"Have you tried to be happy with what you have? Other people have way less!"

Yes and when I think about how other people are worse off, it makes me feel like a piece of shit for feeling bad despite being better off, which amazingly does not help me feel happy

Would a ban on that even be legal?

If we're talking the US, it's routine for municipalities to effectively ban homelessness. The penalties are usually a visit to jail & fines. Yes, fines, for people who can't afford homes. The supreme court also recently ruled that municipalities can do this even if there's not enough shelter space for them. It's not really an exaggeration to say that US attitudes & policies towards homeless people are genocidal.

The memo came shortly after Chaya Raichik, the conservative influencer behind LibsofTikTok, sounded the alarm about groups of TikTokers who were organizing to lure federal agents onto dates and expose their personal information. Her post did not include any mention of “tradwives.” It is unclear if Raichik’s claims were true.

People of course have no interest in their feelings, ideology, parents, or peers

You're right, and I actually thought about that. But that's the way I've always heard it described (and yes, it has come up before) so I just went with it. Orange is maybe better, but you don't peel an orange and then just bite into it, you eat it section by section. Banana would work but the difference in shape makes it weird. Not sure there's a great analogue

I've been thinking of switching off 1Password for a while, and this seems like a good enough reason to finally make the jump. Thinking I might try out Bitwarden. Other suggestions welcome, though they need to be friendly for nontechies, as I use 1Password to share passwords with family.

Ok but Kash Patel is pretty decent as far as cops go. He's done more to hinder the operation of the FBI than most leftists ever will
