Boil everything and hope nothing survives since the fresh produce is screwed too

Trump’s allies often dismissed [Pope] Francis as overstepping his spiritual boundaries and acting as a political figure.

lolololol

Thank you, I appreciate it. /gen

Why NSFW?

Insomnia.

I finally landed on a sleep pattern that (mostly) alleviates/prevents my chronic migraines and today I got all of 45 minutes and haven’t been able to get a wink since. Think Green Day’s Brain Stew.

Trying to keep my meds and routines as much as possible and hopefully stay up/sleep in to where I need to but I worry I’m screwed for the next week or so.

Gross income (before taxes) for US federal minimum wage is $15,080 for full-time. So, close to 10x less.

Not sure what the late American music artist, XXXTentacion (left) has to do with this, but it did spur me to look up and find out that Republican former New York representative George Santos (right) has recently been sentenced for his fraudulent political campaign.

US South? I swear to calculus like 2/3 of Atlanta is covered in kudzu, it’s nuts.

NSAIDs worsen my asthma so I have no other choice besides staying in pain 🥲

Excellent points :) I do use Libby through my local library for reading e-books so it’s a great suggestion.

I do this because all too often book print is tiny whereas I can adjust font size on a digital page.

I love physical books, but accessibility is sometimes a problem.

It’s technically there on a separate drive entirely, but I haven’t touched it in at least a year. Probably gonna have to when I need to brush up for my cert renewal though

You wouldn’t need to. It would do it all by itself ¯\(ツ)/¯

I’m gonna sound like a boomer but cigarettes and not using PPE, including with recreational activities such as motorcycling and hobby crafts.

Becoming a meat crayon isn’t worth “looking cool.”

Like I said, my understanding of South American politics is limited.

While Wikipedia can be prone to bias of course, it seems Maduro has been described as an autocrat and the UN has put Venezuela on human rights watchlists, and Venezuelans have fled the country for reasons similar to what the US seems to be aiming to achieve in the past three months.

Arguably it can be considered evil to force those kidnapped back into the same country they tried to flee instead of freeing them and offering them asylum, but here we are.

TL;DR:

Bukele says he’ll free the ~250 kidnapped/wrongfully imprisoned Venezuelans, if Maduro releases the same number of Venezuelans from Venezuelan prisons - primarily imprisoned political dissidents.

Bukele’s administration also is pushing for wrongfully imprisoned passport holders from other nations to be freed from Venezuelan prisons, though it’s less clear if that’s a stipulation of the same agreement.

Overall it’s not the most heinous thing I’ve seen, but my understanding of South American politics is limited as someone from North America.

Keep learning, keep trying new things, keep seeking out the perspectives of others (outside of these coworkers of course).

The older people I know who aren’t stubborn and slowing down are the ones who follow the above.

Ooblets!

Take a cross between Pokémon and Stardew Valley, make the fights dance battles, and toss in some Slime Rancher aesthetics and you have Ooblets.

There’s an American comedian, Gary Gulman, who has a joke something along the lines of “Pop Tarts were invented as a way to say ‘fuck you’ to poor people.”

They are objectively terrible; given mainly to the children whose parents did not have the time to make them breakfast, or could not afford a better meal. Fondness for them comes from nostalgia, most likely.

Yeah lol that’s like an over-skirt/tutu sort of deal that was painted the wrong color. Should be a lighter shade of blue (according to branding, since the movie dress was originally white)
