I’m gonna make it my year. Fate’s consent is not necessary.

Haven’t heard of him. For me it’s Cult College, Ancient Americas, and a scattering of 3D printing youtubers who aren’t on Nebula.

That guy is like half the reason I still use YouTube.

The other first-column chloride salts are mostly edible at some level. Potassium chloride is used in some low-sodium foods, I think. I saw a couple Aussies on YouTube once going down the column and putting them all on fries. Not sure if I’d be able to find it again though, it was pretty old

It’s bait for the ole “I’m 18 and my girlfriend is 11” thing

One of the big pillars to resistance, especially under tight strictures, is to watch for your opportunity and make your move when you get the chance. I’m definitely seeing some sane and righteous people who made it through the loyalty purges, who have decided that this is the best chance to take aim at the king, where they won’t miss and won’t have to deal with him getting back up, so to speak.

I started this year, and I think you can refer to years as far back as '22 without it feeling awkward.

That, to demonstrate to the Democratic party that I don’t want to support them if they actively fight against my policy goals, and to help develop a viable third party.

Divisive propaganda got me to vote for Jill Stein in 2016. I would still assert that Clinton was an awful candidate, but I should have voted for her.

According to this thing, I’m a solar panel

Put peanut butter on your balls

I’m successfully jacking up someone’s sagging floor as one of my first solo jobs. I don’t want to make being my own boss a lifestyle, but it’s cool to have the confidence that I can ditch my future bosses at any time and just fly solo for a bit til I get a new one.

I lack the subtlety to tell you if my cast iron pan cooks better or makes anything taste better, but I can assure you it regularly survives abuse that would ruin a Teflon pan in days.

Oh, giving ourselves endless lifespans is a fine endeavor. We’ve got plenty of ways to adapt to changing environments without changing our bodies, and we’re pretty close to being able to do that without dying and evolving anyway. Shit might get weird, but it always does with us.

I just want to drop in and call out “death is a design flaw” specifically. It is not. Without death, there can be no evolution, and any change to the environment is extinction.

The mountains seem eternal, but there were forests before many of them, and though the trees will be different in the distant eons when the mountains are worn to nothing, the forests will live on.

There’s plenty of good food in Boston.

Maybe they just realize having kids is hard.

Russia’s hybrid war with the West comes to mind. The invasion of Ukraine has turned out that way too, although it was intended to be a quick resource grab.

Nope, it’s because we shot that gorilla.

Peasants had lots of holidays and probably ate higher-quality food than us most of the time.
