Interesting. Living in Korea, I knew immediately what news site that was linking to.

That is fascinating. Thanks for the link.

When I watched MKBHDs video on this, my first thought was whether or not we could selfhost a service like this. If I could run this through my own Mac mini server to my own / family’s phones, that would be great. I don’t think I’d ever feel comfortable logging into my iCloud account on some company’s server with just their pinky promise as a guarantee.

Do people say both parties are equally bad? I’d agree that both parties are bad, but ‘equally’? Maybe a decade ago, but not anymore.

I’m on the same page. The republicans need some feedback that what they’re doing isn’t going to win elections. Unfortunately I think it will take losing several more elections to sink in.

While I agree in my dislike for the current Republican Party, the attitude of blindly voting for your team because the other is evil is exactly what my (late) fox-addicted grandfather used to uphold. I loved the man, but I think we ought to do better and do the hard work of researching every candidate and choosing the best, be it democrat, republican, or independent.

As someone who hasn’t personally done any of these tests but whose relatives (aunts/cousins) have, does anyone know how much of my personal information is now up for sale?

I had no idea that they even still did this. I assumed it ended years ago. Interesting.

Novik’s Scholomance is finished, and was a pretty fun read. It was a very unique take on magic school.

Chinese products. After living there for a decade, I now actively try and avoid buying products made there—or Chinese companies—at the least.

I still struggle with 1. paedobaptism and 2. the Churches assumption of Israel’s promises. I was raised very dispensationalost, and I see some of the weaknesses of that theological framework, and yet I still find it to be very compelling.

This is unfortunate. I just bought one a couple months ago but haven’t even opened it yet.
