A_Random_Idiot, to asklemmy in Who's going to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza

Israel, unfortunately.

The whole point of provoking these attacks via their violent oppression is so they can retaliate against Palestine, kill masses of innocents, and build new settlements on Palestinian land when the dust clears.

A_Random_Idiot, to asklemmy in What do you do when you're hungover?

I avoid the hangover all together by drinking smart.

Drink a water between each beer/drink. All it takes, Never had a hangover, regardless of how excessively I imbibed (it also really helps to keep the bill cheaper)

A_Random_Idiot, to asklemmy in How long would you live if electricity for the whole world went out permanently?

I think you misjudge, considering how massively popular fishing became during covid, as one of the only hobbies you could do that was outside and solitary.

A_Random_Idiot, to asklemmy in How long would you live if electricity for the whole world went out permanently?

I think fish wouldnt be as available as you think, since tons of desperate people will use less than ethical means to harvest every edible, living thing from the river systems.

Leaving to massive ecological damage, and possibly massive contamination as well.

A_Random_Idiot, to asklemmy in How long would you live if electricity for the whole world went out permanently?

I think the immediate deaths would all be from people who need electricity to run medical devices.

Followed shortly by people who require refrigerated medication.

Followed by elderly who die from exposure to extreme, unconditioned temperatures.

and that would be in the first, oh, say… week or two.

Then, with fridges full of rotted food, your first major death wave will occur as masses of people lose their absolute goddamn minds in panic and fear and start food riots/try to rob from others/raid big industrial farms/neighborhood gardens/etc, which leads to mass deaths from starvation, exposure, exertion, desperation, and gunshot.

Which will even out after about a week or two.

Then you settle in for the slow burn. 3 months out you’ll have another, comparatively small wave of deaths from people who run out of non-refridgeration requiring medications.

Then another slow burn until manufactured canned goods run out in stores and scavanged homes until a wave of starvation.

All in all, I’d say you’d probably be over the bulk of the mass deaths after 6 months, and with a significantly reduced population… Which will be to the benefit of the survivors, since less people per mile will make farming/hunting easier, and life safer… because while raiders/thieves will always be a overarching concern and safety issue, at this point, most of the desperation should have passed along with most of the desperate.

There will also be, for at least a generation, possibly two, the lingering unspoken understanding that more people than anyone would ever care to count only survived the famines and fall by eating the long pig.

And nothing of value was lost.

A_Random_Idiot, to upliftingnews in Texas bans homeowners’ associations from discriminating against renters who receive federal housing aid

Seriously.

I’d rather live next door to a junkyard of a front yard, than to have some ol biddy come across my house and fine me 500 dollars cause my grass is 1/32 of an inch too tall, and if you strain really hard and look through binocs, you can see the hint of an edge of my garbage cans on the side of my house.

and then, you have to pay, or they can literally take your house from you

fuck HoAs. I will live in a cardboard box next to an open septic field before i live in one.

A_Random_Idiot, to upliftingnews in Texas bans homeowners’ associations from discriminating against renters who receive federal housing aid

I knew there had to be a dystopian take on this for Texas, of all states, to step in and prevent descrimination in HoAs.

And you blew it out of the water, thats probably exactly why. Cant have the poors live to far away cause they’d never be able to come into work and be exploited.
