Not nearly as much as my feet being touched.

Always wearing socks unless I’m bathing. No exceptions. Even at the beach. Even in the water. The socks don’t come off.

The first time my now wife saw me take off my socks she had a freak out like she didn’t believe they’d actually come off. Like watching someone remove their own skin.

I go through socks like nobody’s business. Recently upgraded to crew socks to get more durability.

I buy value stocks and I'd moved into real assets to hedge, but I'm not confident the government will allow corrections to happen. We'll print money harder if that were to happen, and that kind of currency devaluation pain is felt essentially no matter where you are invested in the US.

What scares me even more is that it might not behave like a bubble. I feel like the fed won't let bubbles pop like they're supposed to and let the market return to sane levels. It's too painful and too many rich people stand to lose so money if the value drops. They'll break out the money printers and make line go up.

The cost will be born by the workers. That's what I'm concerned about from a macro scale.

I feel the same way looking at the stock market these days. Those evaluations are way too high, and the market index is mostly just a handful of tech companies that dominate the value. This can't end well.

Only monsters accumulate that much wealth. You do it by stealing it away from those less fortunate.

I had some relatives fighting so hard to get their kids a voucher to go to a better school. I kept thinking why is it then that you vote to defund education? Shouldn’t you want schools to be better in general?

But no, they just went great schools for their kids in particular. Fuck everybody else.

Man, calculators with fraction support weren’t all that common when I was in school.

They get a ton of extra perks straight from the government that you don't even want to know about because it should fill you with rage. They're leeches.

These look so cool.

My grandmother had her house collapse on top of her. She was injured but I believe she will be okay. Logon Daanbantayan.

I can’t stand the feeling of anything touching my feet. Perhaps it’s about control. I never remove them except for bathing. At the beach it’s socks and sandals in the water.
