I don’t think gym goers usually listen to podcasts in the gym. They probably do it outside the gym. But again, they could just as well listen to someone like Peter Attia or Mike Israetel. It doesn’t really answer the question: Why is it that gym goers are generally right wing? Maybe they are not and I am just suffering from a selection bias.

Really? Cryptography people are generally right wing? I did not expect that!

Oh ya… Gym goers are notoriously right wing… It is annoying.

Even in Europe (where I am from), most gym goers are people who would have voted for Trump. I think it might be due to the fact they are generally younger? I don’t know. I do know that it is annoying trying to befriend someone and then you find out they are right wing. God damn.

Pay attention to her “bids for connection”. When she asks something, even if it is something simple, such as a request to look at a meme on the phone, try to accept the bid and do look at her meme.

Also, why not just ask her? “Hey sis, I see that you are unhappy with the way I treat you. I am sorry, I will try to do better. Can you tell me what it is that you want me to do more?”

Seems like she really likes you but she is not feeling love from you. She wants that.

Look to whom you are giving the money. That is a very important part of the whole story.

You could have made a better choice, I suppose. And some authors/editors do deserve the money.

Pirating is not necessarily resisting. Are you taking money from authors who really really need it? Or are you taking money from rich CEOs who are worsening the environment, ruining future generations, slaving, etc?

Interesting that you don’t recommend Kobo Color. I was thinking of gifting my mother a kobo but I might just go for a BW version.

resist.

Stop buying whatever it is that Amazon/Meta/Google/Etc sell. They will not stand for you. They will not respect you.

At some points, it may seem like they changed and that they are now good. They are not. They will never be. Resist them.
