Don’t forget BFE. The sticks are almost always right about halfway between BFE and YouGottaPurdyMouth

I came here to comment “moisturize me!” Glad someone beat me to it

White. Male. Able bodied. Neurotypical. Christian (Catholics need not apply). Straight. Republican.

If you or someone you know doesn’t fit each one of those, then they are at risk of persecution in the US.

That’s me this time around!

Speak to the author about allowing folks and their parents to immigrate, please

10/10 reference

Wasn’t aware of the term, but that’s my mom. She learned to read before she was 3, and was reading books meant for middle school children by the the age of 4. Moved on to grown up/high school and beyond books by the time she was like 7 or 8. She’s also been a life long lover of word and number games, and taught me how to count cards when I was kid. She can count cards in games with 2 and 3 decks. Got kicked out of a casino for it when she was in her 20s. Lol.

Eta:

Her sisters (closest in age is 11 years older than her) taught her to read, and all of her siblings were also young readers, but none quite as young as her.

I always mention whenever I see libro.fm brought up: if you don’t have a local store you want to support for whatever reasons, Firestorm in Asheville, North Carolina is a fantastic refuge for the local queer community, it’s a worker cooperative, and they’re struggling to survive. Please consider them if there isn’t another local place in your own community. With the big book stores and then Amazon, a lot of communities don’t have a physical local shop anymore, so if someone has a plug for their local, I think it’s worth making on these kinds of threads.

I just leave mine on top 6 hours, and it’s been plenty for my use, but if scaled can show me smaller communities where I might find new stuff, I’ll definitely try that!

Can you explain to me, an Idiot™, what that would mean for me in practice if I switched? Would I be able to use the play store? What about my bank’s app, or something that uses location, like Grindr?

My guess would be they’re using the all feed? Idk, I’m not one of those people lol

As an anarchist, I answer this just about the same way I answer most questions. Through consensus of those involved, the form that takes is going to be different for each region, community, et cetera. Those that make up society need to have some way of making collective decisions, but it doesn’t need to be a state to achieve that. States are new, governing is not. I favor consensus democracy, but it’s by no means the only method. But questions like this are a double edged sword, they’re vital to explaining left libertarianism, but they’re also proof of how far we have to go before people understand even the basics of it. Stateless does not mean ungoverned, just as anarchism does not mean chaos. It’s simple a governing by the people. If we cannot be trusted to govern ourselves how in the hell do we think this is a tenable system, in which we choose individuals to govern us?

There are folks who just instantly down vote anything 3d printer related, I think it’s a plastic waste thing?

Does it have even fewer words?

Either way, I excitedly anticipate almost understanding the posts! Lol

Agree with everyone else. It’s embarrassing, but it’s not like you have to show them what’s going on. Just tell them you need to see a doctor for it.

If you’re really so uncomfortable telling them about this that you can’t bring yourself to do it, then you could try telling them “I need to see a doctor. It’s embarrassing, I don’t want to discuss it, I just need to make an appointment. I’ll handle the scheduling, I just need to know my insurance info* and a ride to the office”

*Or however that works where you are.

If you can reasonably do it, you may just be able to call and schedule it without their help.

Exactly. I mean, the first couple of times you might be able to think of an excuse to explain it, but the 3rd or 4th time they catch you, you’re just going to have to come clean

I could see this being the future of tattoos in general. Most tattoos are designed digitally, or at least go through a digital phase. Load the image and hit print. No more shitty “my artist was drunk that day” posts, which I’m sure are actually rare as hell, but scare so many people off of getting a tattoo.

Basically, it’d take out the human element and make the experience a little shittier, but with a more polished (again, less human) final project… So it fits 100% perfectly in line with everything we do as a society.

No, no, the Prophetess Rand foretold what would happen! The rich would just lock themselves away in their golden city and the poor outside the gates would starve!

… As yet, though, no word one who’s washing their dishes or making their clothes…

I would also like to know please

Oh, this is so me! I learn some shit, I’m in a honey moon period on it and want to do nothing but talk about it endlessly, and then I get to a point where I hit a wall, I’ve learned as much as I can understand, anything beyond that level of knowledge requires other, more specialized knowledge, and I can’t realistically devote the time to it, and now I don’t even want to talk about it, because I feel like a fraud, as I know there’s a whole world of knowledge on the subject that just isn’t accessible to me

Okay, someone talk me down from the ledge here. I’m not techy, but I’ve been on Fedora for over a year, and dual booting since like 08. But the biggest hurdle back in the day for me was that my wifi was so hit or miss, even when it worked it was slow as shit. That and Netflix not working are what kept me from going full Ubuntu in like 09/10.

Am I going to have to go back to long ass Ethernet cords? Fuck, my laptop doesn’t even have an Ethernet port :(
