Whenever my stomach hurts i'll remember some recommendation that you're supposed to sleep on your left or right side.

But I never remember which so I just rotate back and forth

I was looking for something like dwarf fortress adventure mode or cataclysm dark days ahead and this is as close as I could find.

Sacrifices a lot of the smaller details of CDDA by being easier to play (not a bad trade off necessarily). You'll still die a million times in Qud though.

Keep saying it. Everyone agrees and yet congress doesn't enact it 🤔 I'm just glad the oligarchs understand the will of the people better than us rabble!

I enjoyed reading your replies to this dolt. I think they try to exhaust you by muddying the water but all he's done is make his position look utterly stupid and exhausting.

I think his goal is to make people afraid to engage and silence others from posting? Or maybe it's simply to waste your time. Either way, I appreciate your attempt at engaging this bad faith "I'm on your side no really" actor.

They purposefully distort information to brainwash people.

Prageru is not run by idiots - they are evil with intent and they will train the next generation to be good slaves if allowed.

Props for seeking out answers and sharing

Agree with you but just want to share the definition of memes with you. Memes can be discussion points, ideas, formats, image templates, or any other vector for transporting an idea.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme

Image memes are just extremely easy to digest, and tend to be more enjoyable, so they're a great method for sharing ideas.

Austin and Houston have fairly liberal populations.

But yeah, it sucks here. 1/6 of the texan population are immigrants, and 10% aren't citizens and can't vote. The right want you to victim blame. I'd encourage you to see it as people being oppressed by an overreaching corrupt government, similar to Florida. Sure there are idiots and racists but a lot of it is voter suppression and disenfranchisement

 

Since Yelp lets businesses pay to revise reviews and advertise for top results, I was wondering if there were any good open source/non-monetized review sites or apps that people have tried out? I usually compare to google reviews and read some of the top reviews to try and filter out the junk, but I know I'm still getting weighted star ratings and promoted content.

A quick search revealed https://lib.reviews/ but I didn't see a ton of content.

It'd also be great to find an alternative to the shitshow that is amazon product reviews. It would be great to find non-manipulated user opinions. Obviously every review system is going to have bad actors but it's nice when the site itself isn't the one in charge and there's some transparency.

Any recommendations or ideas for how to find feedback on stuff to buy?

 

I really enjoy the ClimateTown youtube channel. I had never considered that parking laws could be behind why my city looks like such a dystopian concrete jungle.

They also provide some instructions for how to contact your local council reps to voice your concerns - https://www.climatechangemakers.org/playbook-parking-mandates/#action

I don't think I'm as active in politics as I should be but we all have to start somewhere. I'm sharing here and hope some of you also try reaching out to your local reps. You can even complain about more than just parking laws!
