@Strandjunker Did you know healthcare is mandatory in the Netherlands?Okay we pay maybe a lot but still Oh and AR-15 are MOST certain VERY illegal here

@futurebird Your point is CRITICAL. As an infosec pro I have worked with scam victims and similar and the shame is such a huge factor in negative outcomes. It’s why there’s a very conscious, if partially successful, effort to relabel “pig butchering” as “romance baiting” (the original term comes from China). Also, Dad has dementia and has gotten scammed a few times (ie fake tech support). He knows I won’t judge him if he comes to me.

@FRWiki The Sheaf of Wheat inn in the bottom-right corner is the third piece of art I did for the book as I learned to draw, and the first I really threw myself into. It's not great, but I'm proud of.Abby's food art is great, though.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net the language of geography is messy and is driven by history more than modern politics. Some of it is colonial, but all languages do this to some degree. Because you know, sometimes the locals name things that are pretty hard for foreigners to say or the interpreter at the time was dogshit so we just have to get over it.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net their opinion is very silly.

@peachymist@labyrinth.zone I’m just often struck by how little human consideration goes into tech design of all sorts. So little seems designed to help me, rather it fits some marketing aesthetic or manufacturing need. Maybe that’s the problem, who knows.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net Over soon. Then riot.

@chrisnelsonsdog Your food always looks amazing.

@tewha close enough

@emarktaylor.bsky.social Big 10 Football baby!

@emarktaylor.bsky.social That game is such a snoozefest. I switched to Alabama-Georgia.

@DeliaChristina I like your deck.

@CactuarJoe ruuuuuude

@tangleofwires Kim Gordon is in her 70s!

@don_atoms @pluralistic I mean, like the dot com bubble and the housing finance bubble before it, it will pop. The question, like Doctorow has mentioned before is whether there will be anything useful to scavenge (like the dot com bubble) or just a recession following (like the housing finance bubble)

@ajroach42 Especially the "our progressive hero" veneer he's getting from having hired a very competent social media team.(When the reality of Newsom is pretty far from progressive)

@dArtagnanI mean, I'd think so? Simple whole-number arithmetic seems like something any halfway-organized, halfway-persistent grouping of sapient beings would stumble upon on their own.

Farmers provide their animals, bees included, with what feed they can buy. The fact that animal-feed is chemically-deficient isn’t the fault of the farmers, it is the fault of shoddy standards in animal-feed being more profitable than quality/integrity’s standards, & nobody legislated proper-nutrition-requirements for things like animal-food, baby-food, etc. For-profit operations ONLY increase their costs when that increases profits, XOR when they’re coerced into producing correct product/service. Basic narcissism-centered economics, that. _ /\ _
