And changing minds is difficult, and by all accounts requires kindness and understanding rather than blame and dehumanizing.
I get frustrated with how most outspoken people on the left seem to take the easy answer of "they're evil!" when talking about people who disagree with them
I tag mostly for humor, things I think are funny, unique traits about a person that I've noticed are a pattern. Some examples
FYI for anyone not in the know, this is the Good Good Good Newspaper advertised by Hank Green
It only consists of "good" news and is very uplifting - generally every print edition features some kind of theme like "animals" or "medicine" or "art"
If you can afford to support, I think it's a great way to encourage more uplifting news in our world
Depends on your charisma stat...
This some 18INT nerd shit
In my mind, charisma is easily the hardest one to improve. The rest you can grind out or get better with age but Charisma is tough
I think mine would be around average in most:
I would probably focus on Intelligence and Wisdom, but I think having a higher charisma would be also be very nice
My advice would be to treat investing in unique assets - like shares in one company or Cryptos - as gambling: only put in what you're willing to lose. Anything you can't afford to lose should be saved or put into index funds with lower risk and volatility.
You just cannot know what an asset will do in 6 months. You can have a really good guess, but at the end of the day it's still a guess. And that guessing is even more difficult when it's a non-productive asset like Bitcoin, because then you're just gambling on vibes. There isn't much logic to Bitcoin's price besides "what if" and FOMO.
So yes, if you can afford to lose the money, you can leave it in. But if that money going to zero overnight would impact your quality of life or ability to absorb unexpected expenditures, then liquidate.
And on a more personal note, you're probably better off having the drone you want than flipping a (digital) coin and hoping it's heads
The asset price spikes when lots of buying happens, not selling. If more buys are occurring, then sellers are able to sell their assets for more (simple supply and demand). A spike up in price means more buying (lower supply).
It's comments like this that almost make me miss reddit gold
NordVPN on the same level as Arch? No way

I got an Elgato capture card and a VCR off of EBay and have already digitized three tapes I've found at garage sales.
Any advice for cleaning up the image and audio? I recall there were VCR cleaners but never was confident of their efficacy.
Hey all, I've created a catio (cat patio) for my two cats in a window well next to my desk. They absolutely love it, but I would like to make it even better for them by using real grass. Currently, I have a pretty good artificial grass in there that they love to lay in and stays green year 'round, which is fine enough. But I would really love to give them some real grass (or moss) to lay on and maybe even munch on.
So, with that backstory, I would love to find a grass that has the following traits.
It would also be a bonus if it were okay with more arid climates, because I would prefer to minimize watering as much as possible.
My mind goes to something like Spanish Moss since it stays relatively short and is pretty comfy, but I'm not sure if that's the best option, so I wanted to ask people more experience than me.
Picture of the window well in its current state and one of its occupants for reference below.
And for anyone concerned, the well is closed in with a grate and some chicken wire so they can't slip out. They are not outdoor cats, but we do take them out on harnesses for walks. They are treated for pests like tics and mites as a precaution.
Thanks anyone who answers!
I guess on some level there's something wholesome about it being a gardening game. I wonder how much of the success is owed to the natural human inclination towards farming
