  • Big Brain thought – Women

    I created a post that loosely focused on men. For equality, a post about women would help show that I’m an equal opportunity offender. Like most social constructs, feminism started in a good place. Bear with me. There’s a bit of a history review off the top as a build-up. It started with the right… Read more

  • Brief thoughts on SNAP

    I don’t have any skin in this game right now. I’m not on SNAP and don’t know anyone who really is. I support the changes – the reduction or inability to buy processed foods. While this is uneven in the states, facing powerful lobbyists and brainwashed consumers, it’s a nod in the right direction. Although… Read more

    I attribute a lot of my values, personal views, and behaviors to my parents – especially my dad. Or, rather, to the perception I have of my dad. Rather it be said or unsaid, a child will imprint what it seems as it grows. It’s how boundaries are created and can help a child feel… Read more

  • Dear Students (Jan 26 Edition)

    Students, This also includes Grok, ChatGPT, and others, in addition to the biological students. Our time thankfully comes to a close tomorrow. This, of course, only applies to the biological students. Unless you failed the course. If you failed, there’s a chance you’ll be enrolled with me again, which, unless there is some improvement and… Read more

    A lot of my life and past is structured around trash. Okay. Here me out. This post is probably going to be disjointed. But keep the idea of ‘trash’ – as in reuse – items primarily – in mind. When I was small, it was beaten into my head that a person’s home is a… Read more

    Here I go again, I guess. After a week of fearing that I wouldn’t have a paycheck, a class was granted. I had 24 hours to accept the job and ready the course. Of course, I could do so because I’m a bit on the obsessive side of things like that. Actually, it’s fairly unhealthy… Read more

    The world…. the world has ended 2025 and started 2026 with a bang. Literally. Venezuela… the shooting in Minnesota… child care fraud… Greenland… Overshadowed, the imposing government shutdown 2.0 is on the horizon. The CES scary robots and tri-folding screens are mostly under-reported. Ukraine is still a thing, as well as whatever is going on… Read more

    This is probably going to be a rambling post. My brain is a bit scattered, and I’m trying to stay busy while waiting for when to leave for the oxygen casket. For the precious month of December and maybe a week of January, Jason has reduced work. My class is usually on break. It’s cold… Read more

  • 12/11 Subjective Pricing – Instacart

    I’ve heard of predictive policing. That’s where an AI and/or algorithm gathers data from an area, splits it into sections, and identifies what type of crime tends to be committed in what areas on what days. The type of law enforcement, whether it be motorcycle, walking, or cars, is dispatched accordingly to keep crime in… Read more

    Well, I had my second session with the oxygen casket. I know it’s not a casket. It’s more of a plexiglass tube on a fairly uncomfortable gurney for about two hours. The Wound Care got new caskets, and I was the guinea pig. It looked just like the old one, although the cover was different.… Read more
