Hot take
Also, if a company with "bank" or "investment" or "realty" or even just "firm" in their name wants you to consult, charge them 2x your normal rate. And if they have more than one of those, add 50% to your rate for each word.
Debate shit take
Debate class does not exists in other countries, and (and least in France) debate is not to be won.
Actually trying to win a debate is seen as an hostile approach to conversation and a technique of the far-right and nazis
Debate shit take
My shit take about "always trying to make online debate better" is that Americans go to school and have "debate class" that teaches debate as a thing and a competition.
This American tradition guides all the approches to "online debate" because tech is so US heavy and is the core of the problem.

For some reason this pen from an Austin based company is shipping from the Netherlands. The package may take a while.

journaling questions
@streetwanderer I've started using DayOne over the weekend. It seems ok to do what I want.
I just really wish it had like a graph representation of a mood evolution or something like that.
journaling questions
I'm looking into journaling to try to have something I can look back to when I have trouble remembering how things I enjoy make me feel. Let's be honest I won't be doing it if it's not on my phone/ipad.
Do you have any recommendations of journaling app, with a powerful tagging feature? Maybe with daily prompt & mood tracker too. Is DayOne still the best app?

Passover joke, birdsite
"Happy Passover to everyone, and especially to the Ever Given as it waits to be freed from Egypt."
Any single entity that thinks they can protect a huge pile of valuable data forever is as naive as I once was.
We must stop taking the easy road or picking things based only on their UX.
Learn to use decentralized systems and teach others or the free internet won't survive.
Every good idea borders on the stupid.
