What states did you visit?

I’m currently in an apartment so I don’t have one, but when I did I let it all hang out. Let the bush breathe!

My hot take is that there’s an assumption that the employees don’t want to go waaaaayyyyy out to get the carts.

When I worked at whole foods, I loved the outfield carts. I got to get away from the all seeing eye of management for a little bit, sometimes see a sunset, get to breathe some fresh air- and I’d take my time and just say “man, the carts are far out today” if asked.

I know not everyone is like me, but not everyone is unlike me either.

Sometimes I still take a cart to the furthest possible space to give the poor cart worker a damn break.

Going out on a limb and saying “Midwesterner spotted”

Chicagoan checking in- I love that beer

New Belgium is amazing.

1554 is one of my favorites, and I introduced my friend to the Voodoo ranger series and that’s how he left the land of domestic beers.

Thank you for your service. 🫡

Ooooh I want to get into home brewing! I joined the Lemmy community a few weeks ago.

I moved the Chicago for the entertainment industry, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beer here. I would say the difference between PNW and Midwest beers are that PNW likes to go big and bold- high ABV and IBUs. The Midwest likes to make beers that you can drink a lot of (Alagash White is a good one)

There should be a beer equivalent to the movie “Bottle Shock”

75% in fact!

Full disclosure, I’m a Seattle born beer enjoyed so I mainly drink microbrews, or what some folks have told me is “fancy beer”.

My parents moved to the PNW from California in the 80s, and they were amazed at the sheer amount of options. Back then it really was just Bud, Coors, and PBR, but even back then the microbrew scene was budding in Portland and Seattle. My dad would tell me how when they would go back to visit old friends in California, it was either amazing wine of shit beer. People’s minds were blown when they would bring some stuff down from up north to the party.

I think this brings up another good point- some states do MUCH better than others. From what I’ve seen, the best beers come from the West Coast (especially the Northwest), the Mountain West, Midwest, and Northeast.

Someone here said they hated the beers in Texas and yea, like don’t expect a great authentic taco scene in North Dakota. The worst beer I’ve ever had was from Florida.

In multi-fediverse theory, there are infinite fediverses where any and every possibility of fediverse exists.

Imo the old Macintosh design is the 1969 VW Beetle/ bus of computers. ✌️☮️🌼

Well that wasn’t very Mr. Rogers of you, please be kind here.

Ah, still this wouldn’t really apply because the workers/ people don’t own this mode of production because, so they can’t give it up.

The people you are thinking of are the ~400 individuals who own the means of product, and you are correct that they won’t willingly give that up.

Also “Does that mean the people want to give up the means of production?” assumes the people own the means of production which would be communism and/or anarchism. Not sure what they think the means of production is or if it’s just a buzzword they hoped to toss in there.

I think the point was to have it as a mental exercise. Personally I’d be fine with it. My main issue with China is the entire genocidal surveillance ethnostate with little to no civil liberties and full restricted speech. If it opened up to allow criticism of the government, protests, protection of LGBTQ folks and legal marriage, I’d be more on board.

But yes, that’s not the China we see today and likely never going to see in our lifetimes.

Can’t trust people. People listen to Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. Can’t trust em.

Yea, I made a post to my people to come to the fediverse. While we have capitalist and communist forums, ultimately the fediverse sits in the anarchist camp.

I like it because I’m suspicious of tankies and hate musk fucks. A nice 3rd option.

I said

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over

Mine is kinda stupid- self employed musician taking two and a half weeks off to be home for Christmas, nye, and my mom’s birthday. November was an excellent month for me, but December was slightly sub par. I’m not gonna starve when I get back, but I’m going to need to hustle like mad.
