Great idea! Many of them offer a nice color palette too. I’ll try it.

Lol you’re not alone. I think someone commented something similar last night. And you’d have plausible deniability too, since the blue is “accidentally” allowed to show between the white and red stripes.

Focus on maximizing empty horizontal surface space.

ETA: tldr — “picking up,” interpreted literally, is an endlessly useful principle of housekeeping.

Most of the gastrointestinal distress from capsaicin is the result of poison countermeasures triggered by contact pain signals.

But capsaicin is telling your cells a lie which fewer believe each re-telling, so it requires increasingly ridiculous doses to trigger those internal signals.

If you eat spicy food regularly, you likely won’t get any internal signals again until you graduate to a different category of spiciness, such as extracts.

Hot sauce nerds consider extracts cheating, since you can achieve heat that’s many orders of magnitude above what the hottest pepper hybrids can produce, but do what you must to feel alive.

You’re right, but I wouldn’t guess the intern they tasked with graphics design has ever looked too closely.

Yeah, actual Russian collusion aside, anyone who thinks the horizontal stripes in that stylistic divider are supposed to be Russian flags is probably a prime target for ragebait like this.

And if this describes you, consider how the divider is reminiscent of the ribbon used to adorn many official medals. Has the US been secretly promoting the modern Russian flag for hundreds of years? Probably not.

Guessing… my chemical romance?

IIRC caffeine temporarily blocks adenosine receptors, so I think that does work up to a point.

Yes I wasn’t referring to the comment I replied to, but rather all the replies below it. I can see how that might be confusing so I’ll clarify the comment.

Regardless, you’ve probably seen better examples of what I’m talking about, and if you have any ideas, I’m all ears.

Can someone explain to me these little self-flagellation parties that seem to appear with every other dystopian headline in this community?

I mean like this mopey circlejerk right here, with Americans unironically declaring “no one is doing anything!” when literally every day brings more news from the hundreds of large active US protests which lately have been maturing as the fash behaves predictably. Even if that weren’t the case, isn’t the obvious solution to “be the change” or are we not doing basic grassroots work anymore?

This shit is really persistent on lemmy, like some kind of self-affirming narrative to excuse inaction, or maybe doomerist/accelerationist propaganda, or some other internet koolaid I’m too offline to understand.

But I want to know how to get the disillusioned circlejerkers plugged into local efforts. The boots on the ground reality of the work being done, not to mention all the preparation leading up to this phase, seems like it’s right in front of them yet they can’t/won’t see it. We really need all the help we can get.

And on a personal level, it’s getting hard to watch them on here whining that no one is doing anything, high-fiving each other for admitting they’re also not doing anything, and other one-downsman-ship type behaviors, because a bunch of people have been busting ass out here for a while and like, if you don’t want to or can’t help, fine. But then you don’t get to complain on the internet that we’re not doing enough.

You’re describing pragmatism, a solutions-oriented mindset.

I’m referring to left’s problem with edgy despair evangelists suffering from a deliberately propagated fascist contagion that must be recognized and treated rather than allowed to spread.

Why? Because it deactivates would-be activists (including, for example, voters who had the chance to prevent this fascist takeover). It is not harmless. It must be addressed.

I’m addressing an instance of doomerism. Participation of current or former military in the rebellion occupies my thoughts far less than that, currently.

Yep. Also exposed type A receptacle. OK for table tops. Not OK for outdoor balcony railing.

Breathe. We will get through this, and how is a question worth considering, as the commenter above was doing before your sweaty takedown.

If you need to share this burden of despair with someone, my DMs are open. Spreading it among comrades is not OK.

Haha was going to offer this. Currently live in a predominantly Spanish-speaking neighborhood and hear the distinction made often. It must be useful to have the additional word in between here and there.

Ah yes, the synostics

I would say it’s absolutely normal and quite common to feel out of place, or like you don’t belong, and what fills in the blank of what’s on the other side is mostly arbitrary.

What’s more, having grown up in many countries and hearing something like this from other young people, I would say it’s not just normal in Germany, or even the West. It’s normal everywhere.

I think the easiest way to gain a fuller perspective of cultures you’re curious about is to live among them, and while now might not be the best time to visit the US, I think you can gain exposure to lots of new global cultures just by spending time in one of the many world cities, the closest of which is Berlin. From there, many others are just a train away.

Long short, it’s normal to wonder where you fit, and it’s a question you must answer yourself, but the tried-and-true method to figuring it out is to go and find new parts of yourself in these places. You just might find that, by the end, not only can you belong anywhere you choose, but those places also belong to you.

Detention for “smiling.” Teacher took it as disrespect and told me to stop, but given the ridiculousness of the request and my classmates’ giggling as I repeatedly tried and failed to put on a serious expression, I was kinda doomed.

Also not saying I deserved it, but I had broken plenty of rules and not gotten in trouble so it felt fair enough.
