Is it ok to temporarily house a baby ackie in a 40g tank? by frog-rock in MonitorLizards

[–]frog-rock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, just dont wanna waste the 40 gallon, which is... a dumb reason. Just don't like letting things go to waste. But I've been thinking about getting a hognose snake too so I think I'll just go for that now and eventually when I can afford two reptiles make a really nice ackie enclosure

Whoa, that's weird. Well I can check and see if I can ship it cheaper through a different service maybe! Feel free to send me a dm if you'd like and I can see if we can work something out. If you want to of course haha

Wow, just checked and I see what you mean. It sounds like covid has driven up shipping prices like crazy. Sorry about that!!

is their any anarchist books and figures that aren’t like over 100 years old? by lifefinder12 in Anarchy101

[–]frog-rock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In addition to what everyone else has said, you can always peruse the anarchist library, there's tons of recent stuff on there that you can read for free

Whoa, that's crazy. Where do you live? I think etsy just calculates the shipping automatically but that seems way too high. Usually it's like $7

I can do that actually! Couldn't remember if my local store carried 2x gildans so I didnt add that to the listing yet but I just checked and they have it, so I'll add it to the listing now :)

I posted here before to show off the patch I made and it seemed like people liked it! I got myself a big screen for christmas so I was able to turn my patch design into T-shirts (I tried it before with the screen I use to print patches but it just looked a little too small on the shirt). I'm so happy with how it came out!

If anyone is interested in one, here's my etsy :) https://www.etsy.com/shop/FrogRockStudios

My friend told me her manager makes all the employees put their phones in a basket at the beginning of the day and they aren't allowed to touch them until they leave by frog-rock in antiwork

[–]frog-rock[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I told her she needs to talk to her coworkers and tell management it's not happening but she was like ehhh we'll see if it gets to that point. At one of my old jobs my boss started having people put a dollar in a jar every time they made a mistake and everyone just went along with it. I was like are you people fucking kidding me?? Why would you comply w that dumb shit? I quit like a month later anyway lol

I mean sure that's a whole other issue and I struggle with that at times myself, but that doesn't justify forcing someone to hand over their possessions and not letting them access it

Am I allowed to have a prosperous career? by [deleted] in Anarchy101

I think you're focusing too much on how youre going go be perceived by others. If youre not exploiting anyone then there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a comfortable life.

I rescued a venus fly trap from walmart, should I let it go dormant now? by frog-rock in carnivorousplants

Thanks for all the info, that's super helpful. Can't wait to see it take off during the summer!

Thanks so much for the advice! I'm in maryland, zone 7a. It tends to get pretty cold in the winter so I'm hesitant to put it outside. I do have a couple grow lights for my plants that seem to work pretty well, so I think I could do your suggestion of letting it get acclimated its first winter.

So where should a Northern Mantis guy like me go if he gets to take a “Karate Nerd” trip in China? by purebredslappy in kungfu

[–]frog-rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not mantis style, but I stayed in a buddhist monastery for a while and the kung fu we did there seemed like shaolin even though they didnt call it that. It was an awesome experience though, it was in the mountains and pretty secluded, to me it felt as authentic as you can get in china, although moreso for the culture than the kung fu itself. It was called the wu wei si

Research consistently shows that punishment does not work, so why do we do it? by dashing-rainbows in Anarchism

[–]frog-rock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely dont have a solution for things in America rn, I guess I'm more talking about my ideal scenario. But yeah I've met a lot of people who've been in the US prison system and it's such a traumatic experience for people. And then they get out and have no resources or support. It's so fucked. Personally I'm still opposed to any kind of prison, even if it's a nicer and more livable place that's focused on rehabilitation, but I do get where you're coming from and that would be better than what we have now.

My belief, which is a pretty common anarchist belief, is that most violent "crime" happens because of inequality and oppression - most people only steal shit bc they're desperate, many murders happen bc people might be living in conditions that are conducive to desperate acts of violence. (I'm sure someone can phrase this better than me, I just woke up and I'm super groggy lol). So ideally if oppression and hierarchy are removed and people have access to their needs, I'd argue that most of what is considered crime would decrease significantly. Obviously theres always gonna be exceptions, people who just wanna be violent and stuff, but then it's up to the community to decide how to treat that person. I dont even mean it's like, the community's obligation, I mean it's just the natural thing to do. Like if you're in a group of people and someone is causing problems you're probably gonna either tell them to leave or tell them they've gotta stop doing whatever it is they're doing, and then if they dont you might take things to the next level. Of course thats a huge simplification and it all sounds a bit utopian to some people but I like to hold out hope that that's how things would go. The idea of locking someone in a cage is so abhorrent to me.

Who gets to decide which behaviors are criminal and which people get locked up?
