Yeah I’m in the process of switching my OTP stuff to keepassxc. Better hurry that up.

How in the fuck does this not say “two men one truck”. Opportunity missed.

Yeah I do this to break my inertia.

“I’m not actually going to do any work, just clear my desk, then 5 minutes youtube”

“I’m not actually going to do any work, I’m just going to get my books / laptop out, then do whatever thing for 5 minutes”

… and so on …

You need practice at concentrating on your work.

In the same way you’d work out to build muscle strength, your mind needs regular training to stay in shape.

Start with sensible, achievable goals and improve over time.

How long did you take the meds for? How long ago did you stop?

Hmm, maybe… but I’m certain that everyone commenting in this thread does have a back account.

I’ve been a volunteer treasurer for several medium sized non-profits.

You should have a think about what sort of charity resonates with you. Like education support, homelessness, legal support, drug rehabilitation, et cetera.

Then call a few in your area and tell them you’re considering a bequest, and would like to understand some more about their organisation and how the money is used. 1

In places with “hard” water (lots of calcium) you tend to get a calcium plaque in the pan after several years. It will absorb any iron in the water and turn brown.

It’s pretty much a rock growing on the porcelain. A brush won’t move it.

Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.

Yeah it’s the common sense stuff we all know to be true. “Save and invest your money! Compound interest magic! Investments increase in value!”

IIRC he makes a case for ripping off his employees. Justification is that if he have them more money they would just waste it, but he will invest it.

So, ah, that’s not how that works.

If he “goes bust” and can’t make repayments the bank will take his cars and silver and gold.

This guy is a great author, and those four words “rich dad, poor dad” are masterfully crafted. The book basically says borrow money to buy houses not boats. It’s not revolutionary, it’s just packaged in a way which is appealing to… poor dads.

I think this is fairly reductive. I work in a related industry. Often it’s the best lawyers working for the shadier clients, for obvious reasons.

Yeah I don’t like auto upgrades. Everyone says it’s fine but that’s not my experience.

My stuff isn’t public facing so I’m not worried about 0-days

I think you mistake how companies work.

When there’s many millions of dollars on the line and you’re an easily replaceable deck hand the SOP is to do whatever the fuck the special consultant tells you to do.

Exactly. Reporting on what Trump does rather than what he says does not require you to ignore nazi rhetoric.

You can report on the behaviour without breathlessly trotting out every sentence.

The actual story is that Trump is using nazi phrases to stoke furore, generate headlines, and galvanise his base. It’s so tiresome that it’s working so well.

That’s not what I said.

You can acknowledge the behaviour without reporting on every utterance (which is what he wants).

I think that’s exactly what’s happened with Trump, is that deviance has been defined down in the sense that there’s so much focus on, it’s almost like an overload of sorts. The result is, you just don’t see it — it’s almost like he’s kind of normalizing this on some level. Even as outrageous as he can be, it’s been very difficult, I think, for people to maintain a consistent vigilance and see the threat that he represents because it’s kind of overwhelming, really, in many respects.

Precisely why this article shouldn’t exist. This article is normalising the behaviour. Reporton what he does, not what he says.

I’m genuinely amazed at the calibre of people running the US. More so that aparently half the nation thinks its the best choice.

If they could dump it overboard they absolutely would not care whether it continues to burn.
