A small thing, and only for “creator” content and people. If they say multiple things, some you know about and some you don’t, then evaluate the stuff you know. If you detect bullshit in the stuff you know, throw it all out.

Someone that lies on one thing is fully untrustworthy.

Clearly doesn’t work when you are wrong.

The Gates Foundation has something like this 20 years ago. It used the sounds of wing beats to find and identify gender and species.

It is unclear why nothing came of it. I look it up every few years…

Sure. Not as a regular thing, but as a fast meal before a long drive through an area with few options.

I wouldn’t suggest it daily.

There is a very small progressive talk radio movement. In MN AM 950. Matt McNeil is getting syndicated.

So not all gloom.

Politics would probably start to shift dramatically towards the left with the lack of echo chambers online.

No, it would not. The USA was not more liberal before the internet. Fascism rose without the internet in many countries.

It would be nice to not have Russian trolls though.

Stop blaming Biden for shit he didn’t do. Microsoft has been an illegal monopoly for decades.

Yes.

By Planning.

I didn’t think it would work for the first 10 years. I just wanted to eat better cat food in retirement.

Pursuing higher paid jobs when I can. Changing jobs periodically. Pursuing higher pay until the pay asked for my soul. Then stepped back, changed jobs, and make way more for less.

Paying down debt when possible. Building up to a constant dollar figure of debit and investment per month. Growing that when I can. I now save 40%+ of my income.

Keeping my spending low by prioritizing my time on free things. Prioritizing the money I spend on high pact purchases.

Planning with 4% rule. Works out to needing 300 times your monthly spend in savings. Driving that number down. A $15 a month expense requires $4,500 invested to support.

A great market runup.

I am glad I did too. My friends are dying. One’s 40’s are rough.

Dead on. It happened with trees, and wood is still useful.

I don’t know your situation, but some time with a spreadsheet is called for. Figure out how to stretch things.

Clearly, this drifts from your original question.

Aim for higher paying jobs. That filters lots of crap. Legit jobs will take more thana few weeks to pay you.

If the timeline is a few weeks, look elsewhere.

Sorry.

Remember all thay resistance he faced in 2016? Gone. That shit takes decades to build up and was out of steam four years ago.

After that I have no idea.

Good advice. One should always test, for correctness, not just infer.
