Do you honestly see yourself ever retiring and how?
  • 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.

  • Microsoft Teams is dog shit
  • 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.

  • Young Black and Latino men say they chose Trump because of the economy and jobs.
  • 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.

  • Office dwellers, what software/website or system do you use to keep track of tasks you need to do?
  • 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.

  • Autism is spiking in young adults, study finds
  • 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.

  • Judge will hear arguments to block Louisiana's Ten Commandments display requirement in schools
  • 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.

    Do you organize the order of your groceries in the checkout line?

    I'm just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they'll be bagged in a specific way?

    I didn't know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I'm kind of curious to see what's more common, or if there's some other options I haven't considered?
