Do your own ironing! It’s quite easy. Heat the iron to the proper temperature. Not too hot. Use steam liberally. Use an ironing board and a sleave attachment. Turn your garment around so you can reach everywhere. Some creases are meant to be there. Make sure they are straight before ironing them.
For me the chain is similar but longer.

A succulent Chinese meal?
a month of walking and leftovers for lunch
probably did more good for your own health than the car repair would have
At the time quite a few people doubted the existence of the extermination camps. But when they were liberated and journalists got to visit them the cat was out of the bag.
That alone should be enough for any rational voter to stay away from him. But alas, voters aren’t rational beings.
they’re a bunch of corrupt assholes.
And that is putting it mildly.
What if extra cheese is one of the toppings?
I had the same experience with Arthur C. Clarke.
He moved to Sri Lanka to dodge all the accusations of pedophilia. It was all hushed up. As was the custom at the time.
Nuclear weapons…
Yes!
As stupid as it sounds people trust them more than the experts. We live in the post truth times anyway.
Plot twist: You don’t live in a zoo or as a pet. You are in the wild forests of South West China that are being logged. You run for your life as your habitat is being destroyed.
They’ll get a hard core fascist with Trump. With Biden they’ll get a fascist-lite. None of the offensive parts of fascism. Just the corruption and special interests dictating policy parts.
The US administration is so corrupt that it is hard to get anything useful done. Even if it is something that has been obvious for decades.
You fail to understand how deeply ingrained the need for infinite growth is coupled into our society. It’s not that some shareholders will not get their profits. Institutional investors (sovereign wealth funds, retirement funds, etc.) will fail to provide services billions of people rely upon.
There won’t be enough people keep the wheels of society turning. Some institutions will stop functioning. Healthcare, industry, law enforcement, etc. will all be under enormous pressure. People will lose faith in society’s ability to provide basic necessities and this is when the collapse proper will begin.
Importing more people from third world countries will not save us in the long run. They will run out at some point. And they will bring some of their problems with them. Causing instability.
If we were to avoid it we would have to replace almost everything.
It would be a threat to humanity’s continued existence in the case of societal collapse. You know, the one we are in the middle of. If one generation cannot for any reason give birth to the next one. It is over. We are facing that scenario right now.
The fact that sperm count in men is alarmingly poor all over the world. Be it caused by pollutants or by medicine allowing those unable to procreate naturally to pass on their genes.
The “gender revolution” has allowed people to be what ever they want to be. But this has led to them to be unwilling or unable to procreate without advanced medicine.
Birth rates are falling off a cliff around the world. In some countries the population will be halved by the end of the century given current birth rates.
This will cause a societal collapse. And those unable to procreate without advanced medicine will die without having children. The others will face an uphill battle to continue living. Their weakened immune systems inherited from ancestors saved by medicine. Battling superbugs created by medicine. Without access to it.
In an effort to heal and help medicine has weakened us and left us vulnerable. And that is a threat to humanity’s continued existence.
It’s been going on for far longer than than that. Before the Americans it was the Russians. Before the Russians it was the British.
Afghanistan is the place where empires go to die.
Desperate country recruiting desperate people to fight in their war.
Well, there are bikers and then there are bikers.
Also sexual predators are often victims themselves. It is not far fetched that some would try to help people is a similar situation. But it is also not far fetched to think that some become perpetrators of similar actions.
When I was younger I used to have these dreams from time to time where some mundane unimportant things were happening. Like walking through the parking lot of my school with classmates to go to gym class. And then it would happen just as in the dream. They would happen some days, weeks sometimes years after these dreams. And I would remember the dream in that moment and think ‘deja vu’.
