I really wish it was MediaWyrm. I want something where I can share, rate, and track books, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc
I’m a lumberjack and I’m ok.

For the same reason there are McDonalds everywhere. They are familiar and convenient despite almost always being inferior.
I lived adjacent to a neighborhood like this. It was much quieter than middle aged neighbors with Harley’s. Little Cessnas and Pipers are not that loud.
I agree.
Also check out Greenlight which has a built in parents interest feature.
Yeah. That would be a pain
Visible is pretty great. I don’t really have any issues with it. I pay $25/month. Spouse has upgraded Visible plan of $45/mo and an Apple Watch $5/mo. My 3 kids have Tello $9 plans which gives the unlimited text/talk and 500MB of data. That’s just enough to track their locations, Otherwise they tether for free on our phones. Everyone has an iPhone.
25+45+5+3x9 = $102 all in. No additional fees or taxes.
I use Visible and Tello for phone lines. Have 5 iPhones and pay less than $100/mo.
Buy store brands. A lot of times store brand is cheaper than name brand in bulk at Sam’s/costco.
Buy reliable used cars in cash and learn how to do some auto maintenance yourself.
There are high end thrift stores where you can find barely used quality clothes. Rich people often where them once or twice and then get rid of them.
Date nights in the middle of the week. Lots of places have specials.
I use YNAB which I guess is technically zero based budgeting but we refer to the categories as envelopes. In my mind I’m doing the same thing as when I had cash in envelopes I just don’t have to deal with cash. I group my categories by the 50/30/20.
So I guess 4 with a bit of 1 and 3?
Maybe that’s the difference. I sweat like crazy out my feet, like soaking socks, but my tush is usually pretty dry. I’m extremely picky about my socks (I like Darn Tough).
In high school I worked on a ranch. On a couple of occasions I got to round up cattle on horseback. My friends were competitive ropers and I tried it a couple of times. I couldn’t rope anything.
Honestly, the most fun I’ve ever had at a job though there’s no way I would spend all day on a hot horse with my 30 something body.
Here’s my experience:
My wife and I both grew up very conservative evangelical. Over the last 15 years, we went from right to left (which I’m so happy to have had someone on that path).
Meanwhile, a good chunk of our family has gone hard right or turned a blind eye to those who do. My wife and I have taken different approaches. I dropped off all social media where family was. I’ve established my own boundaries based on how batshit crazy they are and how much I want to stay in touch.
Cousin who posts all the conspiracy shit? I’ll see you at wedding and funerals.
Dad who was an amazing father but listens to Tucker Carlson too much? We typically have 2 hours of conversation before we get to politics. So that’s how long we spend together.
My wife deals with that stuff better. She posts on social media but in a kind and persuasive way, never arguing or getting mad on there, even though she is.
For me, the biggest reason why it’s been good to take the more soft approach is the number of people who reach out to us (mostly my wife) because they are beginning to change their views too. They need a safe place to ask questions. This has included a niece who confided that she’s gay and a sibling who went from moderate republican to climate activist vegan. Coming out the other side together bonds us even more.
So, boundaries. Be firm, but kind. Be patient and inviting for those asking questions. Also, yes therapy.
Do what now? What’s wrong with Hanes and fruit of the loom? This is not something I knew people had strong opinions on.
Can confirm. Lassos are fun.
That’s called camping.
I think it was in SuperFreakanomics where they explored the viability of releasing the equivalent to volcano smoke into the atmosphere to shade the earth. The research was based on earth cooling after certain types of volcano eruptions.
I think the scientist conclusion was that it was pretty viable but introduces way too many other issues. The biggest being, who gets to control the earth thermostat.
I do B2B hardware and software projects. I hate sales and advertising but I will post something I’m working on about once a week on my personal LinkedIn. It’s amazing how many customers reference that stuff when I have my first meeting.
