I mean, yeah, it would be great if Amazon took Monero, but I don’t see them ever even considering that.

I always called it a sweat jacket.
Yes! Thank you! That’s what i was looking for.
Although, yeah, Ramsey definitely has had his share of controversy, so I listen to the episodes with a grain of salt.
Yeah, I tried a few episodes. Couldn’t really get into it for some reason. Maybe I’ll try again.
I currently can only read free books (open for recommendations, although I think I wrung the classics dry for all their worth), but I found a book in one of those mobile libraries that does actually have me hooked: The Innocent by Harlan Coben.
It’s not even close to being the best book I ever read. But it’s well written enough and well plotted enough to keep me hooked. Probably my biggest gripe is the author’s description of the women is how attractive they are. Even when he’s describing the protagonists’ wife, he only describes how much the main character thinks she’s hot. Not a complete turn-off, but still a gripe. 😅
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
It wasn’t terrible by any means. But I kept being told how-fast paced and gripping it was.
The fastest the pace went was the main character ducking behind a barrier in a very brief firefight.
I’m not one of those action junkies, but I was kind of expecting more.
I was living at or below the poverty line for years before COVID. As a senior developer, I wasn’t finding any work. Then when COVID hit, I wasn’t able to keep up with the work. I was finally earning 6 figures. I was able to travel (like in a jet, legitimate travel) for the first time–just because. It was amazing. I was able to network with people and provide value for people. I felt like my career was suddenly moving!
Then around 2021-2022 all my clients abandoned me, my network ghosted me, and I was back to square one. That’s where I am today.
I’m working on having a breakthrough because someone college-educated with a GitHub profile should not be standing at food bank lines every month.
With me it depends on quality & depth.
If I socialize with a really good friend (or a romantic interest–which hasn’t been for a while 🙁 ) every day, that invigorates me.
But if I drag myself out to even one hour long social event for a week I have to spend 8 weeks recovering. 🤣 (OK, maybe not that long, but you get the idea).
Just goes to show that love can help turn someone’s life around.
Thankfully I haven’t been in the prison system (and I don’t know anyone personally who is), nor do I hope to. But it seems like a very bleak existence.
I’m glad cats are giving the prisoners at least a substitute of love and support.
I just wanna give that little guy a pat on the head. good job, little beaver. Keep making your home.
I’ve been hearing about sustainable animal food as well, at least in the context of marine life. Counter-intuitively, avoiding overfishing results in more fish. It’s probably similar with farming…avoiding over-farming results in more and better quality cattle/milk.
I’m not a biologist, though, but I’m just guessing.
Already had one power outage, another is on the way.
I actually kinda like power outages. They’re sort of an adventure.
The only gut-punch is that I’ve been looking for work for a while now. Hoping on a miraculous break-through soon. But I had to ask for money from friends for non-perishables.
Was it ever for jobs?
Been an active user for well over 5 years and not one interaction has resulted in a job.
A bunch of people acting like they were hiring, sure.
FitnessBlender has a few “People who get bored easily” workouts. As an ADHD-er I often followed them. I still work out, but I don’t follow the videos as much.
Would Ultimate HIIT Workout for People Who Get Bored Easily - Fat Burning HIIT Cardio Workout hit the spot?–I mean, HIIT the spot?
This was really good. My only (very small) gripe was that the acting was stilted. Other than that, it was absolutely enjoyable.
Inspiring Philosophy lays out the whole issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei0gPoqx_bQ
I know it’s age-blocked due to some of the content, so if anyone knows where to find the youtube-alternative link that would be awesome.

It’s not easy, but I used to be in the “we need to make everything fair” crowd.
Now (currently unable to afford groceries myself) I’m part of the “if I’m not getting paid my worth, I must show my worth.”
Yeah, most online stores don’t accept gift cards, unfortunately. 🙁 Especially Amazon…tried to order some much needed products with Amazon cards, and they require a bank card.
IME, (on Amazon at least…and a few others I’ve tried) masked cards are usually accepted as bank cards. Gift cards are not.
I’d love to build myself a privacy-respecting online store that accepts everything from Monero to cash to Apple pay (for the general populous that doesn’t care), but I sort of lack the capital. 😅
