Just a little reminder that here in Europe, we play the same exact video games as youth from the United States

We do not have (daily) school shootings however

Instead of blaming video games, start looking at the super easy to get weapons on each corner of street problem

Games are not the problem, weapons are 🇺🇸

99.9% of jobs do not require urgency of any kind, really they don't. We've all had a boss who acts like someone will die if we don't hit some made up deadline by people who don't even do the job. No one needs their meal 1 minute faster or the paperwork before tomorrow morning. Your time off actually doesn't need to wait. Sometimes I think about how legitimately bad most businesses are at time management and hiring, and I wonder how they manage to exist at all.

The internet is a confusing place. I was looking for news stories about Mr Blobby, then I somehow fell down an INSANE rabbit-hole so that when my wife came in and asked what I'm doing because I'm supposed to be getting ready, I said to her the following..................

I'm trying to verify that the man who holds the record for inserting most creme eggs into his anus was eaten by a crocodile.

I hate the internet.

(It's 9!)

Edit - I don't know if they were wrapped or unwrapped and I don't know if he was eaten by a crocodile as the Daily Sport asserts in their article.

What if you were allowed to put any picture/text on any book cover. What is your book choice and what picture/text would you choose?

No antipsychotic at the hospital either, they’ve ordered me some but it will take 6 days to get here. Thankfully I have 8 days supply left. Now for a cheese scone in the M&S cafe

Oi, Fediverse!

I’m mostly listening to the following bands right now, I suppose kind of drone / doom / stoner / dark ambient #metal. It’s kind of comforting, like being under a very heavy weighted blanket with a sleeping mammoth on top of it:

#Sunn O))), #Earth, #Sleep, #Om

Based on them, is there any music you’d recommend I check out? Thanks!

This happened exactly five years ago. Never found out what it was, but it's a handy little kitchen knife:

I looked up at the skylight in my study which is at the end of the garden just now and saw this... Knife-throwing competition ? Dropped by a magpie? Threat? A sign?

Because of my instance being down this morning I decided to get up rather than wallowing in bed with my phone. I will never forgive.

I would like to speak to your manager

so I can tell them about the great job you're doing because it is very difficult to be working in the service industry and you deserve to be appreciated and recognized for your hard work.

I learned to make bread to prepare for the nuclear apocalypse.

But, after the bombs fell, my sourdough starter mutated and is now the apex predator in what used to be Western Europe.

(Sorry.)

There are few more overt and unapologetic manifestations of capitalism than the shiny chemical warfare tunnel of perfume and booze duty-free concessions you have to walk through on the way to the departure lounge.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

#RogerCorman was a cinematic pioneer in another way with his 1994 #FantasticFour movie: making a whole superhero film and then not releasing it. A huge influence on the producers of Batgirl.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.
