I once had the unique displeasure of seeing Paul Graham give the worst keynote ever, where his thesis was that big world shattering ideas are like hot women and that the audience was all just impotent little nerd boys who wouldn't know what to do to a hot woman if they were alone together. Then he laid out his oh so big ideas that the audience was simply too cowardly to handle, which I shit you not were things like "replace email" and "make an app so he doesn't have to go to the doctor".

I've heard from some, elected officials especially, that Cop City is going to be built, so there's no reason to keep putting up a fight.
Let me remind you: the Atlanta Police Foundation said Cop City would open in 2023. But here we are, and construction hasn't even started.

Gotta be honest, I didn't expect the hospital food menu to be a whole-ass food delivery service

Hello from intensive care, I guess
re: health-
Gotta say, this is not my favourite achievement
health-
Achievement unlocked: Blood pressure so high that it's out of range of electronic meters, and a manual measurement was necessary

debts, poverty is expensive
About a decade ago, I was in poverty and, more importantly, deeply in debt. Here's an excerpt from just one of the many, *many* letters I got from debt collectors at the time.
The original debt was 750.25 EUR, racked up because I couldn't afford the (legally mandated!) private health insurance.
(Which, by the way, results in additionally getting fined by the government, but that's a whole separate story.)
After adding debt collection charges, the total came out to owing the health insurer 1971.46 EUR, almost three times(!) as much as the original debt.
Poverty is expensive.

@exokai just gotta clean and you'll find more. Cleaning opens up the cable dimension where all lost cables go to be found

One weird thing about being trans and not transitioning until your 30s is having people who helped you figure out your gender stuff who are 14+ years younger than you
