*Meeting with my back ally dealer* "Alright, do you have what I'm looking for?" "Sorry man, the new supply hasn't come in yet. I've got some meth though!" "Dammit man! You know that meth doesn't do it for me anymore! I need to argue with strangers on the internet!" "I'm sorry man, I told you, I'm fresh out!"

I'm not a fan of colectivized bargaining for individualizable benefits. That kind of bargaining only makes sense if you start with the premise that workers are worth LESS than the sum of their parts. People don't seem to realize that with every worker added to the negotiation, the demands becone harder and harder to fulfil. All they see is the amount of leverage increasing. When workers try to negotiate as a group, it only serves to make them easier to herd.

Apparently my sunscreen coverage was incomplete or else got washed off some parts of my body but not others. Now I have a really patchy red region on my bod that makes me look like I have some sort of disease!

The degenerate pedophiles on the Fediverse seem to have enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July.

The government wants to track kids' browsing in order to ensure they aren't victimized by the internet. In order to ensure my kids aren't victimized by the government, I'm going to teach them how to browse the darkweb.

The healthcare industry hates pain so much that they are willing to actively work against the body at every step if that's what it takes. The worst part is that they don't even realize they are doing it, so if you ask a simple question "How do I heal faster and more thoroughly" you will be confronted by quite a bit of blatent misinformation. Sorry! Reducing inflammation does NOT improve recovery. It just reduces short term pain and makes long term recovery worse.

Officer pulled me over and asked me if I've been drinking. So I proudly raised the bottle I filled with apple juice. I always make sure to try to hit my 2 liters a day! I'm posting from the county jail right now...

I still believe that privacy is evil and anonymity is good. If your ideas can't exist in the light then they shouldn't exist at all. You don't have to listen to the arguments against you, but I think you should at least be willing to make them public if you won't keep them to yourself. To clarify, something like a password is fine to keep private because it has no extrinsic meaning; it doesn't say anything ABOUT anything, and that's by design. But even something as mundane as a shopping list is better off on a public ledger than a private note app. (Assuming it doesn't de-anonymize the shopper.)

I'm asexual. That means I'm shy.
