Big_Boss_77 , to FoodPorn in Mulberry cobbler

I've done the pie tins and cds and stuff, results were always wildly inconsistent, but a lot of old timers around here do that.

Big_Boss_77 , to Ask Lemmy in What are the minimum things you need to be willing to live for eternity?

I would ask for a means of travel in with this as well... fixing the lack of breathable air would be pointless if you're stuck aimlessly drifting through space, Bender a la Godfellas style.

Huh... never seen this, I'll have to check it out. Got some wild black berries I'd like to protect too. I try it out on them. Thanks for the idea.

Big_Boss_77 , to FoodPorn in Mulberry cobbler

Ahhh... I bet you're right. Mine are all out in fence rows, where I don't see them unless I intentionally go after them.

Big_Boss_77 , to FoodPorn in Mulberry cobbler

How do you keep the birds out of your mulberries long enough to get ripe? Not a big fan of netting trees... but other options are fair game.

Big_Boss_77 , to Political Memes in "Of course not - that might hurt my accelerationist dreams!"

Idealistic sophistry at best, malicious deceit at worst.

In a perfect world, I would agree with you. In your fever dream, I probably do. Unfortunately, we have to play the hand we're dealt and exist in reality. In reality, the system doesn't work the way you wish it did.

Please, do everything you're saying you're going to do, make your idealist stand and pat yourself on the back because because you took the moral high ground and voted for who you thought was best.

I know you're going to come back with the logic of "vote for != vote against" and you're not wrong. There's no defense against that. In a fair, and just world, you're absolutely right. Unfortunately, the rest of us don't live in your idealist leftist utopia, and are stuck on mundane terra firma. Enjoy your smug satisfaction as you look around in a self-congratulatory stupor knowing that you didn't vote for someone who didn't implement your idealism as immediately as you wished for.

The rest of us, "liberals" or whatever the term is now days... I can't keep it straight anymore, too old and tired... conservatives who can no longer handle the directions their party is going, libertarians who can no longer abide stupidity, and the unaffiliated who simply want people to be able to live as who and what they are...love who and what they are, we will vote. Sure, it'll be a vote for the status quo, but as the status quo sits now...it's better than the alternative.

I know you find the status quo morally repugnant, and frankly I don't fault you a bit. It is, you're right. We should be so much further down the path than we are. Is the Democrat du jour going to get us there? No, probably not. Are they going to step in the right direction? Maybe. Are they going to be a triage scenario to stop the hemorrhaging and stabilize the patient so they survive long enough to get to a place where actual work can be done? Hopefully, definitely more so than the republican du jour.

It's meatball politics. It's ugly, it's unpleasant, it's sad that we have to fight so hard to simply stay where we're at.

If you read this far, I appreciate it. This is a lot of thoughts I've had reading yours and other comments throughout various forums. You are not the cause of all of these, but you were the catalyst that drove pen to paper.

I'm not looking to debate you, mainly for two reasons.

  1. There's no point.
  2. You're not technically wrong. I'm not going to dissuade you, and you're not going to elevate me beyond reality.

I hope you have a good day neighbor, and may you find the utopia you so richly deserve.

Big_Boss_77 , to politics in Polling sets off fresh alarm bells for Biden

Big_Boss_77 , to Movies and TV Shows in Warner Bros. to Release First New ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie ‘The Hunt for Gollum’ in 2026, Peter Jackson to Produce and Andy Serkis to Direct

This is a post about some new movie...why are you referencing that God awful gollum game they released a while back?

Big_Boss_77 , to politics in Why is RFK Jr. polling steadily around 10%? Does anyone know anyone who is voting for him? What are their reasons / brainworms?

Yup... wild ride for sure.

Brain slugs...

Big_Boss_77 , to News in Aldi Just Announced a Major Change to Grocery Prices, Lowering Prices

Aldi is awesome. As someone who pseudo-homesteads, if I can't grow it or raise it, I buy it from Aldi. It's the next best thing.

Big_Boss_77 , to Ask Lemmy in Which programming languages do you know?

Does that statement apply to someone who uses python with the finesse of a woodchipper?

...asking for a friend.

Big_Boss_77 , to Superbowl in I Think I'm Stuck!

This is my hole, I know it!

Big_Boss_77 , to Political Memes in Life doesnt have to be this way

I would love to learn to weld, be a mechanic, electrician... basically all the things I've had to pickup up in a triage capacity. I would love to give up my 9-5 rat race job and learn to do something beneficial well. I can't justify the current expense of taking 18-24 months off to go back to school though when I make enough to stay alive at this point.

You are probably right, but at the same time we might be surprised. UBI becomes the catalyst for this experiment to take off though.

Big_Boss_77 , to News in US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana in a historic shift, AP sources say

Well said neighbor.
