I was permanently suspended from Reddit as a whole for hate speech because in an /r/hockeyplayers “chirp” thread a guy posted a picture of his white skates and I asked if his husband had a matching pair.
It was insensitive, but that’s what chirp threads are for.
I don’t own a car and walk or bike everywhere I need to. I buy clothes and things I need second hand and support local shops when it comes to food and drink. I live in a small apartment/flat and recycle everything I can.
I don’t even care about the state of the world anymore. I’ve given up - the world is fucked. Can’t do anything about it, and I’m doing everything I can - so I’ll just carry on and live my life. Yeah, people will be fucked down the line, but what am I supposed to do more than what I’m already doing?
Talk about it and get angry. Show your sphere of influence how concerned you are; friends and family will pay more attention to you than they will to any scientist, celebrity or politician.
I'm somewhat in the same boat. I do what I can but now I'm disenfranchised from the whole engagement. I'll continue to be a steward for the environment but don't expect me to be optimistic or angered by the state of affairs.
She was 5 months old when we got her.
She had like 3 foster families I believe, we have no idea if she was properly separated from her mom or not, and what happened during that time.
Most likely something happened to her that caused some kind of fear.
My younger one also had some rough “childhood”. History is, he got into my car, the bottom of it inside the protective plastics. I was at work and couldn’t for the hell of it remove the cat. So I had to drive home, where with the help of my brother I lifted the car and had to remove those plastics to be able to rescue him. (I drove 40km with him scared always meowing, rough ride).
Took him right away to a vet to see if there was something he needed care with, had just a burn in his tail which I got medicine for.
Nowadays he’s scared very easily and hate visits. Though he’s the sweetest cat, even allows me to pet his belly. But that’s why I guessed that he already had some history.
I had Comodo installed once, about 14 years ago. I had the immediate feeling that it’s malware only. There is no protection, just annoying stuff that digs deep into your system, making it vulnerable.
And people thought I was kidding when I wondered a few years ago when we would have to face the problem of not even being able to drive due to melting tires from the heat.
They start to lose integrity around 200⁰C or 390⁰F… we’ll be dead long before our tires randomly soften to the poi t rhey deform.
But you’re right that friction under even slightly higher heat means they’ll wear out significantly quicker. Drivers might need to change them every 1-2 years instead of 3-5, as a hypothetical.
I live in the Phoenix area. Every summer, as it starts to heat up (so like april…) you start seeing the tire debris everywhere, and the higher frequency of cars pulled over with flat tires… Heat is absolutely a factor in premature tire failure, whether or not the rubber is literally melting.
I mean of course some people don’t change their tires when they’re supposed to, or continue driving on flat tires to get to move their vehicle from the place it originally went flat. So sure when not being used as designed, of course there is a bias towards rubber tearing in the triple digits instead. If you’re not an idiot driving on safety hazards it’s extremely unlikely.
Potatoes. You don’t need a lot of light and they grow from the sprouts of old potatoes. They do need some water though. Same with other root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. But I’ve never managed to get a sweet potato to grow. Carrots and potatoes and tomatoes grow good in the fall and winter in az. Now I’m just trying to figure out what to grow to can for the summer months.
I was banned from /r/politics for posting the famous Kennedy quote, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
The ban reason? "Glorifying violence."
I mean, I do glorify violence, I just wasn't doing so at that exact moment.
