Cyber eyes. I have thick glasses and a lot of floaters, so many that I cannot even tell if my glasses are clean or not most of the time.
But naturally they’d need to look natural and be with zoom, infrared, night vision, a camera function and a video playing function (no wireless functions though).
A water bottle with a sport cap is a sufficient travel bidet.
Even with a bidet that paper sucks. Drying off you ass with it leaves so much paper crumble everywhere that you’ll need the bidet again…
Because it is not always possible… Also, take your time to clean the sink afterwards or you might get in trouble with you SO (I am speaking out of experience).
Weirdly enough I got way better at night driving post-40.
Stuff hurts more than it used to.
Get a hobby. You’ll always need/want stuff if you become a photographer or a fisherman or a pnp-player or a …
Yeah, but you still have to differentiate between teenagers trying out their borders and pathological cleptomania.
Id say easily half of my high-school class had a shoplifting phase.
Yeah, but I’d aggree with MissJinx. Lots of teenagers occasionally shoplift. But stealing a significant amount of money from your brother is imo defintly a big red flag.
Still, going open with it is a really great step imo. But I’d also say, that if you ever again feel that urge, professional help would be a good idea.
I am uncertain what I want. I kinda like what lemmy is now. I don’t really want it to become mainstream. On the other hand I want the corporations to fail and lemmy is the best chance we have.
The thing is, this is imo the most problematic problem of democracy. It is also not an age thing.
Political leaders normally don’t stay long in any specific office. E.g. most finance ministers are just finance ministers for a few years. If they survive one term that is long. During the term they are oftentimes planning their follow up career in the private sector. This can takes up more of their efforts than national politics.
It is even worse in local politics. Many mayors of large cities are already planning their career in national politics. They don’t care about what happens to the city once they switched over.
So, I wouldn’t limit myself to “old politicians”, because they might die before seeing the consequences of their fuck ups. Young politicians also almost never see consequences for their fuck ups, because they will have moved on before it gets problematic. The politicians know that!
This is a much larger problem than your question let it seem to be, it is imo the biggest problem democracy in itself inherently has.
Rule limits actually make this worse, because it leads to short term thinking. But not having a rule limit is also not an option as it opens up roads to autocratic behaviour.
I work in local infrasrtructure management now and worked in science before. I despice politicians, be they young or old. We administrators are constantly fighting them to keep our city/country livable (and we lose more than we win).
Ah okay, I thought this Caretaker government turned into a somehat working stopgap. Okay, so, everyone, ignore my comment on Belgium. :)
As someone from “outside the US”: It isn’t much better elsewhere. Italy has a fascist government, France is fucking up everything, Sweden has a governemnt depending on a borderline fascist party, the Netherlands has borderline fascists as part of the government, in Germany open fascists poll at 20% as the 2nd most popular party (elections are next month), Georgia is on the brink of civil war, Korea is in a utterly weird crisis/coup mode, in the middle east we are having a genocide happening, Sudan is in chaos, and so on and on.
On the bright side: Things appear to be somewhat okay in Spain and Belgium seems to have a somewhat half-working government.

Yeah. Sweden Democrats or the state of danish social democrats? Left wing?
I am also more of a lurker, but try to comment occasionally to get into the statistics. (Done for this week!)
I left it on my phone for a long time. Then I started to get worried about it not being maintained.
Just supported the project with a few €. He apparently collected 133.019 CA$. So the immediate future is looking good for that project (he aimed for 50.000).
Participations are still open for everyone who wants to support it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelfed/pixelfed-foundation-2024-real-ethical-social-networks?ref=ksr_email_backer_pledge_collection_successful
Also don’t forget to support the lemmy project!
