prongs

Babies have to learn to be self sufficient as early as 12 weeks so that they can enter the workforce and learn to be oppressed sooner.

I'm not doing this to try and call you out, but I am curious - what link are you making here if it isn't "sexual preference embarrassing"?

Proud to say I accomplished that! My dad trained a fair bit. I did like 1 10km walk the week before we started, and I finished the 800kms with no real dramas, except the first day which was a massive climb. After 5-6 days my body was totally accustomed to the task at hand.

(Super irrelevant to the post but it was an awesome experience and I would advocate anyone to undertake it, regardless of your thoughts on religion. I am not religious but did find it spiritual in a way. I did it about 6 years ago and still think about it every week.)

As in the route I took?

I'm interested in the inevitable double whammy for those of us who grew up in both plastic and PFAS filled environments.

I can really see a future in my lifetime where plastic and PFAS exposure is identified as causing severe damage to humans and animals. I just feel utterly immersed in them whether I like it or not.

I love this album, and really think Kishi Bashi shines when he's performing live. My favourite album of his is definitely the live performance, but his sets at Tiny Desk and Audiotree are my favourite.

Removing her from their lives was probably their intent with the bullying. Whether or not they considered death over deportation, they got what they wanted.

Maybe I'm too cynical as an outsider looking on to the US but I don't think these kids will even remember her name in 5 years. Only that they succeeded in preventing whatever DEI /woke word vomit their parents and the media warned them about.

Yeah, same. Never been asked. I've known for a long time I've never wanted to have children.

But that's purely for me. Not for me to pass judgement on anyone who does want kids, it's such a personal choice.

The Aboriginal culture of Australia.

Where I live, you have boring reused English place names like Brighton and Canterbury, and then much more distinguishable and interesting place names from the indigenous peoples like Dandenong and Bullengarook. When you learn the interpreted history of the name, I really appreciate the name more. Dandenong is thought to have come from Tanjenong, which means "lofty mountains."

Then there are some bastardisations - what is now known as Toorak is from the word Turrak, which means "reedy grass"

Indigenous culture here is so willfully ignored and diminished by so many people. I think it's really cool that we do have some ongoing reference to the oldest continuous culture in the world, even if it only comes up in meme culture as a funny haha :)

Hell, as a human I'll take that deal. When can I move in?

I'm dreading the day my current wagon (a 2000s beamer) kicks the bucket. There haven't been many commuter class wagons released in a long time, at least where I live. All replaced with SUVs and over sized utes.
