Oh my god! What happened to it? Did you change your order to the same thing?

If there were a steady growing economy and no crazy events for the next 20 years, and no major health issues, my Roth 401k would probably be enough for a modest retirement.

I was just wondering what the penalty would be to withdraw everything before 59, so I could figure out if it would be enough to immigrate somewhere with reasonable healthcare and a social safety net that would take those worries out of the equation. I think since it’s Roth it would just be 10% of gains + one-time capital gains tax?

It might be enough. Simply having a lump of $ makes so many more countries welcome to immigrants.

all default purple theme apps are dog shit, and there are a lot of them. any graphic designer who chooses purple needs to be prevented from designing anything ever. i have to see that fake color a third of my weekdays and it takes a full weekend of spending time outdoors and seeing green to recuperate.

It must feel like living in an asylum if you’re a decent person in Texas.

I expected this after watching Khalid Attaf videos of talking to customers in his family’s gas station/convenience store. It was depressing to see the reasons people were planning to vote this way. If you watch this, save at least a thread of sanity and don’t read the comments.

Logseq. Free, cross-platform (I just sync my journals through github), more convenient than any other notes or tasks app I’ve ever used since it auto-organizes everything you tag with graph db relationships. Organizing and constantly reorganizing my notes and tasks has always taken the longest amount of time, and now I can just stream of consciousness everything and let the app do the work. I hear Obsidian is good too, and it was next on my list to try if Logseq didn’t work out. But I do love Logseq.

He was supposed to be on SCOTUS, too, nominated by Obama. I truly wonder what the court decisions would’ve looked like if the Republicans didn’t obstruct that nomination.

And racists, and just antipathic people in general, and those traits overlap.

They also voted against the possibility of ranked choice voting.

It has its utility but I definitely agree it’s harmful in the long term. It would be nice to not have to mask to be accepted.

He’s lucky, it sounds like he found out at the right time. I didn’t find out until much later and while my coping and masking skills work for a few hours, they’re exhausting to do, they make me feel like I’m lying about who I am, and I can never be relaxed around people.

Only if the wall is connected to the outside. If the wall is completely internal and unconnected to the outside wall, you will never get out. That’s why you should always carry bread in your pockets when you leave the house, to leave a trail of crumbs so you have something to eat when you come back to your starting point in the maze.

These numbskulls who want the 10 commandments everywhere don’t even know what the 10 commandments are, or that there are multiple versions of them, or that basically half of them are explicitly about God, a specific God, and not the “common sense commandments” to not steal, not commit adultery, not lie. Why are they teaching children about adultery if they’re so opposed to sex ed, anyway? And the common sense ones aren’t clear, either. It’s not “don’t lie,” it’s, “don’t bear false witness against your neighbor.” They couldn’t even get that right. The dumb commandments.
