In 1140, a German king captured a castle, and made a deal with the castle wives.
He let them leave with whatever they could carry on their backs.
Leaving everything else, the women carried their men out

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

Well ripped out the broken CPU cooler in my gaming PC and replaced it with a new AIO and PC works great again (or whatever counts as "great" wrt to Windows 11).
I haven't fully restored the RGB barf inside, working on it; meanwhile enjoy a picture of Eero a few years ago.

A one-time national guardsman, who deployed for civil affairs, can absolutely lecture *checks notes* the most senior generals and admirals in the US armed forces on whatever “warrior ethos” is.
It’s a protein powder, right? Warrior Ethos sounds like a protein powder available from the tiktok shop.

Hegseth to tell generals about the 'warrior ethos' in rare gathering: Sources
Officials say the gathering could last just 30 minutes.
