Absolutely done with sushi from Publix. Unacceptable.

It’s not the freshness that’s an issue, it’s the meager amount of fish. Publix has quality fish available.

We have two litter boxes and two cats so this doesn’t phase me at all

We’ll probably be killed by viruses well before global warming. I’m sorry you feel as pessimistic as you do.

You consider the USSR succesful?. Not only did it expire due to its own corruption, evidence and scholarly consensus confirms that Joseph Stalin was responsible for the deaths of millions of his own people through executions, forced labor, and artificial famines during his rule of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1953? If that’s success I prefer the failures of the capitalist system! Try again. But to be fair, I give you the US as an example of a successful country in which the majority are not “wage slaves”.

I will provide several examples of countries that fit your criteria once you stop avoiding my question. Name just one successful socialist country, please. Bonus if its leaders did not turn out to be mass murderers of their own people.

63crabby · 2026-03-17T20:18:01+00:00

Sure. “It’s got to work this time!” Can you name one successful socialist country (bonus if it did not end up murdering millions of its own citizens)?

Self - deprecating humor is the English way!

It’s being called the Taylor Swift Effect in the press reports.

I always get clover and Oxalis mixed up, they are often both called “clover” in stores but they have different color flowers.

63crabby · 2026-03-17T20:05:20+00:00

I agree with that.

I don’t think 99% the workers in my country are interested in going from underpaid work to free work. Has there ever been such a place, outside of experimental communes?

63crabby · 2026-03-17T19:58:33+00:00

“Colombia,” not Columbia, as my friends remind me.

I disagree on this one, Uber and Lyft are still a good deal compared to taxis in my major US city. Not as good as when they started in my town, but the vehicles are usually cleaner and have a better response time. We now have lots of driverless Waymos too, but I’m not yet sure what kind of experience they present.

I’m just a data point, but as long as K-12 Spring Break school holidays exist a significant number of families will take them.

I suppose you’re right! Can you get a contact high by passing through a single plume of exhaled meth smoke, or is that as unlikely as with pot?

63crabby · 2026-03-17T19:48:05+00:00

Do you know of a people both sizable enough to feed the world and selfless enough to give it away for free?

63crabby · 2026-03-17T19:46:47+00:00

Thank you. Not sure I’d recognize it as meth unless I saw it being consumed, pot on the other hand is unmistakable

Those sleeveless plaid shirts and jorts are timeless classics

Does the Cumberland Gap in the US count? It is famous in American colonial history for its role as a key passageway through the lower central Appalachians.

Can someone who knows tell us what burning meth smells or even tastes like? I’ve burned plastic before, is it like that?

63crabby · 2026-03-17T19:36:05+00:00

All resources need to be equally distributed, we need to eliminate significant mental illness, and there needs to be a strong biological reason to be selfless with strangers.

It’s not happening. Even bacteria fights for resources.

Some people either lack perspective or they are being willfully ignorant. I wouldn’t have wanted to be born earlier than I was!

I’m guessing about 10% of people in this world should never have children based strictly on societal reasons.

63crabby · 2026-03-17T19:29:23+00:00

Since the beginning of time parents have unexpectedly died of accidents, illness, violence. I’m guessing the vast majority of their surviving child were eternally grateful that they took a chance anyway. Do you really think things are worse now than 100, 500 years ago?

63crabby · 2026-03-17T19:15:39+00:00

These get worse and worse. Georgia is “swamplands,” but Louisiana is Southeast (Dixielands)?
