If a person gathers enough money that they can't spend it fast enough, then
they are hoarding it and it should be be distributed through the rest of the
economy. There are legitimate uses that could benefit from extra dollars and
by keeping them locked up they are damaging the economy, and hence, our
society, which is largely governed by our economy.
There is a legitimate fear that dismantling the system of monetary exchange
will cause people to barter in influence and clout instead, trading favors and
making illusory transactions that the government cannot impartially enforce.
Impartiality is the entire purpose of governance! Look to NFTs for an example
of this. While that is a valid concern, it is just as if not more concerning
to consider that they already do this. They already trade favors for blood,
gold, and property. What else is there to covet, in their wicked and cruel
game of maximum exploitation and unlimited industrious fallacies?
I believe it is reasonable to curtail the worst excesses of their monetopoly
by diverting power to the people who can contest them. Just as rulers of old
were checked and balanced by the vote of the citizenry upon implementing
democracy, so too much power be abated by depriving it of its most powerful
leverage - that of its crushing weight, when applied en masse.

appreciate the gifts I leave you. Thank you for never giving up, and I trust
you to take care of me and the things I care about. I'm proud of what you've
done with me, and I'm hopeful that one day I'll be just a bit like you.

gonna stop selling anything that I write. Any previous contracts are null and

frankly is to show it to as many people as you think would be interested in it
to see.
I never sold a single copy, I just... put it up for sale. Nobody saw it! The
webpage has never even been opened. Alas. just means I gotta relinquish the
potential for capital gains from the labor I use to generate that which I

I wish games started with everything unlocked and if you wanted you could
"start a journey" or whatever and lock everything but a few options... then
slowly as you play the game you unlock new things to do until eventually
you're back where you started.
Essentially... starting at level 100 and having the option to prestige right
away. If you want the experience. While playing a game. That you have every
right to enjoy as you will.

hobbies are for getting better at something, not consistently accumulating
more stuff related to it.
you engage with a collection hobby by learning more about it, like
paleontologists who study fossils.
if every (dinosaur) nerd was a collector, there'd be no such thing as a
museum. much better, I find, to centralize the storage of precious
irreplaceable pieces and study them from afar.
hence, tool libraries as the more ethical form of "means of production"
dispersal.

The truth is
The reason none of my revolutions have yet succeeded
Is that the only way
To secure peace and love on planet earth
Is that all the governments
Of the world must topple
Or relinquish their nuclear arms
Each all at once
And i was too quick to slay my false duke
Who plays at king
While i build real power

the second reason is that the supreme court recently repealed the Chevron
doctrine, meaning experts and specialists in government positions are now
unable to perform their jobs unless they are loyal to the party in charge.
this is an extreme form of authoritarianism unheard of outside of
dictatorships. It is tyranny, to demand allegiance in order for the government
to function.
if the experts are purged, the decisions made by the systems they once upheld
will no longer necessarily be tied to reality. this is one of the primary
reasons why the Soviet Union fell into decay, and I will not tolerate that
flaw to be introduced into our domain.

many people have not seen the kind of opulence I have.
my early childhood was during an economic boom - the dotcom bubble brought
wealth to us all.
I saw how life could be. how clean, how measured, how thoughtful, how robust
and stable our lives could be. I saw it because that's what the eyes of a
child saw, but that's what I saw.
I think of what would be required to reach that kind of society for all and
the only conclusion I come to is that the accretion of power in singular hands
causes corruption in those who wield it. In doing so they twist the people
they compel or effect, making them learn the wrong lessons.
essentially, evil trained into us by the demands of the society we're present
in.
I see no other cause, no reason for suffering. We have the technology to build
vast cities of solid stone, glimmering crystal sculptures and walls of moss
and ceremonially ornamental bones, but instead...
I think we just like what carbon can bring.
but have no fear, fusion is just a decade away, then we can |

okay how about this - whenever you buy something instead of spending money on
it you actually put down a deposit. Then, when you're done with it, you get
your deposit back, minus a percentage based on the (lazily calculated)
condition of the thing you're using.
Would work best for things with replaceable parts, because otherwise if you
like turn in your phone because some irreplaceable part is missing then you
wouldn't get anything back (except for what the pieces that are replaceable
are worth)
you still own the thing, it's just that you can trade it in for a down payment
on the next one you buy. Or for whatever the heck you wanted. Basically the
system that car's work under, except applied to everything (and maybe run
through the government so there's no need for a profit tax like the kind
predatory car dealerships levy)
I think a system like this would encourage the average person to desire and
seek out consumption options that had replaceable parts and/or were more
durable, which is something

