Damn I forgot about dre.

I mostly don't. Maybe this isn't the kind of answer you were interested in. I think memorable experiences are transient and are more beautiful the more fleeting they are. The more I try to immortalize some moment, the less I feel I'm able to enjoy it in the moment. There are some exceptions. I keep recipes in Google keep. Most of them I just know how to make but I might need my memory jogged for a measurement or temp setting. I also have a small notebook I use as a gym journal. "Journalling" seems like a stretch for the chicken-scratch numbers, though. It's mostly so I know how much weight to use next time I go.

Oh yeah. My knowledge of how to make 3 perfectly flat surface plates will rebuild the origins of precision.

A lot of cool projects on here. I'm not actually a programmer so everything I've done is little more than a script. In high school, I taught myself python by solving project euler problems. Many of them involved prime numbers so I got increasingly good at making prime number generators. I was really proud of getting it down to just a couple lines of elegant simplicity.

They're not asking all of NATO for security guarantees, just the US. I think they should look for the "coalition of the willing" to base tripwire forces in Ukraine post-war. That will make a more credible deterrent for Russia than "we promise to help you if Russia attacks". That credibility is exactly why Russia is against European forces permanently based in Ukraine.

I think that's not telling the whole story. I would argue the main factor is atomization and social isolation which have increased over time. COVID also launched a lot of apps and probably got some people hooked. And I think hooked is the right word. I think door dash is designed to be addictive. Has restaurant service quality decreased over time? I haven't noticed a very significant drop in quality.

Then add the slurry to the beef stew

It doesn't matter. Nobody is going to be convinced by anything you say. The protesters won't be especially hurt by a really good burn. You could yell gibberish into the megaphone. The important thing is that you are there, loudly showing your support for the drag queens.

I unironically love it and think it will be a cult classic in 10 years. It's so stupidly ambitious and unapologetic. It's beautiful too. I love how you find out in the first scene that the main character can stop time (the only one with any kind of superpower) and that turns out not to be very relevant for the rest of the movie. Fuck Chekhov's gun, amirite. Frank stockpiled wine money for years to make exactly what he wanted to make and damnit he did. I'll happily see it in theaters.

A few of my friends recommended Eraserhead. It felt like David Lynch was seeing what he could get away with.

White person who is part of the in-group now probably doesn't realize they won't always be part of the in-group. They stand to gain from the relative balance of power in society shifting more toward them while it lasts. Even if their groceries are more expensive, their opportunities more limited, their freedoms curtailed, they will benefit from a higher social status of being part of the in-group and loudly supporting the oppression of the out-group. The out-group will have even more expensive groceries, even fewer opportunities and freedoms. By comparison, the in-group is elevated. I don't think we should pretend that fascists and the complicit are not acting in their best interest. They are, for now.

In the very long term, yes, people act against their best interests. But a poor white person stands to gain something in a more racist world. A far right dictatorship sounds inherently bad to you or me. Even if we weren't personally affected by it at all, it would be bad. But a lot of people don't notice or don't care. Before society completely collapses, a straight white Christian male does stand to gain from others being oppressed.
