From Warren Buffet's final letter. Don't let the way this is written fool you: transparency causing CEO wage increases is a failure of capitalism.
Governments can cap wage gaps between the top and bottom employees of an organization to level the playing field. This is a solvable problem.

Maybe the silver room in Mahjong Soul isn't so bad. My fourth place avoidance has improved significantly with worse players and it's such an ego boost.

I just played “Dear Me, I Was” and now I’m a blubbering mess. Worth the money. For a story that lasts less than an hour, no dialogue, and basically no real gameplay to speak of, the story is absolutely incredible.

I can’t believe how incredible The Ark is as a venue. I’ve never been to a show with such little reverb and bouncing noise. The music is just there at the perfect volume.

The curse of having a body that is more strict with my sleep schedule than society around me is I can only game for maybe an hour past bed time before I start falling asleep in front of a screen.

Kirby Air Riders Test Ride is great, but I really have to hook my Switch up to wired internet. Wireless disconnected me during online city trial twice.

The fact that I had to go to the Steam listing for this game to discover this is unfortunate. But you know... I'm glad they're doing the responsible thing even if it means I'm probably not buying it at launch because Skate Story releases on the 8th.

It's a good day to have not spoken to my doctor about starting back up on Vyvanse because I keep forgetting to book an appointment.
Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Alec taught me that running hot water through the faucet before running the dishwasher was the primary reason my dishwasher sometimes sucked. This is a great video to watch!
Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.
Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.

I knew I was gonna encounter easily stripped bolts on this car, but I was *really* hoping I wouldn’t encounter them when replacing this ABS wheel speed sensor… and so far I’ve got 2, maybe 3 and one of them was the bolt holding the sensor in the steering knuckle. 😭 Damn you, Midwest rust!
