some suggest that herders need to start acquiring private land and operating like other businesses

Yes, why don’t these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?

Let them eat cake.

All I can think of while seeing “Oklahoma city” is “oh… Shit…”

So much stuff is going to die around here simply because it can’t live in Oklahoma’s climate.

Certain trees have started dying en-masse around me because they were already at their upper tolerance for temperatures and water.

Luckily the internet exists and allows you to see present day conditions without going to the place yourself!

It didn’t help ME with chronic pain, but it does help my wife with her fibromyalgia.

I’d wager if you are up in weight, and chronic pain is in any of your weight supporting areas (hips, knees, ankles, lower back, etc) then chances are your pain could be weight related.

My parents are 100% weight related issues, and when I was trying to lose weight in 2013-2015 I tried to get them to do light stuff with me. Walk around the trees behind the house a few times. A couple light calisthenics. Ride some shitty cheap bikes around the park.

Since then their knees, hips, and ankles are their biggest complaints.

My dude I appreciate you, but I spent years doing all kinds of exercise from yoga to iron man segments and not one has been enjoyable.

Man, seeing a ton of people all experiencing great returns on their hard work just makes me feel even worse for never experiencing any of it beyond the weight loss itself. For literal years. No good feelings, no endorphins, even some of my joints felt worse simply because they were being used more.

And now the exact same thing two days in a row!

Its great. I’m fine. This is fine. I’m not jealous or spiteful at all. Have fun working out for me I guess.

I would bet that you’re all guys

Weirdly sexist take…

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

Lol OK bye.

Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.

“The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems customers slip through your fingers.”

Me, a few minutes ago: “is it Mythbusters? I bet it’s Mythbusters. Mythbusters did this once.”

it’s not mythbusters

clicks play to enjoy a new thing

Ooooohhhhh fuck yeah that’s the stuff.

Thanks for the dopamine hit.

Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren’t what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.

Cool, I can burn it to ash with the tools in my garage.

Diamonds are shiny/glittery and hard, that’s about it.

In the same vein, “Holy shit, that WORKED?”

I always confront those people with “and what do you think would happen to YOU in such a place? History doesn’t think it will be good” but then they double down or make some mental gymnastic leap to why it’s okay.

Surely the leopards won’t eat THEIR face.

If all the joint chiefs and secretaries of [thing] said “we will be marching in Ottowa in 3 days” it really doesn’t matter if the president said it. Because even if he hasn’t said it in a press conference to the world, he most certainly agrees with the people who DO think it’s a slam dunk.

I’m sure anything you said or linked would have been met with “that’s western propaganda” like they’re not shaking hands with MAGAts screeching fake news at things they don’t like.

My old work ordered everything from uline, and I started bringing in my own TP specifically because of how awful it is to use that tissue paper.

Legitimately feels like tissue paper that people stuff gift bags with.

But at the same time, almost slippery.

And you WILL know if you creased the paper the wrong way, because it WILL stab at you with the force of ten thousand teeny tiny needles.

Honestly, I didn’t question that just because I’ve heard flat-earthers talk about the “ice wall”, so I just assumed it really was from a FE forum or something.

But hey, new world map for a tabletop!

But for a time, a few shareholders got super rich! So totally great tradeoff, 100% worth it.

Lol at least she just thinks they’re pretty instead of thinking it’ll balance her energies.

No, because large weddings are a waste of money and stress, neither of which I make enough money to afford.
