They can tell wonderful stories if you pick the right ones. Personally I find Disco Elysium to be particularly good at this.

Nah, I love when people stack plates. Makes my life easier

I sometimes make decorations for christmas out of sticks, pinecone, and other stuff I find. For Halloween my partner and I will carve a pumpkin. I think for us it has less to do with the holidays and more about bringing the nature of a season inside

Mandarain opens up communication with over a billion people

It scares me how much power it gives the ruling class

This sounds very different from the chili I am used to. Gonna make this and report back in a few days.

Any idea as what would work best as a meat substitute here?

ChatGPT is awful for the environment and should not be used

Communism & Palestine

Enough to meet the needs of me and my loved ones for the rest of our lives. I already can’t fucking sleep in comfortable conditions

NO MORE FUN!

I’m ootl. Quick summary?

I think people are more encouraged to participated on lemmy than they are on reddit. I used to be able to make posts on a reddit community of 10s of thousands and never get a response. It almost never takes more than a few minutes here. Moreover, Reddit is spilling over with bots and has been for years and the responses you’d get to a post or comment are often obiously reflective of this.

I am going to take this as if you mean universal laws that cannot be violated and not laws imposed by a state. These are 3 rules that I think if everyone followed would lead to a world better than the current one.

• treat other as you would wish them to treat you
• work to provide for those who are less able than you
• don’t knowlingly pursue unsustainable or unachievable goals

• Entropy must always increase with time in a closed system

I’d take my partner somewhere nice I think. Haven’t had the time recently

That’s fucking awful I’m so sorry

Meeting my partner. We met quite young, very formative years. I definitely wouldn’t be the person I am now if it weren’t for her and I am relatively certain I would have been worse.

Oh yeah also marxism radically altered my perception of the world. I can’t say I enjoy it but I am glad it happened.

Neocolonialism maybe?

My parents had decent taste and decent money when I was a teen. My first interactions with alcohol were expensive wines they were willing to give me a taste of and some expensive liquors I siphoned out of. I am now broke and all the liquor I can afford sucks. Their desire for bourgeois decadence ruined my college indulgences in cheap liquor.
