The decline of the Third Space is an interesting social phenomenon.
The more comments I read the more apt this is. Without places to just be, with no expectation or obligation to be a consumer, somewhere to be around people with or without socializing. Makes you feel like part of your community, part of something that’s bigger than you, to be seen, to be acknowledged.

Anti-capitalist maybe, but pro capital. Dear leader and his cronies need the cash crops to for export, fancy houses don’t grow on trees. They grow off the the sweat of the worker.
I didn’t intend to say the farmer is making the choices solely for personal profit. They grow what sells, or what they’re told to, so they can afford to live, not their choice.
In the end I see we agree. It’s not about an ism. It’s all about cash. Money. Capital. And greed doesn’t care about crop rotation- it’s too short sighted.
Methinks it’s a capitalist issue, not a farming issue.
Farmers can’t bank seeds and have to buy new every year or face legal consequences.
Probably also planting based on value of crop vs cost of growing not nutritional red of the community.
Just have it at the surfing venue. Teahupo’o.
I’ve got a menthol minty butt soap. For the small price of washing myself I get a refreshing, lingering blast of arctic freshness on those hot ‘n humid downstairs jungle days. It may still get swampy, but for a few extra moments- it’s glorious.
Read the comment with instructions man. Wipe with toilet paper first, as normal. Then wash with soap and water. Then dry with a towel. If you’re smearing poop all over everything you’ve got other issues to work out.
To answer your question, it is cleaner than just using toilet paper because you are wash with soap and water after you use the toilet paper. If you manage to get poop all over the towel when you’re done washing, then TP alone was never going to suffice.
Odd that it didn’t get blocked by these US banking institutions, or they got the transfer fees then flagged the transactions…
Ah, my bad- so it is. To be honest all I’ve ever heard about the Foxconn iPhone factories in china is them using Chinese semi slave labor run by Chinese people.
I guess taiwan number one China is still a bit shady at times…
Wait… I thought Apple left China because of slave(ish) labor reasons. But are still using Foxconn which is a Chinese company?
Ah found this: “Like many of its competitors, Apple has relied on China for assembling its products for years. But political and economic factors have forced the company, as well as the broader tech sector, to rethink that approach by seeking partners from across the region.” (Link
You can take the production out of China, but not China out of production…all for ‘optics’.
I’m glad Mcsweeny and its lists are still going and still humorous. I’d recommend doing a deep dive into the lists going back -even 20 years oh dang it been a while.
And people of whiteness in the global north, as well.
Most of these artists use fairly complicated, or difficult to master, software to create and/or edit their art.
Signing up for and uploading images to a website isn’t really complicated.

Houses built in the 40’s, earthquake country, listed for over a million dollars and “no contingencies”. Sounds like the bargain of the century!
The push back from the residents is a bit of knee jerk reaction, it’s them saying “treat our city like an amusement park, fine, pay like you’re visiting an amusement park”.
A complex issue boiled down to one phrase.
The answer is here somewhere

It’s got a good dose of Aussie humor for a pretty serious ecological disaster. Also a good dose of “we humans have learned nothing from our mistakes “.
We stood up during the anti Iraq war protests, occupy Wall Street, blm, pro-choice, marched for lgbtq rights, human rights, the environment.
We’re burned out because (mostly) nothing changed or got worse… also busy working to the bone to be able to afford to go to work tomorrow.
Perfect consumer because everything we need to buy is designed to fail and not be repairable.
No one is pointing out that these “convection currents” created are not taking any bacteria away.
That is only steam from the water added, or water left in the meat- it doesn’t take anything away with it… otherwise you’d have an empty pan and meat vapor all over your kitchen.
