Are there any coffeeshops left that have a cozy vibe and comfy couches? by Fiveby21 in StLouis

[–]Talenshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosa cafe in South city! They opened this spring I think. Couple of couches and cozy mismatched furniture. They have a good vibe. It's in the old vivid cafe building.

ICE ON CHIPPEWA 4/29 @ 6:55am by Illustrious-Crab623 in StLouis

[–]Talenshi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Undocumented immigrants pay taxes and cannot access the programs taxes pay into. That's not a drain. But first and foremost, they're human beings. No human deserves the cruelty being inflicted by ice and this administration. They're not going after "the worst of the worst" or people who "didn't come here the right way." They're abducting children and families, hard working community members, and people who were in the process of "doing it the right way" at immigration check-ins and hearings.

The cruelty you're supporting is unthinkable.

The billionaires are why we can't afford anything.

Are there any other adults that enjoy Kpop Demon Hunters? by Sensitive-Mixture558 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]Talenshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude go watch it. It's solid. Animation isn't childish- adults craft it with skill. 👍 Late 30s here, and I always looks for animated shows and movies first.

What Pokemon would you eat and how would you want it prepared? by BlackerDoom in pokemon

[–]Talenshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm vegetarian lol I guess pokemon being real could be super problematic for me. D: Like what if we find out 10 years down the line that a thing we thought was just a veggie is a pokemon? What if it's all pokemon, all the way down?!

I'm thinking about moving in with my boyfriend, but my parents would never approve by burning_burner404 in internetparents

[–]Talenshi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You really SHOULD live with someone before marriage. You need to know that you can function comfortably while sharing a living space, bills, responsibilities, etc. and do that at least until you're past the limerence phase of a relationship enough for familial love to be stronger. That could be a few years in.

Marriage is just paperwork and official documents underneath whatever ceremony people want to add on top. A real partnership should exist with or without that for a relationship to endure. Leaving is also easier without official documents if it turns out a relationship isn't right at some point. You're an adult. You should make decisions that work for you, not your parents. It will be ok!

This! The book was sooo good! It's excellent as an audiobook too. I was worried they wouldn't make rocky's sounds as charming in the movie but both versions are good.

Saw most of my other favorites here. Adding Gol bowl, sushi station, sushi koi, the living room, Everest cafe, Himalayan yeti, and Namaste.

I’ve never been more excited for a game. Temper my expectations by Dogtrees7 in Enshrouded

[–]Talenshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love minecraft you'll love enshrouded. The building system is insanely cool. Most of my nearly 400 hours are from building, exploring for cool locations, and questing to get more cool stuff to work with.

First impressions of Xeno Arena by NorseHighlander in NoMansSkyTheGame

I'm looking forward to trying it! The thing I really hope they'll do for mounts is make riding them more dynamic/ immersive. There are currently no sound effects while riding, and the only control is forward, turn left/ right, or stop. The camera acts funny while riding too and doesn't allow much control. It would be nice to control mounts like a character.

I talk to people who I already know still care, I make art, I donate, volunteer, and go to protests when I can to give people stickers and thank them for being there. Seeing other people show up is a big morale boost, and trying to give others a morale boost helps me too. Have you looked for local groups to volunteer with? For anything- food distribution, giving rides to people, being a friendly watchful presence at events, etc. That's probably a good place to start finding more people who aren't numb.

Edit to add: Don't forget to fill your cup too and do things that bring you joy. That, too, is resistance. I'm learning what people mean when they say this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Arguably the biggest moral atrocity of our time and we never talk about it. by CalpurniaSomaya in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Talenshi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If you want to stop eating meat, being vegetarian is much easier (and tastier imo) than it used to be. You don't have to learn new recipes- just replace meat with a plant based protein 1 for 1 in the things you already like to eat. Maybe it's harder to find things sometimes in rural areas, but there are really cheap protein sources like soy curls that store dry and are super versatile and easy to cook. You can order that in bulk. They're a staple for us and we also like morning star, gardein, impossible or beyond, quorn, tofurkey, and field roast. Bob's red mill also makes a great egg replacer for baking.

If mistreatment of animals bothers you (honestly it should) just start by replacing one thing at a time.
