Mint for the community support. He’ll have tons of resources if he runs into anything and you’re not available. As a dev he should be resourceful in that regard.

But definitely check the kinds of games he’s playing. Modern multiplayer games will be a big hurdle if they’re not steam verified.

I’ve been using OLauncher. I like the simplicity it brings to my phone experience.

Nobody was given a picture for their puzzle either. So don’t feel like you’re alone in that. Just take it one step at a time and remember that you don’t have to solve or plan for everything at once.

How are you going to fix anything if you just keep running from problems?

It’s cliche, but be the change you want to see in the world. Lots of people are set in their ways, but seeing someone behave with patience, consistency, and integrity actually moves the needle. Interrupting a church service is a surefire way to make people reject your ideals outright, regardless of the message. Leading by example, on the other hand, makes your values visible without forcing them—and that kind of positive influence tends to reinforce itself over time.

You mention you yourself may be stubborn, you probably wouldn’t want some ideal forced down your throat, I imagine most people feel the same way.

I like your examples of home gardening and free educational support, those are real actions that make a difference.

It’s the X.

I give 99% of my salary to my wife. She gives me 99% of her salary. We’re a family and we share all expense.

Stove top popcorn is too stupidly easy to buy a one off gadget. I make popcorn on the stove at least 3 times a week just using vegetable oil and flavacol. My wife and I are now spoiled on this popcorn.

It’s only for the “Full Self driving” feature. It would likely just disable the feature.

You short Tesla stock? Have you ever timed it and made a profit on it? I know there’s been pockets that it could have been profitable to you. But seems to me that you’d just be feeding money to actual shareholders.

The line going up just means GDP per capita increased, not that the system was healthy. USA’s GDP continues to go up, would you consider our current economy healthy? Post 60s, Soviet growth slowed and was mostly driven by oil, not productivity. That hides a lot of inefficiency and fragility that GDP doesn’t show. When oil prices dropped and reforms started, the economy collapsed because it had very little resilience left, not because capitalism suddenly “killed” a thriving system.

To be clear - I’m not saying that shock therapy didn’t cause harm, I’m just saying that the USSR was clearly not booming by the time it was applied.

Blaming capitalism alone ignores that many socialist economies were already in long-term stagnation before the 1990s. Shock therapy often caused real harm, but it didn’t destroy thriving economies — it was applied to systems that were already failing.

The legality is in their head.

President has a D in his party, so it’s socially legal I guess

What do you mean? I already don’t care about the state of the world.
