  • If you start a business and you cannot make money paying a fair wage and making a work environment people want to be in you shouldn’t have a business.

    Easy for me to say, right, why don’t I go out and try?

    I don’t have to. I watched my dad run a small business over the last 25 years. People don’t leave, they retire. People are treated with respect and paid fairly for the work they do. Bonuses are given when sales are exceptional. People are told to go to their kids soccer game, it’s more important to be there than at work, we will cover you.

    Are people still unhappy with the idea of having a job? Yeah I think that’s pretty universal. But the culture they have makes it a lot better than many alternatives, and it turns out you can make enough money to be doing well and still pay your people well if your business is sound.



  • Interesting. Did you know you can find my address by looking up property records? It’s free, anyone can do it. You can see how much my house cost, how much taxes I pay, etc.

    Did you know you could look up Name, Phone Number, Address, Criminal History, Convictions, and Court Cases involving the individual searched using a license plate number?

    I really do appreciate the explanation. I really don’t feel scared. For what it’s worth I used hide my email and a vpn. I guess if I am ever important I will have to consider more. As it stands, everyone already knows what I’m up to, I use google services.

    Equifax. I know you know what I’m talking about. Why should I give a shit if I’m gonna be exposed by the stewards supposedly safeguarding my most sensitive info anyway?


  • Are you suggesting to me that a drop shipper having my fake Apple Pay card number will get breached and a hacker will take the time to reverse engineer that fake data to crack apples algorithm

    Or is reality more like they’re gonna buy a data file and use the cards they can crack immediately?


  • This will not be a popular opinion, and I’m not even sure I hold it, but it’s worth discussing.

    If you do something with your phone you don’t want people to know about, you will be caught if anyone cares enough to catch you.

    If you are not doing things you don’t want others to know about, perhaps you don’t care who knows what porn you’re into, maybe caring is a waste of energy.

    Can a Chinese firm buy your information? If so, you are both missing out on cheap stickers and creating value for the firm that sells that data. You’ve just essentially raised the value of collecting your data in the states, ensuring it will intensify.


  • They must have a bunch of these to unload because it pops up a lot in the feed.

    I just got a pack of 100 unlicensed rock and roll stickers that was worth it for $1.50. Throw in a shoe horn and some silicone rings and you’ve got an order that’s near impossible to mess up. You really want to buy stuff it’s impossible to mess up from Temu.

    I read an article about not defrosting if you’re cooking it in the oven. It said you just add 50% time at temp.

    I’m not a bird guy though, so I’m really just here to hint at knowledge that exists for you to find, which really makes you think about how knowledge works in the first place and how your brain can trigger memory from either sensory input or thought or both, but then sometimes it’s not there also.

    Anyway someone in the fam got covid so I’m doing steaks instead.


  • Whoops, AI bought the dip and is now the majority shareholder of an unsettling number of corporations. The AI has cracked the cyber security of the market so thoroughly it can manipulate things faster than we can keep up. We are on the cusp of a singularity but it is not the one we expected. All value is soon to be consolidated. People keep saying “it doesn’t matter because humans aren’t involved anymore so it’s all just fake value, but shit is getting done. The machine needs labor, all administrators are eliminated. Cemetery stocks are through the roof. It’s a bold new frontier.

    I made a lot of things work for me by giving up on forcing life, being honest with myself about my shortcomings and strengths (the hardest part), and putting conscious effort into making the best of every situation I’m in with other people.

    Don’t try to be good, try to be better than yesterday.

    Love, A Dad
