In my 40s I had to have a signed document from my wife giving me permission.

Arkansas: It’s the Alabama of Floridas!

I’m in the Indianapolis area, and we do have public transit… though I don’t know why.

I kept putting it off… I wanted it when I was 20 but couldn’t afford it. I still wanted it at 30, but didn’t want to spend the money. At 40 I finally had more than enough in my HSA to cover my annual deductable, so I scheduled it. And I’ve LOVED it! However, around 45 I noticed that my near sight isn’t as good as it has been. Now at 48 I’m realizing that I’ll soon need reading glasses.

I still think it was worth it… but I REALLY wish I had done it in my 20s so I could have enjoyed going glasses free for all those years.

I’m loving the juxtaposition of the headlines:

it’s important to master blood magic and necromancy, so you can make use of the whole body

Isn’t this the main tenant of Christianity?

Cis-male here, my best friend was a trans woman and when she first started her transition I asked the question that should only come from a close friend: are you going to keep it? She laughed and said “oh yeah, I love having a dick!” and that helped me better understand that her journey was about so much more than genitalia and sex.

So, for me the question wasn’t asked because I didn’t think she wasn’t ‘truly’ a trans woman if she didn’t get it, but it was just out of honest ignorance and misconception. That said, I didn’t think it is really anyone’s business what’s in your underwear - and I would have accepted an answer of “it’s none of your business” if she didn’t want to share.

We need municipal datacenters that can be integrated into the municipal water departments, and municipal electrical grid. Use the hot water to provide ‘on tap’ hot water for local businesses that need it.

Because criminals and terrorists are known for their single-minded desires to get and hold down jobs.

Oh, don’t worry about upper management, they can continue to work remotely - but they’ll still have dedicated offices in several locations in case they are forced to travel. And that will be one less office for the schmucks who have to come into the office.

And this isn’t just Amazon. This is an orchestrated push by the CEOs of many large companies, all conspiring together to claw back some control of their employees. And you’ll do it because fuck you, of course you’ll do it… what choice have you got?

I refer to them all as ‘The Library’.

Did you know you can borrow movies, books, music, and TV shows from The Library? It’s awesome!

You should make a general post about this to promote it. I just installed it, along with the blocklist Nikelui posted below and I’ve seen a huge difference in my search results. Thank you!

It needs another frame showing that feudalism never went away. Capitalism is just a way to walk us all back to feudalism.

Thanks, I was going to let it go because I was sure you just misunderstood what I was saying, and honestly it isn’t worth arguing over. But I appreciate you following up.

Two different things can be different.

I’m talking about wolves, not immigrants. Are you saying that you’re against removing an animal from the endangered species list because of immigration policy? Because, that’s weird.

I saw a similar thread on Reddit about 12 years ago and one of the suggestions near the bottom that didn’t have any comments on it is something I’ve incorporated into my daily life and it has made a huge difference: Adjust your car mirrors so you have no blind spots.

Most people have their side mirrors adjusted where they can see a portion of their own car in the mirror. This leaves you with large blind spots. To adjust them where you have no blind spots, sit in the driver’s seat and lean your head over to the left as far as you can (basically putting your head on the window), then adjust the driver’s side mirror to where you can just barely see your car in it. Then lean your head over to the passenger side about the same amount and adjust that mirror.

When adjusted properly if you can see a car in your rearview mirror, you shouldn’t be able to see that car in your side mirrors, but as soon as a car is no longer visible in the rearview mirror it should be visible in one of your side mirrors. Then when it is no longer visible in your side mirror it should be in your peripheral vision.

It takes some getting used to, but once dialed in and you’re used to it then it makes changing lanes a breeze. It also helps at night if someone behind you has bright lights because you’ll only see them in one mirror instead of all 3.

Why is ‘Latin America’ listed as of it is a continent? Mexico is part of North America.

Rejecting a policy just because ‘the other side’ is the one who implemented it supports it is bad policy. It’s basically the way the republican party operates in Congress.

Yes, but no.
