Honestly, the cat helps me on that front. And unlike a child, I can ethically just give her some drugs and turn the TV when I don’t feel like dealing with her right that minute.

I don’t know about all of it, but a heavy watermelon is well watered and more likely to be sweet since it’s had the resources to put tons of energy into growing all season. The same principle works for finding good citrus, you want something that feels heavy for its size.

Maybe it’s just my area but there’s also like, a 25% chance the reader won’t work and you’ll just get a free ride if you try to pay with your phone rather than cash. It makes hopping on the bus a fun gamble!

Scavengers Reign is incredible, easily the best animated sci fi show made in the past few years IMO. It’s weird and emotional and deeply sincere in a way a lot of media isn’t anymore.

If you liked Fantastic Planet you’ll probably like Scavengers Reign.

It’s also common for arboretums (and other museums) to have free days once a month, if you want to visit on the cheap.

My neighborhood is mostly concrete and apartments, but a few blocks away it’s multimillion dollar houses, well kept lawns, and huge shade trees. So I cross the 8 lane highway to get there and enjoy walking around and looking at their expensive shit for free.

Lmao, even

Bluesky has ruined me. And if you don’t know why, preserve your innocence.

How do men suffer under patriarchy?

Queer and gender nonconforming men get an immense amount of abuse due to patriarchy. Even gender conforming straight boys and men do if they show sensitivity in any real capacity. The abuse of boys and young men for the sake of making them “man up” is hardly an unusual in many areas.

Do u really want to be the one blaming 75% of suicides on men not being allowed to beat their wives?

What? This has nothing to do with the comment you replied to.

Sounds like ur calling all cis men evil bad people.

No, this is a ridiculous conclusion you drew from someone saying patriarchy hurts everyone.

Thank god no kids are getting fed at school with that money!

Where do you live that they can’t be called mini fridges? I’m in California and Home Depot sells them here as mini fridges. It does say that it’s thermoelectric, but you have to look for it.

I actually watched that a few days ago, main takeaway I got from it was NEVER use a mini fridge with a thermoelectric cooler rather than one with a real compressor.

Even if it’s 3x the size of the bench, it’s concrete, not a multimillion dollar building, and the community clearly wants benches. If the wooden ones are legitimately unfit for the public then they should install proper benches. But just pouring concrete would probably be cheaper.

Ohh I see, for stability purposes that makes a bit more sense. But it can’t possibly be that expensive to have the city just pour concrete in those spots, or to let volunteers do it.

“Not evacuating properly”? Plenty of the people who died had no idea the storm was going to be as bad as it was when they were hundreds of miles inland in an area that had never had significant flooding.

For one thing, all benches must have a 5-by-8-foot concrete pad to be ADA compliant.

Is this a Portland thing? In LA I see a lot of concrete benches, but I also see a lot of metal ones and in NYC I would see (possibly grandfathered in) wooden ones.

Oh jeeze yeah, that and the sudden turbo sexism out of nowhere is REALLY disconcerting when it starts to happen. It’s a real eye opener.
