And insurance companies already pulling out of high risk areas!

Oh I definitely don’t think people are taking it seriously yet, and totally agree with you that the climate change headlines are getting harder to ignore even for someone who knows nothing about what is happening with the planet. I hope that people will wake up sooner rather than later, but I don’t actually think it’ll happen until it is way too late.

Eat the rich. You know when people say that, they don’t necessarily mean they like cannibalism.

I guess you must belong to the class of those to be eaten though, so I see why you’d be upset.

landlords have destroyed the housing market. It is no longer realistic for a middle class person to buy their home. So yeah, fuck that landlord.

wanting to be alone is not an anti-social behavior… aggression and wanting to hurt people is… which the op is not expressing. Don’t know where you got this “text book antisocial behavior” definition from.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ People don’t want to hear that they shouldn’t have kids

Here are some of the things we are doing that to us, don’t feel like sacrifices:

1. People say become vegan, but for me personally, that would feel too restricting, so my husband and I stopped eating mammals instead. We still eat chicken, turkey, fish (rarely) and seafood (also rarely).
2. Work remote if able
3. Grow a garden, even if all you can do is a windowsill herb garden. There are so many possibilities you can have. If you have a balcony, you can buy a greenstalk, where you can grow tomatoes, herbs, peppers, strawberries and all kinds of stuff. It doesn’t take very much space, and can be very efficient. If you have a little bit of land available, you can have some raised beds or just grow in ground (I am growing with a no dig method for example). You can also put in perenial plants such as blueberries, elder berries, black berries, raspberries, honeyberries and so much more that is really not going to require much of your attention beyong the initial effort of putting it into the ground and then harvesting once the plants start producing.
4. Start sourcing your food locally. The best way of doing this is finding a local CSA (community supported agriculture). We are CSA members of a farm that’s literally just a couple and their kids who grow 90% of their own food, and feed the local community too. The stuff you will get from CSA is not only locally grown, but it is the freshest, tastiest produce you will ever have in your life. Sometimes it even ends up saving you some coin, because you are not going through middlemen.
5. Learn cooking from scratch.
6. Don’t have kids.

But at the end of the day, you have to remember that you are just one person. Unless corpos decide to make changes, likely nothing we do will truly matter… I do all of these things, because it makes me feel better. Gardening is therapeutic, and you get amazing food out of it. Plus it is a very valuable skill to have, especially given everything happening in the world.

Didnt see anyone suggesting Bastion. Great game and will definitely make you cry.

also humans apart from each other. Our cat chose us (my husband and I) to be her humans, so she’s super affectionate with us. Other humans? She does not give a crap about anyone else. She will never come snuggle with a guest for example, but she will snuggle with me all day.

this is why I quit graphic design. I was a freelancer for 14 years and finally got sick of it. Not only that, the pay is shit now too. Back in 2007 I got a job offer for $75/hr… granted that was in NYC… but now, you’ll be lucky if you find anything for $30/hr, NYC or not.

yeah, they were very effective with their misinformation campaign.

Right. And you are the only smart person in the room. lol.

You clearly don’t know what’s been happening. Maybe actually look into it a little. Don’t know if it’s aliens, but it sure as hell is something weird.

I was going to comment about this too, glad that you decided to instead. Incredible things are happening with disclosure. The fact that Chuck Schumer’s bill includes language on definition of non-human intelligence is insane in and of itself. Insane as in, I never thought this would happen ever. Stuff I thought I’d only see in Sci Fi.

what in the world is a shadow person?

yeah, so it really does not matter whether they are federated or not as far as our info goes. The only difference is how much content we see and how many people come in and out.

Thank you! Very happy it is helpful!

possible that our instance is lagging as well? There’s been a pretty big influx of users on all of the bigger instances, including ours.

I know some of those words…

the gif is much much bigger than the jpg I am trying to upload, for what it’s worth

lmao! Droppings! Oh if we had a vote, I’d vote for droppings. Maybe we should post it in the agora lol.
