I buy experiences and consumables. No more stuff.

was this on MTV?

Huh. I remember the name but don’t think I ever saw it. Interesting idea though.

I have some contact with my siblings but pretty much only see most people once a year for holidays. I could do without the holidays, honestly.

There is probably truth to what you say but I will point out that people used to get pocket guides to carry around that explained how things worked in the target country and provided basic phrases for ordering in restaurants, saying thank you, and such.

The problem is that you don’t want to record important information like passwords so if they did log them, it’s another possible vector of loss. I e if someone got into that copy of the data

This was also my takeaway. Sounds like a security nightmare if they are logging any data.

Likewise, rebooting every successful series from the 80s and 90s for the same reason.

I was aware that shops and restaurants couldn’t sell food marked as expired but I had thought that the dates were still arbitrary. That’s what I learned about today.

Nice comment! TIL

Sure but that is not on their radar.

There are regulations around what you can call organic. Any issue you have here is probably more geared towards the laws themselves.

Anything you can think of if there isn’t a law that says they can’t. One big one for me is expiration dates. Aside from, say, milk, they really don’t mean much.

What reset? This sounds made up.

I think that what you are noting is that narcissism can be caused by differences in brain structure, like in psychopathy, or by differences in upbringing, like in sociopathy. In the first case, you’re born that way. In the second case, trauma and such made you that way.

Those are personality disorders, not forms of neurodivergence.

What doesn’t add up to me is why he used a gift card instead of using credit. I suspect that there is more going on here.

You mean to say that some people who write history are biased. History itself does not hold agency.

History isn’t a living thing, it’s a concept. People within history may be biased, however.
