Mornings aren't relaxing. Even on the weekends, you have to prepare to show yourself to everyone around you when you go grocery shopping and whatnot.

kalshi please screw off, I could not give less of a crap about gambling LEAVE ME ALONE, why is it the only f***ing ad I get

I'm an immigrant who has lived in the US for 8 years. I'm now a naturalized citizen. I follow many sports and have wanted to understand American football for some time. But I find it confusing because I didn't grow up with it. I've been keen to learn it so I don't look clueless during the Super Bowl and so I can feel like a "true" American. I've read up on it lately and understand the basics better than I used to. But I still find the deeper nuances of the plays hard to learn in adulthood. I recently bought the game "Madden" so I could improve my literacy. But I still can't understand anything in the video game despite thinking I understood the basic rules of the game. I think it's very difficult to really "get" this sport without actively following it from childhood or otherwise being involved with a team very closely. Unfortunately I don't have 3 hours to watch games often either, because that's just too much time.

I'll just stick to the NBA which is easier to understand and has shorter games. I think football is interesting but I've accepted that I don't need to fully understand it to feel like a "true" American.

Let’s say we go to the extremes and say we are now at the stage where AI can replace most jobs, all these middle class jobs such as working in finance, office work and banking etc could be replaced.
So in theory all that could be left is manual work such as working class tradesmen, and the top end company owners.

So I wonder if AI will shrink the middle class and create that 2 class system in the olden days with only being filthy rich or dirt poor

Obviously it would sell way more in holidays, but there is obviously some egg nog fans (I'm not one of them) who are already asking in October if it's out yet. There's got to be at least a few people who would buy it at any time of year, especially with the alcohol factor. Or at least have shelf stable tetra pak kind where the expiry date is not that scary even if the sales are mid.

It almost feels surreal to me that 6 years ago the world was in panic and businesses were shutting down and everyone had to wear a face mask and social distance. Then a few years later life just picked up normally again like none of that ever happened.

Imagine having enough money to literally never have to do any work again and being able to create, explore, invent and live out your wildest dreams. Instead they not only don't do that they actively styphen actual inventors abuse copyright and trademark and suppress wages while price gouging and making everything colorless.

Give me just a single million even 250K I'll be living my freaking dream and trying to create not just sitting there.

The world functions on convenience, customs rather than knowledge.

You can have a lot of knowledge but without societal support it’s nothing on an external level

I have skirts I've been wearing for years but the lack of pockets is so annoying 😮‍💨

Instead of having some deep topic-specific title or something, they’re always just “History” “Math” “Geography” because they were just built different

These cute little claymations are stupidly hilarious ✨

I wonder where we’d be in a thousand years. Would we be a spacefaring civilization that harvests energy from the sun, or would we be back to sticks and stones.

I bought one as an incentive to eat better (275/125 is not healthy). I said, let's try this, if it works, we'll use it for preparing breakfast smoothies. + 2 boiled eggs. And I asked customer service, they said they'll take returns if it doesn't work out.

it was I think like $50, not absolutely sure, so I was iffy, but it's really nice. I can make me some Dirty Palmer or peaches and rum smoothies with it too :)

I hate giant blenders, too heavy and too annoying to clean.

Only thing is Magic Bullet or whatever doesn't have extra of the right cups on their website so you have to buy them on Amazon -_-

But it was definitely *not* a waste of money

I have soo many life memories I completely forget and suddenly a song starts playing and so do my memories. It's the same with shows/movies, if I ever need to remind myself why I love something I put on a song or a soundtrack and I just know. But also whenever I think of certain things I also start to hear the music that I would use to remember that thing.

Just now I was thinking of BoJack Horseman and Mr. Blue by Catherine Feeny started playing in my mind. I remembered the show, how I felt about the show, and how life felt at that time. It's such a cool medium for memories.

One of my favorite songs of all time is only my favorite because it was playing when I stood up for myself as a kid to my bully. Which was I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. I stood up to that annoying kid and he left me alone for the rest of my time in that school.
