Whoa, this sounds cool as hell. What a great alternative to Spotify and Youtube Music etc

Very well written article. We need to hold CEOs responsible for hammering the delicate window of our spaceship

My local library offers a selection of movies and a projector to watch them on! Honestly I think we should normalize going to the library for a date or hangout and, yeah, something like a regular Friday night library visit for movie night

I just made my first pot of stock the other day and turned it into soup and oh my god the BROTH

American here. Can confirm. It’s not left vs right, it really is just two different colors.

D’you wanna explain what you meant initially? I did assume that I’d offended you somehow because you cursed while disagreeing with me, so I wanted to know what I said wrong. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts. It’s a really scary time in the world right now, and I know that we’re just randos on the internet but it is important to me to listen when you speak - we’re all hanging out on slrpnk so ultimately we share a base ideology.

Yeah? I’m so confused now ;-;

um… did I say something wrong? I didn’t mean to be offensive, it seems like you’re having a really strong reaction to something I said

Blows my fuckin mind that fuckin Orange Palpatine is accidentally making the whole world switch to renewable energy while he turns the US into a dictatorship. Honestly, it kind of gives me some hope? Like how do you fuck up being H*tler so badly that you make the rest of the world a better place

Fuck it let’s go all the way. Replace the cars entirely

My hometown actually set up something like this, with small shed-sized houses that had heating and AC, communal bathrooms, and staff on-site in case anyone needed a hand with something (including professionals trained in addiction). Folks who stayed there report that it was absolutely life changing and enabled them to finally get a job and move into a real apartment or buy a house, get married and have kids, the works.

Unfortunately, the apartment buildings next door are all owned by one asshole who, like all landlords, abhors the idea of free housing and has argued against the encampment since it started. A lot of the people who live there are pretty noisy about it, too. They say that homeless people from the encampment are harassing them, breaking their windows, stealing from their cars, etc - essentially, anytime anyone’s an asshole to them, the asshole must have been from the encampment. Never mind that my hometown is known for having a high crime rate regardless…

So that’s discouraging. But the fact of the matter is that your idea is plausible and there’s tons of evidence to back it up!! And yeah, having a permanent, safe place to live is pretty damn life changing

No shame, survival is a worthy cause, maybe the most worthy

Thank you, I needed to hear this

I’ve seen so few this year. Everything is so manicured around me and the landlord pays for landscaping/mowing/etc so I can’t keep the leaves out for them :C I’ll start keeping the porch light off at night though!

Hey there! My partner recently went through this whole process. They wanted something really sturdy and low-tech - for reference, they use a flip phone in regular life, so you get the idea. Specifically, the requirements were no touch screen, no Bluetooth, just load music files on there and be able to hit play and pause. They also had a fairly low budget.

We ended up choosing the Snowsky Mini. It’s light, pocket-sized, physical buttons, you can pop a micro SD in there to get up to 256GB of storage space. It sounds fantastic with a decent pair of earbuds.

I cannot speak to how repairable it is at the moment, and I will say that my partner is very careful with devices so I also can’t speak to how durable it is against someone clumsy like me. I’m also not a tech nerd so I can’t speak on altering hardware or software. But I can say that my partner loves it and has no complaints.
