They kill the atheists first.
Common refrain from my perspective. No wonder kids don't like fruit. It's bred to survive picking and transport with minimal damage, often seedless, and have as long a shelf life as possible while looking attractive. It's picked under-ripe by a big margin.
It tastes like shit. Pithy, flavorless, sour, etc. Some vegetables even fall into this trap. They're big, pretty, and pithy. Dry. Hard.
It's been a noticeable shift since I was a kid, and I was spoiled by growing up in a major fruit-growing area. Could pick up a flat of fresh strawberries for $6. Fresh melons, tree fruit, berries...all were available during the summer. Didn't have too much cooler-climate fruit like apples though. That fruit was better than candy many times.
I've been making an effort to try to locate as much fruit or whatever to grow ourselves that tastes right, looks be damned. It's a lot harder than I thought. Many of the seeds found at stores around this time of year are hybrids that often fall into the same commercial trap - big, showy, and shitty. You've got to go places like Seed Savers Exchange and buy the older varieties that are less fucked with.
And the leather soles get mushy...and the salt used to melt the ice absolutely shreds the leather just above the stitching when it dries out. Western boots suck in the snow, and it's a quick way to ruin them. Even rubber-soled ones like some of Ariat's don't last, but they're better on wet surfaces.
Frittering my life away, latibulating on my corner computer, earning skins, frippery, for my gaming character, while wearing my haku...a gaming headset.
Go ahead and buy. Shares generally tank pretty quick after IPO for companies that don't actually make anything, the dot bust ensured that. Only time will tell if Reddit shares improve or flounder around not going anywhere. An additional thought - Reddit would do well to do things like get rid of old.reddit, go after ad blockers, and maybe implement a "verified" fee program like Xwitter to boost their stock potential. And also ensure I'll never return.
I'm 100% for mandatory safe storage laws and prosecution of those who fail to do so, especially if that failure leads to injury, death, of theft of said firearm and that gun is used in a crime.
The Largest Source of Stolen Guns? Parked Cars.
So the assholes that need to have guns with them, constantly available, unsecured, because the "might need to access them instantly" or some such nonsense are the very people feeding guns into criminals hands and causing death and injury via accidental shootings and suicides.
Soon as he dies in an arctic circle prison I'll agree with him.
All the countries with space programs have people in some form of dire strait. Starving, homeless, lack of medical care… Are you saying achievements like this aren’t allowed to take place at all until every problem is taken care of? I can assure you that at no point in civilization has there been times where someone wasn’t in a bad spot while society moved forward. Yeah, India has some big problems, and huge wealth disparity is a problem that many places face alongside India, but you can’t shut down progress because all the other problems can’t be solved.
Despite the protests, Reddit's Huffman has persisted in arguing that Reddit is "a living organism, this democratic living organism, created by its users."
No way can a democratic society last under a corporatocracy which, by default, is essentially a dictatorship. And corporatocracy is exactly what Huffman is pushing.
Y’know, it’s highly hypocritical that the article mentions the reason for the API shutoff is to force users to pay for the content while redditcorp doesn’t pay for the content users generate that reddit wants those same users to pay to access.
Wow. Reading the heavyhanded corporate plays by people like musk, Reddit’s c-suite, and now the fears about Threads it’s like the corporatocracy is trying to crush and/or consume independent social media.
Tobe clear - to charge extortionate prices for API access in a deliberate maneuver to kill 3rd party apps and drive users towards reddit’s native app.
App devs were all willing to work with reddit if they could negotiate reasonable fees, but reddit told them to pay up or get lost.
If the news could get their collective heads out of their asses and stop validating the right wing freakshow by giving them tons of airtime, then yes, students could also potentially sway the election.
