You're never going to be a hack writing sensationalist bullshit headlines with that attitude.

VCA is the walmart/amazon/google, etc of the veterinary world. My **** told me they had to do battle with them in *****. Fortunately for them, they were sitting on valuable real estate and were very popular with their neighbors. My ****'s husband wasn't as fortunate in *****. VCA forced him out of business.

Are these "farmer abuses" in the room with you right now?

Freedom Of Religion also means Freedom From Religion.

I grew up in an abusive family that made me feel like shit every birthday and I hate that for myself. If you want to make me climb out of my skin, fuss over me on my birthday, bring me a cake at work. Watch me puke in the bathroom from the anxiety. Yeah, real mature.

I see switchbacks as engineered trails these days. By that, I mean it is even more challenging to hike where there isn't a lot of interest in hiking and there aren't many curated trails. When I see switchbacks now, I understand someone more knowledgeable than me has put in some serious effort to help guide me along on a more reasonable grade than just bushwhackin straight up the hill. On my bike, switchbacks can be a godsend.

Miracle Mile is a real thing that exists. In Los Angeles. Even when I'm there, it's forgettable.

“We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place.”

Yes, you're taking it directly out of our pockets, jenius.

$2,000 x 350,000,000 people = 700 Billion Dollars btw

Panel 2 misses one of the attractive points of hiking for me: a healthier sense of perspective. When you can experience the vastness of wilderness and realize your relatively microscopic relationship to such an overwhelming scale, you can begin to realize your little rat-race anxieties down below are something you can shed entirely.

Reverse image search shows a bunch, all from the past 24 hours, several of which I can't get to open so there's this garbage:

It can get wide open when there's a multi-county chase and multiple law enforcement agencies are in front of the chase telling everyone to get the hell out of the way.

When I can, I just try to find a real neighborhood joint, for whatever it is, try to support our fellow human beings

@[email protected] Ha, I guess I haven't been on there since its early days. Thanks

The view is the thing you earned. Definitely take it in.

Herzog might give it context

@[email protected] That's a nice interface. Any idea what program or app it is?

I'm trying to figure this out too. Mostly seeing it as posting to the lemmyverse so...

It seems like just an alternative way to experience the platform?

Then again, some folks are posting here from elsewhere in the fediverse.

Yeah, I'm confused but interested in figuring out.
