  • I haven't read anything about what hamas thought would happen after the October 7th attack. Did they think Israel would do nothing because hamas had hostages?

    Or were they trying to prompt a huge response? Certainly the abhorrent despicable acts perpetrated against women that were detailed in the article are something no one would ignore. Similar to Bucha in Ukraine, the horror won't make people surrender, just the opposite.

  • I have several ways I cope:

    Satisfaction that the rich are going to get fucked by climate catastrophe and ecosystem collapse just as much as everyone else. The climate change deniers will starve just like the rest of us.

    It's been billions of years before I existed, and potentially trillions of years afterwards. I'm incredibly lucky to be aware and thinking, so why should I complain about stuff happening after my spark of awareness has faded?

    Earth will continue without humans just fine, eventually getting swallowed by the Sun. Nothing humanity has done will survive.

    Celebrate being alive to experience the universe.

  • When I owned an Infiniti G37x, the owners manual said to use the higher octane fuel, so I did just that.

  • This article felt weirdly exploitative to me. Like, leave the young woman alone to heal in peace.

  • I'm sure that big bonuses will go to the executives responsible for the cost cutting that caused this.

    Also, I know it's difficult to care about a job when you're treated like a disposable napkin by the executives, but please try to care about your fellow humans. The disabled person has no choice but to ask for help, don't let indifference to your job dehumanize people.

  • Let people enjoy things.

  • Now I'm wondering about an Odo Garibaldi buddy cop movie.

    And Kira + Ivanova being pissed off at things together :)

    Spock tries to mind meld with a Vorlon and his head explodes.

    Delenn is fascinated by wormhole prophets.

  • Well I would guess most people are only acquainted with the surface details of the issue. Certainly it's easy to think "guns kill*, let's have less of that please." But of course the actual legal details are far more nuanced: The 2nd amendment, definitions of what exactly is a firearm, uppers/lowers/etc. *(I know guns don't kill, people use them to kill)

    I do wonder if some opposition to the term assault rifle stems from the "not one concession" interpretation of the 2nd amendment? The reaction to its use shuts down a thread or conversation.

    Personally I am anti gun, but unless a new amendment is passed, I don't see anything changing.

  • Bright daylight bulbs, or good colour changing bulbs to simulate sunshine.

    When it is bright outside, go outside and get some sun! Even if it's cold, you're still going to get some benefit.

    Get an indoor air quality monitor. Open your windows and let in as much fresh air as the outside temperature allows. Cold weather = people don't open windows = carbon dioxide and other shit builds up inside.

    Circulate air with fans or central air set to fan only.

  • OMG what breed is he?

  • That'd be far higher quality than twitch is capable of.

  • What a fantastic answer! Thank you for taking the time to write that out, I appreciate you. Do you have a favourite charity I could donate to as a way of saying thank you?
