You thought it was mediocre? Man, that’s one of my favorite movies.

They’ve also allowed ICE to use at least one of their Minneapolis locations as a staging/preparation area for their kidnapping operations.

Are we talking about the ceremony of marriage or the legal contract? I highly recommend committing yourself to a partnership if you find one, but personally I don’t see a benefit to government marriage in many cases.

In the last few years, Minneapolis has become a sanctuary for Transplants. We’ll take care of you!

Goodbye! You’re right that much or most of the fanbase is childish morons, but some of us are not that.

Data point: This was addressed in the documentary The Cove, which is about dolphin hunting. Fishing companies insisted that dolphin meat was an important part of the Japanese diet, but when they interviewed folks on the street they looked confused and laughed at the idea of eating a beautiful dolphin.

They’re asking what the parent commenter meant by “deviant ollam folding scissors.”

2C-I is my favorite probably, but I haven’t taken it in 15 years and these days it might be too intense for me. I take LSD and MDMA 6-10 times per year though.

Same. Even adjusting for inflation, if I went back and told myself 10 years ago what I’d be earning in 2025, past me would think it’s “buy-whatever-I-want-money.” I can buy everything I need, but I never seem to have much left over.

I agree, and to the comment above you, it’s not because it’s guaranteed to reduce symptoms. There are many ways that talking with another person is good for us.

CBT is one treatment for depression - and you should stick with whatever’s helpful for you - but it’s not THE treatment. In the last couple decades there’s been a trend towards more flexible and integrative models like ACT and IFS. These models suggest that our efforts to avoid “bad” thoughts and feelings actually causes more suffering and keeps us stuck. Integrative models focus on allowing those things to exist, or even welcoming them in.

Do you have a source on your claim that data centers recycle water? Because these researchers state that 80% of the water is evaporated, and the other 20% is discharged to municipal wastewater facilities.

I wonder if it was inspired by Alvin Lucier’s “I am Sitting in a Room”

This happens in a smaller way with access to prenatal testing and abortions. Parents with access to those things are at least able to detect and avoid the more debilitating birth defect, while parents without access are more likely to have a child with a severe birth defect. If they’re already struggling materially, that can sometimes guarantee that both the parents and child will have no upward mobility.

Also not the person you replied to, but your comment is exactly the language they’re cautioning against. If I saw your comment attributed to a far-right nationalist, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Personally I think using dehumanizing language to describe fascists is letting them off the hook. I might want to believe we don’t share any DNA, but they’re humans who arrived at a certain worldview the same way I did. It’s just that their worldview is violent and disgusting.

AC adapters

The limited distribution makes people think it’s a mind-blowing beer. It’s pretty good.

Also from Minnesota here. For stereotypes, do you love the state fair? Are you friendly to strangers but don’t exchange contact info? Do you still have friends from elementary school?

I agree with another comment about separating Anglo authors from others. My favorite Anglo author is Cormac McCarthy. I feel self-conscious as he’s a white man who writes manly stories about white men, but his style is hypnotic to read. He uses obscure words that I’ve never heard before, but somehow I know what they mean because it flows so well.

What are you talking about?
