Traveling across the entirety of the US by car in the middle of winter sounds fucking miserable. That's what trains are for.

My local bike coop is full of very dependable, freshly tuned bikes that average around $150, built with love and care by expiriend mechanics. If you have issues with your bike, those same mechanics will guide you through the process of fixing it and give you access to every tool you could possibly need to do so, all for free or suggested donation.

You ever see a lewd that gets you realize you have a specific, reliable turn-on? This image did that to me, twice.

I don't think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.

Percentage population increases since 1961:

Humans: 161.85%
Farmed chickens: 1,071.43%
Farmed pigs: 375%
Farmed sheep and goats: 275%
Cows: 178.61%

God dammit jesus fucking christ I was looking for an optimistic take where I showed you guys that farmed animal populations haven't gone up as fast as the human population but I was WRONG, not only are there many more of us but on average each one of us is also having radically more animals tortured on our behalves. Shit. Everyone wants to be middle class and here we are in our western post middle class phase going "No please, it's not what you think it is, we beg you" looking like absolute hypocrites. How do you convince the world to go vegan without looking like you're merely asking them to forego the luxury that your own liberal society has been dumping on you your entire life?

It's important to maintaining my self-image as a cool and aloof guy that you know I'm not doing the nice thing out of the goodness of my heart.

Are we doing that whole confusing "I declare a general strike" thing again?

I do this, not because I'm courteous but because if I take one from the outdoor corrals I don't have to wait behind three grannies slowly selecting carts from the inside corral.

It doesn't just please OCD people, it also lets you sort by date when sorted alphabetically. Anything less is madness.

Although, I think the answer to the barrier to entry is to be less concerned with making federated services feel like centralized apps, more concerned with rebranding server select as the advantage that it actually is. Educate those people.

I appreciate that Randall Munroe isn't a part of the Feynman cult. Angela Collier did a great video about it a few months ago.
