  • Yes, absolutely. I’m a Xennial so I’m old. My world is tech because it fascinated me when I was young (and lucky enough to have access because it wasn’t a guarantee in those days) and I made a living from not being afraid of tech. I dealt with boot disks, dip switches, losing your Internet connection because someone in the house picked up the phone. My 9 year old thinks something is broken if a program asks them to update.

    We built this world of it just works to make sure boomers didn’t have a panic attack everytime they used a computer and the unintended consequence is our children panic and have no interest in understanding the the underlying process of the systems they work with, because it just works.

    I try to get my kid to care but they don’t, they just want Minecraft to work NOW.

    All that being said I also have lost interest in a lot of what’s new. I know TikTok and Whatsapp exist but I have never used them. AI feels big enough that I’ve messed around with it but I never think oh let me ask ChatGPT… I’m sure in 10 years my kids or an employee are going to laugh at me as I read documentation and forums to figure something out and they will say Bro why not just ask ChatGPT. They just want everything to work and give them the answer now and I think it’s going to blow up in all of our faces.






  • Because what you see that we call mold is the fruit of a vast root system. In hard cheese if you can cut an inch or two in every direction from the mold you likely will get the root system with it. With a soft cheese (or bread) that root system is likely spread through the food pretty thoroughly.


  • I as an American bidet convert can only say: bro it will change your life.

    They aren’t expensive, they are easy to install, and don’t listen to this warm water propaganda, that cool water (I live in the northern parts so I mean COOL) is refreshing and great.

    Join the revolution of having a clean ass!


  • I’m living in reality, however unpleasant that may be. No “left” third party candidate will do anything but get Trump another term. I want better things for this country, but the way to get them isn’t to help elect a fascist hopeful dictator. Change needs to start at the bottom, you seem really motivated, you should go run for City council and start making the change you want to see. Right now your answer to not liking one candidate is to choose the one that probably would love to put you in a reeducation camp.


  • Cornell West, who’s campaign is being run by Jill “lunch with Putin” Stein. I thought more of West than to be an obvious Republican plant. I don’t even care what I think about Biden, he is the incumbent president and will be the candidate. I’ll vote for him in a second because the alternative is literally the likely destruction of the United States as we know it.

    This isn’t hard. The US is a two party system right now. I don’t understand why people think a third party is ever a good idea right now. Maybe third parties should run in local elections instead of this dumb spoiler candidate for the president vs
