Holy shit, Americans. What is happening to you?

Yuuuuuup! We basically lived the same life

Upvoted because I think this is a common perspective. My comment below is for anyone else out there who may feel the same way as you do.

Being a passenger may cause less anxiety, but if safety is your biggest concern, driving yourself is the safest option to get around currently (besides bus/train transport or walking).

Driving is all about strategy. I’ll be transparent and say that it is not a “safe” activity, but I’ll also say that riding in a car driven by someone else is likely less safe than educating yourself on good driving strategy and taking your safety (and the safety of your passengers) into your own hands.

Driving defensively and using good vehicular communication will put you as a driver above 9/10s of the other drivers out there. That 1/10th leftover could hit you as a driver or passenger, but as a passenger, you have no recourse when you see them coming.

Experienced this when I went to Barcelona a few years back. Lovely city, but stepping out into the street felt like stepping into a cigar bar.

I dig this — sometimes you just want to do a little “adventure”. I’ve never not ate for a week, but have done similar things.

Just wanted to ask about eating disorder because I’ve had friends who’ve done similar things and it always makes me sad.

I needed this explanation

Was this part of an eating disorder? A week of not eating for a person who can already cycle 12 miles seems unusual.

(Hope that’s not too sensitive to ask, feel free not to respond)

I appreciated the pic you posted, even if I’m not in the place to want to purchase adventures currently.

Nice work.

Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.

Hmmm… I found an old magazine in their listings, but can’t for the life of me find out how to read it.

You may be joking, but as long as you’re actually good at what you do, being a dickhead can be a winning strategy.

I’ve never been able to do it myself, but know many who have.

Doin good work, soldier

Where the fuck do these images come from? Like who is pumping these out?

I feel like there’s a secret meme treasure source out there that I’m just too dumb to find.

That blue ps2 looks dope af

Kinda makes ya think… Maybe letting someone else filter the content you see is an inherently biased concept.

I’d rather apply my own biases to my feed, tyvm.

Yeah, that’s the downside with data like this, nothing prevents copying it. You’d need fines to help enforce it (which, as we’ve seen from this exact article, aren’t an effective deterrent).

Just one more of a million massive breaches within the last 10 years. No real consequences, I’m sure.

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that no individual person’s personal data hasn’t been caught in one of these breaches (unless they were born very recently). That’s not even mentioning the hundreds of vendors who I no longer work with but still have my sensitive data on their systems.

I heard an idea a few years ago that I found interesting: each person has their private data hosted on a secure data hub. If a vendor needs some of that data (ex: FirstName, LastName, Email) for their system, they have to make a request to your hub for it, which you then have to approve. Each time a vendor system needs that data, they make a callout to your hub. As long as they have an active approval, the callout would succeed for the fields they’ve been authorized. You can then revoke that request whenever you’d like.

I like the idea of having a running list of vendors who have access to your data and being able to revoke that data. However, it would also create a single location (your data hub) that could be breached and be a higher value target than any of the particular vendors.

Trade-offs.

Let’s get it on!

These are big words. I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to get Amigos to ship across the country and they won’t unless I spend $100.

But I found this recipe, so I think I’m gonna give it a try.

If you ever find yourself within driving distance of a Wing Stop fast food joint, they have the best ranch I’ve ever had.
