The comments about seeing a doctor for depression are coming from a caring place, but the reality of being without work for a while means it’s hard to afford seeing a doctor.

Chemical depression is not exactly something you can work yourself through, there are some people who claim magic mushrooms can help, but I’ve not seen any conclusive studies.

Fees that target the destitute are peak evil.

Tailwind uses css variables, it’s really nothing more than a bunch of helper classes on top of css, it’s not a replacement or anything.

After thinking about it a bit I actually think this makes sense.

Imagine a bully on the playground, in a group of other bullies who have all convinced themselves they’re the victims. The bully has a baseball bat in their locker that they use to terrorize smaller children who wear blue hats because that means they’re secretly out to get the bully. The bully heard one time on another playground a kid in a blue hat hit a kid with a baseball bat, just like our bully. Every time a bully beats the hell out of a random kid at recess there are short term exclamations from the all kids asking for the school to take away the weapons, even though they die out quickly, the bully takes offense at the idea of someone taking away his only tool to protect themselves from spooky blue hats kids.

He stands tall with the other bullies at recess holding little signs, we dare you to take away our baseball bats! Genuinely simultaneously afraid and empowered. They inflict actual threat of violence because they internally have conjured the idea of violence against themselves.

In this recess analogy, hall monitors would stand with the bullies, having baseball bats themselves and also being afraid of the blue hat kids.

If one day a blue hat kid brought a baseball bat to protect themselves the hall monitors and teachers all immediately crack down on them and take it away, because obviously it’s not for self defense they’re “clearly” out to get the hall monitors.

I don’t think ideologically cops would take guns from people who think like them and ally with them, rather from “rebels” and “others” who start a genuine rebellion against a facist regime. Obviously from the perspective of the enforcement of laws against guns the police are the arm of the executive among the people, but they choose when and where to enforce laws all the time.

Ngl I love tailwind, I’ve been through so many different css paradigms

• separate css files: why did we ever do this, if you’ve ever used kendo’s css stuff you’ll understand how unfathomable hundreds of thousands of lines of css with complex rules is. Identifying all the things that affect a single component is the work of dozens of minutes at minimum, sometimes hours, you have to understand every nook and cranny of the css spec.
• inline styles: fine, but verbose and requires object spreading, harder to compose, theming is tough and requires discipline to be consistent in your theme conventions, almost impossible to also theme imported library components
• module.css with imported classes: my go to outside of tailwind
• scss: I actually really like scss but it exacerbates the complexity and mystery of css, great for small projects but terrible as projects bloat
• bootstrap: basically just worse tailwind, providing only components and colors

That’s all I can think of right now, but tailwind is my preferred way to style a new project, I love how easy theming and style consistency is

The man has done more than plenty without making junk up. Taking this approach just will not change minds or help anyone, if reality hasn’t done it fiction certainly won’t.

I sympathize with the perspective. We already have so much ammunition and intermixing falsehoods just reduces the overall trustworthiness of the genuine messages that need to be disseminated.

Nobody cares.

Your past posts tell a very clear story, I recall the post you deleted, the language and ideas you present are frankly pretty messed up.

You’re misattributing people’s response to your actions as general philosophies.

Some judgements are purely punitive, not intended to help anyone. From a social perspective this kind of passed judgement could hopefully prevent others from doing similar things?

I’ll take one for the team if he makes it to 10 years

There is no way utah and idaho are neutral here

My top four:

1. AOC
2. Sanders (he’s old af, otherwise he’d be first)
3. Tie: Harris (love her but she needs to be a woman of the people, no more real estate conferences and more publicity)
4. Tie: Buttigieg (best orator on the list, wish he was a bit more progressive)

Please no newsom, or even walz. I like Walz but he did specifically say he wasn’t going to run for president during his vice presidential campaign.

It’s easy to confuse friendship with deeper feelings, human connection is weird.

If you’re not romantically into him, you won’t be in a thruple, you’ll simply be sharing your partner with your friend.

Monagomy isn’t for everyone, and arguably polyamory isn’t for many people at all. I’ve seen a few of these work out but it requires very different mindsets and your mindset right now sounds like it’s on the sexual side (considering it exciting) instead of on the relationship/partnership side. Excitement is short lived, exercise caution.

Don’t ask the internet, talk frankly with all parties involved. Be aware that the relationship may already have expanded past monogamy non consensually.

Why not do it now?

I wouldn’t move to wyoming of all places, for sure, that place is hell on earth. The boston metro area is great for aging, especially as you get well into your 80s and your ability to drive flags. The lack of community infrastructure in wyoming will mean you’ll either die or have to go into a home as you age because how will you get groceries? At least in the boston area you have ready access to taxis and ubers and public transit everywhere.

Don’t forget that the politics of wyoming are vastly vastly different than the boston area, you’re going from one of the most progressive areas in the US to one of the most conservative states.

Living a rural rancher lifestyle requires hardiness and support structures. Most ranchers have generations in the same place, know their neighbors, have local community, etc. You’re coming in as a stranger and people out there hate outsiders coming in. It’s an expensive hobby and a hard job.

If you like dust, fires, wind, drought, mormons, republicans, big rig black cloud trucks, and guns you’ll probably like it.

Huh no kidding

We have one in an upstairs bedroom from midea, the window slides right between the front and back of the unit and it’s excellent. Our power consumption didn’t increase too terribly much and it’s actually decently quiet.

Not gonna put the model here but just look for U shaped window units. It has little legs that go outside.

Don’t get the inside standing units, they’re massive, loud, power hungry, and most of them are less effective than even the cheap window units.

It’s your prerogative to choose if you want him in your life. The time right after breakup is always the hardest and we often want the comfort of the person who has been the most important to us back in our lives.

Having both indulged and avoided letting the relationship start back up, my personal choice in your situation would be to let it go. Breaking up hurts, but not forever.

People are sometimes hurt and lash out during breakups, and you’re right to be skeptical of his words, but sometimes you just have to let people tell on themselves and accept what they say.

Found the big blueberry shill

It must be so frustrating to be lower court judiciary leaders today.

Looks stressed af, hopefully a vet visit or something?
