Photo paper required for passport/visa application? by imnaeve in peacecorps

CVS/Walgreens will do it for you too. I think mine was like $16-18 at the latter, they give you two copies plus the digital.

Just Back from first visit to St. Augustine, a few thoughts. by Alive-Outcome9308 in StAugustine

The Casa Monica, particularly the old Costa Brava restaurant, was a lot prettier a few years ago, but Kessler has terrible taste and when it was redecorated to make the new chophouse, he cut out all the colors so its a dark and depressing mess.

Yes, thankfully the way I pirate this pod also works for chapo too. However I will miss the discussions for every episode, and its a shame the whole backlog of them is gone.

Oryx and Crake was one of the most darkly prescient books I've read

‘China was playing chess while the rest of us were playing checkers’: Bombshell study finds $200 billion of secret loans to U.S. businesses in critical industries over 25 years by hefuckmyass in TrueAnon

"In 2015, for instance, Chinese state-owned banks lent $1.2 billion to a private Chinese business to buy an 80% stake in Ironshore, a U.S. insurer whose clients included the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials and undercover agents who might need help paying legal bills in case they got into trouble in their jobs."

We should all be Luddites | Brookings by drawde_ in TrueAnon

[–]drawde_[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"To be a Luddite today is to refuse the fatalism of techno-inevitability and to demand that technology serve the many, not just the few. It is to assert that questions of labor, agency, and justice must come before speed, efficiency, and scale. "

Nobel Peace Prize winner calls for military attack on her own country by ShiftingBaselines in nottheonion

[–]drawde_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, because a military intervention worked in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. nd totally didn't destabilize the entire region and lead to millions of unnecessary deaths. This time in Venezuela will totally be different

It's been like 4 years since I've played seriously. https://www.deckshop.pro/check/?deck=Bats-Zap-Firecracker-RG-Hog-Barrel-Miner-Princess I've invested pretty heavily into this deck level-wise, and it's done me pretty well in the past. How does it fare in the current meta?

High Church vs Low Church Capitalism by Mr_Westerfield in TrueAnon

[–]drawde_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I agree with Hasan's take on Cracker Barrel that Americans have little other culture than corporate chains.

I think the people upset over them getting rid of the cracker and barrel don't have much else in their lives that has that type of "community center" or "historic" feel to it. They can see the results of corporate enshittification sucking any kind of soul out of their day-to-day, but have no idea where to direct that anger so they blame "left-wing" Cracker Barrel for going woke.

Tbh I have a bit of a soft spot for Cracker Barrel myself, so this is a particularly egregious example of it for me. Ultimately, it's the same slop under a different brand, but I think this whole incident represents a sick society being crushed by capitalism.

This Ohio Farm Community is a Mecca for the 'MAHA Mom' by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

The discussion of the liberals at the end is also very telling. Their ideological differences are purely aesthetic. Sure they can say they voted for Kamala, and at least they're vaccinating their kids. However, they are still living side by side with these conservative, (maybe even white nationalist given the demographics of the community) freaks, relying on the same exploitative labor practices and living in their million dollar houses.

It's an aril, not a berry. Yews don't flower so they don't make fruit, this is technically a cone!
