I'm definitely in the minority of this. And I'm not saying that anybody else feels this way. But it's been kind of nice with how slow kbin.social updates the hot section. It's definitely made it so that way I consume way less news. And I'm not checking My phone is much. Not saying you should stay that way, just saying that it's been an interesting benefit for me personally.

My partner is a teacher and we spend around $200 a month just on snacks for their classroom (snacks have to be individually packaged, and there's 36 kids per class, so that's 72 snacks a day, Because the kids have a morning snack and an afternoon snack.) Even with donors, choose PTA and other groups. We just know that there's a certain amount of our income each month that's going to go too supporting her classroom. It sucks but we have accepted it, because by us not doing that the kids are just going to suffer.

There's a really cool episode of the podcast Factually touching on what you're talking about.

(Side note, I've never seen this website but I really dig that it has question and answer summaries on the bottom. That was super cool.)

Edit: also, as somebody who is disabled who can't lean forward without intense pain, these wheelchairs would be hell.

These are the same cops that were going around in unmarked vans picking up protesters in 2020. Fucking PPB is a bunch of white supremacist, white nationalist, alt-right bastards. There's even an article about how they had snipers on the roofs during the protest, and gave shelter to the proud boys, and false reports about a shooting where a guy shot five protesters. War crime Wheeler and the entire PPB need to be held accountable for their actions.
