24 years with the wife today 🥳

la_cues · 2023-04-14T08:51:41+00:00

Congrats man.

Me and the wife are going on 7 years married, 12(?) years together total. It's funny how "special" becomes a lot more simple as time goes by. A nice home cooked dinner and a walk together or something like that.

For our 5 years I bought us new wedding bands, simple silver.

Maybe do something together that you haven't done in a long time, or something from one of your first few dates. Think about when you first got together, and how far you've come. Next one is 25, you're gonna have to go all out. (If you are anything like me, start planning now)

And yes, taters in bacon grease.

I think it's an amazing idea, just not used properly, by users or by Twitter admin.

A single, high fidelity, distribution service that puts out publicly facing content.

I don't need to visit every individual site/creator I like to keep up with, it comes to a single feed and I just follow each account individually. (RSS obviously does this much better)

For when I don't want to follow an account, it's easy enough for me to check the account manually for updates (like, "Why is my online banking not working?" Go check the bank's Twitter feed for explanation). I don't have to dig through their press releases in their site, they don't have to update a whole webpage for temporarily relevant information.

Mmm weissbier

I am going down an herbal rabbit hole lately, I currently have 1 gal of yarrow beer, day 9 of fermentation. My starter was cobbled together with some bread yeast and a sourdough starter a family member had going for a few days. It was a very slow fermentation process, but has a constant small ring of bubbles and "bubble foam" at the top? Smelling quite fermenty now.

I am going to try to bottle carbonate half of it but I'm not sure if the yeast is active enough to really make anything happen.

Previously I've attempted a couple ginger bug drinks, and an apple/oat/kvass somethingerather with mixed results.

Isn't this the benefit to the compromise of having a union of States under a Fed? People have the ability to self organize within the union. The State's ability of self governance should have a stronger importance.

the idea of having vast huge nations falls apart on its own.

But what if each state was actually ok with working along side of, but also kinda separate from, other "ethno" states within the same union?

How would this even work in practice? In a country like Canada, would a more "USA" leaning group of people flood a into a border town and then vote to be a part of the USA? Who in the USA has the power to approve such a thing?? Does taxation and citizenship and natural resource rights just transfer over???

There are direct discrimination policies and economic sanctions in place over people who choose not to get vaccinations.

People on either side of the debate on vaccine or mask effectiveness, or issues with the health/vaccine industries, should be able to agree that discrimination mandates are wrong. And they do, because I believe the majority of people out there are fighting simply for equality justice, but others who share views like YOU are oversimplifying and generalizing on issues like this, trying to maintain division.

You also make the rational people who are fine with everyone's health being their personal choice scared to speak up, lest they be demonized in the eyes of their peers.

Regulations increase barriers to entry.

Not if the regulation specifically ONLY removes the potential power of a company in a "monopoly position".

So, a regulation that seeks to minimize regulations for the individual looking to engage in market.

la_cues · 2022-01-27T02:08:08+00:00

I like the bigotry-neutral term!

la_cues · 2022-01-27T01:55:24+00:00

Yes I agree.

Some people think that once a market has any rules it is no longer "free", however I think laws could be restructured in a way that upholds the "free market" for the people, not for corporations.

Laws that would help:

Reduce barriers to entry. (Especially needless and stringent regulations, and those that have a high cost to meet. Many times these regulations are lobbied in, to make it easy for a corporation with millions of dollars to meet but impossible for the average citizen to meet; ie industrial level metal detecting for meat producers. Pointless regulation for small scale or family farms anyway!)

Abolish lobbying.

Abolish the idea of a "publicly held company".

Restructure systems like employment law for sole proprietorships.

Restructure tariff and import/export system? Restructure tax brackets? (Tax only at the corporate level, no tax for individuals)

Pretty much the laws should simply always prioritize the rights and freedoms of the individual. Then, I think economically more people would act in ways that would naturally not favour monopolies. Such as supporting community and local more, because Joe down the road actually can run his own dairy and he's not regulated out of the market by default.

edit: To touch on natural monopolies more specifically: I'm thinking the only truly fair way would have public infrastructure like water/electric be totally "nationalized" (I don't know what term to use on the municipal level?)

The "companies" that run the service exist wholeheartedly for the people, running at 0 profit and charging cost through toll to its users. (very important: don't tax everyone for a service if they may not use it)

Most people in modern society have chronic general health issues, or specifically issues with digestion.

It's known that even simple constipation allows some leakage of waste material back into the blood stream. Add that to beating the shit out of your digestive lining and it probably just worsens the effect.

Modern living is filled with may small factors that contribute to worsened health. Alcohol, caffeine, prescription or otherwise drug use, bad sleep, processed diet, anal sex. It's all bad and no worse unless its compounded with various others.

la_cues · 2021-10-20T23:34:46+00:00

I think that anal sex damages the internal lining of the rectum, perhaps allowing for leakage into the rest of the blood stream, and causing/contributing to STDs, AIDs, and other degenerative diseases.

Yes, you pay to lock in your alias, and have a record of your comments/votes. Essentially payment allows for all "account" features.

It's like club fees for members, but everyone would feel good building their club together. Small payment also encourages usage ("well I'm paying for it, might as well use it!")
