Okay, that's not what I would have expected from him.

And I agree - lots (more) side effects are going to come out.

My in-laws got married in 1964, and their politics are polar opposites.

She - liberal - very nice, calm, friendly lady, BUT, actually kicked chairs over in the kitchen, in a rage, when Trump was elected. He - conservative - constantly watching Fox news, then switched to OAN or something similar (more conservative). Trump lover

And they get along really well.

I don't know if that kind of story happens anymore. Like the example you gave, unfortunately some women really won't date someone that's not on their wavelength, politically.

I also saw a forum post once (MrMoneyMustache) where the lady poster would only date someone who believes in global warming. Sheesh.

Yes, that's what I did, but they weren't even free. I used lightning to pay for them. It was a while back and can't remember the details of which service I used, but I tried pretty hard, and was never successful - telegram always rejected the numbers.

A while back I tried starting an account with a non KYC phone number. Couldn't get it to work after trying for quite some time, Telegram always rejected it.

What do you think of Liquid?

Glad to hear you're eating meat again! I'll have to watch that video.

Very soon after reading the book that set me on this path (The Big Fat Lie, it was my first carnivore-related post) I read 2 books on sugar that really opened my eyes - Pure White and Deadly by John Yudkin, and The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes. Great reading. Those books basically convinced me that sugar (unless in really low doses) is basically a very low grade poison, that's also addictive. So, a bad combo.

You might want to look at the book Carnivore In The Kitchen for recipes that can satisfy a sweet tooth. She has some dessert recipes that I make for special occasions, that are carnivore (lots of dairy, and I'll add strawberries for a holiday treat). I like them, but definitely am only willing to make that kind of extra effort just once or twice a year. Making the treats yourself is a good way to limit consumption.

And I have zero trust that they're actually correctly identifying these boats.

I guess just zero trust in the government, all around.

I came into a company to work on a project that my boss had done a lot of work on, previously. The work he had done was trash.

I thought and strategized with co-workers a LOT to try to figure out how to position my proposed changes. I was (I thought) so careful, so respectful, so understanding of how work done under time constraints is going to have some flaws, etc, etc.

All to no avail. The dude was a complete and utter a**hole, I got put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) after I proposed some changes. I ended up just leaving the company.

Leaving worked out well for me, thank goodness. But next time around, I will understand how (some) people react, even when you're specifically brought in to fix things.

Wow, interesting! You think they're much more drugged out in the first week of the month, because of some kind of aid money? That's nuts if true, but it probably is.

Do you know - when you see the druggies actively doing that zombie weird, hunched-over thing (not sure what it's called), is it actually when they've just taken the drugs? Or is that what they're like, permanently?

Great write up.

And those papers that didn't get published - they probably wouldn't have been read anyway, right? You probably get more readers, writing up posts on Stacker News

I'll bet a Sharpie pen on the lettering will make it much less noticeable. If the tongue is the only place where it's visible...

I've done that type of thing before as well - am not a fan of being a walking billboard.

Please! The shoes! Photos, all the details!

I'm thinking of trying to vibe code an app like OneSec - which I actually purchased a long time ago - back when you could actually purchase an app, and not subscribe to it.

OneSec just delays whatever app you're targeting, so you can't get the instant gratification - you need to wait for at least X number of seconds.

I do the same with laptops - I have a cruddy old $35 chromebook, on which everything is "allowed". It can be tediously slow, though.

On my main laptop, I cut off (via hosts file) sites like pinterest, youtube, etc.

I love this comment on the original WSJ article (available here, btw: https://archive.vn/9yGY1)

I've seen the geese problem in lots of other locations. Geese (without any predators, can't hunt them) take over lakes, poop everywhere, and make many a lake park unpleasant.

Right, I see this all the time now. At restaurants, I've seen families with 3 kids all on three different devices. No fighting or arguing, but also no talking or interacting. Zombies.

What are they?

I guess you're right, we can be relating to more humans now, one-to-many. But I'm doubtful that interactions like that satisfy what I think is a basic human needs - to see and interact with other people.

Alongside the lady checking people in, who was also playing a video game on her phone - it reminds me of what I've seen a couple times recently. And that is - somebody pushing a broom in a public space, but...on their phone at the same time, watching a video. Crazy. Also interesting that this person can keep a job. I guess there's not much competition for jobs like that.
