Only when it’s clean

Tablet. And the cage was created by me to keep them safe. They’ll get more access and bigger toys as they age.

The best part about stupid people is, if you live long enough you get to join them.

How quickly we adapt. The president SHOULDN’T control the DOJ. separation of powers is supposed to be a thing.

How would the Democrats have already used it?

It’s how I’ve explained it to myself over the years. Otherwise people are insufferable :-p.

That’s still part of the job. Building and maintaining relationships allows you to call on those relationships to be productive. Even people that seem useless could be connected to other people who are useful.

It’s also part of the job to maintain a baseline of morale.

If a person is truly a time waster, set a boundary and tell your boss.

instead of wasting 30 minutes?

Did the paycheck clear? Did you get paid? Then it wasn’t a waste. It’s part of the job. Do your job. Even the parts you don’t like.

feel like I won’t get anywhere in running

Running is the one sport where you’re guaranteed to get somewhere. Sure, it’s only 500 meters away. But it sounds like you’d benefit from distance from the crazy.

bland and unmemorable

This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.

The sync is weird though. I can’t say “upload this image” I have to say “keep this whole folder in sync”.

And that’s why the incel culture is so popular. Anytime you have a hard problem, and pitch that it’s someone else’s responsibility to fix, people will love that.

Poor people " just need to work harder", immigrants " just need to come in the right way", women " just need to be less picky", and I don’t have to change or help.

It’s easier to not care about a guy’s mental health when he’s married, even if it’s a shitty marriage. How can he be lonely if he has a wife, after all?

I’m happy for divorces. I’m happy for the increase in male loneliness BEING NOTICED. It used to just be the guy would work all day, or drink himself to death silently, to avoid the issue.

But the next step has to be for guys to be open to make emotional friendships.

It’s not an issue only now. But we’re more isolated than before because we lost our third spaces and communities. Bunch of lonely wolves.

Some is valid. Men aren’t taught how to make and maintain emotionally open friendships, with men or women. It’s seen as weak or weird to cry on front of your bros when you’re sad. This leads to loneliness. This is real.

Some is not valid. Men claiming that they’re not getting laid and it’s women’s fault is bullshit. Or that women have impossibly high standards and are gold diggers. It’s nonsense.

The problem is that the “women hating incels” have coopted the term, and their garbage deserves to be mocked.

So it fits their food. That’s great advertising.

Kidney bean

I’m building my first circular factory. I think I hate it, but it looks really neat

I think it’s the one they can slip straight through.

I can’t justify nuclear. I want to, but it’s such a daunting setup and rocket fuel works well enough.
