Its great that you’re helping to inform him! I have found the people who know the most about politics and global issues tend to talk less and listen more.

If your political opinion begins with “why don’t we just…” then its a bad political opinion.
If we could just, we would have already just. If you think you’re the only one with the capacity to see a simple answer - newsflash, you’re not a political genius. Its you who doesn’t understand the complexity of the problem.
Its not possible by blocking the barrel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2005_season)#Finger_in_a_Barrel
Likely this barrel was deformed manually using tools.
You should give a shit, because it means now the library has to waste its money cleaning it, instead of funding programs or new books. Libraries losing funding makes the world worse. These people made the world worse.
Send me your address and I’ll come spraypaint your house. If you don’t, you’re complicit in the system and you like genocide.
You’re right. Everyone knows that you can only be mad about one thing at a time. Right? Because the world is fully black and white?
Jesus fucking christ you’re an idiot.
How about I spray “Free Palestine” into your fucking mouth? You wouldn’t mind right? I’m sure you’d be talking about that.
Yep. This is one of those posts that should have just been a web search instead.
I’m on the extreme end. Any kind of “recommendations” are an immediate and complete turn off for me. Not just the obvious stuff like “sponsored” posts or “algorithmic social media” feeds. I abhor and avoid even things like Spotify recommendations, which most people consider useful.
Whether they intend it or not, these engines are built to funnel you back into the lowest common denominator, most broadly appealing stuff, because that’s what the algorithm sees gets the most clicks from the average person. Sure, everyone likes oatmeal, but that’s because its bland and inoffensive.
I want to find my own shit through my own idiosyncratic process.
Reading a physical newspaper is lovely. Highly recommend.
To reinforce the shift in company culture toward “empowering and rewarding every employee to find security issues, report them,” and “help fix them,” Smith said that Nadella sent an email out to all staff urging that security should always remain top of mind.
Yeah that ought to do it.
Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind so fine go do something else. We don’t care.
Board games. Find people who play board, card or roleplaying games. Sign up to an open group to play. Its an extremely social hobby with no pressure - you’re just there to play, and if some joking around and friendship happens, its a great bonus.
Punk isn’t dead, it just put on a dress and moved to Japan
My brain has coalesced around this fantasy version of who I was when I was 25.
I’m in my 30s now but when I imagine myself that’s who I picture. And funny enough that person wasn’t even who I was at that age. I was way insecure about so many of the things I now think back on fondly. Getting older is a funny thing.
Nope.
“If you don’t like it don’t fly”
Seriously just shut up.
Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.
Li Bai - Quiet Night Thought
床前明月光
疑是地上霜
举头望明月
低头思故乡
Before my bed bright moonlight pools
Almost like frost on the ground
Raising my head I see the shining moon
Bowing my head I think of home
Not exactly sure how they made it, but this sounds like “generative ambient” to me.
People make music that sounds similar to this using something called a “modular synthesizer” - its basically a big rack of individual synthesizers that each do one thing, and people plug them together to create “patches”. Then, they run a wave generator through them to generate ambient music that doesn’t actually require anyone to “play” anything during the piece.

Plenty of places you can do this. Put “homesteading” into a search engine of your choice and you’ll get more information on the topic than you can handle.
You’ll also pretty quickly realize its a very hard, tedious life and we have it pretty good in many ways in the modern world.
