- Comment on Why Should I... 52 minutes ago:
Im doing what I can to avoid factory farmed food, because for all the talk of ending factory farming I have yet to see any progress outside of angry internet comments. Im going for harm reduction in my own life.

Have you ever kept bees? They make a ton of honey in excess of what they need.
- Comment on Why Should I... 1 hour ago:
I like eggs. And baking.
My eggs are sourced from a dozen of the most spoiled hens I’ve ever seen. They have a half acre of bugs, grass, and weeds to run around in. They are more pets than livestock.
- Comment on US diesel prices hit a record high, pushing up transportation costs for a long list of goods 21 hours ago:
So your commute is a fraction of a commute in the US.
Here it might be a 30-45 minute ride in a car. One way. Do you see why $5 fuel would be a much larger problem here?
I have an EV
Good for you. So do I.
Everything you own and eat involves a diesel engine somewhere. That is the real problem. People with EV’s have to eat still.

Or was planted/harvested by a tractor.
- Comment on Walmart Shopping Carts Left Feet Away from the Cart Corral. 1 day ago:
In the US Aldi grocery stores do this.
It has mixed effectiveness. Usually people put their carts up, but not always because “who cares its a quarter”.
- Comment on when u stub ur toe on the coffee table 6 days ago:
Hey baby, are you my little toe?
Because Im probably going to bang you on the coffee table later.
- Comment on Life is hard 6 days ago:
Probably, but the hot side of the car’s AC is outside of the car typically in front of the radiator.

- Comment on 2027 gonna be like... 1 week ago:
Same thing but what Im talking about will be a larger scale. There are people still living in Loiusiana and New Orleans, although there are probably smaller towns that are empty.

What has four legs and says “Boo”?
A cow with a head cold.

As someone who had to leave at 4 am when the water kept getting deeper in 2019, I agree.

A lot of the US seems to think nothing will change, ever. This is why you see them deploying 50 year old aircraft against a country tha has drones. This is why they keep trying to make bettee gasoline engines instead of making better batteries. Its everywhere.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
I don’t… think so?
Im sort of an emergency draftsman. Someone sends in some piece of machinery that is broken/worn out. Said machine is taken apart. Any parts that need to be replaced are dropped on my desk (if they are small enough) and im asked to figure out what this scrap metal used to look like, so I can make a 3D model and drawing of it. That drawing is given to someone who actually knows what they are doing, and they will replicate the part.
This leaves me with random downtime, I have used that time the last year or so to study and get my drone license.
And that’s the cool part. I’m a drone pilot. Ten year old me is looking on with approval.

Best refugees, like you’ve never seen before, with their shiny cars and heads down in their phones
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
Yaaaay.
Sometimes we are disappointed to wake up and find that society hasn’t collapsed.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
That’s part of what I do.

Think so? Do you think the money-obsessed in your country won’t jump at the chance to play along?
- Comment on 2027 gonna be like... 1 week ago:
I keep thinking that the next Katrina or Andrew or Helene scale hurricane is going to just make whatever part of the US it hits uninhabitable. Its going to be bad enough that nobody rebuilds in that area, and we have our first refugees.
Something slightly off-topic that happened at work last week, an air conditoning unit stopped working. It was easily fixed but it broke down exactly like what was mentioned in Neal Stephenson’s book “Termination Shock”. Ants crawled into the contactor and kept it from closing all the way. We could really end up with Relay Refugees.

Lol. Lmao even. These idiots aren’t going to stay in the US. The line has to go up, that means they need more bodies.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
The worst part of my day, the worst part almost every single day, is when I have to unwrap myself from the arms of those who love me the most before getting in a vehicle and driving away from them at the maximum legal speed. All the nonsense at work I can mostly handle. I even have a job where I can be creative, I’ve got a job so cool that if I mentioned my job title, nobody would believe me.
But I really just want to be home with my wife.
- Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe? 1 week ago:
“Boom, Headshot!” comes long before “Boom, Head” in the US, sadly.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
Ohhh that’s bad. No pay and no food makes it difficult to run a ship.
Maybe. I would have thought there would have been brass pushed over the side just for that food but I don’t know if that’s happened.

There are radio ads too. Every single one is either “buy a car”, “You have low-T and need to come get shots to be a Real Man™”, or “Buy these boner pills for your sad limp dick”
