Right. They say a bunch of shit to hopefully get their base out, sometimes it works. But they play dead when it comes time to deliver the big stuff (like paid family leave). Still, 2nd term Biden in a coma from old age would be better than Trump 2nd Term.

The billionaires are just like us folks, they drive honda civics and sleep in 50k tiny homes next to their rockets.

50,000 Square Foot Mansions. Such a waste.

Bought my ridge wallet in 2015 and use it every day. Replaced parts on that sucker a few times bcz the straps wear out and screws come lose and fall out. Only nearly lost it once.

Second iitems are a safety razor handle and brush I got in 2008.

100 percent. I still use reddit but comment very infrequently. If I open a thread and see vile comments I leave, most times I don’t open the comments at all. I am glad reddit bo longer has a strong hold over me.

I actually looked at going back to a flip phone, but figured I would need to carry a camera and a tablet, and all three of those coat more than a new pixel 8. Once reddit is fun died, I use my phone a lot less, and it’s for the better

Turn on, tune in, drop out.

Lab grown diamonds are better than real diamonds and come in colors now. They’re still kinda expensive tho.

I told this to a group of people once and the silence killed me from ever commenting on the situation in a group setting again. A diplomat I am not
🤣

Fucking right. I’m so glad I’m nowhere near that area. I looked at my six months old son and it just breaks my heart all the kids that are terrified right now bcz of power hungry assholes.

Sometimes 2, sometimes 12, avg is about 6 to 7. Meetings, email, and messaging are work.

Live your life my friend. I just had a baby and besides the lack of sleep, it is the most wonderful thing. Good luck!

As someone that just traded in my Sierra 1500 for a Sienna Minivan, I don’t understand why minivans get so much hate. My van is an excellent people mover, can carry a lot of shit, and gets 36MPG. The Tahoe I was looking at doesn’t hold a candle to my van, and uses a lot of expensive gas to boot.

The Anton Ego perspective. I like it!

My 13th birthday in 1993 where I got a SNES bundle with Super Mario World and Mario Kart and two controllers, McDonald’s for lunch, and the we watched the Lion King in theaters. Doesn’t seem like much, but we were a poor family. Best day ever.

I think we need forums to come back. I am beginning to think the Fediverse has a big hole in it. It’s hard to ignore the Zuckerbergs of the world that show up to a poor sys admins house with a bag of money. I think we are going to need a feed aggregator that has a charter that says that profit is not the main focus of the service but supporting a community is , and the community is protected from Ads or Data collection as much as is possible.

“Ad supported” is vehemently against free speech. “Ad supported” makes is so no one can criticize anything.

Yes, people say nasty things online, and I absolutely don’t condone hate speech. But I choose to ridicule and ignore those people instead of banning them.

I drink two cokes a month and that is it. I’d rather do that then drink fake cancer boosted coke. That said I just ate char broiled steak medium done , which would probably kill me faster than those two cokes zero or not.
