Funnily enough this is exactly how people think including our house.

I took mine down when Roe v Wade was overturned and the Progress Pride flag went up. I had been considering putting the American Flag back up recently if Democrats start winning again.

People from every country like to pretend that patriotism isn’t a natural part of living but will stick their heads so far up their own asses when talking up all their food, culture, teams, or any other number of arbitrary things.

And while there has been some divergence in Patriotism vs Nationalism, they’re essentially the same damn thing but with better connotations for one now lol.

I mean to make sure they’re lifted off the other sticky note like a spring. If he’s using tape he’s cheating.

In reality you should be able to get an anonymized reference number to show your vote was tabulated correctly though.

Right now it comes down to an actual official finding your paper ballot with hand marked tracking and presuming the computer read it correctly on an overall vote total.

Being able to do this anonymously and securely is where the problems lie. Which is also why digital only voting still isn’t a thing anywhere.

He better be using another folded sticky note to make those 3d instead of regular tape…

Dope, gulls are.

Recently tried to get mine working (it’s been stowed away for a while) but it’s not reading discs at all anymore or even booting to the menu screen.

We used to have to do the turn it on it’s side trick but I think it was just stuck in a dark dank basement for too long. Kinda want to rip it apart and try to fix but we shall see.

People don’t realize that ultra processed food is basically everything they eat and drink. There are very few things that aren’t, and they’re mostly whole food adjacent.

If it’s not straight up water and plain vegetables, fruit, and grain equivalents, it’s more than likely ultra processed no matter how healthy it claims to be.

So much of non-genetic cancers comes from what we ingest willingly. A large portion of it would stop if everyone ate a well rounded whole foods diet. But shit is expensive, takes time and kwh to make, and people are busy trying to enjoy life.

Conventional Cereal? Terrible. https://www.livestrong.com/article/13774827-is-eating-cereal-every-day-bad/

Certain processed fiber gives you liver cancer Ffs lol.

Thank you for all the free updates ConcernedApe. I hope you’re enjoying your time with your millions and if/when you release the Haunted Chocolatier I’ll get that too. You’re great and your game is great.

To be honest a big part of this was that it was a quasi-loot game. You had to do the rpg type mechanic where you plugged a bunch of items together that you get dropped after playing and do a ton of items synthesis. It kept you playing for ages to try new unlocks.

I’m sure the game wasn’t balanced well for characters either but for the average little shitass it was great.

Wtf who doesn’t mention Power stone 2. Arguably the best pickup brawler game ever made and still holds that title.

Record of Lodoss and Evolution are also top tier.

And yet it’s still relevant because HAM radio operators are weird like that.

Breaking: Man shot in house after repeatedly killing wife in game while naked.

Depends on if you go voluntarily and have insurance. Otherwise prepare for a 2 hour drive and be housed with some of the poorest and uncontrollable in the state.

Because contributing in a utopia means living the shared experience by not hurting others.

A human system short of severe forced genetic manipulation will always require a visible way of showing that you’ve contributed.

That could mean making art all day. That could mean saying Hi to Grandma. It could mean getting a basic stipend for not being a criminal who hurts others.

Regardless, there will be a way to tell you who’s done more and who hasn’t. It doesn’t have to be money. It can be social credit ala China or more likely money just like it is now. That person WILL be selected to do something before the person in the basement doing nothing but synth-heroin. There will be a way to show to others around you that you are verifiably more deserving of something than another person is just through that fact that we live on a planet, solar system, or galaxy with finite resources and more importantly, finite time, and you’ve contributed unselfishly.

How any large organization gets away with not using YYYY-MM-DD format is beyond me.

Taking over some of my previous directors files is like chaos.

How anybody publishing entire internet memos without a date being on the first page is beyond me. Like wtf am I reading a PDF from 15 years ago or last month?

More importantly it’s just not really true.

Money will always be a part of human culture because we need some kind of default monetary value that says you’ve contributed to the betterment of your fellow man in some way.

This won’t go away when we have cold fusion and a Dyson sphere lol.

Despite this, the vast majority of these people are typing from well off countries in areas that won’t be affected by the severe parts of climate change.

You know who mostly gets boned from climate change? Like, the literal worst climate change or severe nuclear winter. It’s not most Europeans, Americans, or Chinese I’ll tell you that lol.

Doomers are suckers who have eaten up propaganda meant to make the world worse through apathy and inaction. It’s worsened when they know they’re addicted to the internet but it’s easier to not care about their future and pretend everything is against them rather than try to better their and everyone’s lives somehow. It’s the bane of the mentally unwell, lazy, easily swayed, and non-curious.

Get ready for the Green washing comments lol.

Project Manager x QA = The TA… I thought it was astronauts floating around in space or some shit lol.

Theyre the only people to help during actual disasters though. Good luck getting the fucking Red Cross out short of anything but a federally declared disaster.

Do the math yourself. The answer is there lol.

According to this it takes about 50 tons of PE granules to make about 40 Kilometers of clingfilm.

Moar plastic manufacturing. Thickness of 2/10,000 of an inch. Plastic is crazy cheap and efficient compared to other methods.

Plastic bags. Full roll is 348 lbs which makes 35,000 bags.

If you’re wondering about crude to plastic efficiency…

It takes about 0.4 gallons of crude oil to make one pound of plastic, which means that 11 million metric tons of plastic equates to approximately 9.7 trillion gallons of oil.

A nice copout answer from the US Government lol.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is unable to determine the specific amounts or origin of the feedstocks that are actually used to manufacture plastics in the United States.

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=34&t=6

This oil website even busts their chops on it lol.

This fact itself raises questions such as, “How many barrels of oil go into plastic packaging?” A question that is quite difficult to answer. The Energy Information Administration absolutely refuses to answer it, saying that it collects no data in this segment. Yet data from a few years ago, when the EIA still collected information about this, shows that in 2010 some 191 million barrels of LPG and NGL were used for the production of plastics along with 412 billion cu ft of natural gas. The liquids amount constituted about 2.7 percent of the country’s total petroleum consumption. Most of the natural gas used in plastics production was used as a fuel rather than feedstock.

Plastics production accounts for about 4 percent of global oil production. That’s according to figures for 2012, so now it may well be higher.

Some interesting glass to plastic energy efficiency info, not discounting their completely different use cases.

The total energy required to produce, package, and transport a 16 oz. PET container is 32 MJ compared to 34 MJ for a 16 oz. glass container – virtually the same. Producing a pound of plastic resin, however, uses nearly nine times the energy of producing a pound of glass. These comparisons assume the use of virgin glass.
