  • Self Harm Smurf was right in a wrong way and learned there was more to life than dancing along the edge.

  • Because Alta Dena contractors tripled their prices for work in new homes in anticipation of developers. The homeowners who live in the area are either established old families who don't have money but lived in the area for a few generations or are part of the CalTech/JPL crowd that don't worry about money. No one can afford to rebuild even if they wanted to. Not even the engineers. My friends lost their jobs and homes in the same year and they can't go back. DOGE eviscerated JPL.

  • socialism with Chinese characteristics

    It's literally the same functional mechanics as free market capitalization EXCEPT that the state owns a part of every company. The people don't. The state does. And only uses it for authoritarian control, which is the Chinese characteristic. China is functionally a capitalist market with state owned companies.

    If China controlled the 3rd party companies in the country then maybe it could be construed as socialist but they own nothing about Apple or NVidia yet billions of dollars flow through them. China is an open market that uses subsidies to offset poor management in those companies. Basically the same thing America did to failing companies in 2008 (looking at you GM).

  • America is a nation of skeptics who learn the hard way. Frankly I'm glad America learns at all. Could be historically recidivist like Russia.

  • Yes! Fruit and chocolate are gross together. It is nearly impossible to find an ice cream with fruit that doesn't have chocolate or white chocolate or stripes of some cocoa variety. Chocolate has absolutely ruined dessert.

  • He changed his name so it'd be "Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin caulkin'"

  • Oh, good point! I forgot they had a big textile use for the ammonia.

  • I will say California wines are amazing. IMO usually better than French or Italian wines.

    I’m a bit surprised Italy and France are such big importers of wine. One would think they produce so much wine, they would consume their own.

    It's export wine selling on the prestige of the country. They want California wine as much as everyone else.

  • pennies for a tomato while the dollars go to suits. Boycott

  • Welsh rarebit is open faced grilled cheese

  • Uno frijole negro

  • Nope. I rarely call Trouble by her full name but Princess Peanut Trouble Sparkle knows when she fucked up. Her sister has a name but shows up to "Honey". Their older brother has only ever used "Dmitri" at the vet and is "hey old man" at home.

  • I worked at a support call center and those call backs were legit because we didn't want to have our on-hold rate above a few minutes but only had about 20 bodies to handle about 600 calls a day. The only way we could meet our internal KPIs was to offer call backs. The bonus of this was that our CSAT went up almost 15 percent with this. Win win for us and the customer.

  • The DNC is captured opposition to the GOP. The geopolitical contributions of bad actors are found in the wallets and coffers of both major organizations. At least the DNC local candidates aren't negligent monsters.

  • i'm not giving or getting anything

    At least you get that

  • What should we personally aspire to? Am I not to have a way to turn my hobby into a way to sell something? Just fuck those of us who want to make a little side money. Can't have shit with anarchists man.

  • Donald doesn't have boats. He can't swim

  • Texas, where you are such a rugged individual that law enforcement is only set dressing. You got this! (^Except ^school ^shootings, ^where ^cops ^shoot ^kids ^and ^stop ^the ^parents)

  • Was the recommendation the broad "research this thing" or "you must adopt this"? Because it sounds like the therapist is having you look at your lifestyle to see if there are beneficial habits that can be built into your routine.

    It feels like there are some details missing from the session: did the therapist cover the low demand lifestyle or put the research and details on you? Were you previously talking about anxiety or frustration throughout your day? I don't want the details or answers but to highlight that your post was scant and set us up to disagree with the therapist. Therapists usually have a valid outside perspective and yours seems to think you will find success in how you manage and perform your habits.
