It’s giving big “freedom fries” energy. Makes sense when you think about how much of a wet dream the post-9/11 circle jerk was (is) for conservatives. They’re trying to recreate the same 2002 Republican, plastic-patriot distraction machine again.

I love the sky light windows!

I’m still excited then because I’d love a more versatile hot glue.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I’ve been using the gel gorilla glue version of super glue for a few years and I haven’t had any that dried out (yet).

I like the taste of the fun dip sticks and the taste of candy cigarettes from when I was a kid :c

Oh no, I might be a beige millennial. Help.

Some instances have automod for certain words. OP was just trying to post without getting caught in the filters. Be angry at the instances, not the OP.

You know, the news about Chinese and American users comparing their worldviews seemed weird to me because it reads like this is the first time Chinese and American users have interacted and had the chance to talk “candidly”.

My first thought was, “Why the fuck is this news? It’s not like Chinese users can’t interact on American platfor—”

…oh. Right. The great firewall.

Don’t forget the Big Mac index, apropos the incoming administration.

Getting my financial situation shifted to risk adverse and saving as much as I can.

I’m from “you guys” but I’ve lived in “y’all” and now I’m forever team “y’all,” regardless of where I’m living.

It’s the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.

You’ll let us know if they’re hiring, right? Right!?

Is she a ghost?

“Hi honey, how was your day?”

“Terrible. I accidentally became a falconer and you know how hard I’ve been trying to avoid falconry recently. I thought I was safe.”

If I have to see a thousand posts about Trump listening to music at a rally for thirty minutes or Elon’s stupid taxi, then goddamn it, I can enjoy watching a somewhat progressive up-and-comer and a midwestern treasure be humans for five minutes.

If you don’t like any of the above, you’re in for a shock if you want to follow literally any news feed.

This is adorable. I love his commentary.

You’re right about the leather processing. I didn’t consider that.

I heard there’s a new mushroom-based leather alternative that will hopefully get traction.

I’ll say many cities have a club that rents out supplies or even has club hives you can use to get started. Also, I don’t live in a huge city and I’ve seen used hives and frames for sale more than I thought I would, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for those as well.

Yeah wtf. Seeing Dubai as the ultimate utopia is so weird.

Here’s my weird question: if faux leather is plastic and someone is vegan for environmental reasons, would leather be preferable? What if it’s a byproduct and would otherwise be trashed? These are things I think about as someone who tries to reduce my impact on the environment as much as I feasibly can in a capitalist society.

I feel so kindred with the way you see things. You’re making an observation and you’re curious about the “why” of everything. I feel people often read my similar interest in a subculture as critical. Kind of like how bluntness can be perceived as rude, I guess. Do you ever have a similar response happen to you?
