People have a right to exist and society has a responsibility to care for those who cannot work. The whole point of society is to ensure the health and well being of their members as a WHOLE. If a society cannot or will not care for their elderly or infirm then that is a failed society.

Melancholy. It just sounds so nice. It rolls off the tongue so well and it’s just a beautiful word.

My buddy used to have tarantulas and while I fucking hated and was scared shitless by them, they apparently had recognizable personality quirks and habits according to him. Shiver Creepy little bastards though

Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don’t know if they have an iOS version but I’m on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar

I don’t like religions in general and a lot of the reason is the shitty way (some) adherents feel they can treat women and other minorities and it’s just a-okay dandy because their magic li’l book told them it’s okay. I went to that wedding I mentioned when I was just a pre teen and it really sorta cemented the fact that there’s so much bullshit going on with that and just…no one deserves to deal with that. Just love each other and be happy y’all, it doesn’t seem so complicated to me.

Aw shit I mean uhhhhh no?

Just the wife. It was all about “serving God” and “by serving man you show your devotion to God”. There were uhh…ripples of unease going through the wife’s side when all that was said to put it lightly.

No but in my neighborhood it’s 3.5kUSD/month for a one bedroom studio

Food. Shelter. Healthcare. In a lot of places water. Just staying in general is markedly more difficult.

Best - The one I didn’t go to

Worst - Distant family member’s, he was VERY VERY Christian and she was not so much and he sprung a VERY VERY Christian wedding on her. When the priest started going off about how “the wife is beholden to her husband in all ways, submits in all ways, obeys in all ways” her eyes went all big and she started subtly pulling away and oh man I could just FEEL the “GET ME OUT OF HERE I MADE A MISTAKE” waves radiating off of her. So awkward in the reception she looked close to tears the entire time.

RIP home server, you will be missed

No list, but I saw a lot of communities making posts saying where they were migrating to

Goodbye sweet prince - Signed, sweet prince version 2.0 who missed the deadline

When I was a kid we once had a snow storm so bad it took out the entire (small) town’s power. People huddled up in the mayor’s house because he had a working genny. When the adults had to go out they had to wear goggles or your eyes would start freezing in your skull. Yaaaa Minnesota

I’d take single digit temperatures over 80+ even, let alone 100+, that’s insane, I’m northern born so I start melting around 80, I would die at 100. Hell I’d take double digit negative temperatures only over triple digits
