Your instinct to rail me is dead on. Bent over, submissive, and ready to go - I’m here whenever you’re ready.
But in the meantime, it’s been a long day, so get some rest. You’ve earned it.
I actually love the feeling of a hot wall of furnace hitting me when I go outside. Thick smell of life in the air, chlorophyll, baking earth. The hot blanket of the sun. The sweat, the sweaty men, the shirtless men. OK I am getting off track, we were talking about sweaty men I think?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Besides gas and housing, what else makes you do a double take at how much it costs now?English
3 daysThe media has been hyping the shit out of how bad gas prices are, when they’ve not really gotten bad yet, but wait as we run out of strategic reserve.

3 daysBack when a $20 could get you a carton of premium brand, tax included, all my friends had multiple cartons in their trunks. Even then sometimes they’d get crazy and drive across the state line to get them for $14/carton, buying a few cases and bringing them back.
Cartons now at or above $100/carton.
But that’s mostly excise tax, not the manufacturer taking a bigger cut. We want people to smoke less, because it costs us less as a society (in money and misery) so we force the price of cigarettes up, and sure enough it works.

7 daysSmart move on his part is to die as close to inauguration day as possible, but not beyond it.
Our office is chilled like a meat locker meaning lots of us have space heaters under our desks, which in turn make the A/C work harder. It’s damn depressing when you’re someone who cares about energy conservation, but my joints can’t take the cold.
Whereas I would be happy working outside until it’s 100* or more.
I just need to change industries.

science@lemmy.world•Your brain was never designed for this much bad newsEnglish
9 daysI got tired of this and started a nonprofit, it in turn attracted a following and now we spend our time doing good instead of reading doom news all the time, and it’s turned my mental state around considerably.
All you need is a little bit of info about org formation and leadership, and a lot of righteous indignation about the current state of things.
And yes before anyone asks I do think almost anyone could do this or at very least join one.

11 daysWe know there was an arsonist operating a few miles away last year. They arrested him for starting a fire, and then released him the next day, and so a lot of us believe it’s him or another serial arsonist, yeah. But as you say, there are many rea$ons old houses burn down :(

11 daysI’ve got photos of me and my neighbors in the house across the street from the Covid era. In the few years since, it went vacant, and then started getting break-ins and squatters, we chased them out many times. Then one morning last December, I woke up to see the house engulfed in flames. It was about 130 years old. One of about 6 old houses torched by squatters in my area in the last year…
God cast the souls He created but deemed “bad” out into nothingness, Satan created a refuge for them so they could at least exist, if in the cold uncaring shadow of a vengeful, loveless God.
