  • I was a firm believer that all the really close personal guy friends I’d ever had, I made in high school or before. The idea that as an adult male that I could expect to make another real bond with anyone new, outside of this circle of old friends, was impossible. Until it did. In my mid to early 30s, my dept. merged with his. We had talked a few times while making fun of clueless users forgetting their passwords, so I already knew we would get along as coworkers. He was a groomsman at my wedding many years later.

    I know it can seem insurmountable to find meaningful male friendships in mid-upper 20s and 30s, but it does happen. I’m rooting for you friend. Take care of yourself.















  • Thank you! I was saying this back in 2022 when we had “record inflation” but also “record profits.” That became too obvious to consumers so we had shrinkflation instead. But still the record profits.

    Corps knew the average voter is dumb and used those prices to tank Harris’ campaign all because she had the gall to suggest a wealth tax, something they had snuffed out Biden’s chances with. Even if the president has no control over prices, people believe they do. It was over for this country the moment we got the Citizen United ruling. Things were being setup to make it easier to get, but that ruling allowed unmitigated greed to influence politics. Been a growing pool of unfathomable wealth and the leverage of that wealth since.
