I used to know three homeless people whom I used to talk to on my way home from work. I gave them cash, bought them food. I have no idea if they are still alive today. I know of at least seven more whom I occasionally keep in touch with. And some more who have been homeless previously, but who have survived that through various feats and means and landed on their feet again. Sleeping rough in Sweden, above Skåne, is fucking rough.

Out of my limited and anecdotal experience, I don’t blame a single one of them for getting hooked on drugs. Alcohol got too expensive, tobacco is waaaay too expensive for effect, so the high and low that other drugs could give kept them warm throughout the roughest nights and/or John experiences.

As my cousins in Ukraine said, they’d gladly drink the water so that they could spit in the faces of both Russian and Israeli forces.

How come they don’t raid country clubs, golf resorts or large hotels? Especially down in Florida.

Utter evil.

Plastic bottles are usually made from preforms delivered from the plastic bottle manufacturer. The rinsing would ideally be when the bottle is formed from a preform at the soda plant, before the bottle is filled. Some do this (sometimes with harsh chemicals), but most don’t as they consider the preform as sufficiently clean enough to fill.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Maybe they should focus all of their efforts on the 1% now.

Ok, thank you, good night, now I’m off watching owl and birdwatching videos as brain bleach before I fall asleep.

I kind of prefer my Switch 2 fantasy compared to visualizing Marquis de Sade writings…

While most of us would applaud that as “finally some consequences for that murderous despot!” it’s probably more of a “nah, not interested, just use any old excuse so that I can stay at home and play some sweet sweet video games!”.

Well, it’s how it’s spelled in pretty much all of the English-speaking world. Barring the USA and Canada.

Edit: my favourite ”whelp” is apparently not what I thought.

It seems that every article from Jacobin is skewed ever so slightly, not enough to make most think there’s something wrong, but it seems to skew anti-progressive by tone and wording, while being assertive in part to some center (or right-leaning by European standards), and aggressive in language towards selective parts of the far-right while mellowing down the tone against conservatives in general.

It’s like eating candy and discovering that the sugar coating is actually aluminium.

It’s still a big deal, the eggs shouldn’t have been contaminated and released for consumption in the first place.

Sooo… this is as close to a product recommendation as you can get on The Guardian without reverting to ads.

The Xtrema ceramic pans seem really enticing.

Or they could have left it underwater and in a few hundred years have a ship museum about it.

Don’t worry, I also DM’d him a picture where the spoons were aligned more harmoniously.

To bug a friend who has mild OCD.

Was thinking of cropping it before I posted, but felt that the window frame added character and allowed for optional cropping if anyone wanted to use this image.
