You’re right and I honestly can’t believe that this is how most of the country goes through life.

I think they said they were investigating five incidents so it’s not like it’s a common occurrence. I can absolutely see there being no video evidence of a few incidents. And they also arrested one person for it. Just seems like a lot of work for something that every energy company in the US is criticized for constantly.

why would someone film that though? If I was in that situation my first instinct would be to remove myself from the situation and not aggravate the person pointing a gun at me.

I don’t understand it, I really just don’t understand it. A couple weeks ago that WSJ article was making the rounds at my work, the one that surprisingly was acknowledging long covid. At least I think it was, I didn’t actually read it, but it lead my boss to, at our weekly meeting, proclaim “you know I hate to say it but at this point it seems to be true - covid really is causing a lot of long term issues in people.” I almost fell out of my chair.

Yet in the following weeks, no change in behavior. Still walking around the office, no masks. Still meeting in the small room, no masks. I just don’t understand it at all. I mean before this point I was just assuming most people were in the dark regarding the gravity of the covid issue, propagandized into compliance. Yet here are multiple people in my life all coming to the eye-opening realization that, oh shit maybe there’s mroe to this covid thing. And…nothing. Do I have too much faith in people? Are most people just walking around just waiting for someone to tell them what to do? Is the power of convenience and peer pressure really that strong? I mean this isn’t even asking them to do something for other people, this is asking them to do something for themselves. Like, they can’t even wear a mask for selfish reasons? And I’m not even asking them, it was a conclusion they came to on their own - they don’t even know my stance on covid (I’m remote). There was no one influencing their thoughts but themselves. Yet they refuse to change their behavior at all.

Oh wow look who has been proven right yet again.

This heat is absolutely unbearable. I was out yesterday and I ended up having to reschedule a couple appointments today and tomorrow just because the heat so completely exhausted me and I needed to recover. It doesn’t help that my house is so old and won’t cool down even with all our acs running

Spoonboy? Not actually sure on that. I mention it though because a lot of their music deals with themes of gender. I’m especially thinking of Sexy Dreams. So you might get something out of it either way.

It is 2024. I log into Hexbear. I see a post that gives me psychological damage. I continue scrolling and rack up even more psychological damage.

what is the water:chia ratio you use for the chia egg?

do you throw them straight into the oatmeal, or soak them beforehand?

I am trying to add them to oatmeal, but I think what I’m going to do is soak a bit in water as you say, and then try mixing that gel into the oatmeal. Hopefully that all tastes okay

yeah that’s what I’m getting from trying to read up a bit. I think I’m going to try and soak them for like 15 minutes or something in some water before adding them to the oatmeal.

Really the only two that are in conflict are the nyt and wsj. But job growth can slow even if hiring beat expectations, if expectations were low. CNN seems to be the most accurate in this instance. It’s also the one that’s not basing their headline on entirely subjective “expectations”

epic!

2024 and still no ball condoms

this one time a long time ago I had taken shrooms, and at one point in the night I was outside with my friend and I was pacing around really quickly ranting about something, and my friend says something like “bro you’re too much right now, I need to sit down, do you want to take a seat with me?” and I put my face right up against his like as close as I could get without touching, and I just go “If we slow down, we die.”

“If we slow down we die” has been randomly popping into my head for over a decade.
