Are these leaves or something else? Is you said "something else," you're right! They are sea slugs called Elysia chlorotica, which use sunlight and CO2 , much like plants.

Household cookware in an era of enshittification

Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still wort

[18kgold]

Centre Lane Partners, a private equity firm, owns Pyrex, Corelle, CorningWare, Snapware, Visions, Chicago Cutlery, Instant Pot, Anchor Hocking, Lenox, Oneida, and Reed & Barton. That is almost all of the surviving legacy American tabletop industry under one roof, and we'll come back to it, because that story is a doozy.

Can't emphasize enough that it's very worth your while to hunt through estate sales, other people's parents' basements, etc. for anything you use in the kitchen or dining room. My stuff -- dishware, pots and pans, food processor, etc. -- is all in good condition and will be forever... because it's mostly pre-1980s. Even my ware from the '90s is better-made than anything 21st-century. My Pyrex measuring cups are all slightly chipped at the edges, but they're my grandmother's, and going strong otherwise; I'm still using fourth-hand Revere Ware because the quality's solid.

What to buy instead: The counter-list in this category runs deeper than any I've covered previously, because cookware is simple enough that stubborn, family-run businesses can still compete. The pattern in who survived is uniform: nobody outside the family has ever been owed a return.

Very good resource if you must buy new!

also just want to put emphasis on the fact that people with psychotic disorders aren’t scary and 99% of the time they are the victims and not the perpetrators (that doesn’t mean that they can’t be, just that it’s statistically more likely that they’ll be taken advantage of)

So please, give grace and empathy to that person on the street experiencing hallucinations and shouting at the sky, or your family member or friend who’s latched onto a delusion that’s difficult to deal with.

It can be terrifying to be that person, and the best thing we can ever do for them is treat them with kindness and patience.

surprisingly forward-thinking of jim henson and co. to make a female character in the 70's that's allowed to be loud-mouthed and violent and kind of overwhelmingly romantic and even a huge bitch at times and not have a moment where any character asks her to change

[ankle-beez]

going through all the muppet movies in a row made me realize that like. miss piggy was made in the 70's. and it's so rare even today to have a character like her. she's loud, she's selfish, she's funny, she's extremely vain, she's obsessed with romance, she's violent, she's kind of annoying, and there's not a single moment in any of these films where she's asked to tone down any of these personality traits. i am not joking when i say that miss piggy might be one of the best treated female characters ever written

Trapped between being militantly pro-choice and deeply concerned about the erosion of abortion rights and thinking the way that people talk about pregnancy/motherhood/children on this hellsite is pretty gross and borderline misogynistic.

[coyote-barks]

To expand on this a bit more, at the risk of sounding like That Guy, a lot of people on here don't seem to realize the right to choose to have children has been something that's been forcibly taken away from people as well. I live in an area with a pretty large Native population, a group that has, historically and even to this day, been subject to forced sterilization. They're not the only ones, either. Other ethnic minorities, disabled people, etc have all been subject to eugenics and had their reproductive rights undermined in the other direction to promote what dominant society considers a """pure""" population. Even a lot of the modern anti-abortion movement still disproportionally favors making more white people above all else. Saying that not having children is always the right choice and that keeping a child is always the bad, regressive choice, frankly, comes from a position of privilege. Like everything else, it depends.

Pro-choice goes both ways, and everyone should have the right and medical support behind whatever option they choose without discrimination. Simple as.

And can we please stop this over-the-top disgust over the bodies of pregnant people please please please y'all are so happy to defend all sorts of disabilities but then dissolve into a misogynistic froth when pregnancy comes up

[killlyourproducer]

sistersong women of color reproductive justice collective's definition of reproductive justice as: the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities

reproductive justice is a critical framework and social justice movement that goes beyond the "pro choice/pro life" false dichotomy to champion the experiences and needs of women of color in regards to reproductive rights and healthcare. the colorblind liberalism that underscores pro choice approaches to reproductive rights— that is, that abortion is the only reproductive rights issue and that all reproductive injustice can be solved through abortion rights— leaves out women of color, disabled people, and trans people, who have expansive reproductive justice needs

The death of credible government is darkly hilarious in a cosmic sort of way. Obviously, the FDA is useless now. Therefore, we must place our trust in more credible institutions, such as Taco Bell, which has been far more transparent and proactive in handling this parasite business.

More game devs need to understand the following concepts:

There is a finite amount of memory on any given device.

No matter how good your game is, players will want memory for other things on their devices.

Not everyone has a stable internet connection so making single player games needing an internet connection is not good.