whoa cool 🤩
Dragon Warrior was the first game I ever played. When I was ~5 years old or
so, my mother bought a gameboy color for me with two games before we went on a
plane ride. I don't even remember where we were going, but the fact that she
knew that a portable video game console with two games (Dragon Warrior
1&2, and Super Mario Bros Deluxe) would shut my autistic ADHD ass up
enough to be respectable on an airplane makes me realize how much she saw me.
Thank you, mom, I love you
Anyway I was the eldest "brother" (I'm trans lmao jokes on you, family in the
past) so if anyone deleted my save I would kick their ass :D
It still happened once or twice and I did not, in fact, kick their asses,
though I wanted to. Shame. Missed opportunities I guess
Though to be fair it's not like anyone in my family ever expressed the
slightest interest in anything I was into. Not like they'd want to play games
because it was something they wanted, oh no - they would only do it to be
close to me. Whatever >.>

I broke something today that someone gave me and that I was going to give away
as a gift. But the more I think about it, the less I think the gift's
recipient would have wanted it. I do however regret hurting my girlfriend
while I broke it, that was an accident. Sometimes you trip, sometimes you
slip, and sometimes you stub your toe. Accidents happen. It's okay, just
apologize, and realize that power is what you make of it, and we all have the
power of our own actions as we touch and prod the environment around us where

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

In games, the one who takes the initiative often wins. Because games are
designed to be symmetrical, in order to be fair.
In more complex games, Paradox games for example, games where you look at maps
or otherwise have unequal starting conditions simply due to the unique nature
of each team, the initiative, while an advantage, is not necessarily the
driving force that determines who wins.
But it is an advantage, and they say that sometimes weeks happen in months and
years happen in days or whatever.

we should treat computer production more like vehicles such as cars rather
than fast fashion disposable vapes and shiny and pretty concrete-and-glass
solarpunk houses.
also I believe cars should be entirely and completely mechanical. Even the
radio should be entirely analog. No capability for remote code execution if
there's no code being run...

I can write C in Rust, but I can't write Rust in any other language.
there's a lot of unique semantic options for accomplishing things that I
already know how to do that I often find my syntax is pretty... basic. lots of
manual assignments, no more than 4 or 5 levels of function nesting.
I like to use threads and arrays, and think about in-game simulation more like
a calculation than an input-reacting device. though input would certainly be
encouraged to make the simulation more precise.
the borrow checker gets in my way, but that's not too big of a problem - I
just have to copy a bit more data around. Easy peasy.
(I'm a bit rusty, but I can learn syntax)

🥕 That's just called statistics. And if y'ain't systematizin' your
statistics properly and rigorously then it's even worse than divinin' entrails
cause numbers are easier to believe.
I don't love nature because I want to be in it. I love nature because nature
is important.

in 10 years, everything that's killing the planet from energy usage alone will
be accomplishable trivially with the massive amount of recyclable solar panels
we could build.
oh, unless we blow them all up in a civil war tho. then the world is just...
worse, for no reason.

your bones are made of minerals. so... picture your bones like they were made
of salt. like, when you're meditating. salt bones with vesicles or whatever -
the tubes for blood to go through. crazy strong salt though, that gets harder
if you do impact training. it's pretty cool all things considered, bones are
essentially pre-pretrified fossils.

Growing up, I started with 3 video games - Super Mario Deluxe, Dragon Warrior
1&2, and Asteroids. For the gameboy color. Then, a year or two later (what
felt like forever), Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Classics. I was so lucky. Not because it was more expensive than my peers, but
because I had the right games.
Others joined later, Tetris, Mario Kart, Star Fox, etc... But having so few
that were so good for so long made me adore them. I would play for about an
hour a day, any more would cut into my imaginative play-time.
I did not dream of games. But I craved their moments.
These days, I play games for so long that I dream of them. In my most
vulnerable moments I treat them like my baseline state, rather than a
prescribed appointment of delight.
I miss wandering around without thinking of my objective. The games seemed to
change, rather than progress. They felt alive to me. I never beat them,
because I didn't need to.
I'll raise my kids the same way, if I ever having any...

all games that you can lose are capitalist games. All of their mechanics are
abstractions upon the competition between the player and the computer (and
possibly other players), which creates a disparity of outcomes - some must
win, others must lose.
I think that's okay, though. There's something inherently satisfying about
power. I believe such interactions should exist in our diversions, not our
institutions.

Okay how about this, for starters? Jobs can no longer ask for degrees, instead
they must rely on certifications. In addition, everyone who has completed a
degree receives money every month in exchange for their increased value they
bring to whichever job hires them. This money is sourced from a tax taken on
businesses in rough proportion to the amount of money they save by paying
their employees the same amount, no matter their education.
