Buy 4 new tires for your vehicle. All at once. Take a look at the vimes "boots theory of economic injustice" principal. 1000 seems extreme to you, but getting through the winter in certain parts can be sobering.

The point isnt the dollar figure, it's the principal.

Options where i live for non alcoholic beer are scarce where i live, but tbh, It's a little more of a "something that isnt beer at night" sort of thing than it is a drive for sobriety. Ive got no problem with a gin and tonic nightcap, however a glass or two of tea is cheaper and healthier. But thanks for the alternative. I appriciate it.

Been trying to cut back on my evening alcohol consumption. Its a simple, very flavor forward herbal tea, and its been a great drink for winding down and resetting for the night. I dont know what it is, but im a fan. Mint tea didnt do that, but a cup or two of bengal spice seems to be what i personally crave now.

I like lemmy, but i miss reddits ability for useless hot takes to be downvoted into oblivion.

So many people here really do think their hard line, no context opinions hold value.

Something something forest, trees, shitty visibility. For fucks sake.

You do know what a false dichotomy is, right?

If you wanna be supremely dissapointed on how long the worst of the worst can last after they commit horrible atrocities, look up pol pot. Assuming this man will pay consequences for his actions anytime in the near future is, unfortunately, very naïve.

Its a pretty good joke though, you gotta admit. Nothing like someone with a phd and the knowledge to mess with people not literate in the subject matter. Kudos to dr liu.

And genocide provides a more homogeneous clientele to market towards.

Abbot' predecessor was the driving force behind our massive wind energy investments. This is great news for clean energy and the state. I dont like abbot, and barely tolerated Perry, but every now and then, the leaders of Texas do something i can get behind.

Using an emoji lineup to pick what service is superior is the most pantshittingly stupid reasoning i have ever seen. Jesus fucking christ.
