I know people who rent or bought a place with a dishwasher and who proudly proclaim “Oh, I only wash dishes by hand!” Dude, there’s nothing noble about washing dishes by hand. The machine does a better job, and you could even be using the saved time to do something productive for society, if you were so inclined.

If you have a smart anything, smart fridge, camera sensors etc there are millions of unsavory people all over the world that already have your information.

If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it's not because you are not trying hard enough. It's because the system is designed for you to fall and fail.
