Certainly shouldn't drink cow's milk but you can get cat milk that doesn't have lactose.

Aggravationstation ,

Can you milk me, Greg?

I can't remember where my parents visited in Spain but it has an Easter celebration where some of the locals wear capirotes and carry torches. They bought a fridge magnet from there of a little guy in the outfit with a torch which they've had to explain to a few people over the years.

Aggravationstation ,

Very US centric reporting here.

Aggravationstation ,

Not true. I hate them both for this and a litany of other reasons. Holding back humanity's development and being the chief cause of e-waste are at the top of the pile.

Aggravationstation ,

I have a very similar opinion of him currently

"Short-term thinking has been the fatal tendency of the Conservative governments to which Britain has been subjected since 2010..."

Pretty sure short term thinking has been the problem with all Conservative governments in living memory. They treat the country like a crooked CEO treats a business. Get in, strip and sell as many assets as possible, make as much money for yourself as you can, get out whilst it all crumbles behind you. Who gives a fuck if it ruins the lives of all the little people? They were lucky to have your amazing leadership in the first place and they just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, never mind that those bootstraps are now in your pocket.

A prime example is Thatcher's government and their "right to buy" scheme that decimated council housing stock and is still causing housing problems to this day.

Tobacco, alcohol, processed foods and fossil fuels ‘kill 2.7m a year in Europe’ ( www.theguardian.com )

Tobacco, alcohol, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and fossil fuels kill 2.7 million people a year in Europe, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which has called on governments to impose tougher regulation of health-harming products....

Make these things illegal and legalise weed to give people something other than them to do.

Aggravationstation ,

Was more of a joke but weed is less harmful than all of these items (as long as you vape or eat it).

Aggravationstation ,

Exactly. I'm not worried though. There are so many alternatives these days.

Aggravationstation ,

Mostly more of what I do in my free time now. Mess around trying to make music, watch TV and movies, play video games, read, watch live music, go on hikes and spend time with my family.

I don't understand the people who say they'd be bored if they didn't work. I have more than enough media alone to keep me busy, never mind the amount of things I could pick up or at least try in the extra time. Maybe I'd learn to code and contribute to some open source projects.

The difference would be it would all be on my own terms and truly at my own leisure.

Aggravationstation ,

Yea exactly. This is more evidence that we don't need the threat of starvation and homelessness in order to be productive.

I use a Braun series 9 on my head, at most every other day but often leave it for 3 or 4 days. I also use a safety razor with just hot water to cut a straight line at the top of my sideburns.

I've used a safety razor on both my head and face. I found the best way to get a really close shave was to tense the skin to get it as flat as possible in patches then shave that. Do a first pass with shaving butter and then go over it again with just hot water in slow long strokes until you feel your skin smoothen.

I have sensitive skin and the second pass would cause some irritation but using a good moisturiser (I use CeraVe) after helped a lot.

Aggravationstation ,

I often worry that the last thing we'll all read is Clippy on every screen in the world saying "It looks like your planet is running out of oxygen. Bet you'd like some help now, huh bitch!"

Aggravationstation ,

But we all have a scent, would you prefer natural smell to perfume?

Aggravationstation ,

Yea I'm not a fan of them but cat piss and shit smells don't disgust me at all. I can eat in the kitchen after my cat had a shit on the other side of the room, no problem.

As you say, could be the toxoplasma.

I was told there would be sex robots. Where are the sex robots?

Aggravationstation ,

I'm tired of these mother fucking sharks, on this mother fucking federated social media platform.

I'm not really of course, but seeing "MF" used in this post annoyed me for some reason so I had to actually write mother fucking in a comment.

Aggravationstation ,

Oh no. A shitty prequel didn't convince people to spend money during a cost of living crisis. Boo-hoo for the poor actors and crew.

Aggravationstation ,

Been better, been worse friend.

Did you ever find that dingo?

Aggravationstation ,

I've come across Plan 9 in the past and assumed it was only really useful in a "time-sharing" type scenario like OG Unix used to be used for. Am I wrong about that?

Aggravationstation ,

Praise be!

What scenarios do you envision might arise once animals join our ranks? ( spectrum.ieee.org )

I heard about this because someone I know personally on here says she's helping to work on this (which by the way sounds like it would perfectly fit the format/structure of the fediverse) and I felt too fascinated to not ask. What are some scenarios that comes to mind when you think of this being a thing?

Aggravationstation ,

I think if it turns out that most animals are able to communicate to the same level humans are we'll end up with conflict between meat eaters and vegans, at least for a few generations.

  • If we've already got affordable lab grown meat options it'll probably just be old people who don't trust lab meat or aren't really able to comprehend that we can talk to animals and nobody will take them seriously.
  • People would probably protest or maybe take direct action if we don't have affordable lab meat but may eventually be placated if insects are unable to communicate and we develop convincing meat like insect protein forms.
  • But if we don't have either of those alternatives I think that there could be a straight up war between (probably religious zealot) meat eaters and vegans.
  • This conflict would die out with subsequent generations but there may still be a "real" meat black market.

But imagine if we can employ an animal to help us say build a house or a ship. It could change our lives entirely.

Aggravationstation ,

Yea interspecies sex will become as mainstream as porn today.

It might take a while to become acceptable to most people and some will be against it forever, but people will be trying to use this tech for bestiality as soon as it becomes available.

Aggravationstation ,

May I spray you with the hose in a playful fashion?

Aggravationstation ,

Never been a thing at McDonalds here in the UK.

Mam is common in northern England.

Aggravationstation ,

Very true

Aggravationstation ,

I'd like to imagine that Ric Flair, the woman and that dude in the background are just constantly wooo-ing each other whilst I sit on the other side of the restaurant and enjoy a slice of pepperoni.

Aggravationstation ,

Every surface would be covered in chewing tobacco so standing would be preferable. Also I'm not sure but that might be a urinal trough in front of the bar. Common before women were allowed into bars.

Aggravationstation ,

Truly? Or are you just angry at people at this present time.

Aggravationstation ,

I understand where you're coming from. Everyone has some evil in them. Not going to lie, I think about doing some awful shit.

I haven't done any of it. But I'm not sure if the reason I haven't is truly because I don't want to cause the impact I know it would, if I'm just afraid of the consequences or it's because I've been conditioned to not by being raised in society.

We're animals at the end of the day, but I think we're getting better overall.

Aggravationstation ,

Not bloody roots then? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_6IjeprfEs

Aggravationstation ,

It's an older meme, sir. But it does check out.

What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?

Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There's efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn't be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it's almost...

Aggravationstation ,

I don't remember women being taller than their partners being that big of a deal, until people making fun of it became a meme on the internet.

The short king thing is just another meme on the internet.

Aggravationstation ,

Yea it seems the internet became like a series of echo chambers rather than the democratic exchange we thought it would be.

Aggravationstation ,

Is that whole sobriety test thing real in the US? Like, stand on one leg and recite the alphabet etc? I've seen it on TV but always thought it was pretty stupid. In the UK the police have breath-tested for drink driving since 1967.

Aggravationstation ,

Yes pretty sure I remember that too

I always hated Monkey and PG Tips, the tea brand he advertised. He turned his back on co-star Johnny Vegas and Johnny was never the same after that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ck45ni5C
