I have tendonitis because exercise is how I cope with the rise of fascism and I overdid it because, well, I think I now live in a dictatorship.

Now I can’t exercise. And camping season just started for me. I’m staring out the window longing for the woods and the deserts and the mountains of the PNW hoping it will all still be there in a few weeks when my body is healed.

Alan Wake 2 has great voice acting. I think the main character is just naturally more subdued and when compared with the theatricality of BG3 it just seems worse if you’re expecting that style.

This is not a shitpost. Politics need to stop leaking into shitposting and meme subs.

I’m autistic and trying to figure out if autism is an at-risk minority group. It doesn’t help that I was extremely vocal on Reddit about how much I hate Trump and Musk. I deleted my account, but Reddit is now a fascist platform and would likely turn over my posts and email address to this administration without a second thought.

I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure if I could even leave at all, with my debilitating anxiety and trauma.

It took a moment for this delectable meta humor to register in my brain. Top notch.

Fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply that we’re as good as the French at protesting. I don’t think anyone is. They are the world champion protestors. I wonder what platform they use to organize.

Yes, I covered that in my comment.

Are you saying that if the people organizing the event aren’t members of Congress, that they will be targeted and vanish? That’s a scary thought. Perhaps the leaders should be kept anonymous.

I would argue that we are. 21,000 in Paris is very similar to 34,000 in Denver. The thing us Americans need to get better at is organizing ourselves. We shouldn’t require leaders like Bernie Sanders and AOC to get us to show up. The regular people of France are amazing at protesting on their own, and we desperately need that kind of energy.

Last Week Tonight did a story about dollar stores:

Yeah, they’re as bad as you’d expect.

Fun fact: there have been several instances throughout history where someone had the opportunity to interview known cannibals. The most obvious question that comes to mind is “what do we taste like,” and the answer has always been pork.

Maybe this had something to do with the taboo. It certainly turned me off the idea of eating pork.

The kind that is supposed to be an animal, but has successfully separated itself from nature through technology. Modern humans are plagued with anxiety and negativity bias, because those things kept our ancestors alive long enough to reproduce. The happy, anxiety-free people were careless and died before they could reproduce.

Fjallraven makes technical pants that are fantastically durable, and waterproof. They are waterproof because they are a waxed canvas, so you can remove the waterproofing and make them more durable by washing them on a hot cycle, or add wax and melt it into the fabric with a heat gun.

They’re expensive, so wait for one of their sales. I paid $140ish (USA) for both of my pairs, it it was worth every cent. They come with a lifetime warranty, so living near a fjallraven store is helpful as they will repair them and wax them for you for free.

Technically they’re only supposed to provide this service for 10 years after purchase (which is still worth it considering how much abuse I put them through) but Fjallraven employees will still provide tailoring/waxing even if you don’t have a receipt. I asked someone at their Seattle location about this and they said they have a customer who has been bringing in their pants for repair for 30 years. They’ll mail your clothes back to you after they finish with repairs/waxing.

I have two pairs, one vidda pro ventilated for shoulder seasons and winter, and one pair of abisko lite trekking zip offs for summer. The vidda pro pants I use for winter sports instead of snow pants. The zip offs can be converted into shorts for hot days.

I was promised ducks, but only received duck. I am outraged but will let it slide because this singular duck is pretty dope.

Fair enough. People are fatigued by the constant barrage of political posts, I just figured there were rules against this sort of thing. I’m new to Lemmy and still figuring out how to even view the rules in the voyager app.

Does that list include the same political posts that have infested damn near every other sub in existence? I go to shitpost subs for silliness, not more of the same crap we get everywhere.

This does NOT belong in the sub.
