It’s awful. I’m overseas and so it’s useful for keeping in touch with many different kinds of people in different places, but I use it less and less

Cook at home. Use mostly fresh ingredients. Staple foods are cheap… Rice, beans, etc

Beans and rice with oil and vinegar can hit the spot every day for lunch

Cold cut sandwich with fresh veggies. Bonus for homemade bread!

Eggs. Pasta. Eggs & pasta

For snacks, popcorn on your stove. Flavor with salt or spices. (I love Tajin!)

Keep a few spices in your kitchen. Have a decent olive oil and something high temp like grapeseed or vegetable oil

Avoid alcohol. If you must, don’t drink in bars. (I’m alcoholic… I know it’s hard to quit)

Learn how to properly operate your home’s thermostat in summer and winter. Set it for automatic and dial in your preferred temperature. Leave it constant. This is vastly more efficient than turning it on and off and on and off.

Don’t speed when driving a car. It takes more gas and can get you ticketed

Don’t pay for TV or streaming services. Just pirate. Pirate games too. Books from libgen

For internet access, it may be best value to get unlimited mobile data and make a Hotspot for your PC

Have a specific savings plan. Set X% aside immediately after receiving each paycheck. If possible, get a high-interest account where you’re required to make monthly deposits

If you have a hobby, hopefully it’s cheap. If you can monetize it without killing your passion, go for it. If you have an expensive hobby, try to make enough money from it to offset the costs (I study fiddle. I busk to pay for strings, bowhair, and occasional lessons)

Consider leaving the US for a place that’s cheaper or offers better terms. I left to teach English in Korea and China. Was able to save money and have a robust social life.

My eyes glazed over before I finished the first paragraph

Mr. F!

Finally, someone who can clean my dirty boots with his tongue

Severely underrated album. Holds up better than almost any from that year

Agricultural society is a terrorist state

OP specifically says “terrorist state”

No, I mean that DDG doesn’t provide summaries or skip to the section of video Tha answers your questions. Google has some great features

I am a regular DDG user but it depends what I’m searching for. I also use Qwant

Maybe if they made DDG give better results, I wouldn’t use Google quite as much

Hippo would drag him into the water and drown him in a death roll

Against the Grain

Internal Combustion

Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia

These all caused me to examine aspects of modern society that we usually just accept blindly

No, they’ll sell it cheaper than the store

Great list!

“I went to high school. Hear my wisdom”

Just wait until the VC money dries up

He’s actually a nice enough guy, but he has a rose-colored glasses when it comes to China and the CPC. As someone who worked at China Daily, I assumed he works for state media! He said he doesn’t but he hoped to go to China someday.

Given how often he posts, I’m a little concerned about his mental health, but maybe this is what keeps him sane. Better than shooting people in a mall, that’s for sure!

I’d actually like to meet the guy and have a cup of coffee

What a fkn dork
