No cavalry … and no calvary either … is going to ride over the hilltop and save us. We can only keep healthy, keep learning and keep doing the best we can for each other. Yeah, it matters today. And it’s always today.

THANKS for alerting me to another source of XKCD madness!
- Comment on The man who took in orphaned Peanut the squirrel says it’s 'surreal' officials euthanized his pet 2 weeks ago:
All pets were at one time wildlife. Killing one to save it… wow.
- Comment on Ghost jobs are wreaking havoc on tech workers 2 weeks ago:
It’s gross, fraudulent as three-card monte, and … as with many corporate tricksters … there needs to be a law with prison terms.

Thanks for reminding me of a great film I saw in theatres long ago… I was at a con once and heard Barry and bought his Workshop book … good to see he’s still kicking …
and thanks too for hooking me up with Feral Historian’s stuff (like his style) which I might never have found otherwise…

Now for the next test: 3 identical new styluses profiled, on 3 identical TTs, play Marcus Family vs. Metallica vs Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music.
After 100 hours compare stylus profiles to originals. Repeat after 1000 hours.

- Comment on Anti-Marijuana PSA: "The Death Drug" (1996) 6 months ago:
Powerful message. “Brought to you by DHHS, National Cigarette Foundation, Department of Education, Cigs4Kidz, and Viewers Like You.”
Don’t remember any PSA’s like that back when they were doing atmospheric testing of atom bombs down in Nevada for weeks on end.

Always have a good time when I run into this channel. Gotta be scary for drummers, but I’m not, maybe that’s it!
- Comment on ‘This is stealing’ ; Instagram account lets you squat in metro homes 9 months ago:
Needs discussion. I’m more concerned for kids -never being able- to buy a home. “Owner-built”, no problem.
- Comment on ‘This is stealing’ ; Instagram account lets you squat in metro homes 9 months ago:
It’s my opinion that housing is so basic a need that no house should be allowed to use for a gambling chip. The ‘housing market’ needs to be broken.
Only individuals may purchase individual homes, and must agree to occupy them as their primary and only residences until they sell and vacate them. (Live-in landlords included, e.g. boarders.)
As part of the deal, they must first find another individual buyer (under the same terms) for their present home.
(Futher stipluations needed, but none that permit violation of the above principle. )

- Comment on coming out to my straight brother 9 months ago:
It took many generations to be able to put the truth out there like this. Over and over until people recognize that -openly- living the truth, in a world where lying is so easy, is the definition of courage.
- Comment on The Collapse of The American Dream Explained in Animation 10 months ago:
Hmmm. I never learned all of this in high school. Hmmm. I wonder if that might have changed how I do stuff. But hey, I did learn how to make napkin holders and bird houses.
Oh well, I did eventually learn a lot of it. The slow and hard way.

- Comment on What If The United States Built A Transcontinental High Speed Rail Line? | Geography By Geoff (11:41) 10 months ago:
If it’s such a good idea, why aren’t the private RR companies getting together to ask that question? Questions like: who pays for it? what does ‘high speed mean’ (150mph average = about 20 hours), why transcontinenal (SF to NY is mostly EMPTY) and who’d benefit the most (not most of US).

- Comment on and then when I actually try to apologize to people I end up making it all about myself again 1 year ago:
It’s hard to be humble and eat a little crow without trying to explain a little. Being flustered doesn’t help you either when you’re trying to sum up. Happens.

- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
Is there really anyone left who -would drink it?
Instant coffee, instant sex … not pleasant, but over with quik. Now - get back to work. Slacker.
- Comment on I feel stupid asking this 1 year ago:
Are there any celebrities that are confirmed to be using lemmy?
Sheesh I hope not. Aren’t their marketers doing a good enough job? Many celebs want to be treated like ordinary people (which they all are, aside from their cardboard cutouts) and the last thing they need is be mobbed by idolators.
- Comment on Does anyone know the website that breaks down that Trump could potentially be the Antichrist? 1 year ago:
Stop googling! Try your search ‘Donald trump Antichrist’ at duckduckgo. The link at my first DDG result pointed out this article: hartmannreport.com/…/is-donald-trump-the-antichri…
