I read the other day about a protocol called Gemini.

https://geminiprotocol.net/

It might fit what you are looking for, if you goal is just to publish interesting content, or get the experience learning something new and different, but not for you if you want to monetize.

It is an alternate to the internet. You can self host there, also, but they have built Gemini to be unable to support applications, bots, malware etc… it goes much deeper, if you are curious, you should read, I am fascinated.

It was a little popup that opened the first time I clicked the link. It does not open on subsequent link clicks.

Hey. That link said first name last name (presumably yours) shared that document with you.

Might want to clean that up for privacy sake.

The platform, aka El Hoyo

It is about a futuristic prison, where food is distributed to inmates in a vertical prison. They have elected to be there, on promise of reward on release. They are fed on a vertical table, the descends, level by level.

IMO, it is really about humanity and the choice between self service and a greater good.

It is a great movie. The sequel… Eh.

Less curious about cluster b personality disorders, specifically, and more interested in the practical understanding that (in this case) sometimes, the reason behind someone not valuing another is really about them trying to protect themselves.

The connection between contempt, grandiosity, and shame; it makes sense intuitively, but it is interesting to spell it out that way.

What about other big emotions, how many others are really outputs of another?

Is their a field of study that focuses solely on the behavior, and the root cause, in the way your third and forth paragraphs does? Or, like, a flowchart of emotions and root causes? That was an interesting way to dissect why people might behave in that way.

It might be.

I am surrounded by kind, decent people, but same. They don’t think about, or engage in, these sorts of thoughts, and I try. They just shrug and say their little impact, isn’t enough of an impact to try. Meanwhile, I am over here having a daily existential crisis about all the stupid packaging on my second hand jeans.

I think it is because code switching goes beyond just the words someone uses, and more into how the words are used, and the cultural expectations that come along with the way those words are said.

A lot of those cultural expectations are very American in flavor.

maybe you also experience the same, I am not sure, but I do think it is deeper than just language.

Which ones are you in? I like personal finance and am in several on Reddit, but none here.

I called both of them. One got my thanks, and one my dissatisfaction. I don’t think he cares… But I did anyway.

I called one and said thanks. Called the other, and told his voicemail the same thing. Not that he will listen… Useless human.

I feel like maybe we should call our 4 senators (AK, MW and both KY) and say thanks for voting the way the did. I am from AK, I generally don’t agree with a lot of what Lisa does, but she does have a history of occasional rank breaking, and, performative or not, she is still one of the only senators who doesn’t religiously fall in line.

Eh. I don’t love burrito heaven. But I also eat breakfast burritos almost exclusively, so maybe that is it.

It is amazing. They put mango salsa on it.

If you ever come to Anchorage, Alaska. Burrito factory. It’s in a gas station, but they have a proper kitchen, and cook to order. Super weird, I know, but i take all my friends there when they come for a visit, and they always ask to go again, the next time they come up.

…it was delicious. I thought I abolished you… No more nonsense, thank you.

Yes! I do not understand children in breweries. It seems like irresponsible parenting to me. Taking your kid with you to a place not meant for them, while you drink, and then getting into your car and driving your kid home after?

Just go have a beer at home ffs, and don’t subject me to your kid running around like a… Kid.

You, sir or madam, are an abomination and should be abolished.

Pineapple is only slimy when inappropriately treated. For pizza you need to cut into small chunks, drain over a sink for a minute, and then quick fry in a pan to give a little caramelization. THEN put on pizza and bake. It is magic, paired with Canadian bacon, salty, sweet. Yum

Best breakfast burrito: the Hawaiian. Ham, potatoes, pineapple, eggs, sour cream. In fact, you have inspired me, with your hateful statements this morning, and I’ll be putting and order in shortly.

This is it, exactly.

I was at one of the Alaska empty-chair town halls, and it was good to just be around others with similar thoughts. Being surrounded by action, in a place where it is super unusual is uplifting. We arrived on time, and couldn’t even get into the event because it was already full.

Each time we get together, more people come, more people talk, and share upcoming events.

I didn’t think so. What a dick

‘Edwards kept good humor throughout the raucous town hall, telling attendees at the end that he enjoyed hearing the crowd’s “passion” and “patriotism.” In a news conference afterward, Edwards said Trump and Musk were “over the target” in what they set out to accomplish.’

Edited, grabbed the wrong quote

I confirm this anecdote. Just got my booster yesterday, and I know I am not alone.
