@sun oh, shit.
But aren't those are obviously communist? To each according to how much food he puts on his plate? Most famously offered at Chinese restaurants? -

@sun
shoot gun:
>bullet damages whoever the gun was pointed at
>bullet does not consider equity in whether to harm the target
>bullet OBEYS ORDERS
>bullet follows so-called "natural laws"
>there is no shooter so evil that bullet won't shoot out of his gun
>even if everyone votes against it, bullet still harms what it hits
>Hitler and Mussolini and Trump all used guns
>bullet suspiciously failed against Trump (in cahoots???)
>Hitler collaborated with bullet to evade the Nuremberg trials -

@lina titanium stuff definitely gets up there. You can get a $100 non-insulated titanium water bottle, which is 2-3x the price of fancy insulated bottles that women collect now, and which lets out an awful screech when you unscrew the lid because titanium doesn't rub well against titanium. -

@lina $25 titanium
$20 porcelain with steel infuser
$14 glass
it's more expensive but it's not a luxury good. -

Ultralight hikers have given us the perfect tea cup: titanium with a giant removable open-at-the-top filter that you put the tea in. No bags. No tiny ball that's a pain to open. Titanium doesn't leech and is easy to clean and a folding handle doesn't transmit the heat.
How to make coffee? Whole beans, French press, and a hand grinder. You can get these made from (almost) 100% stainless steel and completely manually powered, and it's still so easy that the marginal convenience of a machine isn't worth the space or mess or microplastics.
I think people have a bad impression of this stuff because the benefits are super oversold. I don't think my own ground coffee tastes 500% better than k-cup coffee. I don't think that counting grams in a tea cup is important for anything except for confirming the material. But the modern crap is also way oversold, it's like Gillette 7-blade razors that are barely better than a safety razor but so much more expensive and less convenient and more wasteful.
Maybe I'm getting old but I'm tired of buying stuff and then throwing it away. I want to keep stuff. -

@lain for enhanced immersion my pre-game memories have been restricted, but I hope it's at least something like Vampire Survivors where my suffering from this round can be cashed in for upgrades. -

@lain self-defense questions:
1. what would I do differently if this were confirmed to be true?
2. what would I do differently if this were confirmed to be false?
Rather than accept some big think and spend a lot of time digesting it and being amazed by all the potential implications, jump to the end and ask if the big think is actionable in any way.
If it isn't, that doesn't mean you have to drop it, but you could totally do that. You could pass on it and just check in on the potheads a few years later to see if there have been any exciting updates.
Also the universe is clearly a game. -

@thatbrickster @kaia animal fat? My SafeCatch canned tuna here, canned with water (gross), has 0g of fat, 0g of carbs, 24g of protein. To get fat I have to buy fish that's canned with olive oil.
SafeCatch is also an option for heavy metal concerns, since they test each fish.
My own suspicion/schizo theory/unsubstantiated cope, is that all food has these problems, that all food sources should have fish's guidelines of "don't eat more than #/week so that poisons don't build up", and we only don't get those guidelines because the hazards of fish are safer for researchers to study, because literally anyone can fish with minimal capital investments, so the big moneyed interests are elsewhere. -

@augustus me, I'm content in knowing that the rest of the government is run so well that it hardly matters who the President is. We have a robust and loyal class of bureaucrats who will steadfastly serve any winning candidate and get his program done, while pushing back only as needed by law or good sense.
And, we have a federal form of government, where the more local the government, the more it matters to our day-to-day lives and the more direct control we have over it. Why should an American care whether the oval office has a (D) or an (R) by it, any more than he should care if the Whitehouse Christmas tree has an odd or an even number of decorations on it?
America isn't a dictatorship, after all! The elections are big and dramatic like this, first as a form of harmless entertainment, and second as a way for those unfortunates, who get a little steamed up and into politics, a way to safely vent that steam at the ballot box.
For any doubters, I recommend the excellent South Park time travel episode, in which Cartman attends the constitutional convention and overhears our Founding Fathers lay out a comedically cynical plan: with two parties, one can engage in country-serving realpolitik while the other engages in moral grandstanding. We'll always have the moral highground, and we'll also always kill and destroy any enemies! God bless America! -

@hj @kaia try a push-scooter? They're a lot of fun. Downsides:
>you look ridiculous
>light and easy to fold and carry with you, but business NPCs are programmed to reject e-scooters at the door
>much harder to free a hand on one
>you might sweat too much for where you're going -

Yes, "nazi" isn't one of my preferred nouns. Please respect them: guy/dude/HLN/scum/rightoid -

@hj @talviunelias too bad that книга is too subtle, because it's very funny. -

@realcaseyrollins @icedquinn charitably, the laws aren't intended to be solid and are just footholds to see how it plays out in courts and what a solid law might look like in the future. And probably the goal is a chilling effect that keeps kids doing kid stuff, rather than an unbeatable seal separating children from adults.
uncharitably, it's a candidate wedge issue to replace defunct wedge issues like abortion, so that the parties can go at each other's throats in a safe way so that they can focus on their side gigs as influence peddlers and organ traders. -

@realcaseyrollins @icedquinn I don't know how any of these are concretely implemented beyond localities targeting and then getting blocked by specific sites, but what I'd expect is
1. government mandate: sites must verify IDs
2. private solution: we'll verify IDs for you with an easy and safe and secure API
3. monopoly: OK now you have to use this private solution, or these licensed private solutions
CloudFlare, OpenID, and Google Captcha are entry points for #2.
