberta is the Texas equivalent

I ride on the sidewalk when I can because I do not want to be run over by some in a truck with a 12" lift who’s infuriated by having to see a bicycle
