But I just can’t stop.

Is that unusual?

This is like a SimCity news ticker item.

IRS: Your work is worth doing because it indirectly helps people pay taxes to government which indirectly increases the United States’s gross domestic product compared to other nations by helping corporations consolidate into monopolies which indirectly allows corporations to [directly control government via regulatory capture to] indirectly lower prices via consumer welfare doctrine which (allegedly) indirectly lowers living costs of consumers to buy food to feed themselves.

Hot Dog Stand: You feed people, making them happy.

The ability to force any two conscious beings to feel empathy. Like in the 2015 novel ::: spoiler Title Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky :::.

One of the few surefire ways people have to make the powerful face personal consequences: waste their time.

If it weren’t Docker-dependant, I’d imagine this would be a good FreedomBox app.

That’s right up there with using dowsing rods to find ley lines to find witches to burn.

Buying a house increases the switching cost of moving to seek new job opportunities. Since we’re no longer in the days of pensions renting makes sense.

By that logic, pedestrians are the most foolish.

Pisces. Albeït. Melancholy. Queue. Colonel.

Hamas is crazy as Crazy Horse was “crazy”. You know what both have/had in common? They are/were fighting displacement of their friends and family due to colonizing powers. The only difference is the latter’s people suffered almost complete annihilation while the former is a work on progress. If the British didn’t insist on making Palestine their reservation for Jews, then Palestinian freedom fighters wouldn’t have had to fight Zionists violently encroaching upon their native land.

“I’d like to raise a family. Let’s see what a 4-bedroom condo costs in the city with decent schools and transit. 2 000 000 USD? Hah. No kids it is, then.”

I really enjoyed Chokepoint Capitalism (2022), the book he co-authored (read: had someone else back up his frequently repeated anecdotes with reputable citations in a proper Bibliography) with Rebecca Giblin. 90% of the interview can be found in that book already with 10% being new slogans and anecdotes that can’t be found in that book.

We’ve had First Gura, yes, but what about Second Gura?

Pashonka!
