I feel seen.

My daily strategy for keys and wallet are:

1. Keys go in the key bowl the moment I step inside. They are always there. Always. It’s muscle memory at this point.
2. Wallet is in the pant pocket from the day before. It moves from one pair of pants to the other without any steps in between.

I must have a different kind of ADHD because I need to be an hour or two early for my appointments, or I’m constantly stressed I’ll forget them.

Another good expression, “forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.”

It also aligns with Stoicism. You can’t control what others do, you can only control your reaction to it.

Thank you so much for posting this. I had never seen it, and 3:40 brought me to tears.

Be aware that receipts (or any thermal paper) are toxic and leech through your skin. I’m not sure how they affect cats, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend holding them longer than you need to.

There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.

People are being snatched and sent to a death camp without a trial or even charges filed. People here legally with no criminal records. Parents with kids. Soccer coaches. The government has admitted in court that it sent people in error, but that it had no ability to undo the harms it caused.

No part of this is acceptable.

Man pages are still not great on Linux. Very few examples with common use-cases and explanations. I shouldn’t need to visit the Arch wiki.

OpenBSD man pages are a delight in comparison, and really all you need to learn how to manage the system.

I like the idea of using a notebook and using my phone less. I’ll give it a shot.

I use a calendar and reminders constantly. For everything. Anytime someone says something I need to remember, I whip out my phone and create a calendar event or a reminder right then and there.

Needs more eyeliner.

Ya but I watched a YouTube video on it, so who’s to say what’s true?

To be fair lots of companies contribute time/labor/money to Linux. It’s a pretty commercial FOSS project as far as they go.

Yes, but how many are saved from autism and brain worms?

I thought the art was lovely and laughed out loud (in public) at the joke. Thanks for sharing it!

Polish scrabble’s worst nightmare

At the risk of getting downvoted to oblivion, honest discussion. Obviously capitalism isn’t working in America. But in Russia, starting under Lenin, tons of people still suffered and died, and still do to this day, no? So is Lenin’s ideology really better than the US economic system, when either he failed to implement it, or he did and it still resulted in serious issues?

That’s just it. There is no perfect government. The government is made of humans, and humans are imperfect. Any government, no matter how pure/noble its founding intentions, will eventually become corrupt need to be replaced.

We’re finally feeling that in America after a good 250 year run.

Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman sent to analyze the American government in its early days— specifically studying its checks and balances—called it way back in 1835. There’s nothing to stop tyranny in America. Well worth reading his writings, “Democracy in America.”
