That is because we live in a system of private property something that didn't exist for most of reality. We had personal property and the commons. If you live in the system you gotta follow the rules or get screwed.

From 2 years ago today.
Its so weird, when I was financially unstable before this new pay raise, I would spend more than I should then beat myself up for it. Now that I have a plan to get out of debt and no longer have to stress out about money, I have to remind myself I can afford to do something. Not being stressed about money makes impulse buying so much less a thing and impulse control is held in check. Maybe we need to stop blaming people for how they spend their money, and realize that people when put under stresses are less rational when it comes to spending creating a psychological trap they can't get out of. My spending habits have switch 180 degrees and I now have the head space and look back on financial behaviors that were terrible ideas, but the stress made them sound reasonable. Money truly can buy happiness, just up until your needs are met and you have enough to help others out too.

Well, I can switch to a flip phone, or I can try to struggle my way through a carrier like USCellular (actually impossible to trace), or I can stick with my Pixel, that defaults to a keyboard that knows what app I'm using, rendering even Signal's P2P 256-bit useless.

Yeah, I try to switch keyboards....

Even the hackiest of hackers can't keep everything under wraps. it can't be done.

We need dogged legislators who understand code and the international order.

“The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into ‘Car Wash Mode’ before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle.”

It's fractally bad. It's bad at first glance, and then every level of closer inspection reveals new dimensions and magnitudes of failure.

This is a self-parodying vehicle. Absolutely fascinating to me that this could even get made, let alone that people would continue to defend it.

i had a shitty stainless steel clad travel mug that was HAND WASH ONLY, the first time i ran it through the dishwasher the glue dissolved and it fell apart. They made a giant fucking travel mug and put wheels on it

If a donor is maxed out with 45* and then donates to a candidate who kicks back to him, is that a campaign finance violation?

Yeah, but what do you do when they DO do it better? My ex ALWAYS re-washed the dishes after I washed them, and it drove me crazy. But she was a perfectionist, and couldn't stand dirt and disorder, whereas, me, I'm just like Pigpen in Peanuts.

Step four: move army into Rafah where 1.2 million civilians are sheltering

Fear and lies spread fast.

But truth and love root deep.

There is a path forward ... but we are programmed not to see it, rather to fear it.

Well that was quick. By 51-48-1, Senate votes that article one of the impeachment is unconstitutional because it contains no high crimes or misdemeanors. In agreement were all Democrats and all three Independents. Sen. Murkowski (R-AK) voted “present”.

Sen. Schumer moves that article two is also unconstitutional for the same reason - no high crimes or misdemeanors. First motion to prevent a vote on the Schumer motion is up now. Expect this round of votes to go about the like the ones for article one.

Just got a fraud alert text from Chase. “MCAFEE” charged $0.11 to my credit card. It was probably some sort of trial balloon transaction to see if I would flag it before the spammers racked up a bunch of charges.

This sort of theft is financial vandalism that we all pay for. It pisses me off.

Speaking of tofu, Pailin from Hot Thai Kitchen has a banger tofu episode in which she lets loose several tofu rants I agree with:

- in most of Asia, tofu isn’t a meat alternative
- tofu is often cooked with non veg items
- people who try to ‘make it like chicken / steak’ have no idea what they’re doing
- if you think tofu is horrible, I’m sorry you’ve not had great tofu and tofu dishes

Pailin is awesome, I’ll definitely watch this one. I have eaten a lot of tofu, but I always ended up liking the outside marinade best. Which is a shame.

And rants from knowledgeable people are always nice to watch. Thanks!

in reply to Adrianna Tan

This is legit - our son's partner made us dinner once which I thought was some kind of fake meat, but they had just frozen the tofu and then done some very talented spicing. I'm not a fan of tofu generally, but I was shocked at how good it was.
