I LOVE IT

Do the bots at least use AI to chat? Because that’s going to be better than the one word answers I get from the real people.

25 years ago I was writing code in a paper notebook, sometimes while riding the bus. The only computer access was at college and it was easier to work through the code on paper and then quickly transcribe it once I got on campus.

Yeah, things are a bit more complicated now, but in other ways they are sooooo much easier. The fact that people are using chatGPT to ‘program’ is just crazy from my perspective.

A good bug net and a tarp are going to be just as effective as a modern tent, and breathe better.

No. Maybe better than a cheap tent from Walmart.

Don’t buy cheap tents or sleeping bags and take care of them.

Vegetarian and ‘anti-establishment’ for 25+yrs

Work is hard. I’ve worked for souless corporations, it’s hard not to. Sometimes you just have to be servant class and have no other option. Just be sure that you are taking money from them without giving them any excess effort. You can always work towards other opportunities. If you want to do something else, learn to do it. You can learn so many things for free. I just recently accepted a new position with a local company that shares my values. Most of the skills that got me there were things I learned on my own over the last decade. I didn’t go to school for this, nor do I have any directly comparable job experience. Before my last corporate hustle I had a long term job with a local non-profit for many years. I also did not start that position by having the necessary experience. Don’t lose hope, there are always better opportunities in the future.

I control how I spend my money. If I don’t like a company or product I don’t give them any money. Sometimes that means I spend more elsewhere. Sometimes I just have to give up something. I do allow for guilty pleasures occasionally (chocolate).

My grocery bill is minimal because I don’t eat meat, I don’t eat a lot of processed food and I don’t over-eat. I also grow a lot of food (this time of year half or more of my meal ingredients come out of the garden).

The most important thing about HOW I LIVE LIKE THIS?

I don’t judge other people who can’t.

It requires some sacrifice and not everyone can handle that. But I do encourage everyone to try, even a little. If every single person put in effort to be 10% “better” the world would be much better.

Most people seem to accept living on debt or handouts. It’s strange. I see everyone around me (both sexes) acting the same. So it’s not even a dating app issue, I think it’s a people issue. Offer nothing and expect everything in return. Maybe it’s an American thing?

I don’t want to be grouped into incel mentality, but is there a dating app to meet people from another country?

I go to sleep at 1 (plus socks, beanie, and sometimes a hoodie)

I wake up at 20

Sometimes I wake up warm and strip a layer or two off. But I’ve been like this my whole life so I usually don’t even wake up when clothes start coming off.

I don’t sleep-walk, I sleep-strip.

And I’m VERY careful about where I fall asleep.

Using the app becomes obstruction or terrorism. People who do that will also get sent to camps.

It seems far fetched but it’s really not. After all, nobody would step to stop either of those things from happening.

Which app? Cause I can’t find the nerdy girls.

The algorithm just pushes all these women who are wanting someone who will house them and take them on worldly vacations.

It’s also a great name for a cover band.

Butt rock covers of gospel songs perhaps?

🎵 CAS-CADIAAAAAAA 🎵

As a single guy who lived with a married couple, I can say it’s awesome and doesn’t have to be sex related.

It cut down on cost of living and made everything easier. A little awkward when they bicker and didn’t always enjoy playing the marriage counselor role. But overall it was great.

I think it also worked because sex wasn’t part of the relationship.

I usually refer to myself as Cascadian

So many missed opportunities for O-bomb-a jokes

Everything is ‘2 weeks’. It’s the only time frame he gives. Probably read somewhere that the news cycle is only 2 weeks so he thinks everyone will forget by then. (They will.)

Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.

Some ‘workers’ really don’t want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don’t want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.

Just an FYI, you can totally use an apple in place of a potato for many dinner recipes.

When in season, I often add apples to my stir fry or hash.

TIL why the ‘horse apple pie’ I ate in grade school tasted like shit.

I thought I just didn’t like eating horses.

It is a variety thing for sure. I wouldn’t be snacking on a raw Russet that hadn’t been cooked yet. But some thin slices of a Huckleberry Gold with a dash of olive oil and salt is tasty.
