Davenport, Iowa. And the $25 ones are considered high class.

Nope! And also your spoiler tag is broken

This is one of my favorite manga, so for anyone who hasn't read this yet please feel free to do so here!

Itou Junji is a genius and this is an amazing story.

I've been practicing meditation for years, it helps tremendously with just regular ol' psychological well-being and it can also put me to sleep in minutes.

There's a good one I use when I'm trying to sleep, where you mindfully relax all your muscles from your head to your toes, and back up again.

I use a lathe to peel potatoes

Arrrr matey, you should make those recommendations even if they're not available for streaming 👀👀

Probably stiffed his hosting provider, just like he stiffs his contractors 😬

Oof that's what I get for talking about shit that I don't know anything about. Sounds pretty scary 😬

What legislation? That seems like a pretty big deal and I'd love to learn more.

But the point still stands- how many openly trans people were there in 2003? Not many, probably because they were violently suppressed. The world today has a long way to go, but it's getting better. All I'm saying is, it's getting better.

Wow that's incredible!

Every year, there are fewer and fewer pieces of shit. 20 years ago, maybe even 10, no one would even know about this. Times are changing, and although it is true that a huge proportion of people are the literal worst, it IS getting better. Maybe in a few more generations things like this will be a thing of the past. Fortunately these particular scumbags are being held accountable.

That's a sick flag, what group is it approximating

The government would never let Texas leave the union, and if by some miracle they actually did I'm sure those weapons and facilities would be forcibly repatriated.

Texas can't even keep their own lights on, I think it would be hilarious to watch them try to go it alone. But it won't ever happen.

I have a lot of questions for you, are you perchance on the Matrix chat? I'm @bizzle420:matrix.org

Nobody ever talks about corruption in the private sector, and I'm glad you did.

That surely changed how I look at things, actually

I don't actually know much about day to day life in Vietnam, are their poverty numbers especially low? I'd love to do more research on that.

I think my biggest problem with central economic planning is it seems to take away a lot of perspective, where the people doing the planning might not have a super great understanding of what the people might need on the other side of the country. Does that make sense?

I'm a union autoworker when I'm not weed farming, I actually got quoted a few times by the WSWS in their coverage of my factory's strike which was a really cool experience. I consider myself a socialist, even. I just think demand driven economics makes more sense to me. I'd love to get persuaded though.

That's fair, actually.

Cuba is actually cool, I've thought that for a long time. Of all the Communists I think Castro did it best, and he made life measurably better for Cubans. I cannot say the same about the Soviet Union or the PRC.
