  • My wife wrote a book and brought copies to sell. Someone asked her if she brought ones to sell and my wife said yes. Later when we meet with her she’s like “you’re sure I can have this?” My wife says something like “yeah I brought enough” and then she never paid lol. Even worse, the next day she wasn’t randomly holding a $20 bill and put it away. Either she’s the most rude and insanely conniving person ever or our life was a sitcom because wtf. There’s more context but I don’t wanna yap too long. My wife almost even took the money out of her hand thinking she just didn’t have cash the night before.

    All that said, you deserve to get paid for your work!




  • It’s grim, but think about it like this. If you were in the gardening industry, wouldn’t it be good for business if your neighbor started a garden in their yard? Even if you weren’t directly in the gardening industry they may want to buy things like decorations to go out there. More time outside? Sun screen and bottled water are things you’ll need. Plastic bad for the environment? Get this new reusable water bottle that everyone is using!

    It’s similar with war. It’s not so much that it’s the killing specifically, but regardless, it’s a massive endeavor that needs lots of supplies. Think about all of the logistics involved in shipping someone overseas and maintaining them there. Even if companies do it for cheaper, they’re not going to do it at a loss. The same way we see companies getting excited to cash in on the AI craze, we’ll see companies excited to try and extract whatever possible value they can out of war.

    And honestly, same thing with genocide.











  • I would stare out windows a lot while I was in the bathroom. If you stare at leaves in a tree and let your eyes unfocus you can see patterns and shapes. Sort of like looking for shapes in clouds.

    For bathrooms without windows I think I would just use my imagination. I’ve got a fairly vivid one and just think about random stuff a lot.

    It’s hard to remember though. I have heard about people reading the ingredients of chemicals while they go, but I’ve never personally done that.
