the hard part about harvesting humans is all the poo poo they eat beyond just meds makes their meat gross unless you keep them in captivity for awhile and flush their system with nothing but water. also adrenaline ruins meat so before slaughter they can't be aware of what's happening. it's way too complicated when you can just force them to work your farm plots.

canada is having mixed results because we're one country with many nations in it -- alberta just wants their oil to be worth a positive amount of money again, ontario is dense in more ways than one, quebec probably thinks this is anglo-canadian biological warfare against french canadian culture, and BC is staying at home as much as possible so the number of active cases has basically flatlined

depression and anxiety are natural when your situation is bad and you don't believe that you have any power to change it. a lot of people actually are powerless to change their bad situation in this society, and us culture reinforces the idea that that's an individual problem, not something to be addressed systemically.

it's a fuckin dice roll down there in freedomland when it comes to getting sadbrains sorted out. a friend of mine in virginia finally got some help (combination of therapy and lexapro) after 30 years of depression and anxiety. it's only been a week and he's feeling infinitely better :unsmith:

my corner dive bar just announced they're gone because the property manager wouldn't negotiate on rent :smith:

one thing I'm curious about is what these landlords think is going to happen when there's hundreds of vacant units on the market (or millions in the case of housing) I know the answer is "who cares? we only own the building as an appreciating asset" but still it's loving stupid to get no money instead of some money

our dives are okay but all the artisan cafes and the like are falling apart and one of them is trying to sell outright for $75k

I took a look at their site and their business hours are 9am-3pm Tuesday through Saturday, lmao. it's frankly amazing that they didn't collapse sooner

yeah, that's before the roni. I've never been in there but I took a look through the window the other day and the place is maybe nine feet wide by 40 feet deep including the prep area.

absolutely baffling menu too. twelve dollar antioxidant smoothies and the like prominently featured with regular ol coffee in small print near the bottom of the drinks, right before the fifteen dollar egg salad sandwich with microgreens.

if they weren't trying to sell, I'd assume they were a front

seriously if I had a couple hundred g laying around I'd go buy that ridiculous hours cafe for 75k no questions asked. unless the building's cursed a street-facing cafe (albeit with a parking lot in front) on the main drag of a major suburb shouldn't be a failing operation, assuming you're not running it for exactly only the hours of the day that people are at work.

yeah the push to get boozy poo poo into every store in the US except in states where booze can only be sold in eg. state stores meant compromising the hell out of premade cocktails

like 20 years ago the canadian version of smirnoff ice was 8% or something like that and it would totally get you hosed up but they wanted to save money and unified the product line across the border so now it's the same 5% malt whatever with the sugar content of an FDA-approved serving of chocolate frosted sugar bombs
