It’s interesting how critical you are of OP posting content but you’ve never posted anything. Be the change you wanna see and start churning out some high quality postings.

We hate socialism so much we bought part of Intel.

The headline you’ve written is factually inaccurate. They prevent the state from doing business with contractors who boycott Israel. It’s a very different thing. The state of Texas also prohibits its state employees from doing the same.

There are mailbox security codes in there too. Some interesting stuff for sure.

So relatable.

Let me give you my perspective and the reason I turn them on.

It builds accountability. I want to be a timely replier of texts, but sometimes I fail. Even worse, sometimes I open it and forget to reply at all. This forces me to leave them unread until I’m ready to address them. I know the sender will see that I have read them, so it incentivizes me to manage my texting better.

GET. IN!

I think the big difference is that they seem to be optimizing for customer satisfaction where others are not.

My favorite example I use often is how the Steam Deck comes with a case. It’s free and there’s not even an option to not get it. They know you need one, they include it. The Switch doesn’t come with a case. They know you need one but they don’t care. You’ll buy one if you want it bad enough and that’s more revenue.

It’s just a different type of optimization.

I found this to be an excellent if not somewhat terrifying read. I’m curious which parts seem likely and if there’s any parts you didn’t find believable.

• Short hop (300 miles, 1 car): Mileage = 300×$4.72 = $1,416, but you’ll pay the $2,296 minimum (plus any parking/switching).
• Regional trip (500 miles, 1 car): 500×$4.72 = $2,360 (above the minimum). With one night of standard parking, ~$2,583 before any special switching.
• Overnight long-distance (1,000 miles): ~$4,720 for one car. Two cars on the same request price ~$8,340 (first car $4,720 + second car $3,620) before parking/switching.

I find that having a task list that you use religiously helps a lot because then you can visually see what you have to do.

At some point though, if you’re getting all your work done and don’t have more to do, work on bettering yourself in some way you care about and enjoy it while it lasts.

Probably where he stores his nuts

Don’t leave me hanging, what are the 10 staples?

Reaper memes are so hot right now

It’s OK, lots of men don’t have it. It was probably taken from you when you were young.

Exactly. This citizen’s identity is not a secret to the people in the convo. It’s a brave move and I respect the hell out of it.

Can we take a second and appreciate the person who got these messages and took them to the media? Putting myself in their shoes, I’d be scared shitless and you can easily see how it might make you a target. Good on you random citizen, I appreciate you.
