If you one day turn your back and head into the woods, I’d say Costco should be the very last big box store you shop with. They’re a for-profit company but they’re one of the last reasonable ones.

Another gift to short-sellers until the inevitable “pause”.

I’m hoping Lingonaut will be available before my subscription renews in December. Otherwise it’s RocketLanguages through my library.

I like learning Japanese but I’m done with the gamified streaks and badges and passive aggressive widgets.

I use em and en dashes according to traditional grammar rules. Been that way for years. It just looks and reads nicer. AI won’t take that from me.

Dividends on AAPL are fairly flimsy relative to its year-over-year performance. It’s not enough for me to dump mine but this is just petty.

At scale I can see a pension fund swapping in international stocks. When that happens US stocks will go down anyways so wheeeee.

“Unfair” tax? Everything is unfair when he can’t take total advantage of somebody. What an emotional baby.

Go get that money, workers. The post office is a public service, not a business. It’s allowed not to be profitable.

If they want to branch out they could always offer basic phone and banking services like they do in some other countries.

I believe there will be no charge…

Sadly, yes. There are all sorts of carve-outs and exceptions for heads of state and diplomats.

Danielle Smith is deplorable enough without resorting to misogyny.

Edit: thank you

I find trying to assign reasoning to the unreasonable a waste of time. The bigot personality doesn’t respond to anything except the fear of consequences.

So you show up in public, in huge numbers, and demonstrate that bad behavior isn’t welcome. They’ll retreat to the edges of society until the next would-be despot shows up. Hopefully in less numbers over time.
