I think for me it’s about focusing on what I can control and influence. I can do very little about the horrors of the world, but I can make my community better, I can make my friends and families lives better, and then it’s a net positive impact I’m leaving on the world.

Is that enough? I dunno, but for my own sanity it needs to be enough for right now.

Whatever the publicly stated purpose of the camp, the SS men who arrived there on 11 May 1933 were left in no illusion as to its real purpose by the speech given on that day by Johann-Erasmus Freiherr von Malsen-Ponickau

Comrades of the SS! You all know what the Fuehrer has called us to do. We have not come here for human encounters with those pigs in there. We do not consider them human beings, as we are, but as second-class people. For years they have been able to continue their criminal existence. But now we are in power. If those pigs had come to power, they would have cut off all our heads. Therefore we have no room for sentimentalism. If anyone here cannot bear to see the blood of comrades, he does not belong and had better leave. The more of these pig dogs we strike down, the fewer we need to feed.

It’s a masturbation joke.

But it doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier so it doesn’t really do me much good.

Uh, isn’t that what this is?

I’ll probably quit next week, this one has been rough. I’m not addicted though.

NDAs generally prohibit you from stating that you are under NDA.

Better to be cryptic “I can’t really go into details due to my clearance”.

…Dad?

I hope your eggs are newer than your bills.

The beans stay in the safe, everyone knows this.

Although somewhat unrelated, I thought this excerpt from the article was interesting and sad.

Asked in an interview if he regrets Balatro’s success, he replied: "Honestly, yeah. Don’t get me wrong - this has changed my life in a lot of amazing ways. I’m so grateful. But I do miss that time before. It was just a hobby that recharged my batteries. Sometimes I think, ‘Maybe I would’ve been happier if I had never released this game to the public.’

The lack of hair on the knuckles is the strangest part to me.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that smoking (including exposure to secondhand smoke) is linked to around 480,000 deaths per year in the United States.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), roughly 40,000 people die in motor‐vehicle crashes in the US each year.

Smoking accounts for roughly 12 times more deaths annually than motor vehicle accidents in the US

I feel seen.

You’re definitely gonna wanna keep those.

I’m really sick of how pervasive it is everywhere now. You can’t sell a product or provide a service nowadays without advertising some AI aspect. I wish that would go away.

I actually pay for a chatGPT premium account because personally I find a lot of value in it. I use it to help with writing, picture analyzing (what species of … is this), and a lot more. I just wish I could decide when I want AI involved and when I don’t.

Do you know where you are?

It’s wild to me that somehow the elite controllers are worst than their cheaper brothers. I’ve owned both series. Both sucked hard.
