All part of the system. Stay healthy, friend!

The system traps you within. Breaking away from it can be a difficult venture and cannot be done completely without some retribution from the system itself. They’ll punish you for it to some degree and people have even been killed over it.
But yes, vanlife (or off-grid living) can liberate you to be potentially happier. At the very least unencumbering oneself from the odious monthly outlay just to live helps a lot. I don’t choose to do this (yet), but have friends that exist this way.

Yes, but I like his video better.
- Comment on USA Air Force issues new guide regarding acceptable phrases to be used when on duty 3 weeks ago:
We had other version suited for the office. For example, “Nice tie!” meant “fuck off” or something. Still looking again for the specific one we used in IT 20 years ago.

Dr Otto is a regular in our family. Mr Varney has been revered by us for years. Glad to know others do as well.

I loved watching Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs, but lately he looks like a right wing nut job pushing conspiracies, so you are probably correct.

LOL. This has been my avatar in several games/forums for years now. I went and found the image when this was reposted to reddit a few years back. The monkey just looks cool!

Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.
- Comment on Smoking PSA 4 months ago:
Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.

T’was a joke. I haven’t shaved with a razor for a few years. Just knock em down with an electric trimmer. I then keep buzzing all around my head. I don’t have time for hair anymore. 😬
I do think I own the five-blade versions from Costco. They’ve lasted for a long time since I hate using a razor in the first place. My father used the single edge safety razor. Wish I’d thought to ask for it when he passed. I would try using it.

I don’t know…the commercial with the cartoon showing sixteen blades are needed for that baby smooth face seemed pretty convincing.
- Comment on Incinerating Toilet: How it Works & My Review 6 months ago:
Incineration toilets are more common in remote facilities where disposal of excrement can pose contamination risks. That’s how I learnt of them by watching documentaries.

By OSHA, you mean Lemmy right?
Then yes, OSHA was contacted.

We just saw the episode where the wraith took over Kinko’s body and threatened to kill her if O’Brien didn’t reconfigure the comm relays. I thought, “Here’s your way out, Miles!”
- Comment on Progress! 9 months ago:
I am in S05 of DS9 (first watch) and saw this one recently in S04. We really enjoyed it.
Do they ever bring up that O’Brien isn’t the original O’Brien they knew, but rather the future O’Brien that swapped places? … I didn’t think so.

I was indeed wondering, so thank you!

It also could’ve been a lesson for her in being overly flippant with people who do sometimes have genuine problems they are mired in.
- Comment on Rough days 9 months ago:
I have an overabundance of “staircase wit”.
- Comment on I feel so old. 9 months ago:
I am on apple. The other day two people from a group of friends were texting me and sent videos. The apple user sent a nice vid. The next was from a potato back 20 years in time. Or it could have been the latest android flagship. I don’t really know, but it feels annoying and unnecessary.

Most places I’ve seen this referenced it is called a “credit freeze”, but good advice nonetheless.

Honestly, even I would very much not want to review some of my style choices as a young person.

Or “iced dessert”. <25% milkfat is the line, I think.
- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 10 months ago:
Boeing whistleblower. Worked there 30-years and was on travel giving depositions and showed up dead in the carpark. Initial report is a “self-inflicted” wound, but even if Boeing didn’t kill him, it doesn’t look good.
