Terrible. It’s a feature, not a bug.

The point in not remembering past lives is that each life is supposed to be full of learning and growing and experiences that aren’t weighed down and tainted by the egos of past incarnations.

Imagine having been an illiterate miner in the Old West that lives to 95, then showing up with that perspective in the 80s. You’d simply be a cantankerous Luddite set in old ways. Note do that over and over and over.

It’s a joy to shed the ego.

You can always do a dual boot. I’ve had a dual boot Linux Mint and Win 11 for maybe 18 months and I’m finally getting around to purging Windows out for good. The Mint installer sets it all up shockingly easily. I ended up so rarely using Windows that at this point I would rather have the space back.

Admittedly, I do very little coding or gaming, so YMMV, but I’m also basically trashing PS Elements and MS Office Home because I know GIMP and LibreOffice do the job anyway. It was that $250 that kept me holding on for this long.

The eternal metric of a good show hitting a point in season 3 or 4 where every episode opens 20 more questions than it answers, making me wonder if its going to Do a Lost on me and just fall apart. (ahem-Yellowjackets&Severance-ahem)

Yeah, rushed is part of it as well for a full 120+min movie.

And, I should say, I also loved the movie and was disappointed to see mostly negative reviews afterward, but I get it. I initially loved the fact that 87North, the director’s own production company, is both listed in the opening credits and is the company making the movie in the movie. But as the final (contrived to look awesome, which is the point, not the actual plot points) moments wrap up, it felt like it was as much an industry commercial for the director’s own production company as it was a movie just being a movie. Maybe that’s a selling feature and I overthought it, but it sort of took me out of it.

The Fall Guy. The show had a very simple premise (stunt crew moonlights as bounty hunters) that really couldn’t hold up after multiple seasons. The movie just floundered trying to do too much, and ended up far too inside baseball for normal viewers to really identify with.

Vibecoding games about cats in HTML. All retro style, easy to play type stuff.

Up to 5 so far.

Her disloyalty was accidentally telling the truth. What a fool.

Not really. I’ve only seen it at a couple local type places. No large chain has it as a standard combination. TBH, that’s kind of weird to peg that of all things as “an American” slice.

Capers are pickled, so they bring the acid, along with the tomato sauce. The rest is major umami punch, but you go veeeery sparingly.

The underrated combos is where the gains are.

Anchovies with olives and capers.

We all know pineapple and Canadian bacon (can also be Spam).

Pepperoni and jalapeños.

Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.

Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.

I mean, there’s about 387 million Nollywood and Ghannywood movies set in villages or small towns.

The South African series Trackers is awesome, and has some rural settings. But it’s highly produced drama.

Some episodes of Ultimate Braii Master or Taste of South Africa show less rural settings.

There’s a season of 90 Day Fiance with Baby Girl Lisa and Usman that shows pretty accurate village life.

Summer. Scorching hot is my happy place.

This is maybe the 8th headline over seen today saying Trump was “slammed” for doing something illegal and/or stupid.

That’s kind of like doing something, right? /s

Block, the company that owns Cash App, lost a court case and had to pay an $80m fine for failing to adhere to anti-money laundering laws. The Feds have been all over it for a year. Maybe 3 years ago it was possible to fake the KYC, but not a much so anymore.

The only truly non-tracable financial system is Monero, and many exchanges won’t touch it because it has such a close connection to crime.

Lol, might as well hang a sign out front that says “I share data with cops.”

What are they taking? Monero? Gift cards?

Paper; Notebooks. Key only physical door locks. Manual transmission cars. Not having any IoT appliances, and not connecting everything you own to WiFi. Hard drive full of MP3s. Cash. Not being available for a call if you’re not at home.

You’re not crazy. And the things we’ve experienced inform how we go through life.

In addition to communication, being willing to understand a mis-match in how you or he feels about certain actions is also important. My spouse used to be overly jealous, especially of my time spent doing anything that wasn’t at home or work. It got to the point of being uncomfortable and disruptive, so I expressed my feelings, and she had no idea that what she was doing, which seemed perfectly rational to her, was making it impossible for me to do things outside the home. Took her a while to cool down, but she eventually understood that there’s a happy medium that works for everyone.

Also, a dude in his 20s liking some thirsttrap on IG is just cringe, but not really much more than disappointing IMO. Maybe he was drunk, or with a friend and it was something other than him at home, alone, clear-headed, clicking like. Maybe give him some benefit of the doubt on that.

You’ll get there, and asking for help is the first step.

They exist, you just can’t talk about them existing.

My favorite is “inclusive” which is a preposition.

How many legal filings with “inclusive of _____” are there? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? All forbidden
