Believe you me, I've been trying for years. Tribalism runs too deep in the human condition for there to be any obvious fix.
Maybe not, but they definitely did with television.
I personally find the children's poems of Maurice Sendak creepy, but I think that's intentional. To my mind, it's Carol King singing "Chicken Soup with Rice" all cheerful that's misreading the vibe.
Defiance, OH – "The New World Order"
Written about the Bush presidency, but it's hitting a little too hard right now.
Sh, it just works

You and me both.
Did we have another outage / rollback? Some comments seem to be missing.
... and I'm getting notifications about replies I saw a week ago.
I traveled a thousand miles by bus but it was direct with only one "rest" stop and it was also overnight. Went to sleep on my way out of one city, woke up on my way into another.
I've also done longer trips with multiple stops and changing busses. I brought a book. It was fine.
When you've got less money and more time, it's a good option to have.
I have blocked nothing, but then I like a few shitposts in the feed. Keeps it spicy.

Is federation that good?
Not from within the "comment reply" action, sadly.
The law does not currently prevent me from doing anything I want to do.

I wasn't sure, I'm in the Ask muni on both.
Really only bothers me if I ask hey are kids welcome at this event and the reply is "Fuck no!"
Huh. I'll check it out, their series on pasta was really good.

users on their instance, not users from their instance. This account is from midwest.social but currently commenting on... uh, lemmy.world, right?
And the blue area is definitely "commute by boat", btw.

Which part of a PB&J is the meat, and which is the condiment?
My work is organizing right now, this afternoon, and I don't know what I'm doing. What are the best practices? What are the pitfslls?
I work in a restaurant, high-end, multiple locations across the US. We are in Chicago, specifically. We have corporate in for the week as we launch a new menu with training for the whole team every day. Yesterday, second day, right before the end of the day, they sprung on us that they are changing our pay structure.
I have minor concerns but some of my coworkers have major ones. We met beforehand today to get united in our talking points. We raised them at the meeting with the corpos and though the bosses were clearly pressured and made (verbal) concessions, they would not acknowledge our concerns.
We had another off-premises meeting just now where we agreed to all skip the (technically optional) training meeting tomorrow while each sending the same written message through the official, and public, communication channel. We will still show up for our actual scheduled shifts.
Where I feel we're strong:
- We're asking to keep the status quo rather than make a change. All we want is
ABC News: Chicago police tweak mass arrests policy ahead of Democratic National Convention
How do we feel about this? Article makes it sound like there will be a greater emphasis on deëscalation and oversight, but is that enough of a change?
I stopped telling "Yo Mama" jokes because they were déclassé.
Now I tell Yo-Yo Ma jokes, which are much classier.
Was Orange Chicken named after William of Orange, or the other way around?
What are your favorite non-Classical Stoic media?
I saw a post recently about how the family cartoon Bluey was very good at showcasing Stoic behavior, even though it wasn't labeled as such. What are your favorite novels, essays, songs, or movies that showcase Stoicism in the modern or postmodern eras?

Is Dune isekai?
Paul is transported to another world where he doesn't know the rules and has to start over in a strange land. He befriends the locals, goes on adventures, becomes their leader, and eventually saves the planet.
What do we think?
I use a to-do list to remember important tasks. But if I am anxious about a task, just looking at the list triggers my anxiety.
Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there's no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

If you're interested in gardening or ecology, the entire Solarpunk instance (slrpnk.net) is full of great munis for you:
And I think the following is a comprehensive list of cycling munis:
