  • If I give you a benefit of the doubt then you’re a pacifist. Where you’re going wrong is in believing that everyone else should also be a pacifist.

    Even the Green Party would kick you to the curb. You’re a lone wolf that’ll stagnate in neoliberalism like all the other lone wolves. It’s a net negative to engage. Even if you wanted to learn the majority would turn you down because a Trump supporter would be a better prospective student.

    Remember: You’ll always be judged by the quality of your questions.

    Good luck.


  • About a year ago I constructed a financial instrument that prevents me from having access to my money for several years. I’m now working to live and without a safety net for the first time in my life. And, despite all of this, I still wouldn’t call myself “working class” because I’ve a gigantic advantage in past educational opportunities.

    Even my current effort is just a big learning opportunity that the vast majority of people could not choose. I’m not even worried about catastrophic failure because mommy and daddy wouldn’t ask, instead plop six digits in my account to tide me over until I’ve access to my own resources. No matter how hard I try I will never really understand what it means to be “working class”.

    I’ll leave it to you to decide what Taylor is.







  • As the other user said, I found them from backpacking for roughly the same reasons.

    Subsequently I’ve found them to be extremely convenient whenever I travel. They fit into a vehicle cup holder, will last months with daily use, and are cheap enough that I don’t care much if I lose or abandon them. If I’m flying I can buy them at the destination. They’re lightweight, durable, disposable, and easily replacable across the US.

    At home, regular life, I avoid the cost and waste with Nalgene & stainless steel. My oldest Nalgene is thirty years old, my oldest stainless steel a third generation hand-me-down that’s eighty years old. This is the way.
