CRIP EATIN BREAD posted: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. or to become part of your farm plots billionaires make good ethical fertilizer

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

SamDabbers posted: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 ![]()

it has always amazed me that the nation with the highest number of firearms per capita and some of the most relaxed law regarding firearms acquisition in the world is also the nation where all the people who want radical changes such as "stop turning the country into an 18th century backwater" are unable/unwilling to affect them

I want to believe that the impending threat of nationwide mass evictions on the scale of seven digits will get the american public started on direct action but watching crisis after crisis turn from "hey this sucks let's burn something down" into "please sir may I have some more" in the span of two weeks makes me worry that all that it'll result in is a quiet footnote in a textbook 20 years from now about a curious and unexplained drop in the population of the united states in the year 2020

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

my productivity probably averages to about the same because I can usually work in bursts and then just check out at 2pm. lets me also jump in to help other people out with poo poo which makes my boss happy and causes him to ignore my poo poo for like a week it's kinda like performative productivity sometimes

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
