Especially with Project 2025 (day one after the election of the next GOP candidate). The executive branch will no longer be controllable by the other two branches. Also, Schedule F will allow all “policy-related” government workers to be rescheduled as fireable employees, allowing the Prez to install loyalists throughout the entire government. It’s definitely time to freak the fuck out.

Wasn’t Signal getting rid of the phone number requirement?

Redesign the spine for vertical use. Don’t put the eating and breathing tubes on either side of the same flap.

Honestly, AI trained on successful governance and social satisfaction would be a better president than what we have now. Then again, so would my cat.

humor is subjective

Fucking hilarious

The OG Wallace and Gromit three-movie VHS box set was my jam as a kid

Was gifted a lightly used Keurig machine. Partner started noticing little roaches everywhere in the kitchen. She was halfway through a cup of coffee when she opened the water reservoir and spotted a few floating in the water. I opened the machine and the machine was full of them.

Roaches can lay up to 32 eggs/week, and I think a roach mom had at least one good week in the Keurig.

Friend had said he didn’t want it because it was attracting roaches. He claims to not have known it was carrying them.

Sounds like ball lightning

Next time it happens try to predict what will happen in the next 30 seconds and say it out loud or write it down before it happens. If you can’t, it’s natural Deja Vu

Now now.

You glance at other markers too, but 66 fires a special, primed network.

I’ve had cats and dogs, and in my sample, cats have been better at navigating boundaries. Also, the beans. Also, the everything.

It’s my understanding that some of them even heal and can be torn again

Y’all showed up for this post! Lemmy is looking better all the time :)

TW: Existentialism/Death

Not a funny thing to say before going out, but when I was about to do the mask I thought about what it would be like to be totally unconscious after I die, and woke up laughing and cracking jokes. It wasn’t so bad during the procedure when my awareness was off 😜

I contacted my House rep. Thanks!

Why shouldn’t the idea of Solarpunk operate as a subset of Solarpunk, in the form of an interface between Solarpunk and the Fediverse?

From a biological perspective, your dreams are part of the process of moving short term memories from the hippocampus to the neocortex. This will involve perceiving symbolic representations of your experiences, feelings, memories, predictions, etc. As far as being “meaningful,” that’s relative to the implications you’re interested in. If you’re looking for meaning, look for the common psychological underpinnings of certain symbols (e.g. teeth falling out, not wearing pants, etc.) and see what that might expose about the things your brain is processing. Just remember that specific archetypes are often offered by people based on tradition and superstition; Make sure you’re looking at reliable sources, especially considering that your brain is going to process a lot more than people have worked out, and not every archetype is likely to carry information you find meaningful.

Yes, and so I must give it back.
