Well, they both might benefit from eachother's expertise in fighting wildfires...

I use the Soundcore v30i. They dont go in the ear itself - they loop around the back of the ear and are very light. I wear them for 7 hours a day most days and often forget they are on.

I dont know much about sound quality ratings, but I rather like them! (They are also pretty cheap and the battery life is quite good)

Yeah, like, what nation wouldn't see this as an act of war if deployed on a targeted and continous scale?

Don't forget about the Tarascan Empire!

You absolutely should! The Ghost in the Shell franchise(?) is best understood as a bunch of "similar universes." SAC is one of several (and arguably the best imo).

Still excited for this adaptation though - more GitS is always good!

"Be the change you want to see in the world" is the only real solution to that problem. News aggregation is an easy thong because its relatively universal - niche hobbies are not by definition, so its kind of up to people to make them happen.

Having hobbies is all well and good, I have them as well, but to not think politics has an impact on quite literally everything in your life requiring therapy is...a take.

Stating that politics have an impact on everything is just a statement of fact.

In just the examples you gave, some sort of political situation has impacted them - the price of Legos, modern interpretations of ancient history (through the lens of modern political discourse and what lead to the fall of Rome as an easy example), media regulation/censorship, the list goes on. It is possible to recognize that these things are impacted and not "think about them all the time."

Ultimately, places like Lemmy are largely news aggregators, so you are going to get a lot of stuff related to the news (i.e. politics). It's a bit tough to discuss the "latest in dog walking" for any period if time to largely anonymous people online when compared to "US geopolitics" or "global conflicts," because those things are ever evolving.

Yeah...

Alternatively, people seem to think that politics are some nebulous separate thing to their life, sort of like a hobby, when the reality is everything is political. Like, you cannot escape politics as a general rule (and arguably, nor should you try to), because it infects every aspect of a person's life.

Yeah...pretty much

It's no surprise voter apathy is so high in this country

Hillary in '16

My entire voting life has been votes against over votes for when I think about it :(

I'm comparing crime statistics to their historical numbers - the 70s was simply the first that came to mind. Pick any historical time, and the crime was higher.

I never said I agree with the workers being exploited is worth it - I am saying that the system the people calling for mass deportations within is dependent on the ruthless exploitation of millions of people, whether they like it or not. If they struggle to deal with expensive eggs, they will be in for a very rude awakening when the cheap labor that makes things so cheap goes away.
