Of note. The paneling from this era is actually wood, not Masonite. You can flip it over and use it as 1/8” smooth ply, depending, for those of you into recycling materials.

The furniture is great. If not wood, it’s still paint worthy. The hexagon end table is a great item in any color. If it’s paint grade, you can slap a little bondo in any dings, paint, poly, and it will likely last another 30yrs.
It’s more than that. Those colors were chosen to hide the ever-present, persistent glaze of nicotine stain over everything. There were no white walls back then, only shades of “cream”, “ecru”, and “off-white” because no shade of true white could exist in that persistent haze of cigarette smoke.
If you ever took over a house from the 70s you’d note the amber brown drips down the kitchen wall after making spaghetti or heating a tradition tea kettle on the stove. Or after a shower in the bathroom. Scrubbing, priming, and painting would help, and then you’d make another pot of spaghetti and see another amber sludge nicotine drip from somewhere on that wall.
To this day I cannot abide beige, any rendition of off-white, or pale yellow. They’re all shades on the nicotine glaze color palette.

Trump needs "space," Johnson says10·1 day agoThere are a couple Republican threads hyper focused on some “Obama written” Russian files thing. And how Hillary’s emails have only “scratched the surface”.
No idea. Except it sounds like they’re grasping at straws of distraction. Even so, the Repub people are eating it up.
Pedophiles near to always try to rationalize their predatory impulses with a heavy sprinkling of blame the victim, or anything other than themselves.
If you engage one of them in therapy, it’s the mental equivalent of trying to grab onto one of those old “water weenie”s. They were “lured” by that “crafty” child. She’s an “old soul” and knows how to play men. The old soul bit is a repetitive theme. Maybe they have bad genes. They were abused and now can’t help but to pay it forward. If the system would give them a therapist who was any good then maybe they could actually stop. Those that do get there and admit the full horror of their past actions will often try to suicide or self mutilate.
I don’t see the dipshits who post that it’s “natural” or “to look at history” as much different.
We are in an era that has, for the last 50 yrs, decided that women & girls are people, not property. Slavery was wrong. And so was tying women to men as property. And so is marrying a child. And so is marital rape of that child.
“Looking at history” can only be done through the lens of property, not people, and that is disgusting. Entitled, horrific & disgusting.
There’s a mad flail happening, to be sure, because a subset of old men caught in inertia from prior ages keep spewing this crap at their boys who then grow up thinking entitled things alongside an irrational avoidance of therapy and therapeutic paths. Or rich men who are simply entitled. The Venn diagram here though, between the two, is almost fully overlapped.
It’s a feature of pedophilia that they try to rationalize to themselves and anyone who will listen.

Deficit is a major piece. They talk about it and then invariably increase it every time.
RNC lowers taxes, technically, but only ever in a way that hurts working class. DNC leave it all as is, never changing the bottom line.

That said Lemmy still lacks the small, niche subs, which are still ok over there due to small numbers.

Zephorah@discuss.onlineto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. wants to change program that stopped vaccine makers from leaving US marketEnglish0·4 days agoIt’s as I keep saying. They’re looking to purge the working class. They must be or annihilating current and future vaccines wouldn’t be on the table.
Vaccines are the cheapest, laziest, no brains or effort required heath care. As such, vaccines are some of the most effective health care. Set and forget.
If you’re there for a bag of brown sugar or a carton of half and half self checkout makes sense.
I’ve used scanners outside of this retail environment and I know how to pack both a vehicle and a box well. But the awkward height, shape, configuration of self checkout and its bags or lack thereof turns me into a fingerless, blind man trying to use a calculator.
