FWIW my family started falling into the two meal habit for a bit. I still do it as a treat for expensive food - I'm not going to serve my kids prime ribeye till their palate can appreciate it.
But I nipped that shit in the bud fast. I had to grab the reins of cooking for a while to do it which was exhausting after a full work day etc. etc. but the multiplicative effort from it got to be ludicrous.
I've been lucky my kids are responsive to the "no candy after dinner if you don't eat what we brung ya", so while they're picky I just don't care. I'm making stuff I know they like if they'll just try it.

This whole thing where Trump's inner circle is pretending they believed Musk's promises is utterly unconvincing.
Musk is a known overpromiser. Any idiot can look at a pie chart of government spending and know obvious fraud is a rounding error. The DOGE cuts need to happen because they caught the open-secret financial life blood of artificial leftist movements.
What's left is stuff that feels like fraud but isn't. Veteran disability, disability in general, cost disease in the MI complex, and the straight up bad math of social security.
Musk is being ejected for some other reason. The cuts not being deep enough is just window dressing.

The polling shows unequivocally that as a group we want lower taxes and almost limitless welfare.
The only practical way out is for our politicians to collude and work as one bloc to do what we need. Good luck

I did not expect this fight to actually happen
Really? Two unbelievably arrogant, thin-skinned men? Who fell into a buddy relationship so quickly? This was the most predictable thing in the world.

In no particular order:
- I am unsure if this is sooner, later, or right on time. I was 100% confident this would happen, but expected a smaller explosion.
- If Trump thinks he's going to win against someone who is smarter and more driven than he is, with a high amount of innoculative safety via wealth, he's wrong.
- However if Elon thinks that Biden's targeted attacks during his administration were tough, he's in for a wild fucking ride.
Ultimately I'm blown away by how selfish this explosion is to SpaceX and Tesla. All of his employees and perhaps even the human race are going to be hurt because of it. And over what? A completely intractable political reality?
The US electorate is too pants-on-head retarded to save itself from spending. That's it. There is only one way out of this, and it's riding the lightning until we're all consumed by a black swan event in the next couple of years.

Did you watch the movie adaptation of American Sniper? I found myself surprised that Bradley Cooper accepted the role. A lot of hateful jingoism that is par for the course for these guys, but not very Hollywood.

I think a huge cause of the issue with the girl in question is also that she is a child. I don't claim to understand her mindset fully, but she doesn't seem to want to be purposefully causing harm to people around her.
Not trying to beat you up with responses here, but I both:
- Greatly sympathize with especially children getting a fair shake in life
- Know from lifelong experience that children with this very specific/rare combination of traits go on to be great destroyers 100% of the time
You want to be fair to this child. I want to be fair to everyone else.

In my (admittedly most extreme) example we're literally talking about people who start by murdering, raping, and robbing other people their whole lives.
Then they have more children, addled by drugs from birth and neglect from the jump. Who kick things off by consuming vast quantities of resources from families that adopt them. The exact same problems, but geometrically multiplied for each generation. And they're fast too, because getting knocked up the first at 16 means more meth quicker.
These are rare examples, yes. Fractions of a percent. But to repeat: it's not a morally superior stance to look at the rivers of blood and treasure consumed by tiny fractions of society, then to just throw up your hands and say "oops, guess we can't fix it!". It's the absolute worst version of the tragedy of the commons.

So what are you saying here? That there are no such thing as psychopaths? There's never been a human with an outsize negative effect on society? Your moralizing tone doesn't make you any more convincing.
I'm a borderline pacifist that abhors violence. But if you disagree with my assertion you are either a teenager with too little life experience or willfully ignorant.

To be more specific that's probably the longest you should monologue before getting some sort of audience interaction

Make the infodumps about a topic she really enjoys, or deliver it well. It's a performance, and you have to do them thousands of times over a marriage to keep each other entertained.
If she can't handle a 45-second rant about the Kardashev scale, I'd consider that a yellow flag of contempt.

