Please. It's not about "willpower." Poverty plays a part. Genetics plays a part. Our unhealthy lifestyles under capitalism plays a part. But go ahead and blame people for things that might just be beyond their control. That always makes a difference. /s

Only when forced to by the phone breaking, switching providers, or, as in the case of my last phone, when they shut down a network (2G).

I got a Pantum laser printer and it's free of all the rent-a-printer crap that the big ones are pulling now. It was easy to set up with my Linux system too.

They already do all this with social safety net programs like Social Security and HUD/Section 8. Go to jail, lose your benefits. Every year is a ton of hoop jumping and massive stress while I recertify for my housing voucher and the measly $2 in food stamps they give my family per month. And that's without me even going to protests anymore.

I don't do surveys of any kind. They aggregate so much data on me as it is, I don't want to give them my opinions also.

Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.

Until and unless they break up these predatory property management companies, anything they do push through won't be anywhere near enough.

I went to a Mastodon server where other anarchists are.

I left reddit when the mod kerfuffle started but I had a bad experience with r/Anarchism long before that and hadn't been a member for quite a while.

Just a nitpick, that bird is not a parakeet. It's a female eclectus parrot.

There are a number of parakeet species so referring to a bird as a parakeet isn't specific. The most common parrot kept as pets are budgerigars, or budgies. Which is the one I think you were referring to.

Parrots being a special interest of mine I had to drop this on impulse.

All parakeets are parrots but not all parrots are parakeets.

Eclectus are gorgeous. The males are emerald green with orange beaks. They have the most sexual dimorphism of any of the parrot family.

They should live within their means like they're making the rest of us do. If I can support a family of 3 on less than 25K a year, then they make more than enough.

Yeah, like 20 years ago. He's gotten so horrible over the decades.

I did once because the driver completely ignored my delivery instructions and I called to cancel the tip. They refunded it immediately.

Our building has a problem with theft, which I noted in my instructions, and they left the order in the lobby despite my clear warning to the contrary.

Too bad medical science can't invent a killer virus that takes out right wing fundamentalists with pinpoint accuracy.

The day they stop trying to shove their own personal religious choices down everyone else's throat and criminalizing what should be a woman's own bodily autonomy is the day I stop feeling this way.

I seem to have misplaced my violin as it's so tiny.

But to quote their ridiculous ancient book of nonsense, you reap what you sow.

My family was secular so I didn't have religion shoved down my throat as a kid. I got curious about church when I was around 8. I went for a year or so then had an epiphany about how nonsensical it was that a loving god would consign people to hell and stopped going.

I toyed around some with occultism in my teens but have been an atheist ever since. Nothing about religion makes sense and I live in the material, rational world.

I feel the same way about grocery store club cards. "Let us vacuum up your buying habits to sell to information brokers while simultaneously ripping off everybody that doesn't use a card."

Give "The Christ Conspiracy" by Acharya S a read. It goes in-depth into how the whole Jesus thing was a myth based on other myths.

I've bought three versions of NMS over the years due to platform changes and at one point a snapped disc.

Hello Games also has other titles and they're a small dev team. They're an example of what game companies could do if they wanted to, rather than strangling the player base with microtransactions.

The capitalist oligarchy will never allow UBI. They want people desperate and starving so they'll take any crumbs tossed their way.
