This is somebody’s personal ramblings. Not really a shit post. That said, I agree with it. I recently started watching “Alone”. When you get shipped off to the wilderness, you figure out real quick how dependent you are on others. Even the toughest people out there can only survive so long on their own. Humans need each other. The very idea of a “rugged individualist” is itself a giant shit post.

Tom Cotton? Is that you??

From now on, I will [continue to] not use ChatGPT.

“Success” is relative. Don’t believe the lie that you have to have lots of money and stuff to be successful.

Also, I’ve heard it said, “if you find yourself in a room where you’re the smartest person, you’re in the wrong room.”

I’ve been very fortunate, at times, to work with people who were incredibly good at their jobs or just wise people in general. I don’t think any of those people saw themselves as anything special. They just knew something I didn’t and were happy to share. I learned a lot from them. But I have so much more to learn. I’m ok with that. It keeps things interesting.

A lot of Americans don’t understand this and think “Executive Orders” are equivalent to laws. They are not.

The US constitution gives the president broad authority over the Executive Branch of the federal government and ZERO authority over anything else. Your local county clerk, who most likely handles elections, subject to the laws of your state, can and should just ignore the POTUS.

I feel this. I started playing the piano again early in the pandemic. I did not appreciate it when I was a kid and my mom made us each practice for an hour a day but I appreciate it now.

Every morning my two youngest kids (under 5) get up around 7:00 AM. The first thing they want to do is sit on my lap in the recliner while I either read to them or turn on one of their TV shows and we just chill for an hour. We do this every day and it’s my favorite part of the day.

These are the same people who like to dismiss misogyny with, “it’s just locker room talk.” If someone’s words are degrading other people then it doesn’t matter if they’re in the locker room or the living room. They just need to shut the fuck up.

I’m just gonna leave this here

THE ANSWER WILL SHOCK YOU!

Gleefully send them off to a pointless war and then tell them we can’t afford to take care of them. The Republican way.

That is the same expression my toddler gets when he’s filling up his diaper.

Yeah, but when I drop a teenager off at the fire station, they just bring her back home and tell me I can’t do that because it’s considered “child abandonment.”

I had a binder full of video CD’s because my laptop only had a CD-RW drive. It usually took two disks to hold an entire film.

I don’t have any money but I still do it.

Long time ago I had the benefit of spending a couple years in banking. Bankers have a very different attitude about money than most people since for a bank, money is the “product.”

The most valuable thing I learned from that experience was that in order to be in control of my finances, I had to have a clear understanding of what my money is “doing.” Just being able to get that insight has been enough to keep me relatively on top of my book keeping.

Not sure it has quite sunk in yet for Sarah that she is never going to be POTUS.
