    Not $200 but ended up buying a xerox phaser. When looking at cost per page it is one of the cheapest though.

    Maybe I’m weird but I don’t like getting a scanner combo. Scanners break more easily than printers and after my Brother all-in-one had a busted scanner I’ve been going for portable scanners that run off USB power from the laptop. Canon lide has been a solid scanner for me.






  • Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

    It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

    if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

    That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.






  • Lookup internal family systems (a good book would be “No Bad Parts”). It’s like you have parts of yourself arguing and putting other parts down. It’s all parts of you trying to protect you but they maybe don’t recognize the roles each part has. Try to find out what your anger is trying to say, sometimes when the part is heard it is more manageable. The point isn’t to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.





  • Was watching Lindsey Ellis’s latest video essay where she was comparing conservative children media to those that teach social emotional intelligence. It struck me that much of media is socializing kids to have a officer in their head to be disappointed if they act in a way authority disapproves of. My kid loves power rangers but I get the same vibe, lots of shame based morality without validating what people are feeling.
