Someone mentioned TJs PB cups and they're insanely good.
Assuming some mass produced shit (not a homemade cookie) the runner up right now is Skittles Sour Gummies. Whatever Frankenstein concoction of psychotic food science flavoring is in the traditional candies made it intact into this spinoff. Instead of sandpaper citric acid crystals shaving your tongue to a pulp like the OGs, they're perfectly chewy, and so easy to eat on long bike rides when the rest of you is exhausted. The worst part is trying not to eat them when you haven't earned the calories.

Anyone who thinks "For the articles" is just a joke may not have picked up an issue. My neighbor gifted me a huge swath when he retired. The porn is fine - some of it even crosses into "good" - but 80% of the magazine is interviews, short stories, letters, and politics.
I'd pay for a subscription today if it still existed.

Knowing what little we do about your side hustle, I think you're fine.
Paying for API access can be valuable if you have a lot of data you want to curate/generate. Imagine you are selling 10k items and want to take the specs + reviews to make better descriptions or something.
That's it though, you won't get much better quality from another model or benefit out of building your own rig. Yet.

Just replying to point out this is an insightful take, thanks for making it.

Anyone answering this question should consider the middle of the bell curve. Of course, at the extremes, men are typically going to have an edge, but on average, what are women better at?
There are other silly minimizations: EX: Better Handwriting "just because of small hands". It doesn't matter what the source of the advantage is; the discussion is whether or not it's there. Men are only faster sprinters because of their skeleton and muscles anyway.
Finally, dismissing women's ability to be primarily responsible for creating and sustaining life is cope. Just because they need sperm to get to that point doesn't diminish the power of it at all. A single dude can be milked to provide the biological matter for hundreds of women. It's clear they've had to make significant physiological and social compromises to have this ability, but it's obviously a huge fucking deal. Maybe I'm simping because it's mother's day, but still.

MTG and in-person gaming is always going to be less "damaging" than vidyas. I strongly disagree with the other comment here about that. Especially if you're getting them exposed at 7, they'll get over the insane excitement phase before the most important part of their development, and you still have a huge amount of control over when they play (What are they gonna do? Drive themselves to FNM and invest in a $300 booster box? I think MTG sucks compared to 10 years ago but whatever.
Another point for it over modern video games is they're all completely devoid of a social element. Every single one is locked down for no cross-gamer communication. To me this is a point against them - yes you're developing hand-eye coordination and problem solving, but you're doing so in isolation.
I'm a couple of years behind you, but my plan is to replay co-op games with my kids to start and give them single player games to get into. Once they're older I may open up the floodgates for multiplayer stuff, but probably I'll have them scratch that itch with MTG and board. We'll see!

I'm thankful to the Somali family for shutting down the NAACP's grifting fundraiser as quickly as they did.
One thing to note that I believe is true - the NAACP's fundraiser used this incident as an issue, but the funding was just for them. None of it was going to the family, so I'm not sure they lost anything by turning it down.
Honestly at this point if someone started a crowdfunding thing for me - whatever it was - and it tipped over probably around $50k I would not turn it down. I wouldn't care if it was people doing it to send a signal or whatever. I just can't believe this many people are stupid enough to donate. Being part of a CW flashpoint basically means people win the lottery, which is completely unfair. 90% of the people involved somehow turn out to be pieces of shit!

I did soylent for a bit, always found the original flavor ("Pancake Batter") to be my favorite. Would unflavored/sweetened be the closest there?
Did you replace real food with it?

Despite it being such a loaded term, smaller harems can be pretty functional for people in their pre-kid life. I think women (people?) are generally much more comfortable with this sort of arrangement than most expect.

Glad QC brought me here.
I am a 2-fragrance guy. I have been wearing D&G Light Blue for 15 years now, originally selected by the ex who broke my heart. By the time that happened I'd already invested a lot of my identity into it. My wife got me Coach for Men for fall and winter. It's not as evocative (college had passed me by at this time) but I still dig it. Would love your takes on these, good or bad.
One annoyance in my life is that I love so many scents, including for my grooming products. But I feel often as if I'm doing them a disservice when combined. My deodorant is admittedly mild, but when I'm doing that AND my sandalwood Aftershave AND cologne I always think "why am I doing this?". Maybe I'm just rambling but it seems like a problem some people may have solved.
Finally, I also wonder if you've read Jitterbug Perfume? I very much enjoyed the book.
You're correct that I purchased a subsidized Kindle. However the ads have gotten more obtrusive as updates have come in, and the subsidization is ONLY for the lock screen. You still get ads embedded in the OS, they're roughly 75% of the screen real estate.
It's honestly horrible.

