Provided I don’t get stuck in a camp before then, I’m about to start nursing school. Once I have a BSN I’m getting my ass to a blue state. In the meantime it’s SC and TX D:

Honestly, at this point, I think when is the more accurate term. Balkanization is coming, I’m pretty sure
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news. :)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Said it before and I’ll say it again: if Cascadia ever looks like it’s gonna become a thing I’ll drive myself there and be homeless rather than live in the US with a weakened and even more right wing Senate and house.

This is the way. And I sleep HOT. I will uncover my whole body and leave my feet covered. I cannot sleep with uncovered feet

If you are into solar punk slrpnk.net has been amazing for me. Due to some weird timing with the admin being out of town when the servers went down they’re down right now for a bit, so I’m not sure when they’ll be back up and running. But the current situation is a hiccup, not a consistent issue. I love the server, and if anything, the community reaction to the admin being unable to fix this for a few weeks has made me love it even more.

Thanks. She was my whole world. Like… Crazy close, best friend. It’s been rough. I appreciate the sentiment.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A simple solution, really⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s not far off for some of us. That’s about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn’t spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over… Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I’m now jobless. :/ life sucks

Facebook canning groups are a great idea, as someone else mentioned. Them little old ladies can do pretty amazing things on short notice. Can I suggest hitting up local churches? The methodists, Episcopal and baptists are all particularly fond of doing drives and such, and may be able to do an impromptu canning drive for y’all
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s one of the reasons I didn’t comment on the post itself, and only replied to another person. Because I can’t quite tell which way OP was leaning on that, and I didn’t want to be uncharitable.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’m a communist. I don’t mean to say I’m here because of the leftist population (though, that is nice sometimes, but as in any lefty heavy place there’s infighting and bullshit), but rather I have certain values that guide my decision making process, and one of them is not supporting massive corporations and shitty services when possible. Lemmy is an alternative to reddit that doesn’t benefit the same class of people as reddit, while actively benefiting the people who actually use it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I feel like ever since the term shifted from “gay liberation” to “gay pride” (and eventually to the more inclusive LGBTQ+ pride) it has hindered the movement in a lot of ways. Liberation tells you what this is about, pride tells you… You’re proud? Good for you. Lots of people are proud, but not all people need liberation (or, at least, not everyone thinks they need it).

I vote we go back to calling it Liberation, and instead of bickering over why people are at the queer event and not a workers event, we start organizing monthly or bimonthly events, a queer/LGBT liberation event, a women’s liberation event, a worker’s liberation event, Hispanic Liberation event… Let’s pepper the calendar with parties and parades and protests while drilling into people’s minds that we are all deserving of respect, autonomy, and liberation.

Not sure how well I said all that. I’m about 5 boozy horchatas in, and I hate to do the “as a gay man” thing, but I feel like I should mention I am, in fact, a gay, and I quite enjoy pride and what it stands for

Also, gotta say, I love Lemmy, but it still weirds me out being recognized across multiple communities. Like, noticing the same users in one subreddit over and over, or being recognized in the sub is one thing. But on Lemmy I notice the same names pop up in multiple communities, and have had people continue conversations from one community in another because they recognize the username. It’s a weird experience. I feel like I’m in Mayberry. Lol
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Whoops, yeah, typod that one. Sorry!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Made several because instances were going down left and right at one point. Lol. Finally settled on slrpnk, and only ever use this one when I accidently log into it without paying attention.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
32f is the same as 0c, and they’re both freezing. 0c is the temp at which brine freezes, but nobody really knows/cares about that. Where I live it down to -25f/-31c at least a few times a year, and normally you can expect at least a few weeks to a month below 32f/0c, but the last few years have been mild
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, nah, I’m on the side of the government paying for utilities. Human right to electricity. Figure out a system to prevent overuse, but everyone deserves to have heating and cooling when needed.

Generally, you should use a cloth tape measure to measure dick. There are instructions online if you look.

Also, 8 inches to the hilt is often not pleasant, so work with your partner and learn how deep your sigmoid colon is, and take it slow. Big ol’ dick slamming into a wall is not fun unless you are very particularly into it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have attempted science.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Thanks! That dust on the floor I’m guessing is basically poison, lye and the ashes from other offerings. That’s wild.

Is there a verse specific to when life begins? I’ve read that it’s upon drawing breath, but that’s the part I haven’t been able to find.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is at Jorvik Viking Center.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I imagine it was probably larger before it was… Dried out.

Also, 8 inches by 2 inches is pretty fucking large. I say this as someone who has had 8 inches back there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*So far*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Link?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have attempted science.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Ooh, you don’t happen to know a verse for this, do you? I’ve heard this before and tried to Google it, but my Google fu is lacking and I just end up finding right wing nut job websites.

Imagine if it just gets a leak in the head and you don’t realize. Queef/fart from hell afterwards.

Yeah, they 3d scanned my feets. The new insurance pays some, just not sure how much. 200 is the out of pocket.

Dammit, now I gotta start looking for shoulder blade porn, cause that is sexy…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social acceptability⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Up until a few ago I was getting my inserts from a local place, you put them in hot water and then stand on them for a couple minutes until they cool and harden.

Then I got insurance that covered them. The difference it makes is insane. I lost that insurance 2 years ago, and I’ve been alternating the 3 pair trying to get them to last as long as possible. At this point there’s not much left of them, but they’re all I’ve got. It’s 200 bucks for my next set (3 pair), and I’m gonna have to figure that out soon.
