I want to live in a world where all women feel completely safe running around stark naked.

Yeah, I ain't putting up with that either. People can have their beliefs, but getting my head screwed on straight was a hard fought, lifelong journey. I cannot go back.

A rather free love friend of a friend was trying to fuck guys from every sign of the zodiac, and she hadn't gotten to Cancer yet. As an amateur astronomer now, and a child who was raised by a lunatic into all sorts of woo, I declined on principle.

Look, have your fun. But woo is a relationship red flag for me. You cannot remind me of my mother if you want me turned on. I haven't gotten laid countless times. I don't need or want sex that badly. I desire someone I can trust to keep a firm grasp on reality.

Yeah, I'm fine with publicly owned apartments as well, so long as they are held to high living standards and priced to drive down the cost of housing.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm all for the residents of apartment buildings to own the space where they live, collectively.

Alternatively, answer all unknown numbers, immediately hit mute and let them hang.

Rent nothing, minimum wage should enable home ownership.

Seize their data centers in the state.

Who's getting old?

Yeah a community of like minded people is sooo weird.

They grew up in one room houses...

 

I'm not sure where to begin, other than like an outdoor security camera, but that isn't really suitable. I live in a dark sky area in the southwest USA. The skies are gorgeous. I'd like to mount a camera on my roof that can handle night and day, pan 360° and tilt from the horizon to directly overhead to capture sunsets, sunrises, and thunderstorms, take time lapses and long exposures, capture star trails, meteors, and the Milky Way, and if I'm feeling greedy, it'd be nice to detect moving objects in the sky and get images of those. It doesn't need to take deep images of planets and galaxies. It should pan, tilt, and track to capture vistas; and withstand heat, light, dust, and moderate rain. I want local storage, not cloud services.

I have no idea if this exists or how much it would cost. My budget is modest. Haven't been able to find anything that fits the bill. Any pointers please?

 

This feels insane. I might have a problem.

So this is the best haul I've seen in a decade or more.

I stopped at a junk shop out in the desert. Lots of tools, road signs, furniture, glass, pots, southwestern lawn art, etc. Lots of stuff in sad condition. This is not a curated antique market. An older lady runs the place, said she buys auction lots and resells them here. Inside was just piles of barely sorted everything, lots of shelves, and not far from the front door I spy records. I'm wary. They're stacked vertically and haphazardly. And I hate sand. It gets everywhere. She says these are $1 each, and has no idea what they are, so I get to sifting.

It's mostly hip hop and funk, but that ain't all. A bunch of it is VG+, in sleeves! Funkadelic, Mos Def, Sza, Kid Cudi, Earthgang, Bernard Wright, OutKast, Nas, Tribe Called Quest... There's a Cage the Elephant, Mac DeMarco, Fleet Foxes too, and a bunch of stuff I have no idea about.

But then I pulled out this. No protective sleeve, but I've got those, and it's pristine inside and out. No way does the Star Blazers soundtrack have any business sitting around a desert junk shop in excellent condition for $1.

I gave her $40 and didn't even bother counting how many I grabbed. No, I ain't saying where. I'm going back.

It's certainly dissonant. If there ain't metal versions of this, somebody screwed up.

 

Amazon sent me this one by mistake a while back and it looked interesting, so I kept it. I haven't listened to it til now.
