I never liked gyms. I get great workouts at home with a little open floor space and a stationary bike.

What part of this article says or demonstrates the "world is on the brink?"

Better understanding of the physical world than previous generations, for one thing. That and the advent of TV and Internet made it much harder to hide the hypocrisy and crimes.

At this point, what difference is there between actual cops and criminal imposters, other than real ones also get a paycheck while they're breaking into your house and ruining your life?

We showing off elderberries? Here's some sambucus cerulea

Back when I practiced law, I thought the same thing about services like LegalZoom. Thing is, laypeople are terrible at evaluating risk in a professional way. All they see are prices and marketing. Nobody cares about cybersecurity until they get ransomwared AND have a financial motive for preventing it. And most attacked companies now just shrug and hand out a year of credit monitoring from a company no one's heard of.

Doubtful. The oligarch class only needs a handful of good developers to make working code for rich people use. The rest of us are being stuck with half-assed AI slop. They're trying to carve 99% of us out of the economy (the parts that pertain to them) and relegate us to backbreaking wage slavery. Killing middle class jobs is the point, they think.

Not saying it's a good plan, but it sure looks like what they're trying to do.

Mmm hmm. Surely, the day is at hand when the GOP finds its moral center and openly revolts against Trump. We can't even get the goddamn Dems to oppose him in any meaningful way.

Yes, it's common. My understanding is it's actually more common in Europe and elsewhere, and on the rise globally. It's getting crowded on this planet, and people want easy answers.

sigh I can't believe you're making me copy edit this.

It's hotter outside right now than chaining a boy to my bed, ass up, and fucking him while shoving his head into a pillow and calling him a slut

See how much easier that is to read?

 

This particular flower is native to my geographic area, although there wasn't any in my suburban city. So I got a big bag of conservation seed and dumped it everywhere, and it went nuts. Best "weed" ever.

It flowers for most of the season, but it's most magnificent right now. Hoverflies and other tiny pollinators love it. Honeybees do too, but they're a little big for them.

 

Two of my favorites. The rose smells heavenly

 

By "unconventional" I mean something other than classical visual or audio arts like painting, sculpture, music, etc.

I've never been a very "artistic" person. But when I took my first programming class, I worked on my code like it was a sculpture. I found beauty in making my code clean, efficient, easy to read, and user-friendly. It still seems weird and affectatious to say, and I wasn't really expecting that kind of experience from that class! It was one of the only times I ever felt "artistic."

But why not? Any medium can be artful.

What's your non-traditional art?
