  • There is some ratio of civilian deaths to military targets hit that is essentially “acceptible”. Especially when the military targets are amoung civilians. I don’t know what that number is but it’s definitely way way way way less than right now.

    22k people dead is wholely unacceptable. At absolute best, giving Isreal the biggest benifit of the doubt I can, Isreal is indiscriminately killing civilians.


  • I could shame OP for falling for the crypto hype but I think the more important lesson here is to never ever mix family and finances.

    Even if you know for 100% fact that you have a slam dunk investment, it’s not worth it. Money corrupts.

    Never loan money, even if you don’t expect it to get paid back. It creates a power imbalance. Envy and resentment for you having money is better than creating any financial ties.

    Never go into business with family.

    Don’t mix finances and family. Family is more important than money.





  • I moved from the normal sized iPhone to the Max this year. No regrets so far. The most common thing I do with my phone is consume media so the cumbersomeness has been a good tradeoff.

    I had bought a 15 Pro on release day but returned it for the max after a week of continuing to doubt myself after holding a max in the store. I had jumbophones up till the iPhone X, I even had a Dell Streak back in the day.

    Most suprising thing to me was that the speaker was insainely better. I stopped carrying a Bluetooth speaker around with me for when I’m working cause the speakers get the job done well enough now. It’s not a 1-to-1 replacement but it is just ggod enough that it suffices. Also, the battery life from the smaller phone to the larger was such a big increase that I’ve stopped carrying around an external battery but just keep a usbc cable with my in case my ecig runs out of battery and I need to charge it off my phone.

    It’s been an interesting series of trade offs going back to a larger phone but then again, the bezels and thickness have reduced so much that a Max without a case feels the same as a normal size phone with a case. I thought I’d get bit by the screen being too big more than I have but I guess some honest self reflection on what I actually use my phone for compared to what I picture I use it for helped with the decision making. (I totally get that other people’s use cases with have completely calculus)
