Universal basic income AND universally distributed rations. If nobody goes
hungry, then people can spend their money toward things they care about, and
not things they need to live.
Without the rations, UBI becomes just another tax, levied by the landlords
instead of the government.
With the rations, people can frolic in the street and do whatever they please.
If you aren't too concerned about having enough to eat, why bother with
capitalism? Why not just lie in a ditch?

honestly... I'd just talk to a therapist for a couple sessions. Like, yeah,
they put that rule there because they want you to be safe. And in 2010 we
didn't "get" it as much as we do now, so it wasn't seen as something you could
just do. It wasn't really a demographic question to them, it was more
medicalized.
frankly I kinda preferred it that way, like... yeah. I'm trans, there's
something wrong with me, please fix it by giving me the right hormones. Boom,

I transitioned in the USA in 2014 and I was lucky to live near an informed
consent clinic. Two appointments and a hefty informational booklet and I had my
prescription.
I didn't want to talk to a therapist. So I didn't. Now I kinda wish I did, not
because I wish I did something differently, but rather because I feel like it
would have helped me understand what I was feeling.

I know you don't want to hear this, but there is a chance that there will come
a time where your life depends on your ability to debug a computer without the
internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist
because network connectivity has been lost, could you remember syntax? Maybe
it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about
technology. Maybe it's a good idea to set up on your parents computer, just in
case you have to hide out there for a couple months. Maybe it's a good idea to
download wikipedia, just in case.

Cast upon a pale blue background, the brilliant reflections appeared as
endless rainbows without arches - but cast upon a world so distant it was
infinite - like sunlight radiating from the darkness of the surrounding night.
The perspective of a dewdrop, resting on a stone in a forest, the world must
seem so infinite - stretching out beyond comprehension, beyond the limits of
what may be - massive yet constant, changing as it seethed.

in a place organized like capitalism, you go to university for four years (if
you're lucky) and then work until you can't anymore. Then you're taken care of
(if you're lucky) until you depart from this earth in peace.
in my home, a home I've never lived, you'd stay at that university for as long
as you'd like. you'd work whenever you liked, and if enough work wasn't being
done then working would be made to feel more likable. then, when you're old as
dirt (or whenever you'd like) you can depart from this earth as you please.
