Any Drew Gooden fans?

Road work ahead

And in a crazy perfect world maybe even infrastructure for people walking, biking, and taking public transportation.

Start talking to your coworkers!

Even if you don’t convince your workplace to unionize, you’re laying the groundwork for the next person who tries.

I think it’s more like, if you’re ever in a custody dispute your diagnosis can be used against you.

And as we enter the “Entire cities burning down” part of climate change the world will do… Absolutely nothing.

“But they said they’d help me out if I told my side of the story! They said they’d put in a good word with the DA for me!”

sigh

Same.

I was like, huh seems like she was overworked I guess I wonder why there’s so many comments… Oh fuck.

Exactly. This wouldn’t even be a blip in the news if he weren’t a former president. Judges lock people up for contempt all the time for way less than he’s already said.

Most sane people agree you can’t tamper with witnesses or threaten prosecutors (or anyone). He just has a loud cult of rabid defenders who would believe the sky was purple if he said it.

But normally the fucking happens in way-off corners of the country that the majority is happy to not think about.

Not that it makes it right, in any sense, but the grand fucking canyon? Conservatives are getting more brazen by the day.

The criminal court gave him a pass. I believe this is a civil lawsuit from the families of the victims.

It’s not justice but it would be better than nothing to make sure he dies broke.

I don’t know what the whole answer would be, but a huge part of it would be whiskey.

Hurt my knee cuz I sat down wrong. Had to add “can’t tuck my leg behind me when I sit” to the old man list.

It’s not that anyone had to do anything.

But if a particular demographic is dying more frequently of a specific cause, it’s worth digging into why that’s happening. These are people for fucks sake.

Never tried meth but I was homeless for a time. I can absolutely see why you’d flock to it if you live on the street.

It’s not safe to sleep, even more so at night. Cops make a habit of stealing/destroying your stuff, and because of that other homeless people steal your shit. It makes you feel invincible, helps you ignore the cold, and 10 bucks keeps you high for 2 days.

It’s all well and good to say don’t do drugs, but not having a place can really change your priorities in ways you’d never expect.

Also fostering, if it would be a good fit, too.

You know it’s very easy to get a bow and arrow right? Even if you’re a felon with mental health problems.

Live your dreams.

I’d maybe haul a ton of potatoes for a thousand pounds.

Sure as shit not tilling, fertilizing, planting, watering, maintaining, picking, hauling, and selling that many potatoes for that kind of money.

There’s a reason big ag is so dominant, and it’s (partially) because their margins are so insane a small farmer can’t easily break into the market.

Yep, Costco is fine we all knew the deal when we signed up. But the Walmart greeter stopping me? No way.

You wanna see if I’m stealing? Check the damn cameras.

I’m a fan of Lemmy, for the memes and link aggregator aspect of it. And sense of community, there are trolls but it’s generally pretty positive.

I also like the Old Internet feel that the Fediverse in general has. I’m going out and looking for things that interest me again rather than hoping for something new to come into my feed. Actually reading articles. Commenting more than twice a year.

We’ll see what happens but overall, I think I’m staying.
