- Comment on How do you wash a weighted blanket, is it just the outside you wash after removing it? 2 weeks ago:
I washed mine in a standard washer/dryer for about two years before a pouch tore and it began to leak weighted material. I am still unclear if it was a washer/dryer damage issue or if my new dog with God damn demon nails poked a hole in it. I honestly think it was the dog.
Most should be machine washable in cold water on the gentle/delicate cycle without any addons (no fabric softener, certainly no bleach) before tumble drying on low, which you may need to do twice and could also be where I fucked mine up (I dried it on Hellscape Hawt one time.).
- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have a problem with paying income tax. I do have a problem with how my taxes are spent.
Every. Single. Day. I have to hear about the US MIC turning people into skeletons for freedom. Once a year I drive by a local project, such as adding wheelchair accessible ramps to the local park, and get to feel good that some of my taxes are helping people.
Everybody is stressed out all of the time by the Sword of Damocles that is US healthcare, hoping that they do not get any kind of illness because then they will be broke, but my income taxes go to fund the free as fuck healthcare that the people in congress, who are the people denying universal healthcare to everyone else, enjoy and enables them to live. for. fucking. ever.
Real wages in the US haven’t kept pace with inflation, but my income taxes don’t subsidize food and housing. They subsidize corporations that gamble with peoples’ homes and retirements.
Capitalism is infecting every level of society with this “I got mine” mentality that spreads isolation and mental illness, but my income taxes go to the never-ending militarization of the American police force.
Americans are increasingly undereducated and ill-informed, but my income taxes increasingly go toward the funding of theological charter schools that teach people that the world is 6,000 years old and that humans existed with dinosaurs.
I don’t agree with the majority of things that my income taxes pay for, but if I try to refuse to pay then, then I will lose my home and my freedom to get ground to death in this indifferent American hellscape, my wife will lose access to healthcare and die, and my daughter will be next up in the queue to be crushed by a government that doesn’t. give. a. fuck.

- Comment on Who discovered/"invented" fire? 2 weeks ago:
That information is lost to pre-history, but probably either Ug or Urg. Those guys were like the Wright Brothers of cave shit.
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 2 weeks ago:
Brother, it sounds like you are depressed. Maybe it’s job related, maybe it’s not. A few things to do are:
- Talk to your medication provider about these symptoms and consider medication specifically for depression.
- Talk Therapy. Pills are good, talk therapy is approximately ::checks notes:: 10,000 times better. 2.1. Find a therapist that is a good fit. I’ve had good therapists over the years, and I have had bad therapists. My current therapist is amazing and a the reason why I didn’t die by suicide in January.
- Don’t ‘should yourself’. Avoid using that word to describe anything, ever. You don’t have to do or enjoy anything right now, and you can’t feel bad for suffering from (probably) depression. It’s a mental illness. You didn’t do anything wrong and you are certainly not to blame.

- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 4 weeks ago:
You can explode a nuclear bomb by activating the firing mechanism. This will make the mushroom cloud. If you blow something up NEXT to a nuclear bomb, you can scatter the bomb components and create a dirty bomb, which is just a regular explosion plus SOME radiation.

- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 months ago:
I’m doing pretty good then. Where I live has been so historically abundant in resources that people were able to just sort of vibe.
I would also establish a calendar, convey it to the locals, and warn them of what is to come along with a timeline.
