  • It's extremely unlikely that social security will still exist by the time we're old enough to retire, so retirement will be yet another thing reserved for the rich.

    Unless you live in a civilized country (not the US) in which case enjoy your retirement you lucky bastard.

  • Just watched Dune 2

    Jump

  • The two leads are some of the worst casting I've ever seen in a major production. Zendaya should've been nominated for a razzie. I can't take either of them seriously.

  • A skill or knowledge that you have that is typically associated with people of the opposite gender but that you think is odd or stupid that people of your own gender don't have?

    Jump

  • It's absolutely wild that the ability to cry when you need to is considered to be a trait exclusive to women. It's absolutely essential for a healthy mind, and I've gotten quite good at it despite my useless Y chromosome.

  • It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?

    Jump

  • I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. I did get lucky in the sense that I had one good enough parent, which is honestly probably while I'm still alive and doing alright. I still talk to my Mom on a weekly basis. She had a lot of unwinding to do after her divorce. It's tricky to get an abusive narcissist out of your head. They have a way of living there.

    I hope you're doing better! Your perseverance is admirable as hell.

    Sometimes getting through adversity and hardship can make us into better, tougher, and more empathetic adults than we would've been if our childhoods had been easier. I hope that's the case for you.

  • China is building the world’s largest national parks system

    Jump

  • Absolutely! Even something janky like dirt roads can be a helpful barrier to keep crowding down and nature preserved. I live in WA and the road to the famous Hoh rainforest recently washed out and it's actually a blessing. It'll take a few years to repair, giving the Hoh a much needed break.

    Tourists peel the moss off the trees!

  • Any good memories of my Dad are overwritten by the child abuse. I would've been better off being raised by a single mother. Today is... complicated.

  • China is building the world’s largest national parks system

    Jump

  • That's... not a good thing. Not having a signal in national parks is one of the perks, it keeps the glampers away. I fully expect a park with WiFi to have Bluetooth speakers playing nonsense everywhere you go.

    This news still makes me fantasize about moving to China, though...

  • Good memories

    Jump

  • I had that experience in school. Even in college people would invite me to their dorm and put me in strange situations just to see how I would react. They didn't know anyone else like me.

    Felt like being in a zoo. Or a circus. It was nice to be sought out, though. And they were clueless kids, so I try to not hold a grudge about it.

  • I didn't have friends in school. Hell, because of my undiagnosed autism and untreated trauma, I didn't even have peers.

  • Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, husband shot and killed; Sen. John Hoffman and wife also shot

    Jump

  • Minnesota was already on his list, and I imagine you're right. I wonder how they'll spin these murders, considering it's their people pulling the triggers. I wouldn't be surprised if the police uniforms the shooters used were given to them by actual cops. Minnesota has a long history of corrupt law enforcement.

    Jump

  • That's just... insane. It seems like having a strong sense of empathy is such a weakness these days. I wouldn't have celebrated the murder of Republican congresspeople, nor would I have thought that your townspeople would celebrate this. Well meaning people just aren't equipped to handle what's happening, but I imagine our lizard brains will catch us up quickly, hence the adrenaline.

    Be careful.

  • Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, husband shot and killed; Sen. John Hoffman and wife also shot

    Jump

  • Yep. I got an adrenaline rush when I read this and it hasn't quite dissipated yet. My heart rate is still elevated, and I have the distinct feeling that my nervous system is expecting a civil war, even if my brain isn't quite there yet.

  • Done. My bad!

  • It's impressive that something this busy manages to be calming rather than chaotic. It's also simultaneously both organic and mechanical. I bet you could sell prints of this.

  • No arguments here

    Jump

  • At least it's better than endless American politics.

  • It's Saturday 06/07/2025. Hey, What's Going On!

    Jump

  • There's a heat wave this weekend near Seattle where I live. Saturday and Sunday have highs around 88 and Monday is like 85. June has a reputation here for being cold and rainy. There's not a single drop of rain in the forecast this upcoming week or the one after.

    If this summer is anything like the last two, we won't get a single drop until October.

    I can handle a lot of things. Even the fall of democracy in the USA. Because those horrible things are tangible and solvable. We can always have a revolution. That will suck, but it's doable.

    Climate change has me in a funk that just won't quit. Nothing makes me want to give up more than this. This awful hot summer will be the coolest summer for the rest of my life. I can't deal with something this hopeless.

  • They're great at making us look very cool

    Jump

  • I... am going to stick with my interpretation.

    Jump

  • Ohh so it's actually a lot more clever than I thought. Animals giving birth to demonic human children is a common trope, like The Omen.

  • I have no idea what this means but it made me giggle maniacally.
