The Austin Chronicle has reliably good content. Lots of local stuff, but also commentary on the state of Texas, and a ton of arts pieces

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job

I would argue this extends way beyond gender into every facet of someone’s life, achieving one’s goals and desires

Who said perishable items were “strictly prohibited?” Slapping a stamp on a kraft single would not meet the criteria laid out in the second half of the sentence you left out of your quote.

You’re absolutely right about this. It’s super easy to take a block of high-quality cheddar cheese and melt it with some sodium citrate to make the creamiest cheese dip you’ve ever eaten. And you can make your own sodium citrate with just lemon juice and baking soda

It’s certainly perishable, doesn’t have to be food

This would be prohibited by the USPS:

5 Perishable Matter

51 Definition

511 General Definitions

Perishable matter is anything that can deteriorate in the mail and thereby lose value, create a health hazard, or cause an obnoxious odor, nuisance, or disturbance, under ordinary mailing conditions. Mailable perishable matter may be sent at the mailer’s own risk when it is packaged as required and when it can be delivered within appropriate and reasonable time limits to prevent deterioration. Examples of perishable matter include mailable types of live animals, food items, and plants.

If they aren’t causing you any problems, they’re fine. If you haven’t looked at them too closely, you might not even be dealing with rats, but some kind of mouse.

This is a great way to frame this. To put this thinking into an example, most people who are abusive toward others have themselves been victims of abuse earlier in their lives and are reenacting patterns they were taught. I think those people deserve compassion and understanding

Not only diseases and predators keep them in check, there are also other plants that can effectively compete with them in their native range too

Yeah but have you tried eating a lot of cheese and drinking nothing but Red Bull?

17 is the age of consent in 39 of 50 states. And this doesn’t make a relationship illegal, it would make sex illegal, which OP doesn’t say anything about

A 3 year age gap isn’t creepy at all. He’s not “grooming” her at all either, you sound like a homophobic MAGA with that flippant, derisive use of that term.

We’d all be hard pressed to find anything you feel is acceptable. It seems your favorite hobby is shitting on everyone and everything on Lemmy.

Shade is everything. Tree shade is the best, because trees transpire, cooling the ground beneath them even more than shade would alone.

Inside your house (depending on what kind of home you have), you can also take a look at your overall energy efficiency, including windows, doors, insulation in walls and attic, and weather stripping to seal all gaps

since they’re billed as ‘acrobats’, I assumed skill was involved

How do you think they got up there?

Pretty sure in atleast a couple of the games, he says “I’m good now!” And everyone believes him until the double cross

Astrophysicist?

Atheist. Religion is an explanation of the world that’s made the fuck up. I think people make shit up to explain reality because accepting uncertainty is difficult, but that doesn’t make it ok. The world around you exists, just like it is. There is no special place you get to go if you follow the right set of rules .

Without suffering, there is no enjoyment. What do you enjoy? What are you grateful for? “Nothing” is a cynical and avoidant answer here, because every person has legitimate answers to these two questions. What are yours?
