I’ve literally been doing this for lunches. Bake a loaf of bread, have a rotisserie chicken on hand for the week, a block of cheese. Boom. Lunch.
And when I have soke more time or am tired of that, make some porridge with oats and chicken. Maybe a little broth, some onions, seasonings.
Dont underestimate peasant mode. Lunch for the whole week for like $12

True! Co-ops are great

It also depends on the state the company is incorporated in, but yeah that’s true.
And it is a duty to the corporation (legal entity), notably not to the workers themselves; so while the interests of workers and the corporation may align sometimes - you don’t have to do what’s best for the workers if it isn’t best for the company.
You still need to operate lawfully, and you can’t pay so little that you can’t hire/retain anyone, and you need to pay enough that you can hire people skilled enough to do the job, but you need to pay (ideally) only that amount and no more. Anything else takes away from profits and, you could say, makes the company less likely to succeed - if the company doesn’t succeed, then no one would have jobs. Or so they’d argue.
The same as for goods, the price of labor is treated by employers as “what the market will bear”. For goods, that means higher prices, for labor it means lower prices.

The reason for this is pretty simple: necessity.
Companies have a fiduciary duty to maximize profits for shareholders.
If no union exists, that means depressing wages as much as possible while meeting staffing needs.
If a union is forming, it means spending as much as you need to stop it since, if you don’t, you’ll be unable to depress wages over the long term.
When a union exists, well then they have to negotiate to continue operations and so workers get paid more fairly.

I’m not saying it’s rational, it just feels like more money.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 1 month ago:
Little different for me:
$1 - 5 = $5
$6 - 12 = $10
$13 - 20 = $20
$21 - 50 = $50
$51 - 70 = $100
$70 = $1000

That’s a really good point. Sliding scale payment maybe (with no cap on income - if you make a million bucks a year and are always speeding, you’re going to be paying a hefty fine)
- Comment on This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ? 1 month ago:
I feel like the better option is to have local government foot the bill - but the driver owes the value of the device if it’s lost or damaged. In theory, insurance would have to cover at least some of this and they can still use their car. AND if they drive safely, they should owe nothing long-term.
That’s idealistic though. I’m sure the “tough on crime” crowd would want the individual to foot the bill.
- Comment on This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ? 1 month ago:
And speed is highly correlated to the lethality of car wrecks. Also, it sounds like the devices wosuld be installed in the cars of people who… speed frequently.
So, it is directly addressing the problem without asset seizure or jail time. Sounds like an ideal solution, actually.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 1 month ago:
Idk. I think people get legitimate prescriptions and sell pills, mostly. If it’s not buying from someone you know who sourced them that way, idk how you’d verify it’s what they say it is.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I know some Gen Z college kids, and I will attest they definitely spend significant money on alcohol. And cigarettes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the vice money is just split between alcohol, cigarettes, weed, vape carts, and adderall.

Oh yeah for sure. Just make sure it isn’t sorbitol or you’d spend the same time on the toilet that cigarettes would shorten your life by

Idk, seems like a variable reinforcement schedule to me. They are typically more effective at building lasting behaviors.
I think this would just get you addicted to gum while tapering you off nicotine (assuming you decrease the number ofnicotine gum pieces).

Definitely dinstinct leches. Also plant milks: almond, oat, coconut. Coconut cream should also count IMO. Then there is condensed coconut milk as well.

My wife is on the ace spectrum. She enjoys sex, but only experiences reactive sexual desire (i.e. she’ll get in the mood once sex is basically already happening). Effectively she does not experience sexual desire in the way people typically mean that.
That’s been a struggle for us. We don’t do scheduled sex, but it’s something we’ve considered. Even though we have very good (if infrequent) sex, the frequency isn’t the thing that’s hard for me to deal with. The hardest thing is not feeling desired in ways I am used to in relationships. That has made me feel insecure and just overall is not great. But it’s something we’ve had to work through.
So all that goes to say: yes, if you find the right person you’ll be able to make it work. The key, in my opinion, is talking about it and being very clear about how you’re wired and that it isn’t anything wrong with them.

- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 4 months ago:
It stops taking as much effort eventually. Then you can tune out the noise and think about stuff. Or it never does because everyone is different, I guess, but then you just do what you have to do.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 4 months ago:
That’s true. But finding inner quiet is an even more necessary skill in those situations. But, I’m autistic, so I totally get if the stimulation is just too much. Though I went through a lot of discomfort to be okay in environments like that.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 4 months ago:
It’s good to enjoy quiet and not be constantly surrounding yourself with noise. It’s an important skill to be able to sit in silence and not rely on external stimulation to feel okay.
You’re probably not a buddhist, but the buddha warned about this like 2300 years ago. He said that “going to festivals” (they didn’t have recorded music back then of course, so that’swhere you heard it) and hearing the music is nice and enjoyable, but doing it too much would prevent you from spiritual development & mindfulness. Monks were even forbidden from singing, dancing, etc. and laypeople were just encouraged to stay mindful of their consumption.
