New plan: Find a Husband. Then together: Start a vegetable garden. Cook good foods. Smoke meats. Build a chicken coop. Plant fruit trees. Make jam. Bake sourdough. Brew kombucha. Play music. Woodshop in the garage. Go camping. Paint the walls. Read books. Take a nap. Make love.

What career advice am I even supposed to give my 15yo right now? His favorite subject has been computer science, he likes speech & debate, is very social. He is skeptical that college makes sense at all, and I am entirely unsure at this point

idk it seems like the main interviewer started flipping to a new page midway through her response, or showed something to a second person (?), so she stopped the interpersonal/warm affect and changed to "I'm paying attention and will take this new matter seriously"
Holy shit. Watch her face change here #elizabethholmes

yesterday I had chatgpt help me plan out some gardening and it was possibly the most helpful use case I've had apart from coding

3. Feed the dopamine drop with rhythm or movement Music with a strong beat activates the ADHD dopamine system more reliably than almost any other input. The second you see the boredom-poking start, turn on an upbeat playlist or toss them a ball to catch before the restlessness turns into a brawl.4/6

I'm realizing people have very different priors wrt how likely someone is to be cognitively strange, vs cognitively high-performing like I find it much more plausible that Elizabeth Holmes has weird and non-intuitive motivations and reasoning, than that her motivations are predictable but she's just astoundingly good at lying and manipulating

tbc I'm not saying I don't think she was lying, just that it's more likely in some absolutely weirdo way than a calculated 4D chess way

it doesn't really change anything, artistic integrity-wise, if Billy didn't accept money for the documentary, given that he believed he was getting money throughout the entire filming

people with the "Anti-Elon Tesla Club" stickers on their Teslas seem kind of memecucked if you ask me

maybe the stickers are manufactured in child sweatshops. and then I imagine they would need a series of fractally smaller stickers to try to ward off new judgements

I am surprised that I haven't seen any "do Billy and Liz genuinely love each other though?" discourse

a thing I wonder about this, ignoring the childcare aspect what would be the etiquette asking for a non-weekend trip (say Tuesday to Thursday), where your friends are expected to request 3 vacation days off work? what's a comparable imposition that doesn't have to do with kids?
My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long. Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys

solution: write down meals you like on index cards, shuffle through them when you aren't sure what to make ignoring whether you "should" have this problem, there are ways to solve it!
Why is this such a difficult thing for women? Nearly, every woman I know (except Mom, who still has a rigid schedule for each night) struggles to think dinner. Not actually MAKE dinner, but think of what to make and this is an incredibly stressful thing for them.

if I had to guess, men would have an easier time making meal decisions than women partly due to differences in caloric/micronutrient demands? men seem more likely to want "protein gymslop, again" and women more likely "idk I'm thinking smth with, like... walnuts? ...smth green?"

I've been focused on work projects the last several weeks but I think I'll pause for a little general apocalypse prepping

nice thing about my day: today I was in the kitchen and someone walked up from behind and hugged me, and for a moment it could have been any of three people

in a parallel universe, not cosine distant from our own, Elizabeth Holmes has several Elon babies
