I think what you seek is a great companion to truly share the responsibilities with.

I am a father of two wonderful kids. I do more drop offs than my wife, I changed just as many diapers / handled sick care, I handle more of the nighttime routines and give each kid a 10 minute back rub every night while my wife lays in bed (9 years and counting for my eldest) and cook more than my wife. She does clean more than me, folds more laundry, prepare their lunches, organizes their after care and play dates and babysitters more. She also worked harder when the kids were 0-6 months than I did for sure.

I begrudge her for none of what I do “more”. It’s hard work but I love being with my kids and my wife works her tail off running her business. We have a great balance and I feel lucky. And yet life isn’t perfect and, it being hard work, it’s easy to point fingers instead of focusing on gratitude and real world trade offs (two things the paper and feminism generally lack).

I think it comes down to ambitions. Do you have ambitions to be financially successful, to have a wonderful career or marriage or to be a great parent? Although feminists are loathe to talk of hierarchies for obvious reasons, they nevertheless have their use. So let me hierarchize: I truly have greater ambitions around being a parent than anything else. We also happen to be financially successful (more so because of my wife) but she has greater ambitions around that than I do.

So anyway, I think we are the counter example to your last statement and show that it can be compatible. And many of my friends are similar.

You’re being myopic. Yes, TVs being better and cheaper isn’t that useful. But ACs, dishwashers, washing machines, beds, cars… etc. are all useful counterpoints when discussing the economy and these are impactful. And beyond the normal big ticket items, smaller items (thank China and Walmart) are cheaper. And that adds up. Lamps being cheaper doesn’t seem like much but add that across all the furniture in the house.

The tracking of your bag is great. But when it comes time for you to go retrieve it from the thief… how is that going to go? Are you going to wrestle with them?

They used Claude code to write it.

This isn’t how it works. Duller blades are more dangerous because when you cut with a dull blade you have to push harder and then that blade can do things you’re not anticipating.

Have you spent any serious time in the kitchen? Sharp blades are incredibly important for… cutting.

Fun that this is getting the attention it deserves. I order the kit and am excited to get it.

One other ancillary benefit is no more “impulse” buying. Unless of course the AI gets incentivized to do it, it will then bubble that impulse buy up to the consumers UI.

I love instax… it’s seriously so good. The wide version especially. I’m addicted to shooting it.

This statement is so far outside of the bounds of reality it's laughable.

What about those people that are using United Health Care and getting the support they need? They account for nothing?
