    he is richer than any of us, but he doesn't strike me as someone who is even remotely content. Those two things are not the same thing.

    Cockroaches make me uncomfortable, but I would not say I fear them. As a kid I was the designated person in the family to deal with all manner of bugs and just whatever. Except for…

    this is bizarre. I lived in my last apartment for almost 9 years and it was great for the first 7.5 of those. Things did start going downhill when it went from being owned by a loc…

    I live in Canada (many dark months) and am a woman who knows many women and I've never known anyone to wear a vest with a light on them. I do own a hat with a light that I use when…

    I'm 39 and the post resonates with me too. I think it's more a temperamental or values thing than an age one, but I might be wrong.

    They were polled, on election day. Most Americans want this, or didn't care enough to stop it. Potato, potahto.

    I've been to 45 countries and agree with the person you're talking to.

    I'm Canadian and I can tell you this was always part of Project 2025, which was extremely obviously the plan all along. So I don't know. Assuming the American voter can read and an…

    Google has been going downhill for a decade now. I've been paying for Kagi for like four years. I like it but also resent that it's something I pay for now when I remember how good…

    you can really tell the people building these tools spend a lot of time alone. I work from a home office 90% of the time and I wouldn't want this to be my workflow. I don't want to…
