The sap from all of these cause terrible blisters when it gets on you and sunlight hits it

Dang. That’s a much better spelling. I was trying to figure out how to type it without it just saying bags.

I’m not talking about plastic household pipes though - I was clarifying that they are more common than copper now on new builds. NA pipes are PEX from what I’ve been able to dig up.

Garden hoses - my main focus in my comments - are still made out of PVC

Christ, that’s a hell of an instance name.

I’m not middle eastern, but plastic pipes are really common in new builds in north america now too. Garden hoses are largely made out of PVC so the same risks apply

How am I being obtuse? Eat citations:

Plastics are bad for us, no matter how you slice it. Even seemingly stable ones carry risk

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it

I was making a shitty joke, though it seems to have a grain of truth more recently.

I don’t know enough about the red scare to really comment on it. McCarthyism didn’t really happen in my country as much as it did in the US.

Coopting and infiltration of labour movements were partly responsible, but more so outsourcing/global competition (as you mention) and changes in dominant economic sectors played a big role too. On top of that retirement of former union members - those that saw what the benefits of unions were first hand - also cut down union interest gave corporations more power.

Damn right I do! Last time he broke into my house and started doing DMT under my bed with Bruce Lee

What a lot of people fail to realize is that mining and other blue collar industries were traditionally very left-leaning because capitalists would take away all their rights, pay them in scrip, etc. The companies only cared about the Almighty dollar (and still do), but were way less regulated than they are now. Those regulations are the result of unions, worker uprising etc.

It’s supremely. Ironic to see workers in these industries now do an about face, because Joe Rogan told them to. An over simplification, sure, but the point remains.

Ow. My feeling (singular). I hope you liked the post anyway

I do post a lot, and in frantic spurts before life pulls me away.

I also categorically don’t care. Crucify me if you will. A lot of artists put their signatures in the comics themselves. I don’t have the willpower or desire to go on a hunt just to shitpost.

Now with more pixels

I post way too much to do that.

Bruh, I robbed it off of another feed - they didn’t share source. Thanks for the link though

Unrelated, but I saw this headline, and could hear both you and squidward swearing from here.

Mine’s a new car, and it’s like this too, at least from the steering wheel.

It’s a pretty tight nit group. we are pretty live-and-let live. Some granola vibes that aren’t for me, but see the previous sentence about letting live. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a hard core environmentalists, but from the science side rather than the more utopian view the instance takes. I suppose that’s part of the solar punk movement though - they’re optimists about the future in the face of destruction. It’s inspiring and refreshing.

We have our own memes channel, some highly technical channels and some more political/anarchist channels (thus the punk).
