“myth of rugged individualism”,
A better name for that that, one which I apply to myself, is “toxic independence”. It covers more issues, I think, because it includes people who don’t see themselves as rugged individualists, but just ordinary people surviving as best they can.

I’ve been getting into weird shit like this, and based on your comment, there’s a better than even chance you can give me some recommendations.
I’ve seen existenz and together and probably some others that count. But I’m open to whatever you think is worth it!
I took a single fuse out of my 2023 chevy bolt and it disabled all that shit. There’s an onstar module behind the infotainment screen that appears to be pretty easy to disable if you want to keep gps and thus location-based charging active. I personally don’t care about that, so fuse was plenty.
It’s also just a very basic vehicle overall, with physical buttons for most stuff (so touchscreen doesn’t get used much while driving), which I like coming from a 2012 honda civic. The only real modern thing it seems to have other than infotainment is the backup camera, and that’s a decade old requirement already.
Also, if it matters to you, chevy bolt runs on open source software. You can audit it right on your dash panel, if you so choose.
Edit: looks like there’s a fork of openpilot for it as well for mostly self-driving? Idk if I’d trust that, but kinda neat. I thought it was a fork of the OS, but its not.
I have a bruins jersy with an incorrect letter.
Instead of saying “Chara” it says “Ghara”.
Hard to notice, especially since I very rarely wear it, but does work as a conversation starter if anyone happens to notice.
Mine is all about chickens, cats, and then a bunch of things listed as “extensive” indoor plant cultivation, climate control focus, food processing, etc.
Other than chickens and cats, it’s mostly a wishlist of hobbies I don’t actually have but have purchased supplies for through amazon, and then assumptions based on a couple brands I did buy (due to a friend getting the same, so we could intermingle the things, not because I liked it myself)
All in all, lol
I’ve licked salt licks. I grew up around farm/farm-adjacent animals, and I’ve always been very curious, so I’ve tried a lot of things my animals consume…
The flavored salt licks are fun. I genuinely understand why they like them. Especially of their diet is deficient. Bet they taste like magic if your diet isn’t just full of salt already.
For some reason that probably has to do with surface area, granulated salt tastes much much saltier than salt licks. So I’m not joking about them tasting nice, it’s a totally different thing to table salt.
Suddenly glad I’ve had no desire to play ps5 in ages.
I should look and see if theres better options for ps4, as well, since mine is currently in need of repair anyway…
Edit: I’m confused as to why this is getting downvoted? I don’t care about internet points, but I do care about being misunderstood. I’m glad because mine should be out of date enough to use this hack, and I should look to see if there’s a similar one for ps4 as long as it needs repair anyway?
Wow. Ok have fun with that personality… eesh.
Thats not… I feel like you weren’t alive yet when that transition happened.
Because CDs are objectively better in basically every way than VHS and cassette, especially for consumers. No more tapes stuck in the player, no more rewinding, no more randomly unspooled tapes, no more twisted ribbons, no more seeking static, no more heat warping, etc. plus cds take up less space overall, and you can easily use many-disc cd changers.
The market absolutely drove that transition, not manufacturers. VHS and cassette were still supported and produced for a LONG time after cds came about, because not everyone was willing to drop a ton of money to get their collection in a new format.
“Make my coffee look like an egg bagle, and make it taste like you dipped a glazed donut into it, but without actually doing that, I don’t want chunky coffee”
That’s how I used to order my coffee from the donut place at 3 am before my 4 am airport shift. I was young, i’ve grown, but they always got it basically right. I make my own now, much much darker with less sugar. With just as much questionable content. Because I have ONE good coffee and top it off until it sucks and I don’t want more.
