He’s a drug addict. While I’m all for people overcoming addiction, it should disqualify them from this very specific job.

Those things are the point though…

Note: These types of landlords are renting it out at 3x the cost of their mortgage though.

I moved all my IRA and HSA investments to cash only last week, since I have direct control and theres no fees to reinvest later. 401k will stay untouched, hopefully it exists when I’m ready to retire.

I want mega corps to fail, not spark a great depression.

Liking it so far, much appreciated!

That’s a damn shame. Any other browsers look good on a tablet?

The few of us that aren’t awful are fair sacrifices, please, do whatever it takes to dethrone the maniacs.

I’m an adult who also enjoys fun. 😢

I’m funding the government with my taxes, where’s my control?

My son (8 years old, born and raised in the US) was diagnosed last week. I’m hesitating to let the school know because they’ll lower their expectations, when he’s so curious and clever. Not sure how I’ll navigate it yet, but I (born and raised in Jamaica) know I likely have some form of it too.

But there’s no way to measure if there’s an increase in autism, because in previous generations, it went undiagnosed.

Oh dear.

It will absolutely cost more to do things responsibly.

Everything about human perspective, all physical senses and complex abstract thoughts, are based on pattern recognition. In computer science specifically, those patterns are discrete, absolute, pure (same output for a given input). It’s a tiny tiny representation of the universe with clear rules that can be manipulated easily.

The mind, however, has an infinite number of variables affecting each person differently. Some people naturally pick up on these patterns, we call it empathy. As social herd animals, it helps to understand other people’s general intentions without all the research, so that we can share resources and avoid danger or conflict. Other people don’t have that particular rulebook, but more easily pick up on mathematics or languages, or coding, whatever it may be.

Life at all is ridiculous as a concept, so the fact that not everyone experiences it the same way is a fact, our genes and life experiences makes it impossible to all be the same. So your ability to spark controversy is just people not understanding your set of patterns, while you don’t understand theirs. Its not wrong or right, just a fact. And it’s up to each person to decide how much they want to be able to socialize with any given rules.

If your will to live is to “win” against other people, I’m glad it keeps you going. But surely you can imagine that not motivating everyone?

I have my passkeys saved in 1password. (With a yubikey as backup for important things).
