Prison industrial complex goes brrrrrr

Disco Pogo - Die Atzen

The entire song is about the drop. But damn, if it ain’t worth the wait.

Depends what tea I’m making. For green and white teas I will add water first (175-185F) then steep the tea bag for 3-4 minutes.

If I’m making black tea or some fruity/herbal tea, I will toss the bag in first, then pour in boiling water and steeping for 3-5min depending on preference.

Too much detail. Needs more jpg

My parents immigrated from “communist” Poland years ago and had similar conservative views. Abortion bad, church good, black people lazy, etc… It took years of discussions and disagreement to get them to think in a more progressive way, and yes, having siblings helps. And if you can convince one parent, they can help you convince the other.

I truly believe that art is one of the best ways to alter the way people think. I found that watching movies/documentaries with my parents that had strong ecological and humanitarion viewpoints were a great way to start these discussions. Movies about topics like systemic racism, homophobia, corporate greed/fraud, environmental destruction, religious abuse, etc…

For example, the Netflix documentary ‘13th’ have real insight into how the systemic racism uses poverty to keep marginalized people poor and desperate enough to commit crimes. Which are then blamed on their skin color rather than their on economic situation.

We gotta put the poors somewhere…/s

Amazing dad joke. I’m totally using that someday lol

I personally think it will take a complete shift in human mentality. One that will only come about via artistic movements, whether that be music, painting, film, or even propaganda posters.

IMO, art is the most important factor for bring about such a massive cultural shift. Kind of like how art in the Renaissance caused people to view life more scientifically and logically instead of based purely of faith.

Similarly, art from the the hippie movement in the 70s promoted peace and love instead of competitiveness, war and destruction.

Reddit has the same issue. People will post an article in like 6, somewhat related subreddits and the feed would be quite repetitive.

Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

I mean … It’s not shrinking though. It’s still increasing, just at a slower rate.

So the cancer would still be growing, just not as fast. It’s certainly not a remission, as you mentioned.

How many companies need to lie about following environmental regulations until we try a different approach to protecting the environment?

When VW lied about their vehicles emissions, people were shocked. Then Toyota admitted to doing the same. And I’m sure there are many more companies that haven’t been caught yet.

I’m hoping to be fully self-hosted by then.

For now… Do you really think they’re immune to enshitification if they become more popular?

Most of there are one of the cheapest beers you can get. I’m sure that is a major factor.

Pretty much all of them 😂😭

Does that make Excel the operating system? Or is it the firmware/BIOS

That’s probably cause the userbase was flooded with bots to make up the difference

Hydroponics, when combined with indoor, vertical farming, is the reason that the Netherlands are one of Europe largest exporters of food. Even though they’re one of the countries with the least amount of farmland.
