I have a sticker on my debit card that makes it look like a Blockbuster card. I get so many confused looks when I had it to cashiers.

I get zero pleasure from cocaine. It’s literally just a tool to keep drinking. (NB: don’t do this. It’s terrible for your heart) But for some of my friends it’s the end-all, be-all. They wanna do lines all weekend and I’m just like, “why?”

If sea levels rise as much as they’re supposed to, this will be an invaluable tool for an enormous proportion of the country. My concern comes from capitalism getting its hooks into this.

Imagine if poor Vaporeon could do the same…

Article doesn’t mention what the unit does with the salt waste.

I support this 100%, but desalination presents a unique problem: what do we do with all the salt? Maybe the unit uses it for something, but otherwise it just miniaturizes a problem that we’re already working on.

Pros, cont’d:

  • The increased emissions from the yachts will accelerate climate change, making MORE waterfront; it’s a problem that solves itself!
  • More waterfront = higher property values; yachts also lift everyone out of poverty, ezpz

Food banks. Look at your local church, synagogue, or mosque. A lot of them do community outreach and have some kind of food bank.

If you’re skipping meals or you have $5 'til next Friday, the food bank is for you. Don’t feel like you’re taking something away from someone “more needy.” It’s you. You’re needy. Take the help. That was a hard lesson to learn in my 20s.

I don’t think they’re unaware of that at all. Until those kids become criminals, most of them will have to survive somehow. Given their presumed lack of education and prospects, that means meat to throw in the “entry level” grinder.

I see you’ve never had a partner with ADHD! Going around collecting all the half-drank water glasses in our household used to be a full-time job.

Lemmy isn’t “too extreme,” a very small subset of Lemmings are just fucking insufferable.
