I mean cmon │ ║ it's been like a hundred years since we signed that constitution thing [you │ ║ don't know anything about our history] and frankly it's a little out of style. │ ║ We were thinking we'd redo it with our new-fangled rock-and-roll and │ ║ dungeons-and-dragons [cultural artifacts meant to deceive and mislead] and │ ║ honestly we're quite a bit more ethical than the past. We've learned so much! I │ ║ mean, the founding fathers didn't even know what a soviet was, and here we've │ ║ seen them fall on their swords. Repeatedly. Then command others to do it too, │ ║ because it was the regulation or whatever. Anyway we don't want that, but we │ ║ also don't want an aristocracy, which is essentially what your plan gave us. │ ║ Well, not really your plan, but instead the stuff that the rich added centuries │ ║ after your death. ok?" │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1201 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-883 it's cool. Frankly most of the tech people I know had rich parents. rich parents in the 2000s and before meant access to computers, which meant you were leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else who doesn't know the difference between a file and a directory. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1202 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: deranged, murderous │ └─────────────────────────────┘ @user-882 true, and that was somehow seen as progressive ? ? ?

Yeah I know that feel. Currently trying to find a job doing anything tech related, because frankly there isn't much else to do in america besides tech and service. And service jobs don't involve solving problems, which is the only thing I'm good at T.T ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1204 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ @user-883 │ ║ │ ║ the future is what we make for ourselves. │ ║ │ ║ there are endless problems to solve, yet hardly anyone around to fix them. │ ║ │ ║ If only we had a small group of people who could organize and say "hey. I need │ ║ someone to solve this particular problem" to a large group of people with │ ║ nothing to do and no bills to pay, I feel like we could get a lot done. │ ║ │ ║ alas, the problems that need solving are too specific and complex. Almost by │ ║ design, they've stripped us our capabilities to address the difficulties they │ ║ hoisted upon us. Alas! That we should be so morassed. But time and again our │ ║ ingenuity compels us. │ ║ │ ║ I dream of a world where people like you and I have a purpose, something we can │ ║ apply ourselves to and eventually overcome. I subscribe to "grand narratives", │ ║ but frankly they're only of my own design. Does that make them any less grand? │ ║ I think not. │ ║ │ ║ If I knew enough people perhaps I could be like that. I could direct and │ ║ organize and administer and manage and apply our guys. But alas I am just a │ ║ noob sigh. │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1205 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-883 I've used it a bit, frankly more than I've played Minecraft in multiplayer. I was around before they added enchanting tables, and I've barely touched it since xD xD ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1206 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-883 https://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/html-pages/terra-voida-2 I might have heard of that speech before ; ) EDIT: this is from my website, try not to pay attention to all the kooky-dookerie on the left side ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
