People can get accustomed to their environment, even actively harmful environments. Choosing to stay where you are is an exertion of control for people who currently (and often for most of their lives) have very little control over their lives.

You can see it in everybody, just not to such a self-damaging extent. I can't blame anyone stuck in it, the same way I don't blame people who stay in abusive homes.

As someone who was homeless before, I really appreciate what you've done to help.

Tuca and Bertie. Netflix cancelled it, then HBO made another season. But just before releasing it HBO cancelled it for a tax break. It's heartbreaking to think of the writers and animators pouring their lives into it just for nobody to ever see it.

If I saw that in a repo I would 100% believe it. I've seen so many that are just as baffling.

This drives me crazy with software websites and GitHub repos. Sometimes they'll give you a hint that involves other undefined things like, "This lets you use Floorp with Bibix."

Exactly. Everyone at work uses it to cut the chain of "Looks good", "Thanks", "No problem", etc short. If you're interpreting an emoji as an attack you might have anger issues.

As an American, I support this. Do not come here. Not only to send a monetary message, but because I genuinely don't feel like tourists are safe. ICE and DHS have gone off the rails, and nobody should risk their lives to visit what little beauty we have left.

You sound absolutely unreasonable. I completely agree and feel the same way, though. I can't stand them.
