as a kid, what did you think you’d definitely get as an adult that you never did?

Stabbed.

A few people tried, but I’m fast. I know the best way to win a knife fight is not to play.

You are given the power to criminalize one legal thing/activity- what are you making illegal?

I’d make it illegal for any C-level exec (or similar position) to make 10x or more than the lowest-paid employee tier in the company, with very strict and frequent enforcement. This would include any form of compensation, including stock and deferred comp. It’d also include busting the way they’d inevitably attempt to get around this edict.

This wouldn’t eliminate inequality but it’d be a good first step. And it’s much easier to enforce than a lot of clown-level thinkers want you to realize.

How the Internet obeys you.

I was a fool in that I should’ve realized Ian Welsh was a uselss clown when he spent so much time writing that the internet and smartphones were really of no import, and had no material effects. In reality, both together were enormously society-altering and consciousness-shifting in multifarious ways that would take shelves of analysis to unpack.

Thinking so poorly about so much…I should’ve noticed this sooner.

Lord, that flow. Envious.

Building a digital music collection in 2023.

LOL at using fucking Git for this. What a crappy way to do it. Use Syncthing instead. It’s built for purpose instead of some dirty hack.
