Hey, guess what? No history excuses genocide

This is illogical.

Don’t really have many people to celebrate this with.

I guess you must not have had many followers on Instagram 😂

If this hasn’t been tilt-cropped, would I be seeing an iFunny watermark? 😂

Are you playing Holographic Vic Fontaine?

The president is the government’s chief diplomat. Anything that the State Department does is the president’s responsibility

I always explain it this way:

The capitalists have so much money and power, and they’ve been in power so long, it’s unrealistic to think that no one would fall for their traps. These people aren’t the enemy, they are just another kind of victim.

That’s a hell of a metaphor. I love the New Deal art we have here in Lansing. I wish the modern government was concerned with making its citizens lives not only livable, but pleasant

He’s right, and he should say it

Same here. I love me some suffering

I think the amount will depend on you. Are there any hobbies you have put down and come back to before? I’d start with those, and expand as necessary. I’ve also found it helps to have hobbies with different levels of energy requirements. Writing, for example, take a lot more mental energy than watching Star Trek, so Star Trek is a good fallback for me. Often watching an episode or two will be enough to get me in the mood to read, or write myself.

TTRPGs are high energy investment as well, but they have the added benefit of being a group activity, so there are other people I’m motivated to not disappoint by flaking. I would definitely recommend a regularly scheduled social hobby. It can be a lifeline when everything else is chaos

I mean, yeah, that’s how we prepare for disasters. We just need to find it all better

There are definitely things AI is good for. Archival search is obviously the biggest, because that’s what we’ve been using it for decades. It can also be helpful for subterranean and medical imaging, and art restoration. But the companies selling it want to sell a Magic 8 Ball with ads

There used to be a line on my street in Lansing 😭

I agree with everyone else. Having a bunch of different hobbies that I can bounce between keeps things fresh and exciting. They can be related though. For example, I enjoy writing, I also enjoy reading. And I love sci-fi and fantasy in television, movies, and video games as well. And I play TTRPGs in various genres. Oftentimes, because of how related a lot of my hobbies are, by the time I start losing interest in one specific thing, I’ve already been inspired in something adjacent. So overall, it’s like one big hobby that I slowly work theough

This isn’t a book

I downvoted because of the AI post at the top of the page when I clicked through the link

Here’s a couple good articles, one that is basically a timeline of the abortion rights debate, and another that is commentary around the overturning of Roe v Wade

Do you know how long it takes to degauss a warp manifold? I didn’t think so!

That scene was so funny
