I try to remember that we’re voting for an entire administration and presidential appointments, an apparatus much larger than one old man. It’s cold comfort, but it’s something.

As I’m watching it, Mozart’s Requiem in D minor is playing in my head.
That is fascinating. I wonder if the wavelength of green light is better because of something akin to harmonic resonance.
I had a buddy in the UK I chatted with on this thing in the early days. We thought we were so cool using it. We were not.
Researchers will be studying Trump and his followers for decades to come. A gold mine of data to help them better understand the mechanisms of authoritarian populism and cognitive dissonance.
I felt bad reading this. Fast food is way too expensive here in 2024. And then you had to write an essay justifying yourself because of all the pedantic jerks who love to pounce on the smallest of things.
Yup. They violate HIPAA all the time, too. Rules for thee, not for me.
Oh cool, Cunningham’s Law in action.
These things are less safe, yet I see people driving aggressively and recklessly more than ever.
Here’s an updated way to bypass it. This Youtuber is a little cheerful-cheesy, but the info is good.
That’s not what we’re talking about and you know it. False narrative. The article specifically mentions violence and bullying. If you don’t know that fat people also get viciously bullied on top of the “concerned about your health” from loved ones, you are the one who is isolated from reality.
Meanwhile, bosses: Imma need you all to come back in to the office…because reasons.
Sure, but that doesn’t address harassment and bullying. If you think they just “need a thicker skin” you haven’t been bullied in any meaningful way by a large group of hostile people.
Good advice already replied. Definitely have a business-only phone and a personal-only phone. I’d consider two different phone OS’s if you can. Keep crossover data as minimal as possible.
Would love to read a follow-up post from you 6-12 months down the line. Best of luck. It’s absurd how difficult this is in 2024.
Too many of them think protecting these folks from bullying and harassment on one beach for one day is some kind of threat to civilization. Typical moral panic.
Woops, I should have considered that. I certainly don’t blame you for not wanting to play their little game of sending them all that bullshit. There’s Venmo and other options anyway.
Well said, and thank you. I agree that shaming doesn’t work. Fat people have the unfortunate disadvantage that their personal problem is so visible to others. The social dynamics would radically change if other types of problems were equally visible. Say you have a gambling problem and your skin turns green, or you cheated on your spouse and you grow a third eye on your forehead. Things like that. People love to judge and not be judged.
If Biden gets re-elected, and behind the scenes it’s really Kamala Harris and/or Jill Biden in charge… I’m OK with that. Trump will accelerate all the bad things. From climate change to hollowing out the working class to kissing Putin’s ass and worse.
