Doesn't even have to be actual booze. Apple cider vinegar + a drop of dawn dish soap works a treat.

A lot of us have spent our lives masking and suppressing other issues because we were told that all of these issues were due to some kind of inherent badness. "you're so full of capability, if only you weren't so fucking lazy" - on repeat, for years, from everyone you love and trust.

It fucks you up. And when you realize that if literally anyone in your life had taken a step back and helped you get the actual tools you needed (often medication, and occupational therapy) you get so sad and angry at all the waste and internalized self-hatred.

I wasn't diagnosed until after I'd flamed out my first couple semesters at college. First time I took medication after being diagnosed I cried. It's taken more than a decade of therapy to undo most of the damage.

This feels like it attacks the problem at the margins. How is this approach more effective than direct dilution of power and flattening of hierarchies?

It's almost as if fascism and unbridled capitalism have some kind of a mutually beneficial relationship.

Weird.

I feel like everyone forgot what happened last time.

People in unmarked vans with no identifying patches or badges, just fatigues, grabbing people off the streets at night in the northwest.

Even worse than the official fascists, the unofficial ones who were emboldened to act with impunity, riding into cities and inciting violence. Attempting to run Kamala's bus off the road in 2020 in Texas.

Dems run like they want to lose. Always conceding the arguments of the fascists. Touting the endorsement of monsters like Dick Cheney. The kinds of monsters who made the Republican party what it is today.

If "senior democrats" actually gave a shit about avoiding conflict in the US, they'd actually be fighting for universal voting rights and eliminating FPTP voting.

Honestly it's baffling. They wouldn't have even had to actually do anything. They could have just let a Palestinian-American come up and say generic "we have to do better for the people of Gaza and the people of the world" type of shit and they would have even said that they endorsed Kamala. That's it, and a shitload of people would have been at least able to lie to themselves and say "ok, she'll do something different." But they couldn't even be asked to go through the motions this time.

It's such fucking smooth brained reactionary shit, you don't get to act like Republicans because Republicans will never vote for you, the ones that will are only ever going to do it to not vote for the current fascist, and their policy led to him.

I guess maybe the taste of David Frum's approval is sweeter than winning an election.

A few degrees difference in ambient temperature can drastically affect your exposure times, and god help you if you have a print failure and forget to clean and filter your vat.

As far as model complexity for 3d printing, you absolutely still have those issues, unless you only ever print pre-supported models (which I absolutely love, but aren't ubiquitous.)

I have a pretty heavily customized ender 3 and I don't recommend that to people who don't want 3d printer maintenance as a hobby either to be frank.

I will say though, my issues with resin are never with the machine itself, it's always the material and the specific prints.

I haven't bought one in a year or two, but I don't think there's an equivalent.

I recommend something like a Bambu for people who want "a printer to supplement their hobby, not be their hobby."

Resin printing is incredibly fucking cool, don't get me wrong, but it's also like a finicky thing, between leveling (if you have an older Saturn like I do), resin temperature, vat film replacement, model cleaning, safe ventilation, and on and on.

If you wanna "set it and forget it" resin is not gonna be that. Probably ever, but definitely in its current form. You're just gonna have to do a lot more post processing than you will with fdm.

All that said, if you're fine with it basically being a hobby that can supplement your other hobbies go for it. I didn't do fdm till after I did resin, and the detail and print quality you'll get out of a even an older tuned resin system is in a different universe than what you'll get out of any modern fdm system. But you're gonna pay for it in extra effort and various pita that do not exist with fdm.

(I can rec a Saturn for sure, I have a 2 and I love that thing.)

The Pope?

Believe it or not, also Hamas.

Travel agent saved my ass about 10 years ago when my connecting flight was delayed in air while I was on it. Completely missed the final leg of my journey because of a storm. Middle of the night and she helped me switch everything over and rent a car to drive the rest of the way and even got me upgraded to a more fun one. This was when I was going to a job interview and flying in the night before.

I have seen exactly one yard sign for him.

Ah yes a Wi-Fi shower that requires a connection to a cloud server that will likely be shut down in 3 years when everyone bails because they increased the subscription fee to 25 dollars a month.

Just what the world needs.
