Cooking a whole chicken

I program too; some days 11 hours, some days 2 or less. I have never been able up to do a steady schedule.

And if I code too much over a few days, I take time off to heal my brain

But however tacky that is, the congressman is senile, and not the only one in congress.

Very much so this. Been free of direct bosses for a decade ( clients are the replacement bosses though).

But I can fire my bosses, and have once. And I have total control about my workplace ( home).

There are many downsides, it’s not all good. I think the trade off is worth it

Right? I left after they heavily promoted podcasts I did not feel comfortable about. But their long list of antics and misdeeds kept me away.

This new thing… wow.

I’m not sure USA politics can be solved by replacing individuals. Seems to be an institutional issue

Shows even more what a bad-ass he was. Small, sick, crippled and still the best

When people have limited choices to vote on, voting for a or b does not make them like a or b.

It just means it’s a “boiling the frog situation” when gradually changing the goalposts makes people not notice the real issues.

The average American really has not changed that much from the past generations, but the candidates that are allowed to run in either party have drifted rightward.

If I want to vote for green, and I can choose only on a greyscale, my interpretation of which shade of gray might be closest to green might be a personal choice, highly disputed.

Once one sees this pattern it’s very hard to unsee. Much like how web pages are rewritten for google search.

I think it’s important to understand, and learning this will help see through a lot of bs in other issues.

While it’s bad there are crimes being committed in Gaza, the coverup is a first rate teaching opportunity because there are so many public comparisons which are well documented. Many other issues that are given this treatment in mainstream media are harder to pin down, for people outside the loop on a particular issue
