The depression is a natural byproduct of civilization. We’re not supposed to sit in concrete boxes and do meaningless tasks for survival. It makes us sad.

My dad’s car ran on 4 star right up until the mid 90s. I was exposed to plenty lead in my formative years as well as micro plastics.

It’s the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren’t known for their love of change.

That’s the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.

He’s also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.

They mean the rendered fat of the trans people they’re planning to kill on an individual scale. Only half of that statement was a joke btw.

It doesn’t really matter if the schools do. And the bully’s parents are where they get it from. Kids don’t care about branding unless they’re instructed to do so by their families. I was bullied by a guy for years at school. Several adults tried to intervene, but it only stopped after I embedded a knife in the wall next to his head from across the room. Bullies like a reaction unless they think there’s a legitimate chance you’ll snap and murder them. Unfortunately that’s not advice you can pass to your children.

Bullying like that can be extremely traumatic for kids. Yeah it’s a shit situation, but I understand why they wouldn’t want to deal with it. kids are generally shitty people in middle school and use any excuse to bully each other. You basically have 3 choices 1) give in and get the thing, 2) let them get bullied for the rest of middle school, 3) harden them to the point where the other kids are fucking terrified of them.

92 % of the population lives in either California, new York or Texas?

To be fair, German public transport (and I admit that I’ve only taken it around Berlin) is about average for Europe. Better than Norway not as good as the Netherlands.

From my limited travel around the states I can say that availability of public transport varies a lot from town to town.

Local transport: San Fransisco has a lot of public transport and its pretty reliable. I spent over a week in Shreveport Louisiana and I only saw a bus once. maybe I wasn’t in the right place at the right time of day but it wasn’t everywhere like in a European city. I haven’t been to New York, but I have a new Yorker friend who says the subway stations are essentially a place for homeless people to masturbate when they get banned from the library. The entire state of Wyoming doesn’t seem to have any public transport.

Intercity transport: The greyhound busses are used almost exclusively by people who are not legally allowed to drive (full of meth heads and schizophrenic nuns) the drivers were obviously whichever mentally ill passenger was closest to the front when the previous driver overdosed. They’ll do things like throw their hands in the air and say don’t worry jesus is protecting us! That’s if there is a bus between cities. There isn’t a bus between salt lake city and park city next door for example. The trains have been reduced steadily to the point where the majority of us cities don’t even have a train station.

So yes Germany has excellent public transport, with the exception of having to validate your ticket before you get on the train (That’s an inefficient waste of time).

It’s around 2.5 per 100 000 in Norway.

The 10 year old has emotional regulation issues. Good kid but very volatile.

It’s always been mum and dad. My kids call me dad/daddy/dumb ass/fucker.

I use celsius. Triple digit temperatures would kill me.

But after a quick conversion, still single digit. Its pretty standard winter temperature just a little bit inland from where i live. I like it best between -15 and -5 °C (5 - 23F)

There’s no directionality to my hair growth whatsoever. So no matter which way I’m shaving I’m going against the grain. I blame the 1/64 Papuan DNA.

I’m white AF and this happens to me. It sucks. Of course my beard hair is the shape of black hair and the texture of hog bristles so it’s not really surprising.

He also answered when asked about recreational drug use that he has tried weed a couple of times in places where it’s legal and had a picture of a homemade pipe on his phone. Which Also shouldn’t be a problem, but it wasn’t necessarily the Vance pic that got him turned away.

To be fair she’s quite noticeable when she jumps from the top of the dining table onto my back like some sort of deranged cat.

My three year old child.

American democracy won’t survive the next flu season. It’s pretty fucking fragile.
