It’s funny that we buy these metal and glass phones and then protect them with rubber and plastic cases.

New phones are made to show wear so that they lose resale value.

It hypes investors. Investors are the customers.

I want AOC on the ticket.

• Pwm flicker should be regulated on all LED devices, from smartphones to household bulbs and car turn signals.
• Price displayed is exactly what you pay. With tax, no credit card or smartphone surcharge or “cash discount”
• Tip screen on POS cash registers is displayed before you swipe/tap your card, not afterward.

This should be a national law.

Not an ounce of athleticism in Ted Cruz’s body.

Which isn’t a disqualifier for his position. But since it’s Ted fucking Cruz we’re talking about, it’s fair game. He might be the only person on the planet who looks less intimidating with a beard.

Maybe he should stay in his fucking lane. Hope you Texans can help him figure that out in ten days.

Oh. So the problem is the people who have been in the workforce all of two fucking years and who are likely so low ranking that they are nowhere in any position to make a difference even with their own work schedule.

Not the people who have been in charge for decades, dragging their feet, misleading, buying/funding shit candidates, gaming the market, and who still openly deny climate change.

Fuck outta here.

Live below my means, invest the rest.

I don’t dress or act like people in my pay range. My house is small and in a quiet neighborhood and cost less than my salary. Car is older but paid off and I know all the quirks and have the toolbox in the back to fix it. It is probably one of the top 5 most reliable cars in history. My work dress shoes are 10 years old and my around the house shoes were new in 2019.

I spend my money where I spend my time. So I have a nice phone, a very nice monitor and mechanical keyboard, and a good computer. And all with the right to repair philosophy. Same for my wife and kids. And also good running shoes, good exercise equipment.

The plan is to get to a point where I can just not work at all and maintain my lifestyle. Three percent rule and all that. And also help launch my kids.

Something about a 25 year roof and a Japanese shit box car in my fortress of solitude.

FWIW I grew up really really really poor like you wouldn’t believe so I’m okay with this.

The town of Chimney Rock is gone.

No hyperbole.

It’s gone.

I guess the world burning was worth sticking it to Kamala for Gaza.
