The importance of digital privacy and freedom. The way capitalism ruins everything you like.

I absolutely love this.

I actually think the post title and text were edited AFTER I responded which made me look like an idiot, but whatever.

Man I’m just getting killed for misreading stuff lately.

I don’t know but that’s a ground symbol like you would see on an electronics schematic.

I try to avoid it. I only buy there what I can’t find locally, or elsewhere on the internet, or anywhere at the price. At this point, I probably purchase less than an item a month from Amazon, and I’m still trying to cut that down.

Like others in here, I find myself listening to whole records. Sometimes I’ll listen to a couple by an artist in a row.

I feel like I don’t listen to enough music. I try to sit down and actively listen to things when I can, but mostly I’ll get a record or two in while doing something mindless like dishes or yard work. Nothing gets overplayed this way.

I’ve used vote411.org in the past and it’s done a decent enough job for me to double check local candidates and their policies ideas prior to elections. I’m willing to try others though. Any thoughts on vote411?

I just signed an offer for a 8am-4pm job, so I guess they do but it’s been a long while since I’ve had a job with those hours.

It’s almost like I’ve heard investing advice say this for my entire life. Can’t imagine why’d they tell us that over and over and then corner the market. Couldn’t be that they lie to us. That just, like CAN’T be. Right? RIGHT?!

That’s funny, cause I say the same thing about him.

Yo, JK, it’s SO EASY to NOT say anything. Just stop saying things.

I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.

Well, I can’t take them with me…

Ummm it’s hard to do without giving up a wonderful 9-book, 7 or 8 novella plot, but I’ll do my best. It’s ultimately a space opera, but the ideas explored are well thought out and intriguing. I don’t think it really gets as deep into what you’re looking for as you’d like but it’s still a wonderful book series.

Future humans, in our solar system, lots of political intrigue between the powers of the UN (all of earth), the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Planets Alliance (people of the asteroid belt, less of a govt, more of a political movement). Someone finds what might be alien life or alien technology (possibly sitting for a billion years in outlets solar system), and the rest is what happens to humans in the wake of that.

The tech itself gets into possible collective consciousness, planet-sized carbon crystal data storage and quantum entanglement. Along with things like worm hole technology and heavily bending (but not really breaking) the laws of physics.

It’s all written with VERY sound scientific thought behind every little nuance of the story and all the tech involved.

It’s not the hardest of sci-fi and ultimately there’s isn’t a ton in the narrative specifically about this, but there’s some really interesting stuff in The Expanse series (book, not show) that touches on this kind of thing.

I replay this game regularly. It’s so good. Gameplay, music, aesthetics…10/10 all around killer game.

not even close to the limit on my desktop. let’s keep it going

Got my first two Hydroflasks (32oz and 20oz) in 2014 I would guess? Still have both and use one of them every day.

KGB gonna KGB
