I can't find him specifically saying "bread" but he definitely claimed in his book that he worked on grocery prices for the firm that did the price fixing scandal at the time of the scandal

he accidentally implicated himself in it too, trying to brush off criticism of having worked at McKinsey at all by just saying "oh haha all I did was some boring shit about bread" or something

People often define and imagine retirement and early retirement as purely just sitting around at home or whatever, and for me I think I envision it as a liberation from obligation / scrapping to survive. Who knows if I'll ever get to at this rate, though. I'm at a decent job now.

I think rather than full retire early, if I made that much I'd just want to work enough that I don't need more income, just to expand options for what I do with my career and time. Could work less than 40 hours, could do work in a field I'm very passionate about, etc.

does it create a bunch of e-waste? yeah maybe, but between the headphone jack going away and pack in headphones being a thing of the past, that's a real extra step now

generating shit with AI scratches the same itch as doomscrolling for some, but for them it is even more conformed to one's desires than an algorithm ever could be. it's all the same stimulation glitch

go ahead and do your thing

I think there needs to be a complementary "don't talk to me until I've had my gender" mug to really complete the concept

lots of great reasons to shit on this startup but I think what is most worth highlighting is how all 25 people involved with this company are so sheltered and pampered as to be completely removed from understanding how food is made

placing all three mugs on a lazy Susan and spinning it around to determine today's gender

yeah it probably didn't do anything, anyhow time to take a big sip of coffee and go check on my friends at USAID

DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do - stole a bunch of data, dismantled tons of government programs. Saving money was just the remarkably thin pretense for an obviously ideological project, and it was not their sincere goal. They just wanted to do evil, heinous shit.

they probably already didn't like him, it's cool
November 21, 2025 at 10:13 PM
he was like in the middle of preparing polite answers and Trump was just like "it's cool man, say what you gotta about me". an absolutely wild circumstance

the guy just says "kid gambling" like that's a regular, normal phrase that people should say and do

for some folks, a high enough dose of e in any form (even pills or patches) will adequately suppress T! it's so frustrating that t blocking is seen as the default option when it's not often necessary at all

maybe the real gender is the friends we made, and lost, along the way
