America is truly a magical place. This is beautiful. Frivolously -- dare I say vexatiously -- claiming to be a class member in some lawsuit you barely understand and which you may have basically zero standing to count yourself a part of, all to make a quick buck.
Land of the free. Land of opportunity. God Bless America.

Paying a premium for the delivery of hyper-specific quantities of groceries that will just barely cover ~70% of your dinners in a given week seems really silly to me, so I've never tried it. I've been tempted to try them out, but every time I think about it... like... if I'm going to pay a premium to have meals delivered, we might as well go the extra mile and have a restaurant cook it too. Y'know? Hire a private taxi for your burrito.
That said, I remember seeing someone talking about how they'd order catering from Chipotle for their weekly meal prep, and the math worked out really nicely. Seemed like a way smarter move than having some company ship you one meal's worth of cabbage or whatever, or hiring a taxi to drive dinner to you. May be worth considering once your trial period ends. 🤔

There has never been a communist paradise because every attempt to create one fails! I'm saying the reason true communism has never been tried is that every time they try to try true communism, the People's duly appointed leaders become possessed by the corrupt and decadent ghosts of the eternal bourgeoise, and this invariably sends the whole system spiraling towards an authoritarian hell that is -- fundamentally -- capitalist (at least in spirit). Or something.
Lannyism solves this. I imagine.

Even if it were true that we don't have free will, it seems like the worst possible thing you could believe? Like, just from a practical perspective.
Believe free will exists | free will exists you are conscious of your power to shape your destiny and are thereby able to do so.
Believe free will exists | free will doesn't exist you are mistaken (the horror), and you do as you were going to do anyway.
Believe free will doesn't exist | free will exists worst case, your capacity for agentic behavior is completely retarded. best case you are pathologically humble.
Believe free will doesn't exist | free will doesn't exist you are correct, but you don't even get to feel justifiably smug about it. it's not like you could have chosen to believe otherwise, you soulless automaton.
