There really isn’t much difference in lifestyles between billionaires and people with 100 mil. No one needs that much money. Anyone who has made more than 100 million has done something truly heinous to do so. I feel we should set our sights at a much lower tax bracket to cut down any potential antisocial oligarchs.

The first step for me was recognizing that procrastinating created more work for me in the future. Also, having those swords of Damocles hanging over my head robbed me of my mental health.

Ha ha. Only serious.

How about some pre-transhuman solarpunk? I recommend my favorite book, Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. It’s about the birth pangs of a post scarcity society. Absolutely brilliant.

WW3 is more likely to happen if Russia wins. If we show our bellies to Russia, China would move on Taiwan. If Ukraine wins, we kill two birds with one drone.

Its purpose is pure pareidolia. I see a kid with fetal alcohol syndrome.

…Miriam Adelson, the **widow **of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson…

Wait! Sheldon Adelson is dead!? happydance.gif

I thought I was the only one who’s seen Scavenger’s Reign. I haven’t heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it’s amazing.

Six more months until season 2. Counting down the days.

Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it’s one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.

That makes zero sense. Elon Musk is a workaholic. You know, the polar opposite of lazy. He’s a POS but lazy he is not. Rather than campaigning, Trump plays golf. Dude’s as lazy as lazy gets.

Yes, it pulled out but did it pull out fast enough?

Really. Fortunately this has no relevance to present day. Right, folks?

… right?

I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.

HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.

The porn was fun though.

I think he’ll think that until the cold wet fish of reality slaps him in the face.

Of course he’d be okay with house arrest. Mara Largo has golf and beautiful cake and no poors.

Jail would be him and the Secret Service in solitary. I can’t imagine he’d be okay with even that.

Now do whatnow!? Are we still doing phrasing? That still a thing?

I got lucky with my wife, but had I known then what I now know of Japanese divorce law, I wouldn’t have rolled those dice. I just hope this means Japan is going to start shared custody when one parent is a foreigner.
