Karrot is a used item app that has a feature where you take a picture of an item and it IDs the item and tells you what it’s worth. It’s pretty impressive. It could ID my houseplants better than some dedicated plant ID apps I’ve used. It’s not great with one of a kind items, but otherwise it’s surprisingly accurate.

His name is Hannibal Barka and he is a poodle/Aussie cattle dog mix. He’s an affectionate little cuddle bug and can jump like a kangaroo.

We are increasingly finding out that gut biome affects mood because the majority of serotonin and dopamine are produced in the gut. While I have to see any conclusive research, I would not be the least surprised to see a direct link between glycophosphate and depression discovered in the future.

I would say that is comparing personal identity to a medical definition, two independent and separate concepts.

Personally, I look at people pointing this out like I look at people that feel the need to point out to others that a woman has breast implants. It’s her choice to do what she wants to her own body and pointing it out makes you look like a rude asshole.

You can’t go in and give 100% every day. You will burn out. Give 70% regularly. Only give 100% when shit really hits the fan. People will think you are a miracle worker.

Sounds like a great way to fake your death. The only problem is that everyone will think you died driving a Tesla.

The most self awareness I’ve ever seen in a Trump voter.

I’m obviously no expert, but it is the people who are of value, not the land. I see evacuation as the most straightforward way to avoid loss of life or the enslavement of a free people. Taiwan has been useful, but it’s not like we don’t have military bases near enough in the Philippines and Okinawa. Taking the Taiwanese people permanently out of the reach of CCP dominance would be the biggest blow we could land against China.

I was kinda assuming it was a voluntary thing. Like the people are Taiwan, not the land.

Alabama isn’t THAT bad.

Give the Taiwanese people Alabama and move them there. Then give China an empty island

I still have burn scars on my knuckles from working at a bagel restaurant that used one of those when I was a teenager.

BMW driver’s can’t even change a tire in my experience.

They can shift around a little bit, but they don’t really walk as a means of travel.

Dragonflies.

Their nymph phase is aquatic and in their adult phase they only fly. Their legs are only for grasping.

We are talking about beating Republicans and that doesn’t stop at the polls.

Look, Bernie was the only political race ever where I donated money, so when I say this know where I am coming from. We have no idea if Bernie would have been any more effective than Biden if elected. Maybe the right would have reacted so hard that he would have been obstructed every step of the way, accomplished nothing, and we would have gotten Trump anyway. Maybe they would have just killed him in the first year and we would have ended up in the Civil War 2.

Zohran Mamdani is a great example. He beat the Dems on their own grounds. I have faith he can be a leader against the Republican administration precisely because he proved he has a plan and the ability to execute it in spite of resistance.

We need to get rid of “first past the post” election systems. That will allow candidates like Mamdani to be competitive in a larger variety. The way I see it, this will NEVER happen through Republicans and as the system exists now there are only two viable choices. I’m not saying it won’t be an uphill battle, but at least there has been some progress in making elections more representative of a variety of political views under Democrats.

You don’t think being able to win against an entrenched power structure in spite of legislative obstruction is at all relevant to defeating Republicans?
