Have not sewed a variety of things, do have a preoccupation with variations on pointelle tees.

RT @ouroboros_outis: People always talk about the decline of basal knowledge in schools (shop class, home economics, etc.) but I think it w….

A Gotcha I’ve been overexposed to today is “ah, money ACTUALLY works like this higher layer of abstraction!”.

You would not believe how many people have explained fractional reserve banking to me today.

They should invent a green tea you can leave in the mug for a long time without it getting all tannic and bitter.

Also I’m very hurt about how many people are ignoring my “on this website” qualifier.

It could be fun if there were an “adopt a retiree” program where me and the 1-2 other workers supporting their benefit get a little mailer of what they’re up to. I desire to stalk them.

I have a modest proposal: we should stop giving retirees money, and give it to me, a pregnant woman, instead.

I would like to apologize for the low effort tweet I fire off every time I see the tax deductions on my paycheck.

Disconcerting aspect of crime investigations is while trying to find the real perpetrators, they turn up five other dangers to society who have not yet committed a major crime.

Really funny that every single retiree on this website thinks social security is some kind of bank account the government kept for them, and not a benefit being actively funded by today’s taxes.

App that locates Jersey cow milk specifically.

I’m addicted to this Berkshire jersey cow milk farm whose milk I started buying at a local grocery in Boston and the only place that stocks it here is the Whole Foods 20 min away, and the farm itself is 2.5hrs away, I cry.

In 2025 even straight conservatives are gay.

There’s this funny genre of tiktok video where a woman will post captions about her pain-free birth, and the video will clearly show her doubled over and mentally managing pain, sometimes with the assistance of objects and others. Really hedging the definition of “pain” here.

Our safety net for elderly is robust between social security, medicare/aid, agencies on aging, and other general low income assistance. I strongly feel if that’s not enough for some seniors desired lifestyle, their families should help instead of forcing taxpayers to.

It’s so hard to do ANYTHING, especially in a timely manner, when you need sign off from literal thousands of people on top of managing public sentiment. Death by process.

I feel like we aren’t addressing the Coordination Problem of trying to build anything enough. In utilities alone we have:. 1. Utilities .2. State regulators .3. Federal regulators.4. RTOs .5. Stakeholder groups like NEPOOL. All with their own internal groups coordinating.
