I'm all for people staying safe and taking care of themselves, but the problem is moving makes the entire situation worse. Concentrating ourselves into small geographic areas inside cities is what allowed them to gerrymander the shit out of things and get the minority political party locked into outsized political influence.

Every blue voter that leaves a rural area makes the divide worse. So I praise those who are brave enough to stay.

This is so exciting! I can't believe I lived to see this happen.

Oh I hadn't even thought of that. I have two accounts because when I started using Boost for Lemmy, my home instance wasn't supported, so I signed up for startrek.website.

My old account would appear to be an inactive user in the numbers, which is not really accurate. But also it means that bump in users that happened during the reddit exodus was partially driven by duplicate sign ups.

I'm a nurse. We are completely rational, evidence-based, science oriented.

Also, had a patient on our critical care unit overnight waiting on a pacemaker, heart rate in the 30s with frequent pauses where it just didn't beat at all. Hospital doctor comes in to check on patient (who was already sent down to get the pacer) and notices the vial of atropine taped to the patient's door jamb.

Hospital doctor asks me about it, and with a straight face complete sincerity, I reply, "To ward off evil spirits."

The witchy ways endure.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on here who plays Hollow Knight. When I want to chill, I like to start a new game and just go through the early-mid game exploration phase. No pressure, skip bosses if I feel like it. Just run around and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Love it.

I know, right? Trust me, as a nurse it makes it very challenging to recommend this brand to my colleagues lol

I definitely will check them out. Kuru were a god damned revolution in my life after years of struggling with Brooks and Hoka.

Do you routinely walk 3-4 miles a day on your feet for 12 hours in addition to full time wear outside work? I'm a nurse, dude. Yes, I replace my shoes long before they're threadbare. These feet pay my mortgage.

Now I'm mad that I didn't even make that pun on purpose lol

And the secret to goat mowing is you gotta move the stake that the goat is tied to around the yard so the goat can get all the grass and not just one circle

Reindeer in a restaurant in Helsinki. It was good, a lot like beef. The reindeer were farmed, so it wasn't too tough or gamey.

As an American raised in West Virginia, thinking of goat as exotic feels funny as well lol. When I was a kid, my mom had a goat to eat the grass on the hill that was too steep to mow.

That is... definitely not how any of that works.
