This will be included in Alecto The Ninth, mark my words.

PTSD? Yeah, I have it.

I’ve not played the game. It seems like they covered this pretty accurately though if I picked up on the implication from your reference.

Me when I PTSD

I love these sorts of articles. There’s something so cosy about getting this sort of slice of life almost glimpse into the cultural history of an everyday item.

I feel seen. I use my larger jars to keep my pantry mouse and moth free, and I store dry pulses and grains in them. Smaller jars I use for air tight storage for spices, and also for mixing and storing paint when I art.

Despite agreeing with the sentiment, I just can’t bring myself to upvote those last three words.

Does the government actually own all this information about us though, or is it all outsourced with various private companies?

A lot of folk who go to the trouble of changing their first name, be they trans, cis or otherwise, likely have negativity attached to their original name from which they would like to move on.

Anyone who knew me by my old name and hasn’t been updated of my new name, doesn’t know my new name for a good reason. So on the very rare occasion I get deadnamed these days, it absolutely scares the hell out of me.

I’m nb and my name change wasn’t specifically for gendered reasons, but for those whose was, being purposefully deadnamed adds a whole new level of hate crime to the situation and puts them at risk of violence from anyone unhinged enough who overhears.

Can you explain how?

Put heat pumps in all of them, problem solved

A lot of the older housing in London has next to no insulation and many places also still have wooden framed single pane sash windows. Without insulation, heat pumps aren’t going to do much but rack up the leccy bill.

I should rewatch Adventure Time again.

Gives you waist definition too.

Undoing the top button when sitting for any length of time makes high waisted jeans more comfortable, and you can hide it under your top or something if you’re sitting in public so nobody will even know.

How do I download a gif to my phone? I need this.

The capitalist overlords love your compliance and willingness to spread optimistic propaganda to the proletariat. Keep it up buddy, a good worker is a hopeful worker!

But sure whatever, go recycle something and buy an electric car if it makes you feel better. You don’t have much time left anyway, so you might as well be a happy moron.

And those little efforts by folks like us, might still make the difference between 1 billion dead or 1.1 billion dead.

Lmao, bro what sort of bullshit hopium are you puffing on to think the death toll will be 1.1 billion at worst?!

Fresh water resources are depleting rapidly and arable land is being lost at breakneck speed. If the blue ocean event doesn’t get us all first, the drought and famine will. Humanity will not make it out of the century.

Yup. And we completely deserve this.

That does not negate the fucked up-edness of our current situation. You can be a fuck up and be responsible for your own life.

The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world.

Each new life adds more carbon and pollution to this world and will die suffering ftom resource scarcity.

How selfish can you be to bring yet more people into this hell world, just because you want to have a baby?

It was pretty big news on the day it hit the papers in the UK, I think it was front page of the Guardian.

Everyone was shocked and horrified on that day about it, comments and posts everywhere, and then it faded away over the following days and weeks as more shocking and horrifying news about other stuff was published, till everyone forgot how shocking and horrifying this was.
