I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.
In high school, I was pro-death penalty. As part of a class on politics, I was randomly assigned the anti-death penalty position to research and debate on. I very quickly changed my opinion when I learned about the systemic racism involved. Now I’m an anarchist

I used to be anti-death. Now I am in the pro-death camp. This is because if a 2nd American War is concluded, we will be left with many living MAGA in our prisons. Do we really want to house members of ICE in our prisons for life, or allow them to once again walk the streets they terrorized? Members of the Trump Regime willfully given up their humanity in all the ways.
I cannot help but feel that executing them all will allow us to allocate more resources towards the people who matter: children, immigrants, and others who still have their humanity.
I feel that but also recoginize the inherent dark irony.

Conveniently they’ve been building tons of prisons that could be put to use for this
Don’t worry, when you graduate high school you’ll drop the anarchist bit, too.
Because grown ups are capitalists ?
oh look, it’s someone who doesn’t know what anarchism is
I know what anarchism is and I think it a utopian thought experiment.
Like every single political ideology you rube

It was never communism that was wrong, it was the dictatorships.
The good folks in Cuba seem to be doing quite well despite their economy being oppressed by the US and most of the rest of the western world. But living on the edge of the former Soviet Union, few remember it fondly. To be clear, they do remember the good bits fondly (such as a lack of planned obsolescence in products, or the fact that you could live in a village of 50 people and the buses would still come multiple times a day), just not the whole dictatorship aspect.
For a few more decades, we can’t try communism here because older people still remember the soviet regime. One day, perhaps we can try again without having a foreign oppressor force it upon us.

I used to joke about eating two animals for every one a vegetarian didn’t eat. I’ve been vegan for over a decade now, pulled a bit of an uno reverse in my early twenties.
Oh great. Now I gotta eat four animals. I’m never gonna finish lunch.
You can switch to crickets, I think that’s your best murder per Kg ratio.
Go to Wendy’s and get a 4 for $4 add bacon. bacon cheeseburger, nuggets and fries. That counds as three.
From what animal are fries made?
IIRC some restaurants were flavoring their oil with horse tallow.
That’s a fair point.
Used to be an apple fanboy, use reddit, use Instagram; now I use linux, grapheneos, Lemmy, and, self host
Jeffrey Sachs is a cool smart and good guy. He gets how things work and wants things to go well for people.
Forks with ice cream. Seemed stupid, tried it out, converted.
How does that work with the melted part?
Can’t say it’s a problem I encounter, but I might opt for one of them double wall bowls that you can freeze to prevent the melting altogether.
I already have bowls. And spoons.
Right, well I wasn’t trying to convince you to switch only answering the question. Enjoy what you have as it please you.
To be fair, “buy more equipment” is not a great answer.
That’s how you interpreted my comment? Perhaps it was my use of ‘you’ whereas I may have written ‘a person’? It was meant more as a royal you than a specific you.
I didn’t suggest anyone ‘buy more equipment’. I answered that I would use a funny bowl.
Good luck on your future endeavors.
