dear government of 2035 - so you've lost your workforce because everyone got
too lazy due to the advancements made in AI. What are ya gonna do?
Here's an idea: just pay people to be experts. That's it! Just pay them to know
a bunch of stuff. Then, when people ask them questions, they can answer those
questions, and suddenly everyone is elevated. Subject matter experts.
That way, the AI pitfalls can be avoided - need to do something specific? Don't
ask the AI, ask a randomized expert!

kinda wanna make a linux distro that has all the capabilities of a GUI distro
and isn't so minimal (like screen recording, calculator, screenshot, wifi
manager, etc etc) but with i3 instead of a desktop.
they could literally just be symlinks (shortcuts) to scripts that are in your
/usr/bin or whatever directory
seriously it's not like there's THAT many ways to use ffmpeg, why not just
write a script for them? that's what you're going to do when you use it for the
first time, anyway, so...

I don't really like singleplayer games
sometimes a multiplayer game is too much effort to play with extra players,
like Factorio where like anytime I'd play with other people they'd just kinda
fuck off and do their own thing (whatever, I wanted to design a factory
together, not play singleplayer together >.>)
sometimes a multiplayer game has no players, RIP
sometimes a multiplayer game has incredibly skilled players who shit on noobs
and don't teach, RIP
and sometimes a multiplayer game has no IRL friends that are into it, (personal
RIP then)
... anyway, games are fun and we should play more of them. I wish I didn't have
so much time to waste, but hey I guess that's where I'm comfortable, so...

║ │ The officers approached the door, a brief nod between them, and they │ │
║ │ knew it was time to begin the familiar sequence. The first officer │ │
║ │ knocked loudly three times, while the second took on a speaking role. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Police! Open up!!” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ After a few moments of quiet, a gruff voice, muffled behind the closed │ │
║ │ door, spoke up. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Come back with a warrant,” came the unwelcoming reply. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Oh, but we have one. We have a signed search warrant for this │ │
║ │ property, so come on out,” the officer confidently replied. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I wanna see it, then,” the voice from inside countered. “Slide │ │
║ │ it under the door.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ The officers looked puzzled, no one had ever asked to actually see the │ │
║ │ warrant. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Well, we don’t have a paper copy of it,” the first officer said. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Right, everything is on Docusign these days,” the second chimed in. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Put your phone through the letter box then, I’ll take a look at it │ │
║ │ on there.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I’m not going to give you my phone,” the second officer replied, │ │
║ │ his phone now in hand. “What’s your email address? I can forward │ │
║ │ you a copy.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ The gruff voice provided an email address to the officers. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ok, I’ve sent that it should be in your inbox now.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Nothing.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ok, check spam - sometimes they go into spam,” the first officer │ │
║ │ interjected. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ah yes it’s in spam. But it’s not opening, it says I have to │ │
║ │ login to my DocuSign account. I don’t have a DocuSign account?” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Well. Can you just sign up then?” Asked the second officer. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I ain’t paying for DocuSign!” The voice replied abruptly. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I don’t think you have to pay, it’s free to view documents.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I don’t wanna risk it, I have so many subscriptions,” the voice │ │
║ │ inside responded. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ The officers contemplated their next move. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Do you have a printer?” One asked. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Yes,” the voice inside responded. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ok, does it have AirPrint?” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I think so? How could I tell?” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “What’s your wifi password? We’ll join the network and we’ll be │ │
║ │ able to tell,” the officer responded. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ok. Wifi password is $42xnskwfgewzfgekueod!&3.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ The first officer rolled his eyes. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ Fifteen minutes later, after breaking the WiFi passcode into manageable │ │
║ │ chunks, the officer was finally connected. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ok. I see the printer. It has AirPrint. Thank God. Ok, I’m │ │
║ │ printing now.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Nothing is happening,” said the person inside the house. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Ah, it just said you’re out of yellow ink. Do you have any more │ │
║ │ yellow ink?” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “I do not, but why do you need yellow ink? Just print it in black and │ │
║ │ white?” │ │
║ │ │ │

║ │ print.” │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “No way. And yet, I’m the criminal?” The voice inside replied. │ │
║ │ │ │
║ │ “Right?” The officers laughed, before finally becoming resigned to │ │
║ │ their fate. “Ok, we’re going to go print the warrant at the │ │
║ │ station. I’m out of daily printing credits so will have to wait for │ │
║ │ them to reset at midnight. Please don’t go anywhere or remove any │ │

are you about to delete a post that you thought was funny, but actually wasn't
once you wrote it down and read it to yourself?
STOP
write it down on a post-it and put it under your desk or behind a drawer
put it in a .txt file in a random directory on your computer
send it as a text message to yourself
write it down, take a picture of it, and then burn the paper
y'know, typical stuff like that
do this and I guarantee you won't regret it
