That was downright educational.

Want to know something fun about US parents??

Patents don’t really protect new inventions. They give people a right to sue for financial damages and there is no criminal force of law (this is a generalization and I am not a lawyer). So courts don’t really go “hey, stop using invention ABC, someone else has a patent on it.” They just say “hey, that other guy invented it first, give him some money.”

Patents (not other forms of IP) are made to be wildly public so people can invent things on top of previous inventions.

Does it always work like that? No. But it’s one facet of US federal law that I find interesting, and a little bit hopeful.

The battery packs that are wireless enabled were the thing for me.

I can recharge my phone in my pocket, while walking around the city, without a rats nest of wires popping out of my pants.

Do absolutely nothing. I’m in the gym to workout and so are you. Respect that women aren’t sexual objects.

Maybe spot you if you’re upping weight this week and need a friend to help.

Real talk?

Because I’m tired. So absurdly tired. Tired of the stupid and the sensationalism and the faked anger and the real suffering and pain.

Am I mad? Yeah. But unfortunately I’m way more tired.

Fellow NJ-ian here. I have definitely driven on frozen lakes when I was a stupid teenager. TBH they were more like tiny ponds though.

I’m ready to serve.

I am libertarian-ish, but generally don’t like all the loud libertarian nuts (I register Dem and vote Dem because the things I care about aren’t represented anywhere on the ballot anymore).

For me, it comes to a very simple economics truism: Governments are pretty damn inefficient and tend to waste a lot of money because of the process and bureaucracy. Markets on the other hand, tend to be really efficient at allocating capital when left alone. The times a government should step in is when the market has created a form of externality that breaks things. The old economics example is the people downstream from a chemical plant are paying the price for the plant’s pollution.

From a libertarian lens:

• The government should negotiate SPH b.c. it’s obvious that markets failed and we’d all be better off (spend less money) if everyone had healthcare.
• The government should stay out of people’s bedrooms and love lives, it has no business there.
• The government should use UBI and then eliminate every other deduction, and tax break, and subsidy (Social Sec, . The office running UBI could be one guy sending checks out once a month (exaggerated obvi)

Unfortunately the things I’d like to see from a libertarian don’t actually show up.

My oddly niche fetish is a split screen of reaction of women at the exact moment of entry during anal.

Basically BRCC is the only thing that scratches that itch.

I can’t tell if this is hot or gross. . .

I know this is a work example, but it’s pretty good at writing Excel formulas. Helpful because my brain works in Python, not spreadsheet.

Also, when I have a word on the tip of my tongue (I know someone said this already), beyond helping me get the word it can help me out context around how it is used.

Economists hate this one simple trick . . .
