A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US
  • These jobs you are speaking of--washing cars, mowing lawns, even kids working in their parents' store--do you think that is the same as working for a multinational conglomerate handling food with no breaks and minimum wage?

  • NYC issues vacate orders to stabilize synagogue and nearby buildings following discovery of 60-foot tunnel
  • So apparently amateur tunneling can be addictive. Check out tunnel girl Engineer Kala on TikTok if you want to lose your mind on a modern example. William Lyttle is the reining champ; he dug tunnels for fun for 40 years. Destabilized his house, caused sinkholes around town, connected with a rail line.

  • Night shine heterochromia

    In the light, my dog has 2 browns eyes, but the shine at night is 1 red and 1 green. Merry Christmas from Dinah-dog!

  • Some violence will be inevitable; but the real power will be when masses of us pull out of the system. Quit your job or work less. Don't make money, dont spend money, buy only what you need second hand or local. Grow your own food, make your own clothes. Don't pay taxes or pay for local permits if you can get away with it. You can help starve the beast so that others might slay it.

  • Venice gondola capsizes after tourists refuse to sit down and stop taking selfies
  • I wonder if it's like a translation thing? I bet individuals in these groups don't speak the local language but have a translator. Maybe the translator is too deferential and won't actually translate orders properly so as not to offend their clients. Just pulling a guess out my bum; anyone with real experience know?

  • alternative to trees
  • You really think those massive, experimental water tanks won't require more maintenance, because you have to trim trees once ever few years? Or because their roots might grow too much?

  • Yeah where is his photo
  • Same issue with the big bang, since we don't know what created it. I personally believe that God is the universe. The universe manifested itself...somehow...and to me that makes it as close to God as we can get. I hope that the universe is conscious, and that our consciousnesses goes back into the big thing at the end. My evidence is experiential; an excellent acid trip 😉. I do wonder what atheists experience when they trip...

  • Gee wiz y'all why didn't we just all think of that?! Then we could all do the same thing! Obviously this is stupid to the point of making me wonder if it's a troll.

    But I know a lot of people wonder, how do we fix this when we literally can not vote our way out of it? I see only one easy avenue; create alternative systems for housing, food, and energy. We can start small and fragmented, but then grow as things collapse. Keep voting , but learn how to grow food. Buy land with friends and family. Reuse, repurpose, thrift from nonprofits, post things for free on craigslist. Do what you can until you can or must do more.

  • Wake-up Call: Democrats could easily lose the White House and Senate next year
  • I really appreciate your call to do something. I personally don't think we can vote our way out of this, but we all need to do something. Anything. Whatever we can and feel called to do. This isn't the dress rehearsal.

  • American Voters in 2024:
  • What work can we do to get that system? We aren't allowed to vote for it and neither party is interested in more competition. French-style protests might work, but our list of grievances is so long. We'd have to unite under something big...it just all feels like a long shot for our society.

  • American Voters in 2024:
  • The solution is to keep some people from setting the ship on fire for a few more years, while we build lifeboat communities with alternate care systems so that we can withdraw our money and labor from the sinking ship system in a more gradual way that minimizes global and local pain and suffering and death.
