    One of my earliest experiences with the Internet was seeing a picture of a country girl in cowboy boots with a carrot up her ass and an ear of corn stretching her pussy. It was 1991. I also played bridge with people in Asia in the middle of the night.

    Are you young and have no assets? Because managing risk is an adult thing to do. I used to pirate, but decided the risks outweigh the rewards for me at this time. I might again someday, but not today.

    Here’s Jesus’ take, but looking at a lot of Christians I’m not sure they know how to listen:

    Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

    “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.






  • The article looked at five years, and even their numbers show most of the job growth going to non-native born citizens. If you look only at 2024, barely any jobs we’re created and all of them went to non native born, native citizens actually lost a few jobs last year.

    That isn’t really a problem on it’s own, but it has allowed large corporations to avoid increasing wages, even while everyone is experiencing tough inflation. We need strong living wage legislation and then the foreign born workers will no longer be contributing to wage suppression here.

    Some of those things I could see a pattern as described. The exception for me is public transportation. It exists in urban areas with high diversity. But it doesn’t exist in the suburbs which are much more white. The rich suburbs, it doesn’t matter as everyone is driving a new Audi or whatever. But the poorer white suburbs are really a terrible place to live, you can’t go anywhere without a car, and most jobs don’t pay wages that accommodate housing, food and car expenses anymore. The cost increases have way outpaced wages. I know that affects urban life too, but at least they have access to buses etc.

    I never pay for extras, and my financial stability is what you would expect from someone giving that answer. But I do like guac, so if I’m feeling the call for some avocado I order a veggie. You lose the meat but the guacamole goodness is included.
