I may never recover from this rabbit hole. ESPhome works with so much of the crap I already have.
I've seen this elsewhere and it's had a very guilty till proven innocent feel to it.
I am highly skilled, but have 3 dependants. Also some dogs. It would be so so hard. I've looked into the various paths to entry, none of them easy.
Yeah I use goods unite us and that spreadsheet that lists anti-dei corpos, I haven't given up, just bemoaning that the arc of time doesn't bend quickly enough towards justice.

There is no ethical consumption, but I don't think I can convince my wife to give up Oreos... Hmm.
I'd better not risk it.
I taught my boy how to ride a bike today. Almost happy cried.😭
Well, you've got me there, to be honest.
It is a trap. I guess you find work-life balance by eating the rich.
Dude, seriously! I totally expect to die before I can retire. Healthcare costs alone will prevent my being able to retire.
This has been my go to anymore, especially now that I can afford it.
I cannot upvote this enough.
Without Work-Life balance, you will be miserable and it won't matter what you plan to do outside of work you won't want to do it.
The fact that you've just left college and already have a job is a fantastic thing, but the ideal is to have a good work-life balance so that you can actually live life. It took me a long time, too long, to figure that out.
I tried out bsky and I'm thinking about just deleting everything and closing it up. It's made me more anxious and that's about it. I've seen no real benefits from it.
When a cop choked me till I blacked out. Thank God there were people there to stop him.
I remember thinking "I guess I'm dying now"

This transphobic, anti-gender theory, anti-abortion doctrine of theirs has me completely done with them.
I'm not a rageaholic, but you wouldn't know it when I heard this story come on my news feed. Profanities that came out of me were full-throated, long-winded, and unbecoming.
I was raised Catholic and for a long time since they decided to bless same-sex marriages I was okay with the Catholic Church but what do you know? Just like that. Now I'm anti-Catholic.
They're basically saying that everyone is made perfect in God's image and that by changing your sex your violating that perfection and somehow violating your own dignity? Like, they're trying to say that changing your gender is separating yourself from your soul somehow? I'm done with these people.
Here is a link to the actual document that they produced. Would you believe it took him 5 years to come up with thi

China Accuses US of Hacking Huawei Servers as Far Back as 2009
China accused the US of infiltrating Huawei Technologies Co. servers beginning in 2009, part of a broad-based effort to steal data that culminated in tens of thousands of cyber-attacks against Chinese targets last year.
The Tailored Access Operations unit of the National Security Agency carried out the attacks in 2009, which then continuously monitored the servers, China’s Ministry of State Security said in a post on its official WeChat account on Wednesday. It didn’t provide details of attacks since 2009.
Cyberattacks are a point of tension between Washington and Beijing, which has accused its political rival of orchestrating attacks against Chinese targets ever since Edward Snowden made explosive allegations about US spying. Washington and cybersecurity researchers have said the Asian country has sponsored attacks against the West.
The ministry’s accusations emerged as the two countries battle for technological supremacy. Huawei in particular has spurred alarm in Washington since

This little propaganda piece from Business Insider really shows how the rich think.
www.businessinsider.com I'm a millennial real-estate agent here to tell you that long-term homeownership is not the best way to build wealth. Here's why.
David Ravitz is selling his South Florida home just two years after buying it to reap the gains from a renovation and regional price increases.
The following is just an opinion:
In this recent Business Insider article, millennial real estate agent David Ravitz presented his case against long-term homeownership. It's crucial, though, to critically examine the underlying messages and implications of this piece. In what may seem like an innocuous lifestyle feature on the surface, Business Insider has, perhaps unwittingly, amplified the voice of the wealthy, casting a shadow over the economic realities faced by the average American.
Ravitz’s story is not your usual rags-to-riches tale. The Boca Raton-based agent is advocating for a model where one simply purchases a $960,000 home, renovates it for an additional $500,000, and then flips it on the market for an exorbitant profit. Although it may seem like a savvy investment strategy, it's not one that an average American can afford to take up. It is an insight into the mindset of a certain privileged class and how it perceives the path to wealth.
