I do a plant based protein powder with oat milk thats pretty good

this is some good info! I’m planning on setting out on a long adventure soon myself so I appreciate the tips.

looking forward to the next post!

soup, soup for my family

yeah I had been using Niagara on my pixel 6 but it’s a little too effective for me, my main desire with getting this phone was for it to be less of a distraction so I went with before launcher and set it to text only, no icons.

so far it’s been very good at doing what I need it to and then getting out of the way but I haven’t had it for a full week yet so I’m not fully decided on it.

very late response but you sold me on it.

yeah I’ve been chewing on it for a minute and I can’t really think of anything other than like you said spamming it under every post makes it obvious that it’s a troll and I agree that definitely deserves a ban

I think it needs to be defined with more specificity than “blatant doomerism”, both to make it more clear when to enforce rather than “I know it when I see it” and also to prevent unfair bans to people talking about something that’s a bummer in good faith.

I don’t think an environment of toxic positivity is healthy and I fear such a broad definition could foster one, i.e. “oh I can’t say that or I might get banned”

on the whole though I like the idea of an additional rule added of the sort. it doesn’t seem like the person(s) in the first examples given was saying anything in good faith.

I also think the punishment should give a lot of grace, like first a warning and comment removal before any ban.

edit: a word

oh well I hear anyfuckingwhereelsethantheusa is really nice this time of year :3

edit: :3

same :3

I never took it as hate, just an acknowledgement of the simplicity of thinking about your digital watch and going “you know what? this thing is pretty neat!”

that being said it’s been a while since I read the books so maybe I’m misremembering some serious digital watch hate from later on.

personally I think my Casio is pretty neat and I also am unhappy for pretty much of the time, largely due to the movements of small green pieces of paper :)

A+ ⭐ 🏆

that last line especially is beautiful, sounds like it was written by Adams himself.

have you read the short story The Libertarian Police Department? I’ve always thought the author channeled Adams’ ghost for that one :)

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

the thing about that though is that fetuses don’t produce gametes until much later in gestation so it’s really just incoherent nonsense.

you’re severely confused. you are so far outside the Overton window of this 'verse that you don’t even share familiar vernacular. liberals/Democrats are dirty words to most people here because they’re too conservative. most of us are leftists socialists anarchists and communists (fuck tankies)

edit: woah holy necro I thought this was /all

I’m not sure I agree. it sounds like Bishop Budde really hurt his fee fees

oh wow I don’t like that!!

what’s going on here?

apparently the stage production of Ben-Hur had it in 1899 and “Historians have instead determined that the gesture originated from Jacques-Louis David’s 1784 painting Oath of the Horatii, which displayed a raised arm salutatory gesture in an ancient Roman setting.” - Wikipedia

but your point stands Romans didn’t do that shit.
