  • Do you still actively play? I used to play a lot a few years ago. I've been debating getting back into it but I'm not sure I have the patience to relearn the combat and I'm sure those who still play are monsters at this point.

  • There is No Such Thing as a Pro-Labor Conservative
  • I have family that would claim they are pro-labor, keyword claim. One family member was in a union for his entire working career. Him and his spouse vote conservative (afaik) everytime. I've tried to explain that they are voting against what helped them get to the point they are at currently but they just can't see it. It has helped some that now I'm in a union but even when agreeing with me that corporations only care about profits and will cut you and your benefits the first chance they get, they will still side with R. It's crazy! We even had an interesting conversation about trickle down economics and how it hasn't worled or trickled down at all. I was surprised they agreed with me on that.

  • Intel is laying off over 15,000 employees and will stop ‘non-essential work’
  • The problem is that it is just poor money management. He could've been set for life. Put that into an index or S&P500 and get 10% every year. That's 70k and he wouldn't even have to work. If you took that 70k and invested back into the fund, you can double your money in about 7 years, assuming 10% returns.

  • Paycheck rule
  • Glad I'm not alone in this. Tight budgeting that slowly trickles down to negative and then the tax credits come in and give us a boost to hopefully last the next year.

  • When I die, turn me into soup
  • I highly recommend you check out a book called "A Bold Return to Giving a Damn". It's about a cattle rancher who turned his ranch into a form of regenerate agriculture. One of his main point is that the current meat industry provides cheap meat that is subsidized by the environment. His ranch is called White Oak Pastures. Fascinating book and definitely changed the way I look at meat consumption. I still eat meat but my extended family raises a cow every year so I think its a little but better than the industrial food system currently at work.

  • What are you reading??
  • This is an excellent story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I saw another comment mention it but after you finish this, you must read (or listen to) "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. The narration was excellent. I borrowed the audiobook from libby and it was such an amazing story!
