Another point on the ‘return to monke’ scale.

The vibes are pretty comfy until you get past -15°C and/or mid-to-late January. After that, it’s either too cold, too slushy, or too grey and gross for me to enjoy.

Give me a summer evening/late night over that any day. Do love me a good snowstorm, though (from inside, with a hot spiked coffee and simulated fireplace).

Ngl an art installation at BM that is literally a pillar of salt would be funny as shit.

Kinda funny to see it in Canada as well, especially when you throw Quebec culture into the mix (things seem a little more sex positive over there compared to other parts of the country, which is neat to think about sometimes).

I’d say it’s a little thornier than that. By tipping, you support the person who has to take the job that doesn’t pay them a living wage. Absolutely, this can have the side effect of supporting the system creating this condition, but so too does patronizing businesses that employ this practice. The best move if you don’t want to support the system is to not patronize businesses that function this way at all. Increasing corporate revenue while not contributing to the welfare of the person who had to take that job is not a morally better position.

Feel somewhat similar about giving money to beggars, though with slightly more emphasis on the voluntary nature of the act (which itself could be fodder for moral discussion - what’s the difference between Jack the Hobo’s and Jack the Barista’s experience?). End of the day, while systematic overhaul so both of these conditions are irrelevant is warranted, for both groups it’s about survival until the next day (yes, for some beggars survival includes dope, withdrawl is hell). The revolution ain’t coming tomorrow, and even if it did there’s time required to get these folks what they need. It’s entirely possible they wouldn’t make it to that point without voluntary support from individuals or small groups.

some people don’t know you can align the USB by checking if the holes on the outside are filled or not

This one statement has me questioning a large swath of my life to date. Booting from the (eventually) correctly aligned USB has always been the easy part.

Nausea has never been as fun as it was back then.

If you’re an adult Pokemon fan, these days fan-mades or rom hacks are the way to go. Nintendo/The Pokemon Company/Game Freak are pretty damn risk averse with this property, so the really cool stuff comes from fans (at least until they get the cease and desist).

Imagine if instead of going to the bar for a beer you went to the restaurant to eat some THC infused food

Brother I’ve been imagining this since legalization here. More than a few restaurateurs were as well, only to be disappointed by the current legislation.

My kingdom for a legal, indoor cannabis consumption space that doesn’t have to get around things by being a funded experiment or ‘grey area, members only “private club”’ (translation: open as long as cops can’t be arsed to bother raiding, and you do a little kabuki theatre the first time you visit). And tinctures, infused drinks and edibles are the clear best choices of RoA in those spaces given anti-smoking laws.

I don’t have enough space, good enough acoustics, enough money, distance from my neighbours or appropriate zoning to let bands play in my house on a regular basis. So alas, I must leave my house once and a while.

Edit: And the people outside my house make way better tacos than I do, though this can be worked on.

I really need to try it again with a guide, I want to see the wild shit after that first damn level.

For me, it was always consoles I never actually got. Dreamcast for a while (VMUs were so fucking cool), then the GP32.

Not much of a gamer these days, but I love this format and what you are doing here. Keep it up!

I second mycoboutique, it is cute as fuck.

Sometimes, I think about the fact that if I post something really useful here, our traffic’s still so comparatively small that it probably won’t come up in a search engine query.

But that’s the way I like it, baby - I don’t want to live forever.

So I’ve since quit, and I understand why even what I’m about to describe doesn’t exist anymore where I am, but right at the tail end of smoking indoors there were businesses/buildings doing totally walled off, wellish ventilated smoking areas. Those seemed ok to me, and when I (stupidly) took up smoking I was sad those were gone.

The only, and last, one I saw when I was a smoker was in an airport, which was an unexpected godsend because my fuck does it suck to be a smoker waiting for a flight.

(Yes, it’s a gross and deadly habit that’s also unhealthy and gross for the people around you and the employees who had to work in/clean such spaces, and it makes sense to have no smoking indoors).

45 and flight?

I have a soft spot for Crystal, in terms of the official series.

If we include rom hacks, Crystal Clear is great, and I’m really enjoying Pokemon Emerald Rogue these days.

If you’re not daily driving Arch, btw, did you even join Lemmy?

I know you’re not daily driving Arch because you didn’t mention it.

(Jokes, obvs. Congrats on the self-discovery!)

The U.S. has some cool shit to see as a tourist - even aside from the obvious stuff (example: I really, really wanted to check out Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas. It’s literally just a bunch of Cadillacs half-buried and absolutely crusted in spray paint).

But yeah, right now even the legit draws for tourism aren’t worth it. And there’s a scarily good chance it never will be again.
