Fuck my “compatriots”, nations are made up and the geopolitical lines do not matter to me. I do not care more for someone because they are born or reside in the same country as me. The country as an entity can also get fucked, it’s too big and built on death and greed.
Aichteeteepee, colon slash slash, doubleyoudoubleyoudoubleyou dot…
Sometimes I like to think about what the world would look like if Columbus sank in the Atlantic. How long until another European sailed West?
We’re all humans of Earth too but I can only work on my little pocket of it. I’m no more responsible for what happens in Senegal than I am for Texas or Florida or Pennsylvania.
Why pick that border to respect? Do you have political influence in South Carolina? Was your state one of the handful that hasn’t voted the same way in every presidential election of the last forty years? Is your senator a Republican in a district that could have gone either way if you had personally mobilized a couple dozen non-voters?
Because I sure fucking don’t fit into any of those buckets so leave me out of your “we”.
Are you lumping yourself in with anti-vax South Carolinans with that “we”? Because I sure as fuck am not.
It’s not a political situation, it’s a societal problem. We need at least an entire generation replaced or re-educated, all these R voters aren’t going to just change their minds and stop being bigoted Christofascists.
Other than that it’s work that junior coders could be doing, to develop the next generation of actual good developers.
Good thing there’s plenty of appropriately disparaging things to say.
I can cook my own burger and that’s the direction “justice” is going if shit stays on this trajectory.
Yeah but we can’t possibly hold people accountable for the actions of their company, think of the shareholders!
Search Engine Optimization, makes content more findable through Google and such.
High-top is tricky right now, they aren’t trendy so options are limited. If you haven’t looked at skate shoes, Vans has more options than most and are pretty affordable. There’s also ebay and a huge market of sneaker resellers but I can’t make specific recommendations there. Good luck finding something you like, I also have a hard time finding stuff that fits right and doesn’t look stupid.
Depends on… well, a lot of factors. I’d start by looking at “walking shoes” and “trail runners”, they tend to be lightweight and comfortable without fully giving up on durability. Appearance is a matter of taste.
Consistency is a very big deal for commercial products, they have a legal requirement for accurate labeling.
Because it doesn’t last long in cans. All the extra ingredients are to keep the appearance and taste stable. Meats and starches are particularly hard to safely can without preservatives.
It’s literally how societies function. We’re seeing it collapse in real time where that’s not an option.
That’s kinda the problem. We don’t have an income tax so everything is handled through sales and property (and miscellaneous fees and levys but I don’t want to get too granular). It disproportionately impacts lower-earning households who see a much greater proportion of their money lost to daily expenses or housing costs that raise far faster than their wages. We literally cannot enact a fair income tax because the atate constitution disallows anything but a flat rate which also disproportionately affects lower incomes.
Eh, WA has a very regressive tax system that needs a change to the state constitution to fix before it can be a shining paragon of goodness. That and the ludicrous cost of housing/living.
I’m prepared to endure hardship if it means the racists of the world have less power.
