Yeah at a reasonable price I think a fridge is a decent place to put a display surface. It’s an early point of failure but with some consumer and longevity focused thinking that’s resolvable. I don’t need it enough for the costs but if done well with a focus on the consumer’s needs and wants it could be quite nice. Mind you that condition means fat chance but still, a display telling me what I’m doing today and if I need a jacket would be really convenient in the kitchen. Give it a bus tracker and I think people would really love that.

Honestly I hate how much of tech these days ignores asking if it’s solving a problem

Yeah a small screen showing time, day, weather, moon phase, sunrise/set, moonrise/set and daily/weekly schedule would be awesome. I have friends who keep a weekly meal/social schedule on their fridge and when I was staying with them mid move it was really convenient to have what’s going on so prominently displayed

I haven’t been able to get home assistant working but I imagine it has something for home displays like that with a fair amount of customizability

Ads and the news are two things I absolutely don’t want on my refrigerator. This is a large eye level object in the room that days begin in. They’re putting ads there because they know its a really convenient place to display useful information.

The only big cocks I’ve dealt with were a real pain in the ass…

I’m not even mad I’m mostly impressed you managed to piss off a premier research hospital, a leather bar, and fans of rock and roll among many others

I’ve had enough fat chicks in my life to know the sign ain’t wrong

Yeah it’s actually nice there’s no porn on it. It’s all skill

Melania. And up top is Jackie Kennedy not Marilyn Monroe

Also Esperanto at the time was hoped to be the universal second language of the working class. That did not mean esperantists were any less annoying then though

Oh no, what happened to the other half?

Oh hell yeah that sounds good

It’s funny how it’s so geographically close to the excellent Dayton style pizza

So they dont use polar coordinates? That’s a shame

City and state are pretty good, but the national is a sewage plant fire

Yes but also, the 1950s here were a time of social backlash. In the 1940s women were wearing bold red lipstick (because Hitler vocally didn’t like it) and engaging heavily in the economy even in male dominated fields because so many men were in the military that we couldn’t keep the country going otherwise. Meanwhile the men were fighting side by side in desegregated units.

So war ends, and a decent portion of the returning soldiers think things are going to return to normal. But the women got a taste of the freedom of economic independence and black men got a taste of being treated less awfully. The white men feel emasculated. But the benefits of the new deal are here and so a single man can support a family and even move to the all white suburbs on his income thanks to his union job, veteran benefits, and government assistance meant to prevent another period of mass poverty. And this is ignoring the whole deal of how LGBT issues were impacted by the war and its end. Also the second red scare and lavender scare (McCarthyism) happened in the late 40s-early 50s.

And so yeah while you have some counterculture movements in the 50s like beatnicks, biker and leather clubs, the mattachine society, and greasers as well as fighting for black civil rights, the 50s were largely defined by the reactionary forces as the discontent built. The 60s didn’t spring up out of nowhere.

Is peeing standing up something I’m just too intersex to understand? Like even before bottom surgery it was just more easy and convenient to sit down for it

Of the children up for adoption a huge portion have pretty serious issues. Some it’s stuff like trauma, many are significantly disabled (like, learning and behavior disabilities, not just like deaf or needs a wheelchair), some are at risk of being taken back (a lot of foster kids are in and out due to unstable parents), and others have issues of providence (stolen from parents in developing countries).

There are also issues like many adoption agencies are Christian run and will not adopt to queer people or non-Christians.

Adoption is great, if you’re interested in kids but can’t make your own its definitely the first thing you should look at. But a lot of people like to act like there’s an infinite number of adaptable babies out there, but very few people voluntarily give up a healthy baby never to see it again.

YIMBYism isn’t opposed by the right yet. I haven’t really seen much right wing addressing of it outside being anti lumpenproletariat and pro car csbtrism. It’ll definitely be an uphill battle if they were to go yimby but I think there’s a chance

I’m curious how a hive mind would compare to the existing emergent social mind. I imagine often a hive mind would just be like if you let a friend group, social clubs, or corporation speak.

Cleveland is underrated as a city

Also the great lakes form the US north coast

At first I thought that lesbian bracelet was an Austrian one in which case you would have something to repent for
