Modern fruit isn’t especially healthy:
At the Melbourne Zoo, the monkeys are no longer allowed to eat bananas. And the pandas are getting pellets instead of plums. In fact, fruit has been phased out completely. That’s because the fruit that humans have selectively bred over the years has become so full of sugar the zoo’s fruitarian animals were becoming obese and losing teeth. -source
My dad wouldn’t let me get one with 2 speakers. Only one speaker. I still don’t understand that reasoning.
Like this:
This comment section gives me hope for this platform.
If I found out someone bugged my bathroom, I think I’d apologize for what they heard.
It seems like every other captcha I get has a picture of a moped and asks to click for a motorcycle. When I don’t click on the moped it says I’m wrong. Pisses me off.
Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.
I remember going from “I totally get this guy” for the first half to “oh…crap, this guy is actually a nutcase shithead” by the end.
I’ve decided to just ignore battery hype and tune back in when it’s time to swap out my house battery in 5-10 years. Hopefully some of the vaporware will have actually materialized in the market by that time.
I’m happy for a new streetcar line that is almost done in my area. My happiness is pretty pathetic and sad.
This is what most of the schools around my area installed a couple years ago:
I think the most important context is minimum wage.
In 1982 a full-time job making $3.35 an hour is pulling in approx $6,700 a year. Or 14% of the price of a house.
In 2022, that same worker, working the same number of hours at minimum wage $7.25 an hour is bringing in $14,500 a year. Or 3.5% the price of a house.
The same for groceries. THAT is the fucked up part. It’s what happens when people seem OK with 50 trillion dollars going from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past several decades.
I guess when/if I buy another car, I’ll look into gov’t fleet auctions.
Remember when gov’t banned Furbies (sp?) in some places? Seems like they would make the same decision for a lot of people in important positions regarding their car purchasing.
That sea eagle is watching the fish under the ice just waiting for the Spring thaw.
That was hilarious.
I’m OK with grants for certain things/times/whatever. But it seems like if the owner is worth billions and comes to the gov’t for a handout, the gov’t should just tax them correctly and say,“No you.”
Just Doctorow’s enshitification in action.
What? Hitler is still running things there? Who knew?
LOL, you pushed some people’s buttons. Hilarious. I feel the same way.
I’m in that country and can’t disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,“We’re going to get exactly what we deserve.”
