Oh, it just refreshes the page. At least, that's what it's supposed to do.
Here's the code:`Refresh Page (click me every time you visit)
`
Honestly I'm only 90% sure it actually works. I mostly put it there for people
on mobile sites who wanted to be absolutely sure there wasn't anything new,
because Neocities sometimes uses a cached version on your local machine and
when I'm busy updating things sometimes people can be like "omg dead links?
this suxxx" and then tab away and never come back which is... fine I guess

the problem as I see it is that whether building houses gets automated or not,
they're going to keep building fewer and fewer of them and making them cost
more and more with cheaper and cheaper materials and labor until something
breaks.
I personally would prefer if that something were their necks, but we'll see
what happens.

true, but building a house will never cost 100$. Maybe 100,000$, and at that
point you could build but a few.
Meanwhile, they're throwing around *millions* of dollars. we're not
measured on the same scale as they are, and if we ever dip our toes into their
end they will bite them off.
If supply and demand were real laws that guided our economy, then wages would
have gone *up* after COVID, because so many people died. Housing would
have gotten cheaper, because fewer people were living in them. Food would have
gotten less expensive, because people were growing their own vegetables and
baking their own bread while they spent months isolating themselves. But alas.

Yeah plus the second time around you're likely to make something better than
whatever incomprehensible hack you did the first time.
More time working on the project == more context which means you might even
have solved the problem twice already and now just have to copy-paste something
that's more robust than your previous one-liner.

If our government was of the people, by the people, and for the people, then it
would aim to make all of its citizens as rich as it could. A good place to
start would be by encouraging deflation, so people could buy more high quality
goods on the international markets, and by regulating the power that select few
individuals may use to extract wealth and labor from the "lesser" citizens.
I don't know about you but I believe that all men are created equal, and it is
unconscionable that some may bend others to their will.
Liberty, liberty, freedom for me but not for thee, for I am a despot you see,
of my own little fiefdom, this palace of renown - I built my playground from
the blood and bones of your kin, and I stand here on the high ground. Come at
me! See what my army of drones can do. I built them overseas, with an army of
slaves that I'm not accountable for. Come at me! See who the police of this
nation will protect. I paid for them, after all, with my endless coffers and
vaults of inherited wealth. Come at me! See who will believe ye, the media is
at my beck and call. Propaganda works on everyone, and everything you see on
your phone or TV was written for me. So take care, little one, lest I kill you
with a thought. Less than a thought, for you are just a number to me.

In engaging in this manner, they are sharpening their skills and talents. Then,
when peril strikes their world (everything from a black dragon seizing control
of parliment to a flame elemental awakening and threatening to Yellowstone the
globe) they are honed and tempered enough to combat them.
Power begets power, though, and with greater nuclear proliferation comes
greater threats, like an demon alien invasion, the afore-mentioned death
incarnate waking up, the elemental forces of hate and despair corrupting the
very earth beneath their feet, an evil time-travelling dictator bringing
fascism to the Americas before Columbus showed up (along with WW2 tanks and
industry), a bunch of ghost pirates and dinosaurs I think? (I was in college
for this one srry), more demons, and then I think like, the shadowlands or
something idk I hung up the phone when I got the message.

In World of Warcraft, the world is split into a red team and a blue team.
Neither is good, neither is bad, both are honorable and deplorable in roughly
equal measure.
These two factions are engaged in constant skirmishes in a select few
battlegrounds designated as areas where they test their mettle - at first they
warred across the globe, and they still occasionally do, but a few specific
battlegrounds emerged as focus points of their engagements.
Typically, they are chokepoints between two major fortifications, one owned by
one faction and the other the other.
These chokepoints are not held permanently, as they hold little strategic
consequence. However, they serve as safe, constrained theatres of engagement
that allow for the hardening of resolve.
Great care must be taken, as war is not a game. Karate won't defeat a puppy-bot
with a gun, but it might give you the willpower and discipline to learn how.

In Warcraft, there's a theme that was first developed in Warcraft 3 and
subsequently reified with new flavor in every World of Warcraft expansion. The
theme is "good and evil testing themselves against one another so that larger,
more deadly threats may be addressed upon their arrival"
In Warcraft 3, an immortal Night-Elf trades his soul for demonic powers to save
his people. However, it is not enough, and he is forced to team up with an
ancient corrupted mermaid and the prince of a fallen kingdom who is forced to
resort to blood magic to survive. Their goal is to defeat the spirit of death
incarnate before it destroys the world. However, they fail, simply forcing him
back for a time. They are the baseline, they did not test themselves upon one
another, simply teaming up as allies of circumstance. They are the Islamic
State, or the various factions in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000s, always in
conflict, with a semi-collective goal, but mostly allies of circumstance, if at
all.
