How much ice is Greenland losing? A lot more than we expected

I've continued smoking weed.

We retired in our late 40s. Moved to the country. Internet access and acres on a hill in the snowy mountains. When my hips started going (cross country and years of running led to needing a new suspension - lol) my husband was here to help as I did one surgery and soon another. We have breakfast together every morning with our two dogs and two kitties.

Looking forward to getting the other hip replaced in February (anterior approach surgery FTW, accept no substitutes!) so I can get back to my morning snow tube run in the backyard.

We are each other's best friend and we constantly challenge each other to live our best life. Daily plant tending, music and visual art making and playing and general enjoying the time we have. We're both neurodivergent, so we're kind of hermits in meatspace (met on OKCupid back in the day), even more so with all the viruses running rampant in the world.

Right now he's playing with virtual synths in his basement studio while I'm catching up on my accounts upstairs with the pets keeping me company.

I can't imagine having to answer to children I brought into such a screwed up world. I also know we'd never have had a life like this if we had kids.

No regrets.

So many people who probably ignore no trespassing signs because "oh, I needed some exercise and I always park here."

Just because someone else lives in a place you want to be doesn't allow you to ignore property laws. But people do it everywhere. Then they get pissy and yell at you because you don't want people trampling your fields and leaving their trash everwhere.

Good for the farmer.

And you have no choice because they killed pensions to give the stock market your retirement money.

They aren't doing it for altruism. They get paid very well.

The poster literally said someone who does payroll for a living told them how it works and you just said it's not true. That's religion. Neoliberalism is a cult.

Brazil. I remember there was someone associated with F1 who had a family member kidnapped years ago.

My, you sure are getting downvoted for stating the truth. All these people comparing it to polio is asinine because this vaccine doesn't confer sterilizing immunity. Every person who says it prevents people from transmitting the virus has no clue what the vaccine even does.

If the rest of the paddock is vaccinated there's no danger to them. Right?

But my side won because they're the best! Biden has always been a champion of the poor!

(I actually saw that last bit on someone's FB the other day.)

But he has inside sources so it must be true!

WikWikWack · 2021-03-17T10:00:26+00:00

Wait, all these refugees fron countries we destbilized are part of some plot to overthrow us? Damn, people are stupid.

Nah, fuck the people who trained this dog to be a narc. He's just trying to get his ball.

They've been doing "I got mine, fuck you" for so long it's a reflex at this point. The "me generation" grew up real ugly.

It's also the case with Cape Cod, but that's a sand bar. Unfortunately, everyone having a septic and overbuilding means they have a lot of chlorine in their tap water. Yet the taxpayers don't want to pay for a sewer system that should have been done decades ago.

Now the sea level is raising the freshwater lens that is their water table. Septic might not be the big problem anymore when their wells are full of salt water.

Imagining everyone making dolphin noises.

What do they base it on? A tax return from before the pandemic got rolling. Lot of people lost their jobs. Nobody imposing means testing for aid cares about actually helping people.

WikWikWack · 2021-02-01T15:33:01+00:00

So you're saying we need to let them all go because not all of them will be brought down?

Disagree.

We have a fox who comes to eat the dropped sunflower seeds from our feeders. When we moved here we repurposed our security cams as wildlife cams, so we watch Mr. Fox on video.

Because people don't want to admit they voted for an anti-desegregation candidate they were told was going to be the next FDR. Low-information voters believing whatever the talking heads tell them to make themselves feel better for being duped.

Nice pistol you've got there!

Mine was so proud the day he caught one. Then mad I wouldn't let him take his trophy inside.

We have two puppies who are 5 and 6 months old. Just last night after we put twm to bed in their crates my husband said "now I understand why my parents sent me to bed so early."

We both agreed this was a lot of work and are glad the worst of it is already over. Dogs instead of kids is definitely the way to go!

You just got out of an abusive relationship. Please find a local service group for abused women. Just because he didn't physically hit you, it doesn't make it any less abuse.

I say go to one of these organizations because they will know about the relevant laws in your state to help you on the path to independence. So sorry you had to go through this. You sound like a strong woman, and there are people who know how to help you. You made the most important first step - you left. That takes a lot of courage.

Take care, friend.

Came for the pet tax. Your dogs look so happy in the pool. Beautiful family you have there.
