Yeah, nah, I'm on the side of the government paying for utilities. Human right to electricity. Figure out a system to prevent overuse, but everyone deserves to have heating and cooling when needed.

That said, definitely wear a sweater in the winter if you can. Acclimate to the season and you'll hate going outside a lot less, and need less heating in the winter. I typically don't heat most of my home in the winter (I don't have central heating). I just use a space heater in whatever room I'm in, and move it to the next room with me, and wear warm clothes. I'm in Tennessee, which routinely gets well below freezing in the winter. Not ideal, but it works

Some people also don't have physical disabilities or family members with them, and it really shows. Bikes are great, and we absolutely should be encouraging bike use, but the automobile is, frankly, a necessity for millions of people. We shouldn't be getting rid of wheelchairs, either. I swear, sometimes I feel like the fuck cars community is basically anprim. Yes, fuck cars, yes fuck car culture, but jimminy crickets they're not evil. Our use of us them.

Joke's on you. I've been slowly building up an immunity to iocaine powder for years.

The town I lived in about a decade ago had a closed down blockbuster that turned into a sex store, then that closed down, and a dude opened, I shit you not, a video/game rental place that lasted like a year. Then it closed down, too, and then a bunch of us used to go there and smoke weed and occasionally have sex inside, because they just didn't bother to lock the back door when they took away all the movies.

I don't know why I'm tell y'all this, it's just what I think of when I see the old blockbusters.

I love how it just expands and expands so much you can't even tell what the look on his face is anymore.

If you have a gurdwara in your area, they often do free meals, almost like a restaurant. Baptist churches tend to have dinners on Wednesdays, and the Hare Krishnas are always good for some heavily dairy vegetarian foods. I wish more people knew this.

What are the odds this fella doesn't get CIA'd soon?

Honestly, this should be tagged NSFW. I'm having very impure thoughts about Picard now. Shame on you for posting this smut and temptation.

Wait until they figure out they can buy the cake mixes, and it's possible to make your own cakes, with as much extra stuff as you want. I once made a cake with embedded cookies, and a peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I regret nothing.

Normally this type of joke lands well with me, but that's my least favorite euphemism for gay sex, as a gay man. Just gross. :/

Not just expensive, they're also environmentally unsound! They use more power to charge, more plastic for casing. Hooray?

Capitalism.
