on dry beans v canned beans

Absolutely no comparison! In any cooking method, the energy cost is a few cents, but cooking from dry is 6-8x cheaper.

There is nothing objective about that 'objective distribution' why would the output automatically center on good?

Cranks be banished. Half the fun of going to popcorn movies is the experience of talking to it with the rest of the audience. If you can't enjoy collective experiences then just stay at home desolately weeping with your criterion collection. stfu!

Worker cooperatives prove the important but limited point that while capitalists need workers, workers don't need capitalists. Most 'employee-owned' companies in the US and UK are mainly owned by the highest levels of management with some more buy-in for middle management. It's typically done with some kind of vesting scheme that keeps junior employees on the hook for years.

These firms still exist firmly within a capitalist context and require workers to become their own exploiters.

I think unfortunately you do need to have a lot of pre-emptory remarks prepared. The key things to cover are to establish your self-awareness and then discuss some of the triggers of your difficult behaviors and how you want others to feel empowered to address them.

This isn't one-to-one with a cluster b disorder, but I struggle a lot with compulsively making mean comments. With new friends, I have a short speech explaining it, how I share my true thoughts, and encouraging them to directly speak to me if they feel upset or offended. Sadly, it doesn't work all the time and more people bounce off sooner, but the people who do stay around it has been possible to build more secure and healthy friendships with.

It might be helpful to find a similar process for yourself.

No need to be stinky, they're just asking for advice. If you're annoyed don't respond, but why be rude?

I have been using the same $20 alcatel flip phone with little degradation in quality for 2 years sounds like a skill issue.

It seems like a lot of things you want to do on your phone are unnecessary. Why not just use the banking websites in your browser at home? Why not just keep a paper calendar?
