Production caps, energy expenditure caps, more efficient redistribution systems. Basically “produce what we need and then stop.” Redirect energy from acquiring more resources to developing intellectual thought and artistic talent.

I couldn’t sleep from 3:30-5 last night. Coughing and blowing my nose. Interview this morning. Didn’t do my readings for yesterday or today. Don’t really want to be existing right now.

It’s worse in real life, because it’s personal. You will experience the absolute depth of human cruelty from the people you love the most.

It already gets political ?s even though it’s not supposed to. Taking out the rule just encourages even MORE of them.

I made the local paper when I was 8 years old. It was a cute little picture of me fixing my friend’s hair band before our may crowning. That was it.

Threads. It’s better if you want a normal social media experience (which I realize a lot of people on lemmy do not).

There are some things that are just wrong regardless of your income bracket. Eg. Let’s say your parents give your brother a vacation to Bali for his 16th birthday and they make you stay home by yourself. Even if somebody’s parents could never afford to go to Bali, they’d still empathize that the exclusion you experienced was wrong. Whereas complaining that your dream wedding gown designer was booked so you have to get your 2nd favorite is rich person problems territory.

my year is pretty up in the air at this point. I have a birthday vacation scheduled but I probably will cancel/won’t be able to afford it.

That’s been a thing since the beginning of the cards being implemented. In the US they’ve tried to make it illegal, but like, economics doesn’t work that way. The store owner needs to make a profit, so the fee is going to the customer.

You should probably seek out some therapy to learn to make friends, because at your age it will not happen unless you make it happen.

Sir that is a literal child growing into an adult. Your facial feature change between adolescence and adulthood.

this actually did show me slightly better results, although the results were nowhere near a slam dunk.

really you don’t. you read forum posts and try to guess to what degree the information is credible.

There’s no real reason to be optimistic about a revolution, but there is reason to be optimistic that you’ll be able to fight for your basic right to vote.

In my state, you lose gun rights automatically if you’ve ever been hospitalized for a mental health issue. Even if you’re released and declared healthy.

If I’m less under the weather, I’m going to be cleaning the apartment for a guest on Sunday. or I’ll be in bed all day. we’ll find out.

in college, a group of sorority girls ran up on this guy’s motorcycle and started doing an impromptu pin up girl style photoshoot on it. for the finale she spread her legs out. then they ran off. this was in public.

You paid your tax benefits before and you’ll pay them for the rest of your life. Get what you paid for.

So we have specific polling locations we have to vote at, and in my state there’s literally a book with a list of names of everyone who will vote that day. They mark the book as you come in. So, if I vote first, the other person will be immediately caught. If the other person votes first, then it will get complicated and depend on your local rules. I would guess I will have to show ID, talk to police, and do a special ballot, but they don’t really make these procedures public. Because voting fraud is extraordinarily rare. Also the person would need to go to the correct polling location, which there are dozens of in my city. The odds of a scammer doing that correctly are low.
