Bowel movement?
This is absolute insanity. Hopefully, the entire Russian LGBTQ+ community will move from the awful place.
This reminds me of Derrick Jensen’s 20 premises in his book entitled: Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization.
The premises are here.
I’m not sure about all of the features but you could look into https://jitsi.org/
No worries.
I don’t believe that’s how aquifers work.
Probably for a very long time…we live in a very remote area…in the wilderness of Maine…our county has never allowed commercial development…the only things here are camps/cabins/homes.
Luckily I have well water…probably some of the cleanest water on Earth…I’ve tested it several times with kits.
The corruption and income inequality, in this country, disgusts me.
Thank you for being an active (i.e. moderator) part of the Beehaw project. It means a lot to me considering what you are going through.
When I was going through the toughest part of my life (I’ll spare everyone the details), a friend of mine said to me: “This too shall pass”. At the time, I felt like their statement was trite and dismissive.
Once I made it out into the other side of that shit, I realized that this was one of the best things that was said to me.
What you are going through is temporary. You will overcome this. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
…stop conflating Zionism with Judaism…
Well, that’s the rub. Lighting candles or throwing water onto people’s foreheads isn’t Judaism nor Christianity.
I believe that very many people, who claim to be either Jewish or Christian, do not have the fundamental knowledge of their own faith traditions. To be even more specific, they have no clue what the core of their faith tradition teaches.
I’ve been studying academic biblical scholarship for around thirty years, so that is why I can speak to this issue. I could go on and on about this subject matter and I may make some in-depth posts about it in the future.
I’ve been with Beeper since beta testing and use it with Discord. iMessage works fine for me btw. If anyone wants an invite, then I’d be happy to give you one.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Is UBI = Universal Basic Income?
Yeah…I believe a revolution could, easily, break out in America.
…I don’t see that happening before revolt does.
This has come to my mind many times. I have this gut feeling that a large portion of our population will just come to the end of their rope with nothing to lose. I believe that a massive civilian uprising could begin to dismantle civilization as we know it. It could get ugly here.
About five years ago, I tried to make my way through One Pixel Wealth. It was so disheartening that it took me several months to get to the end. My mind and emotions were so taxed by the experience.
I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien warned us, through his books, about ‘diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold’. The, roughly, 400 Americans (representing the ‘1%’) aren’t human.
I don’t know where America is headed, but this country I live in is in despair and need of great reform.
late-stage capitalism
I haven’t heard about this. Would you mind explaining?
BTW, my brother lives in Portland Oregon. I was able to visit him last year and was impressed by downtown and the shore.
