I just wanna say I adore Carol Kane.

Looks like you’re using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can’t remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)

I’ve had success in the past tracking that way.

At least with a brick and mortar store you actually know what you’re getting*

*to a degree. You still won’t know how well it will actually hold up in the real world - but you can at least get an idea of it’s construction (Materials/stitching and so on) that you don’t/can’t get via an online shop (especially with all the bogus reviews nowadays)

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

I mean thats kind of a good thing? And it’s right in the name? Universal Basic

UBI should be enough to comfortably survive - at least enough to cover food and shelter (with associated costs ie electricity/water/heat)

Working a job while on UBI would pay for enrichment type stuff - vacations night at the movies etc.

As it is now working doesn’t guarantee any of the 1st category that UBI should/would cover never mind the 2nd.

If they’re suffering let it end - if they can still maintain a good quality of life let them live… I’m also for human euthanasia.

No matter the amount of love - if the pain is unmanageable or their quality of life is shit let them go.

I wish they would let us do custom words/ sentences.

There’s a few words (I cant think of them now) that i tried that even after gliding multiple times I couldn’t even get the correct word in suggestions.

I would love being able to type them in and then glide them to train.

As far as I’m aware it is bullshit, but some places may have it as an actual rule.

Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.

There is very little engagement on Lemmy besides in a few communities. What little engagement there is - is driven by a few users.

Even broad conversion topics get very little engagement.

I get not everyone wants to be a topic “starter” (i know I don’t), but they can’t even bother to either:

1: just post a tiny comment (look at “what are you watching” in the movies / TV subs on piefed.Social; seems like a real easy topic for anyone to engage in and yet there’s only ever like 10 posts and zero upvotes)

2: upvote topics or posts; While the points don’t matter - they still show and promote engagement.

Its honestly rather frustrating.

In single-player games I occasionally “lightly” cheat.

Using “infinite” mods or unlock “everything” mods just ruins all the fun for me.

But unlock a specific thing or get a small amount of rss type cheats that reduce grind I like.

Birds?

Honestly I can’t remember the last time a fitgirl release took longer to install than an ‘official’ copy.

And pretty much as long as I’ve had a computer it’s been “bottom of the barrel” hardware.

Yeah that’s why I never really got into the scouts - it felt culty (not that I could articulate that back then.)

I enjoy B5 - but to me it’s getting really long in the tooth visually. DS9 holds up much better in that regard.

“If it doesn’t get me sick, why care?” That’s why.

Just because it doesn’t make you sick tracking germs/filth around can get other people sick.

And just because you’re fine with shit and piss (yours or others) on your hands doesn’t mean other people are.

You don’t wanna wash your hands at home fine - but “refusing” to wash hands in a public setting is a shitty move.

Then maybe you should rethink you other comment jackass.

Let me guess you also refused to wear a mask during COVID. Sometimes stuff isn’t about you.

Its not about getting sick. It’s about getting filth on your just cleaned hands.

I’ve only seen this in a few places - and of the places most had them installed in the most awkward/ineffective way.

I’m just spitballing, but maybe it could work as a preventative? If it’s started early enough.

It could be that Alzheimer’s just isn’t reversable - like the brain is scarred by it - and look how long even minor scars remain on skin.
