See good buddy that’s why you buy yourself thrift.

I wear suits that cost me 20 bucks that look better than what the president wears. Not that that’s a high bar, but a worthy comparison.

Congratulations man!

Hell, I’m proud of you too.

Clothes, accesories, cologne, actual makeup, skin cream.

Of course and the most important: confidence and genuine joy.

If you’re worried about any economic downturn, you can very well diversify into even larger economic areas if you’d so please. How you do so is of course up to your own discression, given you can look towards different sectors, vectors of investment, and even geographic areas.

Unions.

When I work in office settings I usually set pace based on what I need to accomplish, and use any extra time to do proper reviews of my work.

I try. I find myself even harsher on my mistakes and less proud of my accomplishments given current politics and policy keeps me busier than I’d prefer, but I try my best to see what I do in a more positive light.

Small steps.

Could say yea

It’s reality.

I have technically used them, however not by my own volition at all.

Spent two weeks getting comments from a colleague about my consistent driving habits, being a safe driver, etc.

I thought we just shared a portion of the route there. Turns out we didn’t lmao. That was a fun one.

Read alot, research well, and be honest about your own skills and understanding on a topic when talking with your friends, family, and strangers.

Look for, and even ocassionally try researching as an advocate of the opposing viewpoint.

Try your hand at creating your own as-close-to-the-truth sources of information for others. Could be anything from quick notes and topic basics, to full newsletters, reports, and expert statements.

All depends on the who, what, when, where, and how.

Are we talking muppet muppets? Or can we go all old fashioned?

If so my choice is Big Bird.

I can speak as someone who holds public office.

In my work as an appointed member of government, all our meetings are held fully accessible to the public. We technically can have have conversations about what our votes will be, or what we think etc. outside of the meetings, however those conversations cannot let anyone whether us or any member of the public, know how the votes will go before the meeting happens, and that can include the minutes prior. If it happens it can range in anything from fines to jailtime, of course and garunteed to be blacklisted from just about any public work in the future given violation of our Oath of Office.

Thus, technically any conversations or messages between the board, our liason, etc. relating to the work we do can be subpoena’d or FIA’d, or just outright requested by members of the public given relevance, but generally anything we do as private citizens should remain private like for anyone else.

It’s quite huge in many ways and smaller in others. Not enough studies have been done overall to determine the range of it’s affect, especially given the growing access to the wider internet and social media across a major portion of the human population, though significantly still segregated in the ways in which it’s accessible.

I can personally say for a fact that there is already growing social mobility relating to how it’s being used, as well as where policy is moving. This is where we will end up seeing the longer term trends given more are sociologically changing habits as well as better legal requirements, shifting policy reccomendations, and overall scientific recognition of affects.

I hope better in the long run, but definitely close to a net neutral given the way it’s moved overall, and a net negative in recent years.

Eh. Classic story of a street punk who turns his life around. Been done a million times.

Generally? Haiti.

What’s that?

<Huh?>

What’s that called?

Denali <Mountain>

I’m sorry?

Denali <Mountain> is what that’s called.

Ah. Of course, off you go.

Marks down Mount Denali. Excellent.

[Joke from a bit farther up north than us, language is different but the joke’s the exact same.]

For the good stuff ? Always buy thrift, long as you know how to clean the absolute hell out of them properly, I find it’s a worthwhile venture.
