The only time I maybe got covid, I had no symptoms and never tested positive. Otherwise I'm covid free.

But being middle ages after a longggg work week does it too.

Ya, I just found out that my favourite hummus brand is partly Israeli owned

sicko-wistful

No, for some reason. But I know people who do.

Honestly it isn't. But I have mates that swear they need to change blades every few days. Who am I to tell them that they're lived experience is wrong?

Ya I literally had the same reaction when somebody told me.

It feels like veganism comes in stages. Like one day I learn that zoos are bad. Then leather. Then honey. Oh and then a friend tells me that my soap isn't vegan 😤

The lubricants often come from leftovers from pig and cattle carcasses. Major brands will use that because it's nearly free. I think it's related to gelatin but I'm too lazy to look it up.

OK. I'll try that. Thank you.

I'm weird and will use razors when dull. They still work. But no shame if you don't like dull razors.

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 14 points 21 hours ago

I have actually. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or I got a bad brand, but I couldn't get a close shave.

I soaked them for at least 16 hours, and they were still a bit hard. Maybe because I bought "raw" chickpeas.

Now I'm giving them a slow boil, and they look much better.

I swapped to Harry's a few years back as they're one of the few vegan brands. But this shit is frustrating. Those little rubber side pieces are load bearing and made thin enough that they're gonna break after a while.

I literally can't remember the leftist word for a product that's designed to break after some time.

No shame directed at the bearded comrades, but damn shaving helps get a tight seal with N95s.

Taking away the excessive material comfort of a handful of posh people is literally the same as keeping most of the population desperately poor and building a police state to keep it that way.

Anarchists are cool, I can't say that enough. But just as we commies have patsocs infiltrating our ranks, so also are there are fair amount of self described anarchists who are basically radlibs, read none of the theory, and do none of the praxis. Anarchists that are OK with Amerikan foreign policy aren't anarchists, they don't hang out with other active anarchist groups, and they wouldn't get too far in the community.

I'm sorry, but your friend is hopelessly liberal. If they have some material comfort generated by the Amerikan empire, it'll be hard to change their mind until they personally are faced with difficulty caused by being part of a marginalised social class.

I was at this school event where my laptop was plugged in near a lot of foot traffic. Admittedly I was too lazy to get a new battery and it's partly my fault. So my plug got kicked a bunch of times. My laptop restarted and updated, then restarted a bunch more fucking times because people kept kicking the cable. Now Windows is broken, and even using a repair USB won't fix it.

Like seriously, why does Windows, and sometimes Android, decide now's the time to do an update after a hard restart?!?!?

Feck.

Sorry this is more a rant than anything else.

I spent my teens to thirties feeling so damn lonely, depressed, and horny. Now that I'm in forties, I just feel exhausted all the time. Ya it's work related. Usually I get to school around 6am, and I might finish around 6pm. My job is meaningful, but I feels like I'm sprinting everywhere. When there's no one around, I often loudly groan in frustration, it's really awkward when kids or other teachers see it.

I'd like to read more, see friends more, and do more activism, but often I need to just calm myself down so I can actually get some meaningful rest. Usually I need to consume pointless media in order to feel rested and often need to watch something to sleep. I'm tempted to start smoking weed in order to get myself to that point of relaxation sooner. I probably should exercise more: I stopped when everyone stopped masking in the gym. I have the ability to exercise at home, I just need to motivation.

Every time I get a holiday, the same thing happens: it takes a few days to recover from work, but after 4 or so days I start to feel normal. I can start to do the things I wish I was doing more. I enjoy books again and have more meaningful time with my partner.

I did a good faith search for the 90 000 number for Cuba, and I can only see US government sources and Cuba dissident groups. Cuba's own reports put this at half the number, which puts them well below Amerika.

From here.

Oh shit, I better open a window as the rain has stopped. Also I better grab that book from the bedroom.

NO I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE TRIP

Oh my partner is standing up. Please baby can you grab that thing that's 4 metres away as getting up from the sofa must be avoided at all costs.
