I consider the internet unusable without an ad blocker, ESPECIALLY youtube. I can’t imagine life without it. It would be like camping without a tent, I guess I could get by but it can really suck depending on where you go.

is that a perfusion pump?

A lot of people are pretty pissed at the dems for not doing enough too. They’re so obsessed with being a party for everyone that they’ve become a party for no one, theres a huge divide between what people want and what they’re doing. They need to unify, organize and take some stances even if it pisses some people off. I think a lot of people are just demoralized and “politically homeless” as in they just don’t identify with either party so what is the point? What would be cool is if a bunch of randoms ran third party on their own ideas and formed a coalition but good luck with that

Nice I love a good shitpost

I’ve seen 196 pop up a lot but i’m not in the loop, whats the community about?

I’m working on a 2.5 year degree to upgrade my credentials while working part time and i’ve been on autopilot/pause the entire time. I can’t remember the last time I did something because I wanted to do it and not because i had to or it was in my schedule. Oh well I’m almost done, my remedy will be a nice vacation and having evenings and weekends back.

I saw an ULTP a while back about making your font colour the same as the paper/background (white) and spamming a bunch of key words and skills that the AI is looking for to get your resume sorted to the top of the pile. I’ve considered doing that but I already have a good resume for my field.

I gained an appreciation for how precise/sharp our tools are when I learned microtomy. If you so much as touch the cutting edge with anything outside of its intended use it messes up that area of the blade instantly. Same goes for a nice pair of chef’s knives.

The words “I’ve been excommunicated!” or “I’m a blood donor!” they’ll never talk to you again!

Ya its a decent start. My point here is the scale of what we’re facing. Its going to take trillions of dollars, synchronous action taken by many nations simultaneously and a complete restructuring of the current world order. There’s always hope but at this point i’m fairly cynical and don’t have a lot of faith that the right people are in charge to even start the conversation.

solar panels or something? No one is stopping climate change with $10K, I don’t even think $10B would make a substantial dent.

I’ve found that the world is indifferent to your existence so I’ve take the “we’re here for a good time, not a long time” approach. I enjoy traveling/seeing what the world has to offer. It can be super fun immersing yourself in different cultures. Then I go back home and escape in fiction however I can from books, tv, movies, video games. I work out, challenge myself, learn languages, have hobbies that I find joy and meaning in. I just do and surround myself with things that make me happy. Get a dog or cat, they’re awesome company! that’s all i’ve got. I’m feeling pretty down lately too due to personal circumstance but I take “me time” very seriously.

Its kind of tricky, the homeless are quite a diverse population from people just down on their luck to hard drug users with nothing to lose to violent assholes to people with mental health issues/impairments. There is’t a one size fits all problem. you can’t put such a mix of people together with the one commonality of them being homeless and expect everything to work out, they all have very different needs. Some people might make it out ok if you gave them a couple grand and temporary shelter to get them back on their feet, others might need long term care/support their whole lives and others might need institutionalization. I don’t know what the answer is.

I’m still using the audiobooks so I’ll keep it unless there is a better app for audiobooks specifically.

After 15 listening hours they let you finish the chapter then block listening until the next month and its a stupid amount of money to top up. Unfortunately I have all my music and podcasts tied to the base service and thats the only thing keeping me there. If I’m paying a monthly fee I feel entitled to unlimited anything.

I just want unlimited audiobook listening this 15 hours thing is bullshit. I nearly dropped spotify the second I got that notification out of spite.

I’m a big burger’s priest fan, holy smokes rules.
