Yeah sorry I should have been more clear that’s what I meant, but it didn’t go exactly the way they imagined in their head

Yes yes everything that doesn’t go your way is unfair and fake.

I wonder if we have any statistics for non-violent crime like theft, grocery stores keep going on about rising pretty theft and I have my doubts.

Sex doesn’t need to define you, neither does being a virgin.

Sex is part of a healthy life but putting it on a pedestal and letting it impact your image of yourself will only lead to toxicity.

Whoops, definitely a typo but I like it

Lower the power setting and put it on for longer, it will usually give the center of time to warm up.

I just gave Bandcamp a look and was able to find some stuff that I wasn’t able to find anywhere else and got a chance to support the artist so that was pretty cool thanks.

I wasn’t aware of that to be honest I knew they were all pretty low but I didn’t know Deezer was the lowest.

I just like their app. Going to have to look into tidal I guess, although considering I haven’t really changed my music taste for a while, I might consider band camp at this point.

Actually you know what I’ve talked to myself into it. I’m just going to download my music with Bandcamp and use syncthing to have it wherever I need it. Thanks for the inspiration stranger

You got me!

I really like Deezer personally.

When setting up the authentication when it asks you to set up Microsoft authenticator there should be a drop-down at the bottom of the page that says use another option that will allow you to use a phone call or text message as your chosen method of authentication.

It’s fundamentally easier to do things when Congress licks your boots, who knew.

With how much climate anxiety I have I always think about ways I could cut back and use my car as little as possible, which makes it all the more upsetting when my work tries to get me to go back to the office and burn unnecessary fossil fuels, then I remember that the reason they’re doing this is mainly financial justification for the office space and political favors and it’s deeply upsetting.

You can’t say if he’s proud of it or not currently. All I know for sure is that actions speak louder than words and it’s the most action we’ve gotten a long time.

Is it the solution we need? No. However anytime he tries to do anything broader he’s blocked by Congress so I can’t hold too much at his feet.

Imagine if someone took every mistake you ever made and magnified it as if you weren’t allowed to grow or change.

That’s you, that’s what you sound like

Unfortunately, it’s well understood that political engagement especially when in a debate is an emotional undertaking.

Complicated further by the fact that we tend not to change our assumptions even when presented with data that proves otherwise.

We are a tribal species whose emotions are not geared towards understanding the far reaching and nuanced decisions we are faced with.

This but the rich instead.

A $1 million median is insane, even going by median cost of ownership in my area for a fairly standard single family home is $550,000, you could get away for $450,000 on the low end though.

I guess it can always get worse. The part that strikes me is that I live in an area that is fairly low density and was previously known for its home affordability. So I would say you’re right, that plus investment firms buying up a lot of the available housing. Not to mention the additional cost that car centric infrastructure lays on the individual.

I really hope things improve but I won’t hold my breath.

I wish it was possible, a citizen’s co-op sounds amazing.

I will say I’ve seen it tried with varying degrees of success so It’d have to done carefully.

I wasn’t trying to build a statistically significant argument, just giving my anecdotal woes of the local economy.

However median income for my area is $62,000. Rent range is $1400 - $3000 I gave the low end. Average is about $2,300. Hopefully that gives context.
