4·18 days agoI found this one on an image search
1·20 days agoMaybe it’s just because I live in an area that has a lot of people with outdoorsy hobbies like hiking and fishing, but I see a lot of people wear Eddie Bauer everyday
I have a relative that owns a Tesla Model 3 because there is no other charging infrastructure in his part of the country and he bought before everyone knew Elon was a right wing asshole. He let me drive it a couple times. If you don’t use the self driving, a Tesla drives like any other EV. Though, I wouldn’t get in any Tesla if the driver intended to use the self driving.
I use THC to soothe pain. It works really well for that.
I’ve tried THC for anxiety, but it works less well for that. The best thing I found for my anxiety is kava extract. That stuff just melts anxiety away for me and my wife. (There’s some evidence that kava is potentially hard on the liver, so maybe don’t have booze with it)

By a “moderate position,” Leonhardt seems to mean banning access to hormone therapy for trans youth—a decidedly right-wing political position that, through misinformed and misleading media coverage, particularly from the New York Times (FAIR.org, 5/11/23), has become more politically acceptable.
It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible
The most basic principles of socialism like checks notes letting your employer keep extra value from you by turning down extra money and having to work as a wage slave when you’re 80.
Most employers offer a match on 401(k) contributions. For example, you contribute $500 per paycheck and the employer contributes $250. By turning down this money, you are literally letting the company you work for keep extra money that would otherwise go to you. Fuck companies. Accept the match, so they can’t keep that extra money. You worked for it.
I’m a Marxist and want the downfall of capitalism. However, I’m investing in total market index funds in case capitalism remains the dominant economic system for the rest of my life, because I don’t want to be a wage slave when I’m tired, old woman.
I’m a completely normal girl, feds. I’m not one of those trans people. Here you can see all of my identification to prove it. No, I’m sorry to say I lost my original birth certificate, but I do have this replacement I got in the mail a couple years ago. I hope that’s fine 😊
We are so fucked
According to the New York Times, Kennedy claimed that the worm that infected him “ate a portion” of his brain. Can tapeworms “eat” brain tissue?
SHARIF: Discussions of eating brains are better left in zombie movies than in legitimate scientific discourse. The parasitic infections that impact the brain do not eat the brain. Now, that doesn’t mean that they cannot damage brain tissue. But that kind of inflammatory language indicates a lack of scientific literacy and is pretty concerning.
Okay, but what does it eat to survive, if not the brain?
The Democrats feel entitled to vote of young left wing people, but don’t feel the same entitlement towards swing voters and right wing voters. That’s part of why they try to appeal to the racists instead of the people who should be their base, but aren’t because of “healthcare pls

3·5 months agoI’m fortunate enough my work computer allows me access to regedit because I was able to turn off web searches in the start menu. It’s so ridiculous there isn’t an option in the UI to do that.
I hate how I no longer have the option for small taskbar icons. That had been an option since Vista. There used to be a regedit workaround, but a recent update removed it for some godforsaken reason!
7·9 months agoBased on responses from a sample of 342 districts nationwide, the most common reason cited as a main rationale for adoption (65.1% of districts) was financial savings; districts argue they are saving money by reducing costs such as transportation, heating, and support staff salaries (Thompson et al., in press). Districts acknowledge that reducing the school week by 1 day, or 20%, would not reduce spending by 20%, as teachers technically work the same number of hours, so their contracts, which comprise the greatest cost for the district, are not affected.
But the brain drain is completely real. Oklahoma pays teachers around $10-20k per year less than all of its bordering states on average. A first year teacher in Tulsa makes $43k per year. For comparison, in Dallas, a first year teacher at minimum makes $56,000. And Tulsa’s not that much cheaper to live in.
1·1 year agoNo, it really doesn’t mean much. Claiming it’s fruitless to try to make a lifestyle change because most people who try fail isn’t helpful to anyone. About 85% of former smokers relapse within the first year, but if a friend of yours wanted to quit smoking, would you tell them “oh, you shouldn’t even try because you’ll just fail anyway”? I would personally encourage them and try to be a support system they could lean on! Likewise, if I had an overweight friend who wanted to lose weight, I’d support them!
When I was obese and losing weight, I appreciated my friends who supported and encouraged me a whole lot more than the “friends” who tried to sabotage me by telling me stuff like “weight loss is impossible for most people.” (And both groups of friends had underweight, overweight, and normal weight people.)
I wonder what the reactions are of the Amazonians?
