thank you for sharing this article.

kind of related - i mulched a 3x8’ plot of my front yard this last year, from november-may. yard waste, fall leaves, grass clippings, etc. last week, i spread the mulch out to use as planting soil for some pumpkins. the mulch was so alive with decomposers, especially pillbugs. it felt good to provide them with habitat for a few months. i hope they’re nice to my pumpkins

Edit: basically avoid credit cards and financing as much as humanly possibly

if you’re budget constrained, yeah. as goodguywithacat says below, treat a CC like a debit card and pay it off every month. I’ve never made an interest payment on a CC in my life. I put almost all my monthly expenses on a credit card that has 1-5% cashback rewards. I get ~$100 a month in reward points that I regularly spend on shit i need. at this point, i’ve spent over $1k in money i never worked for. one of life’s little perks.

fair point, especially about being served up sexual content in spaces otherwise not meant for it (like instagram). again, capitalism preys on humanity’s basest desires and floods our markets with sexual content.

and as an old, i just want to say that the “sex positivity” era of the early 2010s ran cover for throngs of abusers to get easy access to people who were exploring their sexual liberation and caused lots of harm to lots of good people, so it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth now.
