What the cinnamon toast fuck is this? I'd tag it as a public art installation and tag the crossing separately as unmarked.

As the saying goes, "graphene can do anything except leave the lab"

Am I misreading this, or is there something about lust that's specifically ADHD?

I think this is a really interesting take. Communism doesn't mean taking a vow of poverty or being a good person, but I can see how it would seem hypocritical to not spend that money funding support for labor rather than hoarding it.

It's probably worth exploring why people over 14 listen to his music and his politics. One interesting reason is people who resonate with the emotional core of the music, but disagree or don't understand his politics. Another is people who genuinely feel that violence may be necessary to bring about communism. Additionally, some people feel catharsis listening to violent music/media without supporting violence.

I think it's worthwhile to empathize with people you disagree with. It can help better understand their viewpoint and solidify yours by contrast.

I'm curious, do you have any recommendations for music made by leftists who aren't rich and don't support violence? It's ok if not, I'm just interested in expanding my listening.

Yeah, I started meds for this and it just... Turned off. Not much else happened and it was like I had taken off a heavy backpack I didn't know I was wearing.

Unciv is so good

Some version of this concept has floated (pun intended) around for a while. Thing is that plastics are an energy dense "food source" and once something evolves a way to metabolize it they'll have a huge advantage.

It's like how glyphosate tolerance has appeared in weed plants already. Evolution is always looking for an angle.

I have, and I actually got this fancy Japanese manual solder sucker with a silicone nib. It's pretty fantastic for most things, but the analog stick is still stuck. I may try again some day, but I learned long ago that frustration and electronics projects don't mix.

His response is absolutely not an appropriate response for an equal partner to make, and he knows it and knows you didn't do it to "make him feel guilty." He feels bad and so he wants you to feel bad, and that's just not how adults deal with their feelings. I feel close to this because I could see myself slipping into being like this person if I weren't devoted to being an equal partner.

If he wants to be an equal partner, he needs to own up to his mistakes, acknowledge the emotional labor you're doing, and come up with accommodations for his shortcomings. You have tried to accommodate for him, and that's just taking on more emotional labor without any payoff. You're not his mother, your his spouse, you shouldn't have to tell him what, when, and how to take care of these things. He may need accommodations, and he can ask for help, but you can't accommodate for him.

That said, my spouse and I both struggle with ADHD and one way we've accommodated our shortcomings is we have a stamp sheet which we fill out every week with cute stamps depending on who completed the task (mine is a penguin). It's taken a lot of the emotional labor off of both of us, and shows what we need to do or if we're done for the week and can relax. I'm not saying that solution will help in your case, but recognizing he has a problem, needs accommodations which may involve the whole household is the second step he needs to take. The first, of course, being that he needs to stop trying to make you feel bad because he feels bad. He's gotta cut that shit out.

Oh jeez, the security nightmares I've seen here keep me up at night. You're doing good work, fixing what you could from the inside of where you worked.

...now? I feel like climate has been the "old reliable" culture war issue when climate denialists need to generate buzz on a slow news day going back at least 20 years.
