"Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price."

Some people don’t have family, friends or a spouse to care for them.

Some people don’t have an emergency fund or a back up plan.

When you lose your health, you can quickly become broke & homeless.

This can happen to anyone.

Everyone deserves safe, loving care.

i have to praise the _insanely good_ "LISP From Nothing" book from @AverageDog once more. apart from the fact that on every page i think "i could never think or code that", it is packed with cool info. For example, when you compile scheme to C and you want to have, an instruction pointer of sorts to jump to your functions, how do you do it in a language that doesn't support computed goto without accumulating function calls?

for(k=0;;) switch (k) {
case 0:
k=apply(...); break;
case ...
}
