15yo: In the last four months, I have listened to over four years' of episodes of Behind the Bastards.

Me: That's dedication. What's the main lesson you've learned in listening to the show?

15yo: No one ever learns from the past.

I will always be here for PBS doing this.
I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

why, that's a *steal* for the smart piss ball, and I can't wait to find out how much the monthly subscription for the piss-sniffing service costs, and it'll be so useful, and I won't mind the occasional leaking of data on my leaks until the inevitable shutdown day, when my piss ball is sadly bricked

Oh yeah, cool.
Adrenaline decided to update and then perform a cpu overclock, causing instability.

Using DDU reverted this, which got the system stable again, long enough for me to figure out what the hell happened.

People did warn me when I was younger to pursue high-paying fields, and I always shrugged them off. I thought, “I’m not a materialistic person, I don’t want to live in luxury—I’ll be fine making a modest salary. Money’s not important to me.”

Turns out you need a shitload of money just to be broke.

I remember my freshman journalism teacher beating this into our heads.
Friendly reminder that "off the record" requires agreement from all parties involved in a conversation, including and especially the reporter. If the reporter doesn't agree not to use certain comments, they're fair game for publication.

Keep that in mind the next time a source tries to write "this email is off the record" or tell you after the fact. The heck it isn't!!!

I work to get out of work early specifically so that I can get home before my spouse to greet them.
little known fact about my trot is that whenever sweet barbara gets home from the frozen lake i go and stand out on the front porch to greet and say hello. if you can, i think it is really nice to take a moment and have a gesture to say 'this meeting happens all the time but i still appreciate it'

Remember,
There is no real possible way to keep from consuming media, food, etc that isn't at least a little bit problematique.

The important point of it is that if you can avoid it, do so.

And don't let the purity fuckers shame you for it.

I've started pruning my friends list based upon what I call the "beer test".
If I feel like I could have a beer with the person and bullshit, they stay.

AKA the southern friendship test.
