Great. The new CEO is a clown who has no idea what he's doing. When can we get Pat Gelsinger back?

Honestly, I've had better luck just getting higher quality tea and cutting sugar from morning beverages entirely. (I don't drink coffee, but low quality teas tend to become bitter, which required sugar. Higher quality teas never become bitter)

These days, I'm cutting sugar across the board. Shredded wheat with frozen raspberries tastes better than honey bunches of oats anyways. And the sugar I'm eating is pretty much just for fun, like pie or ice cream. No reason to accidentally ingest 28g of sugar in a breakfast bar that doesn't even taste that good.

Yes, I've dated some. And not having to be assertive 100% of the time is the best, even outside of sex. Relationships should be a balanced thing, where both people take turns doing things. It's very refreshing, but doesn't seem to happen very often.

The hero we need. Every apartment complex has a handful of squeaky doors.

Dude, this piece really vibed with me. And I agree, every time I use AI for something, I feel like my brain is atrophying. It's postmodernism devaluing everything, and making nothing feel important anymore. Why study or learn anything when an AI can explain it? Crypto was turned from a potential tech feature into useless crap. And AI will go down a similar path, because it makes money.

This video is a lecture on modernism vs postmodernism, and why everything is kinda so...fucked up. It's technically a car review, but the reviewer has a degree in literature, and goes off on a really interesting sidebar that I've never really been able to forget since it debuted around the time things started really going south for the world. Coincidentally, the guy is also a furry, just like that eevee blog post. Go figure, haha.

Insulting that we have always taken care of our neighbors, giving them our tax dollars in hurricanes, and our hospitals during the pandemic, but now they feel that they don't need to return the favor. We're all Americans. Will you really abandon us that quickly?

Is there a link to the full house?

People who destroy public toilets with piss or shit should be forced to sit down for a year. Public bathrooms would be cleaner for it.

This one was the Australians. Collective Shout did that, a fucking crazy org if you look into their past. Murdoch was the virus that infected the world, though. Most Aussies are great people, but damn, their evil people really plumb the depths.

I might ask a librarian for good books on it. Investopedia can also help break things down.

My personal, unsolicited advice (edit: this is US-based advice, I'm not familiar with EU regs): I personally prefer low to medium risk stuff like the S&P 500 index funds and mutual funds. Max your 401k if your company matches it. Dump that into an IRA whenever you switch jobs. HSAs are a pretty decent deal if you live in the US and your company offers one.

Mostly, it's about saving and investing whatever you have, and not spending all of your money. You don't need to be a genius on this stuff. Lower risk investments + time = good outcomes. As you get higher paying jobs, keep investing more and more into your retirement and investment accounts.

Everyone saw that Hitler salute in 2024. There wasn't a person on the planet who didn't see that. I highly distrust anyone driving around in a 2025 Tesla, the new ones with the knockoff versions of the Lucid light bars. Creepy AF to see, especially in a theoretically "progressive" area. Salute aside, he's an enemy to just about everyone on the planet for multiple reasons.

At least we know now.

You might like this blog on The Rise of Whatever, which encapsulates exactly what you are talking about. It's very good.