Frankly if you don't know a couple different animals wearing human skin that should be put down, you probably don't know enough about people.
Who can really solve this problem? Many of these psychopaths figure out ways to fit in the crevices of society where the state can't or won't get to them. Ticking time bombs.
I'm all for giving kids a fair shake, but once you get into the double digits IMO I haven't seen a freak like this change their stripes.

I think women are dynamic enough that you keep pursuing as many women as you can reasonably allocate the time to do so.
The 10 most attractive in other words may be bad lays (way common than you'd think), annoying, etc. The probability that the best overall woman is in the "Bottom" 40 is high. It's your minor league farm team.

I have to say I agree with you here. So many people have been trained that any violence - even in self defense - is verboten. It's a core tenant of public schooling.
Even if they do shock themselves into realizing they're in danger they don't go far enough and lose anyway. I know it first-hand!

We'll solve P = NP before we figure out how to get whites to defend each other against racial violence happening right in front of their fucking faces.

What, your wheels were in the crosswalk zone while you were in the road? On what fucking planet is that a justification for someone kicking you off your bike?
A lot of discussion about who wins in racial fights downthread. I've probably seen more interracial fights than most. Numbers and viciousness are the biggest factors in who wins. Honestly man, this has very little to do with HBD and more to do with black people hating you. You're in a city where racial animus is a way of life. Many of your fellow Baltimoreans want an excuse to hurt you (especially if they have numbers on their side), so act accordingly.

A little over halfway through Cryptonomicon. Very, very enjoyable so far.

The only piece of advice I'll give is that 10 heat settings are plenty to me on the induction cooktop I've used. Maybe it has 20? (half steps for each digit).
I can't stand radiant heat cooktops anymore after using induction. They're so slow, so stupid. The only reason I'm putting up with it at home right now is I may move in the next 6 months.

I think people are being a little hard on this question. While it's true that self confidence and lowering the importance of what people think of you is important, a $1-4k investment to be more attractive is appealing.
Very rarely do we get to trade money for this. You have to go to the gym and work hard, eat like a rabbit, study for hours, and master the art of conversation over a lifetime to "be more attractive". Just because other men don't take the shortcut doesn't mean you can't.
I'd echo other concerns about how it would look long term far more than "perceived vanity".

Man everyone down on nose studs and belly button piercings is intense. I think both are absurdly attractive, even if very slut-signaled.
The rest of it I could do without

I've been feeling this vibe lately. Humanoid Robots, Starship, and LLMs are the three things that make this feel more like the future than it ever has.
We are SO CLOSE. To being multiplanetary, interacting with computers that pass the turing test for 95% of the population, and finally being able to own a golden retriever without having to sweep every single day.
But it all seems to be hanging on the edge of a knife. Our governments are so obscenely powerful, people are so scared and stupid, weapons continue to become so much more lethal.
At the end of the day I'm just in wait and see mode. Whatever happens happens. I didn't grow powerful enough to meaningfully affect the outcome in time I don't think, so might as well worry about what I can control.

I personally knew well 2 people who died of it who really shouldn't have had any obvious comorbidmities. I have a massive social network though - the number of people I know who died of it are far lower than the official stats would suggest.

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.

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.
I disagree. All of his promises have turned out to be untrue. Someone with a reasonable understanding of all the problem sets he's worked on knows them.
You're correct that the level of each broken promise is different. What I'm saying is that nobody should have believed him. The electorate doesn't matter - they also believe that we can keep welfare and have lower taxes. They're too stupid to consider.
The administration has no such excuse. Arjin has it right - this blow up is garden variety power struggle and interpersonal dislike, it's not related to underperformance.
And there's hypocrisy in Elon demanding performance from Trump on the budget when he could not deliver. I think that leaves a bad taste in the Trump camp's mouth. But it also seems like he didn't even really try. Elon took major risks - Trump has played it very safe.
