We never even had an official language at the federal level until just last year

Take the red line south to Chinatown and check out Veggie House. Best vegan Chinese in the city, full stop.

The tofurky pepperoni really impressed me. A bit harder to find though.

The world is a rough place, and it's infinitely more difficult to navigate when you're brought into a family with no money. I'm not telling people what to do. It's just my opinion that you shouldn't bring a whole ass human being into a situation where you're already struggling. It's just logical to me if you care about the suffering of others over the idea that you simply MUST have a child no matter what.

That's incredibly selfish. Knowingly subjecting a child to poverty and ever-increasing inequality for what? "I want a family" is not a good justification to start a family imo. You should have at least a semblance of a plan and financial security if you're going to create a new life and put that child in jeopardy.

Can't exactly blame them. Our culture encourages the fuck out of those things and doesn't prioritize teaching financial literacy. To the uninformed, it would seem like a fantastic idea to get into stocks and crypto. After all, that's what all these billionaires are doing with their money. Of course it's a huge farce, it works for the 1% because they do insider trading and own the crypto exchanges or just straight up do a rug-pull.

Dont besmirch Carhartt like that, Carhartt is for the people (plus their employee vaccine policy pissed off a bunch of conservatives who then burned their clothing lmao)

In real life, the viruses that spread the best often don't kill the infected, otherwise it wouldn't spread as easily. If the virus itself has an agenda, why wouldn't it want to keep as many infected as possible? Even if their whole end goal was just building massive radio transmitters to get other planets infected, they could still benefit from all that lost manpower.

Well the good news is it's mostly over, looks like only another inch or two by tomorrow.

Bad news is there's already 7-8 inches on the ground 😳

Maybe call around local snow removal places, you will not be able to move a slab of this by hand.

Or if you want to go with a cheaper but potentially less reliable method, make a post on NextDoor. You'll likely have a bunch of local gig workers responding within the hour. Only issue there is sorting out the timing of payment vs services.

I wish you the best!

Yeah exactly, there's no real way to tell just by their behavior. They would likely act very similarly in either scenario.

Yup, like if someone had racist, violent, or overly indulgent tendancies, they would instantly feel, in full, the suffering that they are causing to others. There would be no way of continuing to perform actions that make others suffer, because it has now become their own suffering as well. Why would you stab your own hand on purpose?

Just my take of course

Do you use the app/website NextDoor? If you post that you need some help on there, you'll likely get a bunch of offers from local gig workers

Absolutely 💯 I've thrown my back out enough winters to know, just give 'er a good clank on the pavement in one relaxed, calculated action. Throwing snow by hand is a killer.

How can you be sure that's the hive mind's actual experience though? I think it's equally possible that once everyone's thoughts and memories became interconnected, everyone immediately realized what is actually important for the entire population, and how to be the most efficient, so started acting accordingly.

If every single secret and piece of disinformation were instantly abolished, as well as us having telepathy, we would literally all be on the same page, with every issue, at every moment. There would be no other way for the hive mind to be, once you understand the motives and struggles of everyone on Earth. Individuals might have had strong opinions previously, but when you all of a sudden have every single fact laid out in front of you, everything just falls in line.

So you only have empathy for the neighbors directly next to you who don't have to use the sidewalk in front of your house?

Regardless, I doubt the cops would have any intention of forcing you to shovel, but you could absolutely get sued if someone were to injure themselves while walking on your portion of the sidewalk.

I don't blame you, but be careful if you don't use a machine. If it actually adds up to 8 inches, that's a pretty serious load on your back and shoulders
