Yeah its really a perspective and lifestyle thing, although I’m at the point where I might actually turn something down if it meant I was required to carry around any more than I do now unless it was worth it, like for a job.

I won’t even do small chain rewards cards or any of that nonsense, and none of their apps work with a degoogled phone anyways, so I just pay extra to not have to deal with it.

If you use it right, it can protect your mind too!

What are the long term risks associated with being a sex worker? Is that any different than being a long term call center worker or secretary, or construction worker?

Seems strange to refuse payments but Im sure there is some accounting person who’s figured it out.

Is it really so hard to buy a disposable visa or MasterCard? Can even pay bums to buy them for you.

You hold a grudge for 12 years? Did they kick your dog or something?

Well I figure in the event I’m being robbed, I’d lose both a wallet and a phone. Probably my keys too.

I could be convinced that I’m increasing my risk somehow but I would need someone to walk me through how.

Yeah its meant to challenge someone’s current position by causing people to defend it out loud. I understand its actual nonsense to say noone should need a wallet, just as its nonsense to say that noone needs a phone case, or even that everyone needs a phone case.

If you are more likely to lose your phone than your wallet, sure. Thats not my case so it males sense for me. It also prevents me from carrying stuff I dont need. Replacing a picture ID and canceling a few cards is trivial.

The phone cases made for a few cards are the same size as regular ones nearly, and for me I’m far more likely to lose a wallet than a phone.

I also dont leave my phone out in public places to be snatched.

How’s the network wide ad blocking work, that would solve a big issue with my kids.

Is containers here used in the same context as docker? I’m not familiar with podman.

Y’all carry wallets still? 2 or 3 cards should be enough, that shit fits in your phone case.

Thats thr thought I immediately had and I couldn’t figure out what to say, and then the meeting moved on without my reply.

If I’m being extremely generous, maybe he meant it to be inspiring? Like you can do it without a manager! You are great!

I can’t figure out where he’s getting his management ideas from its all over the board. Oh well most of our clients will be gone by this December, and I’ll be gone by then too so its no bother for me anymore.

Edit to clarify: gone as in getting a new job, sorry if that sounded dark

Vegan isnt for everyone, although as the other poster said there are different ways to vegan. But, people need to allow that not everyone has a body that can handle every kind of diet.

I’m vegan so I just rather like not having to worry about all of the negative side effects of meat and dairy, but there are degrees to things, and a healthy diet could potentially include meat and dairy.

I dont actually know the carnivore diet that well, so I based what I said on the assumption that you would be consuming so much cholesterol containing food that it couldn’t possibly NOT have an adverse affect on your life.

Could I ask if you could be more specific on what caused you to change from vegan? More of a curiosity for me than anything.

I’m having flashbacks to my last meeting with my direct manager and their manager, where the managers manager told me I should be managing myself appropriately because I’m an adult.

When I said, “well we need managers for a reason dont we?”, he replied " I dont know, do you?"

And that was the end of that topic, literally.

I hope Valve somehow has figured how that’s supposed to work, but the lack of communication that causes is so profound at my work, that almost noone knows what they are supposed to be doing or have any idea of what the bigger longer-term picture is.

Youll lose weight possibly but thats a great way to end up dead by heart disease at a stupidly young age.

Get like some sort of turbine or like a dozen super loud shitty 90s PC case fans.

Would make fast and the furious more interesting for sure.

Edit: oh shit I just remembered those snowmobile arcade games with the fans, those were the best when I was a kid.
