Interested in technology for the sake of living things, teaching alpine sports, ski patrolling, whitewater, music and much more. Instead, I get to waste cycles trying to figure out how to survive in a post-reality America.

The trump mamdamni thing proves that we are all NPCs in somebody's first D&D campaign. He went in there with high charisma, rolled a 20 and the inexperienced DM had no option but to change the antagonist's entire character

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

A few years ago, my daughter told me that on her worst days, she stayed alive because her dog wouldn't understand why she was gone, & then apologized that I hadn't been the first reason.
I spluttered, "I don't care if you stayed alive bc *soup tastes good*, honey. I care that you *stayed alive*."
I spluttered, "I don't care if you stayed alive bc *soup tastes good*, honey. I care that you *stayed alive*."
i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

Just remember, never take advice from someone who isn't where you aspire to be...
And if anyone doesn't encourage you or believe in you. It's about them not you.
You can do anything you put your mind to.
Do not take on other people's limitations!!
