Apparently in the US the voices are more likely to tell you to do violent things. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263513488_Differences_in_voice-hearing_experiences_of_people_with_psychosis_in_the_USA_India_and_Ghana_Interview-based_study
I wonder though about the step from hearing to acting. Like real people tell me to do stuff and I don’t do it. It shouldn’t be that hard to hear voices and be like “oh you silly, I’m not gonna do that”.
The only serious hack on the list is one of the best ones in life: avoid car use. Find ways to walk, bike or use public transport.
I have met enough very attractive people with terrible opinions that, for me, beauty and desire are largely decoupled. Get to know her first- she might make getting over her very easy.
The number of people suddenly pretending to care about women’s sports is incredible. The number of people who don’t realise that placing these types of requirements would necessitate a system for checking and verifying that would be… horrifying, is incredible.
Make it two clouds and they represent deaths caused by car dependency, about 2 ppl per state per day.
That’s about where the political vocabulary in the US stands. 10 years ago, supposedly educated journalists were calling Bernie Sanders a democratic socialist. When asked about it I wish so hard that he said “no, I’m a social democrat, but for most people that distinction isn’t important right now”, but he leaned into it and here we are.
So the American version should be something like “Jeebus is lord”
Leisure Suit Legolas, Slay the Shire
Sure, but justified or not, the personality behind the policies is very important to most ppl. She was the least popular candidate in the primaries. She ran a presumptuous half-assed victory lap campaign. She ran to the center and proposed nothing new or inspiring. She avoided difficult topics and fumbled when confronted with them. So, her policies were mostly fine (except of course that big one), but people maybe don’t want a non-leader type former cop to spearhead those policies.
Stein… oh wait no, spiel… oops not quite
It’s a Magnus effect sail. It’s the force that makes a spinning ball curve. They’ve made the ball huge (5m diameter) and stretched it into a cylinder. So a crosswind meets the spinning tower and an orthogonal force, forward, is produced. Less fluttery than a sail, but for it to work you need a reliable crosswind. They’ve therefore been installed on ferries which run north-south in the Baltic Sea.
Closest planet to the sun and, on average, closest planet to all the other planets.
Why do our overlords suck so much
And how was it? Worth demonstrating for in front of city council? I imagine someone switching off their car, closing their eyes and just soaking in the sweet satisfaction of having parked there.
At least for the gas this is the start of a better way of thinking about the problem. When I still lived in the US, I heard ppl complain about the price of gas all the time. However, I never heard complaints about our dependency on gas or the economic problem that the cheapest stuff there is per volume felt expensive to buy.
It’s pronounced “Uranus”, not “Uranus”.
I wonder if the most recent people to switch to public transport and cycling were the nicest remaining drivers. Where I live at least, it seems this could be playing a major role.
Once you have independent sporting clubs, they’re going to demand open leagues, and I really don’t know what will happen if USians learn en masse what they’ve been missing there.
