"Being exploited for profit as a child gave me an early understanding of how exploitative the world of casual labour is. I think other children should be exploited too because it teaches them how to escape exploitation, like I did. Huh? selection bias? What's that?"

Wow. Hey, I have an idea. Touching a hot stove teaches kids not to touch a hot stove, therefore we should make kids touch hot stoves. It's genius!

I would suggest a ouija board but I read the book mentioned above and know that he wasn't too fond of those.

I agree with you partially about zog, as it's an embellishment of the truth (that being that zionists excercise significant influence in US politics, but not a total occupation), but zio is just short for zionist. Using zio as a pejorative is no different from something like MAGAt. Sure, nazis use it as a pejorative against Jews, but it has a more narrow meaning. Nazis who use zio as a pejorative are engaging in the conflation of zionism and judaism, which you are aiding in when you accept the nazi premise that zio is a pejorative for jews, and which Israel benefits from as it enables them to weaponize antisemitism against critics of genocide.

If you believe this, why then do you have a problem with the phrase "death to Israel?" Zionism is a fascist ideology, and Israel is an ethno-supremacist project of Zionists.

I should note that I disagree with you. Calling for the death of all Republicans is just as wrong as calling for the death of all Israelis. I despise fascists, but I don't want them all dead, I want them to face justice. Though the ambiguity of the phrase "death to Israel" does not bother me, as I think the context is usually more than enough to resolve that ambiguity.

All modern-day famines are man-made. It's a crime against humanity.

Kentuckian here, we're known for horse racing, bourbon, coal mining, and cave tourism. And also being ruthlessly exploited by the aforementioned industries for as long as the state has existed (and possibly even before then).

I hate that word. I used a possessive apostrophe like this (its') for years before somebody finally told me that rule doesn't apply to its for some unknown reason.

A whippet is a dog breed lol. They look a bit like a cross between a greyhound and a borzoi (slender bodies, long faces).

Inhaling nitrous oxide gives a very short-lived euphoric high. Using the little canisters this way is colloquially referred to as whip-its. Prolonged use is known to cause severe and irreversible brain damage.

More slop op-eds blaming systemic issues on personal failures.

Please tell me you're not from the US and our education system hasn't failed you this horribly.

Well, yes, but that would require me to preemptively choose caution over expediency. On a related note, I always fight the giant spiders, and then get very upset at the predictable outcome.

I blue myself

Found this one in the woods behind my house. One of my favorite mushrooms to find even though there's not much to do with it, it's beautiful just to look at!

The blue "milk" contains latex, so don't handle if you're allergic. It's related to regular milk caps and looks identical aside from the brilliant color.

Something that you don't often see in field guides: it smells quite sweet in addition to the usual earthiness.

I will be returning it to the forest floor to drop its spores in hopes I keep finding them.

Pantheon season 1 has been added to Netflix today, but season 2 has not (and might never be). Both seasons are on Prime Video but it is region-locked, though I'm not sure which regions it is available in.

Pantheon is a fantastic sci-fi show with really smart themes that has been completely screwed over by streaming services. The writing is incredible and contains some very intelligent satire and critiques of big tech corporations, and even dips its toes into geopolitics (not even kidding, the Israel-Palestine conflict becomes a plot point in season 2, and this was written prior to Oct. 7).

If you want to watch the series in its entirety then piracy is a must for the vast majority. Needless to say, I highly recommend watching.

I'm looking for software for making small-scale maps / designs. Say for example I wanted to map out a small-ish plot of land with various markers indicating features of the site. Another requirement is that is must have the capability to depict elevation. Others have recommended map-making software for dungeons and dragons, but of the ones I can find they are either paid / subscription models or they strictly adhere to a grid system that makes it impossible to use for my purposes.

Does anyone have some good recommendations?

Edit: It doesn't have to be a single piece of software necessarily. If anyone has recommendations for a particular workflow (like for example if you know some good open source drawing software I could use to draw over the top of a topographic map) I'm interested in that as well.
