Today what this whole convo needs. Apiarists and structural engineers.
- Comment on Thought I heard a buzzing 2 days ago:
I have heard that but the ones that live in my parents walls die en masse in the winter and it rarely gets below 50F. So I don’t know if that’s life cycle or cold?
- Comment on Thought I heard a buzzing 2 days ago:
I wonder if that would be up to code. What is the r-value of a bee box filled with bees and honey? Also, the consequences for punching a hole in the wall are now immediate and serious.

You don’t think a man has ever tried to use divorce as a threat to change his spouses behavior?
- Comment on Anon has marital problems 2 days ago:
Ned and Ted have a marriage bed
Monogamy is good for Ted
Many hungry holes has Ned
Ned shares the marriage bed
with other men not named Ted
Ted says Ned must quit their bed
Because of commitments that once were saidTed now sleeps alone it seems
For freedom Ned no longer dreams The problem wasn’t that Ted was cucked
The problem is that Ned just sucked - Comment on Anon has marital problems 2 days ago:
Such a weird obsession. Some people are shitty and infidelity can be terrible but to spend so much mental energy focusing on the humiliation and righteous anger part is bizarre. No one cares you were cucked. Women aren’t property and some of them suck. Everyone understands that some people suck. No one cares you were cucked.
- Comment on Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs 3 days ago:
It’s medical advice because it came from a doctor in a professional setting when we were discussing how to get more iron in their diets since we don’t eat many fortified foods. Kale and broccoli are close enough nutritionally to be swapped if one is just looking for the vitamins and minerals. Lastly, It the longest I’ve ever continuously followed a recommendation and it has made my life way easier. That makes it the best advice I’ve gotten.
- Comment on Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs 3 days ago:
Many years ago my kids pediatrician recommended feeding the kids kale smoothies. I didn’t have any Kale at home so I cooked bunch of broccoli to mush and mixed it with bananas. Those kids eat half a pound of broccoli for breakfast just about every day now. They also eat it raw or crunchy cooked. Definitely the best medical advice I’ve ever gotten and the kids are used to a very simple and quick to make breakfast that keeps them full for hours.
Tldr: Kids constantly surprise me and sometimes they like vegetables.

What I like to remind myself is that we judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions.

Hopefully they are at least teenagers. Childhood is too early for cigarettes these days

Cope. Also, thinking that casual sex is the standard is self defeating if pleasure is the goal. Casual sex is cool because it requires very little of the participants. Get off and get going, everyone is somewhere between satiety and scratched itch in terms of payoff.
Long term partnered sex is like an ongoing conversation about pleasure and likes and dislikes and leads to way more fulfilling encounters. It can also just scratch the itch but has more upstream pleasure potential ime.

I think your complaint is similar to that of non smokers when smoke breaks were normal. What you see as preferential treatment is just how everyone should be treated.
Also, In my 20 or so years in the legitimate workforce, I have seen parents cut slack and parents get run off because the boss doesn’t like people having other priorities. In my direct experience it’s been a lot more boss dependent than anything else. - Comment on Trying to retain your sanity while married 1 week ago:
Too much jpeg. I think it’s Sherman Williams Sunny Cthulu

Damn this is way better than the original.
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 1 month ago:
It just improves the ability to focus. It doesn’t really make one focus on the right thing. Also, the alteration in abilities isn’t free. The good effects of any drug are weighed against the side effects. There is always an opportunity cost to any drug. The poster above you was right on with his steroid comparison.

Firefox for Android. Wouldn’t load the list of beaches for me until I turned off shelter. Just kept reloading whatever frame is beneath the text input.

I’ve used that website in the past with no problem but a heads up I had to turn on js and off antifingerprinting to get it to load this time. For all those more security conscious than I
- Comment on Support local bands 1 month ago:
I used to love big arena shows until I saw a famous band do a three night stand at a small bar/club style venue. After that, I started going to shows of bands/performers I hadn’t heard of. Changing how I thought of shows, where before I thought of it as an event like going to see a theatre play, to thinking about them similarly to how I’d think of going to the movie theater made the whole live scene seem more accessible and more fun. I hope when my kids are older we can start going to more shows again.
I read an article that said being in a band is less appealing to kids these days and that being an influencer is more popular than wanting to be a Rockstar. I hope it’s just “old man yells at clouds” because I feel like there is always room for more local acts. Support your neighbors, go dance!

Takes forever to find the flight feathers on the little guys and it’s very intricate work.
- Comment on Goodwill is out of control 2 months ago:
I understand the frustration but Goodwill sells all that stuff to support it’s job training and skills program. Here’s the mission statement . Most people see it’s value as a place to donate old stuff or to buy used clothes cheaply but the organization sees it’s purpose differently.

Not they could. They do. You can buy squab in restaurants. Maybe stores but none I’ve seen.

- Comment on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 2 months ago:
You don’t need to purify to drink it just extract it. It’s hard to smoke enough opium to OD (which I guess counts as concentration through evaporation but isn’t purified to seperate alkoloids) to death without other drugs but it is pretty easy to over do it with just tea. Like a previous poster said tea extractions will have wildly varying potencies so they can kill even those with tolerance.
- Comment on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 2 months ago:
It doesn’t really need to be processed much. Heated plant parts for tea and the sap is ready to smoke after drying. Both of these processes do count as processing but I would not say it counts as "process[ing] the shit out of it. "
- Comment on If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the see can this be done? Or is it even legal? 2 months ago:
I’m sure you can just rent a boat and set it off yourself. Starting a fire than will burn up a boat is probably the easiest part. But hey man, keep your head up. Things will get better.

Cool, like Melancholia maybe? Either way I’ll give it a watch.
- Comment on If Republicans have Project 2025. Why don't Democrats have their own guide book? 2 months ago:
As well as the other good answers you’ve received here is also the fact that they are in power currently. If dems were out of power outside groups would be publishing policy books and papers to influence the direction going forward in the coming retool. They probably are now. But as has been said the dems have an actual platform to attack so only policy wonks and fever swamp dwellers read and attack the papers coming out of democratic leaning institutions right now.

Fisher cat was the Animal of the day or whatever on pbs kids today. I’ve seen the same 30 second blurb about them several times. Now I’ve seen this comment and a lemmy post about the Animal. Real red car syndrome thing happening for me
