My one coworker at my old company claimed that Europe was banning people from growing their own food in their own gardens, and that the fires in Western Canada last year were caused by women firefighters in a diversity firefighting group that can't do that job because they're women and accidentally let a blaze out of control.

It was probably more than just one kid being rowdy and that was just the last straw. Could be just a shitty teacher though.

I have a hard barrier around expressing anything like that, online or off. The inherent hetero power dynamics make it creepy even if it's not a sexual impulse.

My friend turned to me after we watched that and said, "was that the most reddit movie ever made?"
The horniness was whatever. Bill fucking Hader as "Chief Firewater" pissed me off to no end.

The mental clarity you get at the 60-day mark of nopiss is like nothing I've ever experienced before.

The real answer for a black bear is make yourself look as big as possible, back away slowly, and tell it to fuck off in a deep voice. If it charges you it's hopefully feinting, but if not whack it right in the snout with whatever you have.

Premade chili, or a thick lentil curry, will be your best bet if you're doing anything active on this camping trip. Cook it ahead of time, throw it in the cooler, and heat it up. You may want to add a grain if you don't want to do rice before or after on the same burner (minute rice will be easy though).
I personally love to dehydrate the above but that tends to be for backcountry canoe camping and hiking, where weight and volume matter a lot.

There are ways to hide your power level but you have to be very accomodating, not get heated, and figure out what direction to guide someone to get them started questioning the dominant narrative, instead of going debate bro mode. People want to be listened to and respected, and will remember your tone, affect, and willingness to treat them like a person far more than they will your points 90% of the time.

It means you have to tread carefully when organizing, and that it's important not to be callous about hardship.

If your position is, "bring on the US collapse; maybe it'll ease the boot off the Palestinians' necks," all I can say is that I hope you're right and I hope you're prepared.
If your position is, "bring on the US collapse; I mean how much worse can it actually get?" you probably have no clue what you're talking about unless you've personally spent time in a war zone or lived through Katrina or something like that.
One of the things that struck me while studying the Russian revolution is just how much of an academic relationship we communists have to major periods of historical change. From our position it's way easier to imagine ourselves in the room with Lenin trying to make a tough decision on agricultural policy than it is to imagine stretching your food store through a region-wide famine and crop failure, or watching your family all catch cholera, or getting shot by the white army...

A radical anti-porn activist, upset at his affair with Stormy Daniels, who was completely juiced up on a 93-day nofap streak.
That or a YIMBY who felt betrayed that a developer president never deregulated zoning via executive order.

I really do sincerely appreciate this sentiment, especially as a vegan, but I'm always curious about the ecological environment it can exist in. It's practically impossible to spend time in the Canadian wilderness in the spring or summer without murdering a few mosquitoes, ticks, horseflies, blackflies, deerflies, etc.

It's hard when you're not American and at least two of the categories are references to American media, places, or lingo.

Not really a movement, but what I've noticed is that within liberal religious traditions that have a bit of a history of social justice and mutual aid, the younger generations (who are mostly not active churchgoers at this point) have taken very kindly to radical literature and ideas.
Inspired by a subthread in the post on sci-fi and fantasy tropes. A few books I've liked: ***Iron Widow***: a YA novel set in a fantasy version of medieval China. The main character has more than one love interest and from what I remember has a nice little spiel about resisting the social pressure to choose. I won't give any spoilers where it goes but I'm looking forward to the sequel this year. ***Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night***: a cute little winter soltice tale about two metamours that begrudgingly team up to go rescue their respective partner from a magical realm. ***The Giddy Death of Gays and the Strange Demise of Straights***: a bit of a chaotic story with a whirlwind cast of characters trying to make sense of all the heterodox ways that they love each other, amid a rising homophobic backlash. This one is a little rough around the edges as I believe it's self-published but has great showcasing of some unique kinds of connection. Set in Wales. As for movies I haven't seen many, but *Professor Marston and the Wonder Women* is very cute, despite falling into some thruple tropes. *Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice* gets a shoutout for being a very well-made, early (1960’s) take on sexually open relationships. What have you enjoyed?

Wanna send me the epub? I'd love to put this on my reading list.
I made it 546 kilometres in 19 days, with ~350 left to go. Idk if my water filter failed or there was a hygiene slipup, but I woke up Thursday feeling super fatigued and that quickly slipped into beaver fever symptoms (or some kind of infection/parasite). Now I've spent the last few days recovering on the couch and picking up reading again. Still feels like a big achievement, but I had a bit of a short time window to finish the trail. Now I'll probably be too busy for the rest of the warmer season and have to wait until next year. ![sadness](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F3de7432c-5d0b-441d-9167-0c61cc3838ab.png "emoji sadness")
I mean something like marketplace or kijiji, but not necessarily monetary. It's probably a ridiculous question but I'm curious if anybody's been exploring this space.
It's definitely an uncomfortable and painful show for 95% of the screen time, but I couldn't help but love the writing, acting, cinematography, soundtrack and pretty much everything else. I really wasn't sure how much I liked the finale and it's particular kind of left turn (don't spoil it) but now that I'm about a week out from seeing it I think it's an incredibly strong finish. I'm curious what anyone else thought of it.
Hey folks, just a heads up that I'm going down for some scheduled maintenance and repair in four hours (03:00 UTC). I'm not a very regular poster or commenter, so this shouldn't affect any of you that much. I expect to be back up and running with some performance improvements within about an hour. Thanks for your patience and mods feel free to pin this post.
10/10 would not recommend because it's dangerous and irresponsible, but boy that was a hell of a ride. All I want for Christmas is more trains of every kind ![FrogPog](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/83763250-b73e-44d4-9eb5-05bc7e781de1.png "emoji FrogPog")

I just watched it last night. I thought it was a pretty incredible film conceptually and visually. I can also understand its purchase in the West, as I feel like it glorifies pre-USSR imperial Russia, and there are only thin references to anything in the 20th century (the most notable and darkly trippy of these being the soldier digging his own grave during the siege of Leningrad).
