I don’t go anywhere and it’s probably killing me slowly thru vices. I don’t see a better option tho.

I made it one episode. Extremely well done show about a tragically terrible flaw of American society that frustrates me daily. Didn’t need a reminder of how terrible things are.

It kind of is and kind of isn’t. I’m guessing you don’t have kids. You have to pick your battles. Every disagreement or lesson or whatever takes energy. You only get so much per day. Some kids need more energy from you than others.

That said, regarding your original question, mine don’t stream on YouTube and I can’t imagine why a parent would. That is a battle I would pick. They don’t even have computer web cams. (their phones do, but our rule is you can’t have them on when other people are around unless they okay it.)

I acknowledge it. I preface my post with something, usually /rezz or I’ll comment “I know this is old but…”

It’s a good concern, but it’s not a “right-now” problem. It shouldn’t stop you from doing your thing, until it’s a real problem. It’s not urgent. When it becomes a problem, you likely will have more resources to solve it.

On fragrange, zerowaste and sustainability.

/r/soapmaking might have some advice. There is a lemmy equivalent [email protected] but it doesn’t look very active.

The post got deleted by mods in a manner of minutes.

I’ve always struggled with Reddit’s arcane rules. I rarely know why my stuff is deleted. shrugs I don’t really post there anymore, just lurk.

are toxic to aquatic life when poured down the drain

When they’re used in cleaning concentrations, are they that harmful? I see commercial products with them, so they can’t be super terrible. Drain water still has to go thru municipal water systems before it’s released back into nature.

The dose makes the poison. Anything in high enough concentrations causes problems. Essential oils are distilled from the plant and SUPER concentrated.

IP? Do you mean imaginary property? If so, I agree. I think that ideas and culture should be shared. I understand the stated goal (protect individual inventors from being exploited by huge corporations) but that’s not how it’s played out. It’s used as a tool of control by powerful companies to stifle innovation. Ask any 3d printer hobbyist if they like stratysus. (I effing hate them) there should be some mechanism to protect inventors but this isn’t it.

Books. Multiple.

The Practice Effect by David Brin. It’s an isekai (it’s not anime, but it’s an isekai) where things get MORE useful when you use them, reversing entropy.

Sentenced to Prism. MC is sent on a mission to a world inhabited by silicate based life forms. Shenanigans ensue. Mildly autistic coded MC.

Resurrection Inc. The dead are resurrected as mindless zombie robots. Sometimes it goes wrong and the dead regain their memories. The MC does. Hijinks ensue.

edit - more

Mistborn Chronicles - an orphan gets super powers in a very messed up world. A group recruits her for a heist.

Lemmy more. The default comment sorting means there’s a chance that my comment will be at the top and therefore discussion can happen. On reddit, past a certain amount of comments, I don’t bother. No one will see it.

I still remember when blizzard made guitar hero bard class. The community loved it and wanted it to be real.

Tell my grandfather to get his heart checked out. He died too young. I’d love to see just how much sense he’d beat into my father, who is a complete garbage can of a person.

The factory must grow

The “work yourself to death” is a stupid boomer concept. It’s a hugely negative aspect of traditional masculinity.

When people say weird stuff like this, I always question why. Why would you have a kid and then work so hard to be away from it? Why would you work for a company that will lay you off the moment it earns them a higher stock price to do so? (no modern company deserves your loyalty.) Why would you brag about suffering instead of relaxing?

I understand that we’re all wired differently but those values literally don’t make sense to me.

This is an ml community. Anything that praises the USA or normalizes it (that is, reducing the awfulness) is gonna get down votes.

This is my life story. Every day, I understand more and get closer to “old man lives alone with his dog in the woods”

Oooh this may be it. I’ve been told before that I do this. (the first paragraph)

If Bob feels wronged somehow take him out for a drink or dinner or so

I don’t think Bob is ever gonna return my calls, heh.

It does sound like maybe buying Bob a beer

lol, I don’t think Bob is ever gonna talk to me again.
