I parboil my rice for 5 mins and then wash them before cooking after reading a UK guide that said it might reduce arsenic and heavy metals.

• Filling up my pantry with shelf stable/dry goods.
• New stock of seeds for the next couple years.
• grains and seeds for chicken feed
• ammo

That sounds safe

I’ve lost interest in all cars made after 2014, what with the surveillance and all.

Children are not dumb. Talk to them and answer their questions honestly in a way that won’t make them more worried. Talk through any plans you think they should be aware of. And most importantly, listen to them, a child that feels safe and secure with their caregivers will tell them what’s bothering them at random times, like during play.

It is in the USA, there is a standard hole that they attach to.

Its not as easy as replacing a lightbulb but about as easy as upgrading PC components.

I don’t have any first hand experience outside of the USA. But from global news it sounds like this is a global trend in places like germany, France, Italy, most of south america, Africa, and Asia too.

Maybe I should say that you should align with friends based on your moral principles rather than politics.

If you haven’t noticed the USA is in the middle of a fascist auto-coup.

So it’s not exaggeration. I’ve had to cut ties with members of my family. Because they believe some people are sub humans that don’t deserve rights or that regions of the globe should be purged.

Not to diminish your position however, I think the problem you are describing is caused by having a lack of a social safety net, not a reason to cut free from one.

Humans are a social animals, and we are more likely to thrive as a community than as rugged individuals.

If I have to explain to anyone that genocide is wrong and that human rights are good. Or if I find someone votes to promote genocide or reduce human rights. Then they are not my friend.

I might try to talk in good faith to them, I might attempt to negotiate with them, i might even exchange pleasantries with them. But they will never have my full confidence.

I do not have to “get along” with a fascist.

If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

I don’t think this is bad advice. However I don’t think that it should be limited to just men.

Also I think the group should align politically and be able to support each other in solidarity. They could also use meeting time to plan resistance to fascist regimes.

However there are quite a few people (I am mostly thinking of men I know) that tend to isolate themselves from friends when they need help the most or once they get into a romantic relationship. This is probably not just a men’s issue however.

Holy shit that’s crazy. Why doesn’t Australia have toilets that you can remove from the floor? If you want to replace a toilet you gotta beat it with a mallet?

Don’t tell me how to treat my ass!
