Same ):

There’s a cold spell in my region, so naturally my sinuses and nose are congested. It’s the most irritating thing of no real consequence I’m dealing with currently. Whyyyyy

Congratulations on not requiring a root canal!

It was definitely a factor is me going from “vaguely right-wing because my parents are” to “democrats aren’t left enough”.

If you’re talking about running for office - I’m not sure. If you’re talking about something smaller-scale, you can find the nearest protest and try to find someone handing out flyers or signing up people for newsletters. That will get you looped into protests, rallies, mailing campaigns, and other actions.

The other place I’ve encountered groups canvassing is at the local farmer’s markets, weirdly enough.

I mean. This is framed as humor but a lot of people genuinely think this way. Derogatory terms for women aside, if you’re not happy by yourself you’re not going to be happy with a partner. Unfortunately this is the sort of thing you need to understand on your own and internalize because the kneejerk reaction to someone telling you this tends to be “having a girlfriend/boyfriend/partner actually would make me happier”

Bro didn’t miss improv class

Have you tried different lotions? For me at least there are noticeable differences between what my hands feel like during and after application for different brands.

My favorite has been a cocoa butter-beeswax lotion bar from a local farmers market. It was stupidly expensive but it was so nice.

What an alarming number of people fail to realize: everything is politics. This apparent separation is purposeful and is one of many tools that the wealthiest 1% use to keep the rest of us divided and distracted.

I’m at work now but looking forward to martial arts practice afterward.

I use stremio+torrentio and it’s recently-ish stopped working when I use (any, as far as I can tell) VPN server :/

Both will straight up murder a person.

Yep! One of my favorite shows

This is sending me

I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who “doesn’t pay attention to politics”. I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.

TURTLE

Fun fact: box turtles are so named because their shell has a hinge! All turtles can retreat into their shells to make it harder for predators to get at their squishy bits, but box turtles can also then close the opening of their shell over their head. Like a box.

Yes. I can’t help that everything is fascinating to me…

Not an answer to your question, but how are you using stremio with a vpn?

I use stremio+realdebrid+torrentio. Realdebrid doesn’t, as far as I know, work while using a vpn, but if there’s a way around that I’d love to know.

You’ll find out what’s growing…probably. good luck :)
