I had dinner a few weeks ago with a CEO who makes millions per year. The restaurant itself was exorbitantly expensive by my standards, he kept the $100+ cocktails coming to everyone at the table, and he casually dropped the price of something he bought on a lark ($60K). He seemed extremely relaxed, like everything in life was for him and was going his way. It was fairly intimidating. But he was a good listener, too.

I voted R exactly once in a local race. In the previous election during the Tea Party wave, an utter nutcase ousted the usual Republican for the party nomination for county judge.

I voted for the R once and only once, to keep the nutcase from getting a second term.

Besides a media server, I self host my email, a blog, an IRC bouncer, syncthing, SPFToolbox, and in my house I run ADS-B plane tracking.

I’ve been running a Mastodon server since 2017. I’ve been aware of Lemmy and Kbin, but was waiting until it was clear which platform was going to have more community. I’ve been disillusioned with Reddit for some years.
