i suspect that he’s one of them; atleast in terms of mental faculties. lol

my phases started out the same as yours:

i’ve been going in and out of vegan phase for the last 28 years and my first one was heralded in by accident because i couldn’t afford meat so i survived of my homemade bean burritos and it made me the fattest i had ever been in my entire life (so far) from all the calories. lol

i’ve since switched to leafy vegetables (eg cabbage, brussel sprouts, spinach) and in soup form because there’s SO MANY delicious bullions, stocks, & broths that i can try and it’s ultra easy to do with crockpots. its deliciousness has had the opposite desired impact on my weight, but atleast it’s better for some of my health indicator numbers.

this sounds great; especially the 4th episodes; but i don’t want to go back to spotify. are you aware of another sources for this podcast?

and attempt to make you aware that you’re heavily propagandized.

i think .world has a jimmy dore dedicated community and the other comments prove that the mainstream corporate media outlets will always be regarded by americans as “journalism” while other outlets will always be “propaganda”.

also: it’s fun to see how out of touch they are not knowing things like sora exist. lol. i makes me feel young and connected. rotflmao

the last panel hits hard and i’ve wondering where the line is between “corpo rat” and living by my convictions as i ruminate giving up my very comfortable software engineering career for doing IT at this large non-profit, as i watch my life savings shrink.

i suppose it wouldn’t be so bad if the people in control of the non-profit weren’t paying themselves absurdly high salaries while the rest of us have salaries that haven’t been updated since the 1990’s; but then again the impact on the local community is undeniable and the amount of work leaves me free to spend a lot of time on social media while working from home while my former colleagues have to pointlessly report to an office 3 days a week to keep their 401k’s from shrinking further while i watch my pension start its first stages of growth.

i have a pair of pi2’s and this looks like it’s cat friendly; i think i might start doing xmas again. lol

there’s a question mark in your comment, so i presume that there’s a question in there somewhere.

every accusation is an admission.

there was a mural of this nearby where i lived in austin, but i could never find out who did it because my google searches just showed seemingly random results when i searched for “hi, how are you”

adding in “daniel johnston” into the search terms has finally made me aware of it’s background and the wikipedia article about it is bizarre considering that i first became of aware of it when i witnessed the austin police beat up and harass homeless and clearly mentally unwell people nearby an advertisement version saying “thai how are you” and the wiki article says this:

In 2018, the Mayor of Austin, Texas, declared January 22 (Johnston’s birthday) to be “Hi, How Are You Day”, a day dedicated to mental health awareness funded by the non-profit organisation of the same name.

now knowing that it gained widespread popularity due to kurt cobain makes it feel like a formerly niche cultural reference has been co-opted by the mainstream and now its original intention is so far gone that it has become an advertisement vehicle where basic civil rights can be seen abused by an authority that pretended to embraced it less than a decade ago.

damn tankie!!! lol

The willful ignorance displayed by the pro-capitalist political groups (eg liberals, conservatives, most libertarians, and some anarchists) make it clear to me that bothering w the mask of “international law” is meaningless now as exemplified by statements like “quit talking about Gaza” or “Ukraine didn’t provoke Russia” being embraced wholesale despite proof to the contrary easily available w a single 30 second Google search away.

People make up their minds based on repetition of talking points that they get from both legacy and social media and the people who take any efforts to investigate beyond these taking points are labeled as malcontents at best and tankies at worst and doomed to watch society repeat history.

this leaves trump to do as he pleases with venezuel, gaza, iran, etc. and only the people who pay attention; whether through personal interest or a desire to dig beyond the talking points; will be the only ones aware of what’s actually happening and willfully ignored by a huge majority of people, including international bodies like the UN.

this part from the article probably says it better:

Joe Biden justified bombing Yemen to the public by saying it needed to preserve “product shipping times.” Trump justifies bombing Venezuela because “300 million people died of drug overdoses last year,” a number that no one finds credible, but it’s just as well, a blatantly false claim no one is perturbed by any longer.

it’s more fun for me over here. lol

wild! i didn’t know she did audiobooks or even books.

the wolf is right

can you share the source to this please?

these kinds of actions make it clear that BRICS is nowhere near strong enough to stand up the G7.

something like this happened to be too circa 2005 and it made me switch to debian; which stayed rocked solid until 2016 when the motherboard died.

i think it’s a bot scrapper.

i think it depends on the city/town/area where the protest happens.

also, nice touch w the frog.
