Both have trees without leaves and it appears to be sunny with a light breeze. Short of the temperature I’m not sure what else you’re asking for.

I can happily say that my daily transportation is mostly divorced from petroleum products: the local buses are electric, and I don’t own a car. It still needs tires and had plastic in it obviously, but no gasoline is a big plus.

I try to buy as little plastic as possible, but I don’t control what they put the food I buy in, and my budget is restricted enough that I can’t spend extra to find plastic-free options most of the time (even bulk produce is bagged/in a container usually). I think it’s for hygiene purposes, but I’d be fine with prepared foods being in a paper bag or cardboard or something and produce being loose.

For stuff I regularly use, I try to buy a version that isn’t made of plastic whenever possible. My lunch box and water bottle are plastic free and stainless steel, so I expect them to last basically forever. Our cat’s litter box is also stainless steel, because the plastic ones eventually either get clawed to shit or worn away from continual ammonia exposure.

If this oil crisis made companies more thoroughly investigate plastic alternatives, that’d be great, but I get the feeling they’re just shrugging and passing the cost on to us.

Fart directly into an air purifier and it’ll get removed even faster. Only works with the ones that use a carbon filter, I think.

Don’t worry, it’s DEFINITELY not because they would need to disclose their finances to investors. Just keep pouring money in and everything will turn out fine!

The Nov 12-13 Leonids meteor shower of 1833, which was said to have been measured in excess of 100,000 meteors viewed per hour (about 27+ per second). This obviously was profound to basically everyone alive at the time who could see it (it wasn’t visible in Europe), and honestly it just sounds cool. I wanna see the insane space fireworks!

All of that peeled off is dirty oil?! Eww.

Why are they scraping the floor? Was this just part of the process of installing a wood floor back in the day? Is this what they did instead of waxing them? Lovely painting, but I’m super curious about what exactly they’re doing and why.

That plastic bin is in amazing condition considering its age /j

whack wow, this is so easy whack I’m really good at this whack

Never discount what a good masturbation can do, or a nap. One after the other is even better.

If those don’t work and weather permits it, just going outside and watching nature is very cathartic for me. Not feeling trapped in an apartment or situation.

Spicy… or babey?? Only one way to find out…

Still not a thing

Live feed of my monster cat that bruises my sternum when trying to wake me up for breakfast by sitting on me.

If he’s talking about an event that he pulled out of specifically because they misrepresented his presence as having ‘solidarity’ with Israel, who do you think the statement is about? 🙄

He gave what I thought was a thoughtful explanation of why he was planning to go:

“Throughout my long career, I’ve been lucky to perform across a quite wide swath of the world – in countries with governments whose values or culture I do not share and in front of audiences of many differing faiths and ideologies,” he wrote. “Travelling to places whose view of the world may not align with mine has given me a chance to observe and to listen and learn and to share my idea of what makes good storytelling and what makes beautiful music and how they can complement each other and illuminate the human condition.

“My appearance in any country, even my own, does not constitute approval of said country’s policies, nor actions, nor its elected or unelected leaders. My appearances would also not condone nor mean that I am in supposed ‘solidarity’ with any particular political cause, nor with the killing of innocents, nor with any acts of terrorism, nor any other kind of barbarity.”

I’ve seen posters taped up under the cameras, but I also see more cameras.

I don’t see anything in the article about building more lights, just altering the timing so that the default light state is red instead of green.

Sounds great, but I don’t live there and do have to deal with drivers and traffic lights, and I would like to implement whatever measures will slow them down. If the first and easiest is altering traffic light patterns, cool, do it. I’m supposed to not want this?

Do you want traffic lights to only turn every 5-10 minutes? Lights were always going to be changing more than transit was arriving, if altering how it changes slows speeding drivers why wouldn’t you want that?

Legitimately congrats on being self aware enough to realize this is a problem you have, plenty of people never do. If you haven’t considered and have access to therapy that could help.

I would also say just learning more about different perspectives and ways of being helps kill extremism. You can not believe something but also try to understand the minds and experiences of those who do. Even if your conclusion is still ‘they are wrong’, you can at least understand what about their life and experience leads them to their beliefs, and extend to them the understanding that they are also people doing what makes sense to them according to their experiences.
