We should shut down those data centers and make their operators do climate remediation work.

My current cat does not help with bugs. One time a giant centipede looking thing came into the bedroom, on the ceiling. He looked at it, got up, and left the room.

I see a lot of Nirvana shirts on the youth and I’m never sure if they like the band or just the shirt, either.

I did see a blue-haired youth with a My Chemical Romance shirt the other day and I’m pretty sure they were a sincere fan, though.

That’s because they’re obviously horrible people who do not have the best interests of the world in mind.

Sure, for a generous definition of “possible”. However I don’t see how you get from there to “either all are, or all are not”.

Like, you could at some point have said we don’t understand magnetism. You couldn’t from that argue that either all metals are magnetic or none are.

Ehh. It’s hard for me to relate to low executive function, but you’re not wrong.

I think the key metric isn’t time to reply. The stakes matter- replying quickly to a meme is less important than, like, making plans. If someone isn’t responsive about if they want to go, then I probably don’t get a ticket for them, and they can’t come to the show with us. Sorry. You were busy.

And the quality is also important. I’ve got friends that will reply like a day or two later, but then we usually have a whole conversation.

If someone is replying every few days with “lol” tier responses, it’s going to feel like a waste of my time.

either all plant matter and all animal matter are consious or they are all not

man what

Seems reasonable. I’ve seen other people proposing that or similar solutions to the supreme Court.

Nothing will change without some rich people becoming very uncomfortable

You’re making me grapple with how expensive housing is here. A down payment for a two bedroom apartment in Brooklyn is going to be like $100-200k.

It’s fine, I tell myself. I can walk to everything I need and take transit to everything else.

$50k is a weird amount.

If you’re currently financially in crisis, it will probably save your life. But if you’re doing okay, it probably won’t change your life much. And if you’re even mildly rich, like six figure salary, you might not even notice.

I’d probably just put it in vanguard or a high yield savings, in preparation for bigger expenses that are probably coming (eg: moving, unemployment)

As with all things involving humans, you can’t really change minds with facts. It’s just emotions and peer pressure.

Not a bad post, but I expect it won’t sway people who aren’t already on board.

I’m happy I never developed a soda habit.

I pretty much only buy snacks and junks for parties. A normal sized bag of chips was like $7 yesterday. The smaller tostitos were labeled like $5.50.

I’d love to see some sort of general strike or mass boycott, but there’s not enough organization, and things aren’t bad enough for it to happen en masse spontaneously.

I’d never heard of this person before, except last night at a party someone mentioned them. No one else had heard of him. I’m okay not knowing who online people are.

One of the things that feeds into my insufferable smugness about living in a walkable city is I haven’t paid for gas in years (outside of like… maybe 2 road trips a decade). It’s just not something I think about.

I had the luxury of being able to move somewhere with trains and buses, though.

I buy albums. Built up a nice library. No drm. No Internet required. I can even share it or pass it on. It’s a lot easier to share than my parents’ big record collection

Surely this guy has an address

I wanted this to go to trial so the jury could nullify, but this is a shit timeline.

I think a plain cheese pizza is slightly different than a margherita pizza. It won’t typically have the basil leaves, and the cheese is more uniform.

I’m thinking of like dollar slice pizza. Like these https://secretnyc.co/seamless-dollar-cheese-slice/

But I’m not a pizza-ologist.

Speaking on behalf of a friend, as I prefer toppings: they discovered that a variety of things give them body problems, and it’s easier to just do a plain cheese pie than to try to guess if peppers are going to upset their body today.
