What funding sources do the police have that doesn't come from taxpayers? Unless it was direct donations of guns, it's still a funding source that could have offset other costs, right?

For me what helped was finding ways to enjoy exercise and focusing on that. I think some of it almost was like self delusion at first, but now I legitimately enjoy my exercise routine. Treating it like some terrible tasting medicine you have to endure makes it easier to stop when you aren't in a great place. That's not to say that I don't still have days where I don't want to start, but once I get going I'm happy I did.

It's nice to have positive indicators of progress, but for some people it's difficult for that to be your sole motivation.

I think the anti-Covid vax nonsense has made it so a lot of people wouldn't take *any *future vaccine. Even if it were an even more deadly virus, even if right wing media wanted to push it, most of them are just too brainwormed now.

Genocidal freaks just laying it all out. Smiling and saying every Israeli would push a button to kill every single Palestinian, and basically admitting it has nothing to do with hostages(I assume that's what the statement "even if it happens later" means).

Edit: They have a Twitter post saying this was taken out of context. What context could make this better?!?!

One of the early Bitcoin arguments was that it would help marginalized people in the global south who were cut off from traditional banking.

Fast forward to fairly recently, when some people in Palestine are using crypto to receive aid, Binance cut off access when Israel asked. No court orders necessary. Turns out crypto is easier to freeze than money in traditional banking.

Anyone ever read Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow? It was in a stack of books destined for the trash, I didn't even read the synopsis fully, I just grabbed it because I enjoy gilded era aesthetics. It was really good, I ended up reading it in 2 days.

I'm curious what other people think about it.

Tor works on clearnet just fine. A lot of sites block tor exit nodes, or at least limit them from creating accounts, but that shouldn't matter here.

Ive seen someone get banned here for saying all US politicians are bad to the wrong mod

I don't believe that. Care to link the thread? There's a modlog where we can see such things.

I will not touch grass, no matter how nice you make it sound

I'll drop my tip on how to consume it:

Put your dose in a small container with a lid that seals well. Add hot water from the tap, shake vigorously. Drink it and chase with warm water.

This is the method I've found that eliminates the tendency to get gritty powder stuck in your throat and mouth. It also helps if you dislike the taste, just don't breathe before you do the chaser.

He's blowing it. I think this election, and probably every national election from here on out, will be won and lost on turnout. When the base is excited, they turn out.

He's definitely lost it, but even if you brought back 2016 Trump, it's all background noise now. In 2016 he said stuff that shocked most people, including republicans, today that stuff is not even as extreme as what the average republican congressperson tweets. He's been doing the same speeches for 8 years with minor changes.
