Travel luxuries? Cars are the luxury. Living a hour from where you work is a “luxury”.

Saying someone needs a car to make up for their poor lifestyle choices doesn’t mean they need a car, it means they need better choices.

Here’s my advice: Don’t buy a car. Ride a bike or take public transit. Walk whenever possible.

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then give up; don’t make yourself look like a fool.”

Can’t remember where I first saw that quote, but it stuck with me.

In the US, too, but the usage is always “you are acting like a woman and being a woman is bad so you are bad”

that’s what ‘slur’ means

“common” and “insult” I believe, but if you think a word that refers to a female dog and a word that refers to a female sex organ are gender-neutral, well…

Those are both misogynistic slurs.

Oh, well that’s all right then

are executions murder, though?

what fucking profanity filter? damned if I’ve ever seen it

At least since the 90’s.

We don’t fick with upholstered furniture for exactly that reason. Tables, dressers, cabinets.

My wife does the furniture flipping thing. I don’t think we make any money on it — but we have much nicer furniture than we could afford otherwise and between reselling the items we get rid of the low prices we pay for the incoming, we’re certainly not spending money on it, either, and that’s counting the cost of renting trucks to move it around.

Slrpnk espouses solarpunk, obviously, which is a heavily anarchist and progressive ideology with a focus on ecological conservation.

Midwest is nominally left-leaning but under a thick creamy layer of Midwestern mind-yer-own-beeswax.

No. My mother has unretired twice and my grandmother has come out of retirement four times. They don’t have the knack for it and I doubt I will either.

Older millennial American man, yes, you got me

The problem is thinking of time as a unidimensional directed flow that we are pushed along by, rather than a multidimensional manifold that we traverse.

Think of even a flat graph. If two agents start at (0,0) and both travel to when x=4, the agent that went from (0, 0) to (4, 0) had a trip of length 4. The agent that went from (0, 0) to (4, 3) had a trip of length 5.

mint chip, for me

Respectfully, that’s too early. More than six weeks of Christmas season is just too much.

Things only get better if we make then better.
