I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.

Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.

Cinnamon Rolls!

1: Fifteen seconds in the microwave are the PERFECT time for those rolls.

2: Add the glaze when they're MUCH cooler to get them to stick longer. Otherwise, just spooning the glaze back on the rolls works GREAT.

Oh no. The cinnamon rolls. They were fantastic.

I can make my favorite baked good any time I want. And it's good.

Oh no.

So I did the Luby's Bacon and Cheese Chopped Steak sight unseen from their recipe book (which doesn't have a picture). Apparently, there's is very long and thin compared to my burger-patty looking one.

Turned on the TV and this was playing in the background, and suddenly I was right-hooked into 1996.

Update: It did bring out one of the staff who asked some tech questions, which I answered. That's a huge plus right there.

Post.News is pretty frustrating as a lot of basic functions are broken for me, and it appears complaining about it brings out people who make me feel even less welcome.
