I am in my mid-30s, and play fortnite semi regularly. Zero-build is just a solid FPS, and the changing load outs keep it fresh. I play pretty much exclusively with friends my age that have moved to other parts of the country and it’s a great way to keep in touch with them.

Supreme Court opens new frontier for insurrection claims that could target state and local officials (apnews.com)

Two recent U.S. Supreme Court actions have opened the door to a new legal frontier in which local and state officials can be disqualified from office for life for engaging in “insurrection” or providing “aid and comfort” to enemies of the Constitution, based on a post-Civil War era addition to the nation’s foundational...

This from a court controlled by the party that decries the federal government having too much power. Watch as the spiders eat their own and go on not caring.

Hi, I grew up in CNY and have been living in Upstate SC for the last 14 years. It is more affordable on the tax side. Our housing costs are catching up to NY (still less taxes). Job opportunity is very industry specific, and generally tough everywhere.

Moving is hard work (physically), but less of a hassle than switching your primary email address. If you have time, vacation to areas you think you might be interested in. When you go, don’t be afraid to be a tourist/outsider, ask for help/directions/opinions of people you cross paths with, it will really help you get a sense of the area and community. Some people might value a thriving board gaming community, while others are looking for climate/mountain/beach opportunities. If it’s something your worried about, also take a look at a natural disaster map to get a sense of what you might be in for.

I have found that most of Appalachia share a culture/ethos. There are a lot of similar attitudes and ideas among rural people in NY and rural people is South Carolina.

AMA.

This article neglects the state of charging and grid infrastructure. We can’t immediately convert all cars to EV, we don’t have the grid capacity or enough charging stations, yet. Each level 3 (fast charging station) is a custom layout and they take time to design and implement.

I’m no Muskcuck, but I am in favor of capping the generational transfer of wealth. Let these big inequalities die with this generation and set up a (more) even playing field for the next. If the rich want enhanced educational outcomes for their kids they have to fund public institutions.

Capitalism didn’t appear over night. It took several attempts and iterations to get it anywhere near what it is today. Most modern theories on the implementation of Marxism focus less on centralized government authority and more on democracy in the work place, and eliminating 3rd party shareholders’ control. Much of the struggle with implementation of this, is that the existing financial structures aren’t set up to handle this type of thing well.

Can you point me to a time when capitalism did happen? Where governments and outside forces weren’t picking winners and losers in the market? In such a time what was the plight of the common worker? Did we see overwork, workplace safety, and child labor issues?

Third wave communism doesn’t seek to abandon the “free market” (which is free within bounds), it instead favors democracy in the workplace. Where all members of the organization are employee-owners including ceos and middle management and the “Board” is dissolved into either a representative or direct democracy made up of employee-owners. In this way one increases the incentives for each individual to perform and see the company perform well. This also mitigates much income inequality by allowing the workers a say in the compensation of middle and upper management.

Put in a sand pit somewhere you are ok with them shitting. Training domesticated cats is an undertaking that in my limited experience comes down to giving them an option they’d prefer over their current behavior. Trying to dissuade a feral cat from shitting where they please humanely seems like a loosing battle.

How's your garden doing? What did you learn this year?

This was only my second year gardening, and first year with my own yard 😤 Everything is in containers. I struggled a lot with figuring out a good place to put containers that got enough sunlight.

This was my first year growing salad greens. I figured they’d mostly be cut and come again, but no. Need to plant a new one every 2-3 weeks and harvest the whole thing otherwise the lettuces get pretty bitter.