You say UI doesn't matter, but Amazon's enshittification of the Kindle OS is a crime. My library is buried beneath ads.
As others have said I only read pirated books now. I don't trust publishers as license holders/DRM so being able to easily side load is key.

My personal belief is that one of the main advantages of being a man is the right to pee pretty much anywhere as long as you're discreet. It hurts nobody and I actually think it's enjoyable. I wouldn't pee on a stranger's lawn but that's about my only limitation.
That said I am perplexed that you have an emergency every trip. My children regularly handle 10+ hour road trips with no issues, and they have their own water bottles. It's also never a 20 minute detour for a gas station for me, maybe 3 minutes.

My dad and grandpa are/were similarly, unattainably excellent people. I may make more money even if my overall morality score has some generational decay. So at least I've got that going for me, which is nice.

They're not saying it's true, only perceived. Which is reality for many people

You're asking to have a debate about first principles for morality. What's getting lost, IMO, is my point about the politics of religious objections being a required component to push back on horrific public school curricula.
To be direct with you, I'm just not interested in a metaphysical debate about how people determine right or wrong without god. It's obvious to me that many, many people need god to be good. So you could almost say I agree with you when we're talking about the unwashed masses.
It is not a struggle I am personally familiar with. My morality is based around what's simple, obvious, and easy to mentally maintain. That's it.

There's already visual tweaks mods out there to do exactly what's being mentioned here.
Of course if they bury gender labels as a feature they'll be banned from Nexus within minutes, so don't rely on them but...

I decided to play an archer which I’ve never done
Amazing you didn't do a stealth archer like literally every other human. These games poisoned me into picking this archetype in almost EVERY videogame RPG, and most tabletop ones. It's sick, actually.

I'd agree cooperation is much easier. But that's thanks to technology and many other trappings of modernism, not Christianity.
In any case I'm being baited into theological/historical (?!?) arguments when my entire point was that LEGALLY I don't jive with the idea of only religious objections being allowed to contest curriculum components like puppy BDSM for toddlers.

My exact conclusion. Come on, you've got these files right next to each other with close enough names to fuck this up? It stretches the limits of credibility.
Does MTA get to use this as evidence now? Yeesh.

It's impossible to call it wrong without reference to a higher authority.
No, I don't agree with this in the slightest. Cooperation is useful. Having a happy wife who helps maintain my life is objectively superior to a sex slave chained in my basement.

I think this board's religious makeup is coming out a bit here. I'll give christianity partial credit, because, of course, I'm very sure it wasn't paganism or Islam.
But I utterly refuse to concede that my parental instinct is 100% ascribable to a system of belief I've never been part of, or to a god that doesn't exist.

I think that misses the point. Historically, Christianity may have helped suggest we stop grooming and fucking kids, but the state requiring you to cite a religious reason for not wanting to do so now seems like an anti-pattern. I shouldn't need to go to church to defer my kid's sexual awakening until they have a meaningful boner.

I suspect it's unaddressed because it's an incredibly minor problem.
Really? What major were you? Because having an utterly worthless TA for 90% of my math and programming courses was brutal. The few that did have a native American TA were lightyears different.
I am a China Hawk, and I think it is absolutely braindead not to siphon off every bit of human capital
Really? The number of Chinese students we retain is awful (under 50%, sources are all wildly different) and has been dropping continuously since 2004. We're not siphoning human capital at all! We're building it up in exchange for full-tuition cash and cheap bodies to fill TA positions!
Obviously I'd look to optimize anywhere before sorting by size. Location, time procrastinated, value. After that I'd tend to do an opener small then move to big. There's a higher chance of something going wrong, and the remedy being combinable with a small task. Classic example is a repair that needs a part: hardware store is adjacent to grocery.
In a vacuum with zero bearing in reality, big first always. Suffering is easier to start with.
