Human waste products I can understand. But how many humans would you need to mulch to get enough blood for a building project? That’s one of the main fluids we usually want to stay inside our bodies.

It won’t fare well for most of us once habitable regions are flooded with climate refugees whose entire life savings and livelihoods have been wiped out.

But that doesn’t matter as long as profits are up in the short term, and it especially doesn’t matter to the handful of people who have hoarded enough resources to last them the next thousand years. They have bunkers and yachts and stuff. They’ll be fine, and they’re the ones deciding policy for the rest of us. Maybe they can make reality television where the rest of us fight hunger games style.

On a totally unrelated note, I’ve heard humans taste like pork.

I can easily imagine that, too. I saw an early concept render that went around a decade ago or so when I worked in a design office, and we half- joked they’d accidentally released a low-poly model by mistake. Or it was some sort of weird joke we didn’t get.

It’s so ridiculous and broken, it has Musk’s fingerprints all over it (and good luck; fingerprints are near-permanent on that ludicrous metal finish they chose.)

It’s a nice sauce for pork dishes, and I hear humans have been called ‘long pork’…

Yeah, that’s what bugs me about this. Dogs deserve for us to treat them better than this. They’ve certainly earned better than this from us.

I am on the outskirts of nowhere and disabled. All my options are big chains. I wish they weren’t – my small town is now all hair salons, Tai Quan Do studios, pubs, florists, and yard or antique shops. No local shops here carry life supplies (food, toiletries , drinks, medicine) except the gas station (in very small quantities).

Blackberry-Honey Mustard Sauce

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins
Yield: Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 (6-oz.) container fresh blackberries
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
1. Bring first 2 ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and mashing berries with the back of a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring often and mashing berries, 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, and pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a blender, pressing with spoon to release juices; discard solids.
2. Add honey and next 4 ingredients to blender; process on low 20 seconds. Increase blender speed to high, and process 30 seconds. With blender running, add oil in a slow, steady stream, processing until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small bowl; cover and chill 1 to 12 hours.

Paying bills is for poor people. Rich people don’t need to do that. How would they stay rich?

It looks like @Kolanaki posted the source further down the thread: it’s the flute part from a piece in the Jungle Book.

I just searched for it a bit, but all the sources I could find (twitter, pinterest, BlueSky) also don’t say where it’s from, except that it’s a flute piece.

In case your wife wants to see more of these like I did, the oldest source I could find was Musical composition with threatening auras (29 photos).

Then again, he submitted a letter from ‘his doctor’ in 2016 that said he tested positive for everything, so it may be best to steer clear.

The damage Rupert Murdoch did to public discourse and society in general – not just in the US, but in the UK, Australia, and elsewhere – will take generations to recover from. That man was a cancer on all of us, and it seems his son is happily taking up the mantle.

The installers for every major software company riddled every single computer with adware. And you needed a compsci degree to get rid of it. Weren’t there lawsuits over that shit, that led to regulations? I remember that happening. It’s not like they were going to stop doing that of their own accord.

I’m to the point that if whatever I’m watching/doing pops an ad at me, I reflexively make a snap judgement on whether I want to continue watching/doing whatever it is. Often the answer is ‘no’ and I’ll just bail entirely.

Next do Amsterdam-style sex worker protection.

Or are innocent, or have yet to even see any trial, so have no conviction (a disturbingly high percentage of people in jails and prisons fit those categories).

I love sharing this link because a lot of this information is little-known, and also the design is elegant: Incarceration in Real Numbers. Be warned, it will suck more of your time than you’ll realise.

Regardless, nobody should have to drown in a place specifically designed to prevent escape. That’s barbaric.

Why is anyone listening to her, though? According to her followers, her vagina should be shooting out babies like an AK when it’s not making sandwiches.

Uh, more like a saddening percentage of the country wants Israel to succeed for their rapture fantasies, and an another significant portion is unaware that’s their goal. They don’t care about Israel, really, only that their doomsday prophesies are fulfilled, so Jesus can come back. A few million brown people dying is just the price to be paid for paradise.

Isn’t this happening? I read that Biden is sending a thousand troops to these areas to help under a federal order that bypasses these boneheaded state officials … unless I misunderstood.
