I prefer audiobooks.

As a welder, I don't really need my ears to do my job, so that frees me up to listen to stories at work. It's great. It's like a movie playing in my head while I zone out.

There's also something very addicting about zoning out while holding something hotter than the surface of the sun in your hand, all casually and shit.

Hitler was a sociopath. He understood that other people liked dogs, and used it as a smoke screen to make himself seem more neurotypical. Nobody likes a freak at the eugenics party.

It didn't start there. It took 30 years to get past "we've tried everything to teach them to be human" and now it's time to check what's coming up on the list.

And we know one place they definitely won't charge in guns blazing is to protect kids in schools. We've seen it twice now, in both Uvalde and Broward counties. If Texas and Florida won't do it, nobody will.

No, as a native American, i can confirm you all suck and should leave.

Edit for clarification: I mean all settlers and their descendants. If you aren't first nation, you're in the wrong nation.

What a race traitor. A black guy in the US laughing about taking people from their homes to ship them off to unknown destinations is irony of the worst order. May every bite of chicken contain bone for the rest of his god forsaken days.

So senate bill 34? What kind of teeth does that have?

"The bill would, in addition to any other sanctions, penalties, or remedies provided by law, authorize an individual who has been harmed by a violation of these provisions to bring a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction against a person who knowingly caused the harm."

Oh, so none whatsoever. The penalty for violating this law is NOTHING unless someone goes through years and years of legal process to maybe, possibly get a law enforcement agency to the settlement table where they will get off Scott free once they wave around enough tax dollars to make the problem go away.

This is what I keep talking about. The laws for us have definite, immediate consequences. The laws for oligarchs and their thugs are VERY different. The entire legal system needs to be burned to the ground, the ashes pissed on, and a new system needs to be built somewhere far away. With blackjack. And hookers.

Shepard Book already showed us the way. Send them directly to the special hell.

Which one is the involuntary celibate?

Funnily enough, ignorance is a valid excuse here. You can't be expected to investigate the companies behind every single product you buy or use in the day to day, but that's not what were talking about here.

We're talking about Brandon Sanderson, specifically, and how his tithes to the Mormon church significantly contribute to the open oppression and abuse of LGBTQIA+ communities. You, buying your mistborn and stormlight archive books, are DIRECTLY supporting that behavior.

Every time he tithes to that house of abuse and oppression, he IS actively doing something bad. Is that not enough for you?

Because there's nothing wrong with enjoying the franchise as long as you aren't supporting it.

Books are available secondhand. Games and movies can be pirated. It doesn't cost anything to talk about a shared interest with friends.

Just don't give them money. Don't go to their theme parks. Don't buy the merchandise.

You can like a thing and still make a conscious effort not to support the creator. You just have to be clear about the why if anyone asks you about it.

 

Looking for recommendations for series with rebellion as a main focus. I want a MC that tells the elder council, noble assembly, ancient wizard circle, whatever high and mighty force to go to hell with their suggestions and orders. I liked the Embers of illeniel series where the MC decided to burn the whole world when he got the power to do it. I like the immortal great souls series where all authority is rightly viewed with suspicion. What else do you fine connoisseurs have for me?

 

I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.

Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.

He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.

We bothered him constantly his last two days, making him absolutely sick of us. We pet and loved him every moment of these last two days, and I held him sleeping on my chest for hours this morning. I don't think he could possibly have been more fed up with our emotional human nonsense if we'd tried. But I stayed with him every last second, and the last thing he could see when his eyes dilated was me.

I will never stop loving my boy.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to put my beautiful baby boy to rest on Monday. He's been getting very lethargic and lost his appetite. Spent 48 hours at the vet and he was treated for pancreatitis, kidney disease, and now we find heart failure. He's back home with all the meds he could need and he's comfortable.

He's my 17 year old very special boy. We've been extremely lucky with only 2 minor health issues that needed vet care and otherwise normal visits with clean bills of health. He's always been very strong (if very picky when it comes to eating) and he's been with me through the death of my mother and father.

Im honestly feeling pretty lost right now, but every time I look at him I can't help but feel it's time. He's got the best chance the vet can give him, but I still don't want to watch him suffer.

I really don't have much faith, but if you do, please pray for Bear.

Edit: Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am. It was extremely fast and he was so out of it he barely felt a thing. His suffering is over and so mine begins.
