For LGBTQ rights? Definitely. For the climate? Way worse. Politically? Way worse. Economically... I'd way we are in a big bubble like the roaring 20s before the great depression. And when it pops, it's gonna be bad, thanks to idiot voters and corrupt Republicans.

Government-wise...things are not looking good. It will take a very long time to rebuild.

Now...state-wise, I know my state is way better off than it was 30 years ago, but that doesn't mean we aren't about to get slammed by braindead antics of the federal government. But we have made a lot of infrastructure investments that are paying off locally. The future of America will be exclusively in states that put a premium on science and progress.

For vocals, probably Constellations (Unplugged) by Dabu. This song can be found on less compressed platforms too, which I recommend

If we are talking in the magical sense, absolutely not, especially if it was proportional to crimes committed. Putin, Trump, XI, and Kim never would have made it to power, not to mention quite a few others.

Sounds tasty! I'll have to try them at some point :)

What do they taste like? I live in a wet region where they cannot really grow.

Sodas and other sugary drinks are extremely addictive to developing kids. If you grow up in a household with it, they'll probably want it more. Good on ya for only having water around, it's what everyone should be drinking (and milk!).

That snowball guy finally died last year, thank God. Too bad it wasn't from a flood or hurricane.

The original Subnautica is worth playing, it's a fantastic game with an interesting world, intriguing story, and actually fun gameplay and vehicles. The vehicles themselves are extremely fun, too.

Try out various ebikes! I use the Transit app which has a bike section that should try and put you on the safest routes in your city. If you buy a bike with a rack, get a pannier or two, they can carry groceries, laptops or beach supplies no problem. Many places with little car parking have bike racks, such as parks, beaches, and small businesses.

Invest in a good ulock or thick chain for protecting your bike! Doing a 20 mile trip to work could be a bit ambitious at first, but start with smaller bite-sized trips, and work your way up (or supplement it with commuter buses or regional rail, if there are options. Bikes + Transit go together!)

Oooh, decorative, or do you plan on eating some?

Get some Himalayan blackberry and English ivy in there too, to really fuck things up.

 

I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

 
 

They grow natively, here, but not many native plant sellers seem to sell them, citing their difficulty in cultivating them.

I soaked 30 seeds for 24 hours, then planted them in a seed starter greenhouse with peat under a grow light.

Your best bets for fluoridated toothpastes are probably sensodyne, unless you can find these more obscure brands.

I hope they continue to test more adult pastes!

 

Tonight, I attended a talk on neuroscience and brain research, and there were a lot of interesting links between memories, behavior, and mental health. So I'm doing my own little version of that in this thread. What song do you associate with happy memories, even if it's just a general feeling of happiness? Can you recall one of your oldest ones?

Go your own way, by Fleetwood Mac makes me think of fun car trips with my parents, roughly around 6-8 years old. Nothing terribly specific, though I do associate it closely with one of the city highway on ramps used to go visit relatives, go skiing, or get to the airport. :)
