I only breathe smoke from domestic wild fires and AI data centers.

I watched some of her videos on Newpipe, where it seems like Freya India is an EXTREMELY popular men among older conservative men that want women to get married and start bearing children (preferably Christian children).

I appreciate that she sees the rot in modern culture, but I think she’s mistaken when she associates it with “the left” and her prescription of returning to the status quo ante of traditional gender roles isn’t going to fly with most people.

Time for my daily Britt Hartley mention. Remember that scene in Platoon when the new recruits pass the returning veterans on the runway? Well, Britt Hartley is the returning veteran to Freya India’s new recruit. Britt was raised very mormon and inculcated in traditional gender roles and struggled to escape.

Some of Brtitt’s videos that might be part of this conversation are the one about why women want to become tradwives. I hear Freya validate a lot of what Britt says for she mentions anxiety as a big motivation for her to return to traditional values. Britt’s whole thing is analyzing existential anxiety, and, yeah, the modern age is rife with it, and returning to traditional values is one antidote (though it comes at a cost, obviously).

But, again, I do appreciate anyone that might validate what I think the core truth of our age is: “Being well in a profoundly sick society is no sign of health.”

Feel free to link Freya’s video, the one you’re talking about, and ignore the downvotes. Thanks for sharing.

Dogs do the same! When big dogs play tug, there’s a certain percentages of times they have to lose if they want to keep playing, no matter how much bigger or stronger they are.

How long do your homebrew cards last? It’s hard enough to make good cards at home that I think CardsAgainst Humanity has them publically available since it’s still cheaper for them to print than you would spend for a small batch.

And how do you keep your decks from being overpowered?

It’s funny to me that the same crowd of people that rail against the continued fucking over of the public by manipulative corporations are the same people who fork over hundreds of dollars for the artificial scarcity and manufactured demmand of collectible cards.

Every time I think of getting into that hobby, I get the same feeling I get when I go to the casino… like I’m just a mark.

Keep an eye out for used machines. There’s plenty out there.

I once had a tree
that ca-ame down
during a storm

I sawed it to logs
then spent a while
buiding a Norwegian wood pile

It’s in the form of a circle
and you can fill it with air
though its better to stuff it with rounds
'cuz they’re sure to stay there

Wiiiith the bark pieces I made
theeee roof tiles
for my Norweigian wood pile

The way those old cartoons are constantly in motion reminds me of the perennial arcade fight game bob and weave, so mercilessly depicted by that Gravity Falls reverse-Tron episode.

A few seconds of enterntainment for you, then.

thanks.

still kinda doesn’t work for me, tho–a gig’s a gig.

Earendil-1. Nice see a Tolkien reference that doesn’t blatantly advertise how evil the product is.

If this was part of a plan to get off fossil fuels completely, it would be pretty cool.

Might be more boringdystopia material.

You can see why they hated Chavez so much.

Welp, one nice thing about living in this banana republic: we’ll never be invaded by the US.

Yes, you did mention that, but I meant more the traditional balls-of-the-feet that get’s called “on toes”; I’m not a ballerina.

By the by, my grandmother mother wore high heels so consistently that when she answered the door without them on, she walked on her toes (balls of her feet) like a velociraptor.

I finally got the cross-legged sit down! The trick for me is to keep on my toes on one foot.

It definitely does not! I think that’s why people might be confused, thinking they missed something.

After considering the case, Ms Stuthridge decided not to record a conviction.

That’s the way I’m reading it.

Doesn’t work that way at all in my US state. Every conviction is recorded and you can apply to have your record expunged or receive a “certificate of employability” five years after your conviction.

The multiple device buttons are handy since I often work from phone. My phone actually took the picture, you can see it’s charging stand on the right.

That sounds like the sort of study that lives and dies by how well everything’s factored in. It SAYS it did factor in all the things I would consider, but I don’t know how you’d do that when health conditions and weight would so sigfinifcantly impacting standing ability and be a more proximal cause of death and already easily measured.

One dull gentleman mentioned it could be a predictor of fall risk, which certainly does make sense, and falls have knock-on consequences.
