It’s worse than that. Iirc everytime republicans gain 2 out of 3 of Congress / Senate / president, they rip up enough regulations to cause a global recession.

Thanks, America for taking a shit on the world. Again.

Crazy that I’ve been downvoted for offering factual help, while the comment which is provably incorrect is up voted

Is there a ‘remind me’ feature on lemmy? Cause you might be waiting a while, I’ve got a few disposables to get through first!

Yeah. People can avoid all this nonsense by installing one simple app… Duck duck go browser.

You don’t have to use the browser. It just sits in the background quietly blocking tracking requests from other apps.

It’s absolutely horrifying on first use to see how egregious tracking is.

Brilliant, thanks very much for the advice. I’ve still got a few disposables left but definitely switching over. No more USA razors.

Thanks for these links. As someone who’s stuck to the usual suspects bought from supermarket… Anything I need to be aware of switching to this? Like, will I need to shave more carefully, use different technique? Or just shave as normal?

I’m using Sync to write this comment :)

Same. I don’t agree with Starmer on everything (eg his cannabis policy), but it’s nice to have a grownup in charge again. Instead of a performing monkey desperate for a new sound bite so we forget last week’s disaster.

Exactly. And usually if I am replying to another comment later, I can see that balance has been restored by others doing the same :)

• If I see a freezer / fridge door open in a supermarket, I close it. Not for the supermarket, but for the planet

• as someone who stacked shelves as a teen, if I take an item and it leaves a gap, I pull the next one forward so the employee doesn’t have to keep fussing over the manager’s demand for it to be lined up

• my dad lives in a bungalow, on a small cul de sac of other bungalows. Sheltered housing for old folks. Litter often gets blown in and collects, I’ll pick it up every couple of weeks. Also cleared their paths / sprinkled salt when It snowed

• when old people are in the way, I don’t crowd up behind them. I’ll take a few steps back and wait so they don’t feel pressured

• if there’s an item in the road that could damage someone’s car, I’ll wait until it’s safe then remove the item

• if I see someone was down voted just for sharing their opinion (assumedly because the down voter is too childish to withstand an opposing opinion), I make sure to up vote it in an attempt to restore balance. Even if I don’t agree with said opinion (obviously this doesn’t apply to hateful rhetoric etc)

Prob a ton of other little things I can’t remember. Thanks for making this post!

It’s very basic ‘think of the children’ rhetoric.

Our emotions are more easily manipulated in this way, because generally people are hard wired to protect babies and children.

So by associating trans people with paedophiles, right wingers are able to more easily hijack into what would otherwise be rational people. It also makes it more difficult to debate against because nobody wants to be labelled as someone who wants to hurt kids.

My immediate thought is that it’s not the action of smoking cannabis causing these cavities, instead…

It’s fairly commonly accepted that habitual cannabis use can lead to demotivation. I’m a very regular dry herb vaper and with exception of a few strains, I have to make a great effort to make sure I do daily tasks when I’m high.

I’d also suggest that ppl who are self medicating due to depression are less likely to brush their teeth twice a day. Finally, perhaps cannabis users are more likely to consume sugary snacks?

In a nutshell, these findings don’t surprise me! But I would be surprised if cannabis was causative and not just a correlated factor.

Clearly what we’re seeing here is the T1000. I highly recommend running away before it reforms.

I’ve been playing Control on and off since 2019… I finally completed it this week.

There was always something that halted my progress… Frustration with the map, boredom with progression, unfixable crashing. Decided to give it one more go on a new gpu and finally it clicked :)

Now I’m doing all the awesome post game content.

For years I was adamant that I didn’t like ambient, I think because I’d only been exposed to very boring drone stuff. Then I discovered Solar Fields / Carbon Based Lifeforms and it changed my musical world.

I’m quite horrible at self-promo so sadly it’s just gathering digital dust, but after 20+ years of writing dance music for myself and others, I decided to get heavily into writing ambient / chill. Made a load of trippy animation videos and setup a youtube… if you love Solar Fields, without meaning to sound bigheaded I think you’d enjoy them.

Ambient / Chill by Ain

I love anything by Solar Fields for tasks requiring concentrating, it’s especially good for reading scifi.

Whenever he releases a new album though I have to listen to it a few times, before I can have it on in the background… It’s very beautiful and intricate.

Yep has to have no lyrics or I get pulled into the song!

Hey look! Smoky’s over here takin’ A shit!

… Well, I ain’t gonna tell nobody else

Steam doesn’t kick me out of my single player games when my internet connection drops for a split second. I quite like that
