Perhaps I live in a bubble of pessimism, but — isn't the looming collapse of civilization well-known, and essentially a certainty?

Well, nobody certainly didn't see that coming.

It was probably never true, but for many years I foolishly thought that 'bankruptcy' meant 'going out of business.' That's what it means if a mom-and-pop restaurant or shop declares bankruptcy. When companies get ginormous, though, they never go away. Rite Aid will 'reorganize' itself with fresh investors, and it'll still be a shitty drug store long after everyone reading this is dead.

This is a worry and problem I've never had and don't really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you're judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.

I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.

Hockey has been dead to me since the NHL made this announcement.

There are things going on that are less important than which monstrous Republican is Speaker of the House and which office Nancy Pelosi's desk is in, but Republicans are fucking the world over in many, many far more important ways.

Seems clever and feasible to me. I suppose you'd need background checks on the passenger-couriers, but after that small hurdle, unless it's an urgent package like a pizza, transit riders could get anything across any city in an hour or so.

Where do I sign up?

Everywhere I go I'm usually the oldest person in the room, and I've been hearing that line since long before I'd ever heard of Donald Trump.

Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.

And Bernie's right. I ain't arguing.

Sure is a bucket of swill we're always forced to drink from, though.

I should worry that this info is exposed?

I couldn't stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.

A novel approach. It would slow me down, certainly, if I was driving there, or walking.
