  • Nice try

    Jump
  • I suppose it depends on the kid. Fruit seemed like a punishment to me when I was younger, and then when I got older I wondered how I could have been so ridiculous.

    Maybe I disliked it because "the man" wanted me to eat it because it was healthy. Maybe the rebellious kids are the ones who hated fruit, but not because of the taste.

  • It's so funny that kids often don't like fruit. Like, "no I want my sugar without chewing! How dare you make me chew. Fiber bad, candy good."

  • Cats are invasive predators and are causing birds to go extinct. They kill 4 billion birds in the lower 48 every year.

    Where would a cat get food outside? They rarely eat animals they catch.

  • In a purely libertarian society, parks wouldn't last long. They would either become prohibitely expensive and yet another thing only for the rich, or they would be harvested and the land mined.

    Making them public is the only way to ensure they remain as they are.

  • You can't be both a libertarian and pretend to care about parks and forests. Pick one.

  • I guess I didn't know that. Yikes. I'm glad I don't eat many canned goods.

  • Cat obesity isn't actually funny in real life, it's animal abuse.

  • Oh! Interesting. Eating cold soup out of the can sure is a vibe. Way to be yourself!

  • Don't eat from the can. The inside of the can is lined with plastic, so if you heat the can itself the plastic will leach into your food.

  • I don't. At least not anymore. I used to have a 40 hour, Monday through Friday job, but I had to find something else or I would've ended up having a breakdown. I'm autistic, and my life has been a series of periods of trying to be the person society wants me to be, failing, and then spending several years burnt out and unable to function before repeating the whole process. If I hadn't been able to live with one of my parents during those burnout periods I would've likely ended up homeless.

    I've found that I simply cannot work 5 days a week. Even 40 hours over 4 work days will eventually burn me out. So I found a job that offers 12 hour shifts, and I work weekends. I pick up one or two shifts during the work week when they're available. I average 32 hours a week.

    It's unarmed security, and it works for me, even though it doesn't pay well. I've just accepted that I will be poor, and my life is much better this way. Capitalism has brainwashed us into believing that money is more valuable than time, and there's something wrong with you if you can't match what is expected of you.

  • I have tendonitis because exercise is how I cope with the rise of fascism and I overdid it because, well, I think I now live in a dictatorship.

    Now I can't exercise. And camping season just started for me. I'm staring out the window longing for the woods and the deserts and the mountains of the PNW hoping it will all still be there in a few weeks when my body is healed.

  • This is not a shitpost. Politics need to stop leaking into shitposting and meme subs.

  • You have a point. I've been wondering just how senate Democrats could possibly approve all these wildly incompetent boobs to these powerful positions. Maybe they want the worst people possible in these positions so that this administration implodes on itself.

    But that could be giving them too much credit. It would mean they weren't entirely spineless...

  • Yam tits! That is genuinely a new one for me. Excellent.

    I'll never, as long as I may live, get over the utter embarrassment of being born and raised in a country who could support that maniac. I suppose the worst thing I could do is leave. The only way to alleviate my shame is to stay and keep voting for the least insane option.

  • I'm autistic and trying to figure out if autism is an at-risk minority group. It doesn't help that I was extremely vocal on Reddit about how much I hate Trump and Musk. I deleted my account, but Reddit is now a fascist platform and would likely turn over my posts and email address to this administration without a second thought.

    I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if I could even leave at all, with my debilitating anxiety and trauma.

  • Making paper out of trees is one of the dumbest things our species does. Paper can be made out of fast growing plants like hemp and bamboo, yet we're making it out of the SLOWEST growing plants in existence? Make it make sense.

    In the early days of the USA, wealthy land owners lobbied the government to make hemp illegal to grow because they knew that using the trees on their land was an inefficient way to make paper, but it made them money. Hemp was a threat, and so these greedy short-sighted capitalists made it illegal to grow.

    Sweden should learn from our mistakes and grow hemp.

  • I was feeling all combative and shit because the title promised me plural owls and the post only contained owl. But the images in the comments have satiated me... for now.

    Carry on. These are some high quality birds.
