- Comment on I'm so vegan I could eat a burger and still be a vegan 4 days ago:
Same boat. I’m not vegan, and I’ll probably never be. I could genuinely see myself going lacto ovo, but honestly, that wouldn’t be so hard for me if I only cook for myself. But, like, it is clearly the correct moral decision, and anyone arguing that is either misinformed or lying to themselves
- Comment on I'm so vegan I could eat a burger and still be a vegan 4 days ago:
Yeah, that’s the level when you keep telling people “I’m really thinking about going vegan. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it”

Raylin is the one that needs the reassurance, Vanessa (right) knows exactly how beautiful she is. Raylin ain’t never had a man bring her fish every day for three years. Everybody stops to take pics with Vanessa.

- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 4 weeks ago:
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.

It’s the best thing ever!
- Comment on my house, my rules. 5 weeks ago:
I meant the phrase, not the font, but yes, you’d need embroidery for cursive to my knowledge. But my cross stitch is often a mix of the two, I use dissolvable lattice so you can stitch directly onto fabric like a pillowcase or a T-shirt, instead of being stuck with just Aida cloth, so a lot of the time it’s both traditional cross stitch and free hand embroidery
- Comment on my house, my rules. 5 weeks ago:
Ive been trying to find a new cross stitch to work on at night to help with the insomnia. I think this might be it.

Oh that is fucking fantastic
- Comment on The eyes creep me out. Even I wouldnt be able to focus on the job 1 month ago:
Yeah, nah… I can and have gotten past a lot of issues to give a blowjob, but I can’t be making deep meaningful eye contact with a beloved Disney character while deep throating an anonymous dong. I didn’t know where my limit was, but apparently I’ve found it
- Comment on The borders are just WIDE OPEN though!!11!! 1 month ago:
Absolutely. 100% open borders. Keep track of border crossings if you want to, I’m not a fan, but I understand it, for reasons of human trafficking or kidnapped children, but honestly, if I want to move to Nicaragua or Michigan or Montenegro it should be the same process. Find a place to stay and travel there. If someone from anywhere else wants to do so to move here, they should be able to. Think your country is number 1 go murica hell yeah! Then fucking prove it. Open the borders world wide, and let’s see where who wants to stay where. Incentivize living here instead of trapping poor workers in a hell hole they can’t escape.

I wonder if that configuration would still move sideways?

One of the things I love most about Lemmy is how everything, no matter the context, becomes star trek in the end. It’s like that all evolution leads to crab meme, but in real life. All discussion becomes trek.
Excellent writing, btw! Love the story
- Comment on How would a stateless society handle serious threats such as mass murder and terrorism? 1 month ago:
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?

I can think of a ton, actually. The just don’t overlap with a fourth circle, “mainstream appeal,” they’re all folk singers like Phil Ochs and David Rovics. Most main stream is probably Todd Snider and he’s by no means nationally popular or anything.

That should be a line in one of those comedy horror movies. “Oh God! He’s speaking Scottish! Run!”

- Comment on Look at the shitty world sober people have carefully crafted around you. Drugs aren't the problem, they are the solution. 1 month ago:
Been planning on trying DMT for a while now. Me and my buddy (who is way more experienced) have agreed to do it together, with his girlfriend as trip sitter.
It’ll be my first psychedelic, but I can’t really try any of the others, as I have to be able to respond pretty quickly in emergency, in case my mom needs me, and the others all last hours. I’m excited and terrified.

In a more simplified version, you could omit the A entirely, and just write the diacritical mark, recreating an alphabet…
- Comment on on owls 2 months ago:
Where I used to live, there was an island with wild horses that would swim to the mainland occasionally (there was an actual event for this, but I’m not talking about that). You’d just be chilling on the beach, having a good day, when suddenly, a horse appears. It uses confuses. It is super effective. Everyone stares at it as it walks out of the waves, shakes like a dog, and then trots off. Very nearby was a pretty rural area, and anyone with horses in that area would tell stories about the island horses straight up stealing their horses, and them having to talk to state wild life department about it and get their horses back from the new wild horse’s roving harem nearby in one of the swamps.

This works well with dogs, too. My little Monster (Monty is his Christian name, but he responds to Monty, Monster, Grumbles, and Little Boy) loves being sung to. He smashed his floppy, floppy ear against your face so you have to sing directly into it, and he howls when you get to a certain part of the song

Just because they’ll eat you if you die doesn’t mean they don’t love you. It just means that cats do not believe the body and the soul are the same thing. Once the vessel is empty, it can be consumed to further strengthen those remaining. It is a thing of honor to nourish those you leave behind. The cats know this.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
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.
