Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)

How do you know they are going to reduce military influence? How are tariffs going to help people who are struggling to afford anything as it is? If the goal is to get people to buy American, what is stopping everything from only being controlled or made by corrupted people or corporations who set up on American soil?

AmTrak is a hill I am willing to die for on.

/e/OS, Fedora, Fediverse, many apps from the F-Droid store.

I think he was practicing it in the mirror, too. There is no way that this is a coincidence or a mistake.

You can also just prepay on utilities. 6k might be a lot, but maybe if you got another card with a lower spending limit.

281-330-8004 hit Mike Jones up on the low cos Mike Jones is bout to BLOW!

I’ve been using Posteo for email since 2020. Love it. Mullvad for VPN.

Boycott Amazon.

This is honestly like a parody.

Shouldn’t have gotten in that car in the first place, Mike. What a Karen.

Damn, why?

I’m still trying to figure this out for myself.

You just need to put yourself around people as much as possible.

If your circumstances are that it isn’t possible, you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it. You perhaps could then make it your goal to relocate or put yourself in a position where you can be around people.

What kind of stuff are you into?

This is a ticket to being seen as insufferable.

It is one thing if a kid’s parents just does not have the means, but the article points out that some baby boomers (maybe more commonly in a the west?) can have tendencies to be spiteful toward people deemed less. Maybe this happens more so in WASP culture.

I’m personally of the belief that if I ever chose to have kids, that I would see it to the end that they felt supported, regardless of their age. The kids themselves didn’t ask to be born.

A lot of cultures who have these values, I notice, have kids that thrive a lot more. I have some friends from east Asia, and they all were encouraged to be independent and pursue meaningful careers. Their parents support them intensely, and help with investments and other forms of support.

My biological father’s family is Jewish (nonreligious). My first cousin is very successful and I know has been set up to have a meaningful career, because my aunt let her live at home during graduate school, and paid for her graduate degree in speech pathology. She will inherit the house she grew up in.

I grew up in WASP culture on my biological mother’s side, and my mom has the attitude that she wants nothing to do with me, especially after I turned 18.

This is my parents. I found out from a relative that after my mom suffered an injury, that her husband was spending $2000 a month on fast food. Literally TWOOOOO THOUSAND dollars on fried chicken a month.

When the topic came up of them writing a will, they said that I’d be getting the family pictures. That’s it.

Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

I have a Motorola G7 Power that I installed LineageOS on. It was kind of hard to do, but I figured it out finally after some trial and error. If you ever wanted to do something similar and need help, let me know. I feel more comfortable having this versus a googled Android phone, and it is customizable enough that you could dumb it down.

GrapheneOS seems like an ideal choice, but I hate Google and didn’t want to risk buying a used phone off of eBay that was carrier locked. Most people I’ve seen recommend buying an OEM unlocked Pixel new from a store, which I would hate doing. Let Google starve. I feel like Google and Amazon are huge instigators of the social problems around this.
