Stewed beets are delicious, and beet greens are quite tasty too. A nice addition to any garden.

Now that is a good shower thought!

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren’t as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There’s a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There’s also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

My Dad is a Buddhist, so I have some knowledge and respect for that philosophy/faith.

But yes, he was a hippy too.

And I think he would agree that this question is poorly formed at least. But then I’ve never heard my Dad talk about chakras either.

There is a !Buddhism@lemmy.world community.

I’m 50 and fairly set in my ways.

My wife and I took in a trans person in need almost a year ago.

I’d never known a trans person before, not personally. It took me maybe two weeks to get used to pronouns. Now it’s second nature.

You’re nothing but a fucking bigot if you can’t try to change just a little bit to make others comfortable.

To keep making this an issue just makes it even clearer. You aren’t interested in being inclusive. You refuse to try. Fuck off and retire, Carville.

I blocked it because I browse all and every day dozens of communities were being created. And I don’t need porn communities here really. I just didn’t want to miss out on the non-porn NSFW content, comics like Oglaf.

Edit: Shit I just remembered it was actually because assholes kept posting SFW pics of celebs causing their NSFW communities to show up.

Yes, people say antisocial when they mean asocial. The asocial people are those who avoid being around others and/or get exhausted easily in social situations.

Games have been around the $50-$70 mark my entire life.

It’s a sad reality, but I expect prices of major mainstream games to go up, regardless of tariffs.

He really understood what works on screen and on the page. It’s a rare trait to have mastered both as well as he did.

Read the novel if you haven’t. The screenwriter (William Goldman) wrote the novel as well, and it’s fantastic. It has depth to it that wouldn’t have worked in the movie.

Absolutely, mileage will vary, so do your research.

Mine got me a mortgage when nobody else was lending. Got my wife the house she’d always wanted, her grandma’s place. I’d been a member for more than a decade by that point. The mortgage wasn’t even through them, they found us the lender, so they at best got a referral fee.

Move your shit to a credit union. They are far more forgiving.

Lawsuits will not beat fascists.

Well not annually.

If the mayor is pro-AI, then the city’s actual citizens are in for a ride.

I should’ve given the full context - when I was a kid watching the news with my parents it was likely late in the Carter administration, or early in Reagan’s. So yeah, fully agreed.

And this is why the Left can’t win.

It’s too obsessed with purity and infighting to focus on the true enemy.

The fascists, on the other hand, focus on the true enemy, then focus on purity and infighting!

I should’ve put a /s at the end. The joke was too good.

The gish gallop has gone mainstream.

What we needed, twenty to forty years ago at the bare minimum, were journalists who were willing to shut that shit down.

I remember being a child watching the news with my parents and seeing an oil company defender accusing the scientists of chasing profits.

Like what the fuck? How did that not end immediately with “And who is currently profiting?” is and always has been beyond me.

…I’m not sure that’s a great example of the gish gallop. Technically.

My point was that we now report the untrue claims rather than saying, from the start, “This candidate said something completely false and not worth repeating.”

For clicks, views, the algorithm, for profit. Nope. It was all to game the system in order to destroy it.

Sorry, this probably isn’t coherent but I’m tired and tipsy, and I’ve chosen to hit save.

Are you even a real activist?

How many times have you sent the Bee Movie script today?
