I don’t intend to get kids but my coworkers have them once in a while.

I think you should have some. I don’t think it should be a matter of pride to not take any.

Need more context. Talking to her about it I guess. But if she is above the age of 18 it’s not really any of my business.

I stopped using reddit during the API protests. I refuse to use their app due to ads.

I found lemmy as an alternative mentioned somewhere and decided to try it out. It fulfills the idle sitting on toilet and arguing with strangers on the internet I used reddit for before.

Some reddit communities I was a member of are not active here, but they were not my primary use.

What kind of government? Am I born into a group that benefits from whatever the government is doing?

There is always a group of people that benefits from a government. Authoritarian governments that tends to be much less than the 50% required to win an election.

I am much more likely to support a government that does not see me as a questionable element and potentially an enemy of the state.

Yes, have you never changed?

Cats yes, you can get the “farmer” cats that are happy little accidents of no particular breed. They are not in the stores though. Neither are the purebred cats, which are similar to dog breeders.

Dogs are bought directly from breeders (who almost universally has it a a side hobby) and while not illegal to breed on known hereditary diseases any responsible breeder have various veterinarian’s certificates for (lack of) hereditary issues for the breed and puppies are checked by a vet before delivery.

I may at have at some point. But rules and regulations have probably changed over the years.

Scandinavia.

Can I appear anywhere? Pop into white house or Kremlin during the Cuban missile crisis and say: I’m from the future, you must attack, or… Then travel back to the future without finishing the sentence.

I’m not sure if it would. Travel was awfully slow back then.

Depends on the animal. Fish almost all stores have. Reptiles are common. Maybe rats, mice, hamsters or birds.

Never cats, dogs.

I’m not aware of what the minimum EU regulation is.

You’ll have to put two hours into learning things that would take you one while awake.

Hopefully you’ve not procrastinated until this is your only option

When I was alone: apartment. More economical. Did not want to pay for a lot of space I did not use.

Girlfriend and two dogs later: looking for a house.

Palt. Potato dumping filled with meat.

General consensus is that he is ego driven. He wants to be seen as someone who gets good deals, he even wrote a book on it, and he was talking about tariffs during the election. Either he gets a good deal negotiated with Canada or he fulfills campaign promises. I don’t think he cares which.

I’m sure that you can find a Canadian, Mexican, Chinese or whatever that had smuggled in fetanyl into the US and therefore you can consider it technically true. Not that it matters.

It’s meant to appeal to emotions to support whatever agenda he is trying to push.

He likes media attention and he is very good at manipulating media to talk about things he wants them to talk about.

Auto playing video if I clicked a link that was not indicated beyond any reasonable doubt that it was a video.

Making any sound at all unless instructed to.

Like I described in the last paragraph.

I solve engineering problems for a living.

Step 1. Check all the common problems. Is it the power supply? Measure every node? Check the wires? Everything is as it’s supposed to be yet it does not work. Know every part of how it’s supposed to work.

Step 2. Get up and go for lunch. Thoughts still swirl around in my head as I eat, I sit down with my coffee and usually get one or two more things to try popping into my head.

From what I’ve had described to me it’s the same thing being creative.

1. Sit down and write. The last paragraph does not sound good. Rewrite it, again and again. Still sound bad.

2. Get up and do something else, take a slow walk or something and see if you get some ideas.

Countryside, as far away as possible while still having a reliable internet connection

Sleep is like it’s always been. Tired in the morning and awake in the evening. The lack of daylight in the winter is getting worse and worse the older I get.

Other than that quite good and slowly getting better.
