I watched serenity before i watched firefly. Wish i could watch both again in the other order.
BUT i think i had an interesting relationship with the river character that many other fans dont have because i got to view every river moment knowing where her story ends up.
On a different tangent, i wish we could get a Book of Booke or The Good Booke show/novel/film
And we have tried to clean the slate many times throughout history, but we always get back to where we are. And it will probably work, but i dont think we can until we weaken this digitally reinforced system this time. I think it needs to be broken more before we can get rid of it and the mechanism to breaking it is very simple, we the people need to use the system as much as the corpos do.
So if we keep money circulating and OUT of investment, we gain power again over finances. Maybe not enough to reverse the problems, but enough that we CAN get to a clean slate.
I think it will take a world war that changes the maps forever to happen any other way, which i think would be worse for too many people who wont survive. If this was in ukraine hasnt already shown us
I think we really just need to remove the burden of having to work yourself to death just to pay for the existence you didnt ask for.
Which is why UBI or other similar strategies are becoming popular again. Ive thought a lot about this recently and we have too large or a system that depends entirely too much on transactions of money because it is a much easier way to trade goods and services as opposed to some kind of bartering system.
But money and power corrupt everything over a long enough period of time. Massive turmoil can short circuit that as in times of crisis where values can shift greatly.
I think the systems we rely on can’t really be dismantled at this point. We need to create an equilibrium before we can start that dismantling of useless,broken,restrictive,unethical, ways in which we transact with other people.
UBI should be used as the mechanism to achieve that equilibrium so that everyone can use the system. If we arent able to financially exploit people anymore than the people will be able to live for the themselves.
Not everyone will want to use that opportunity for self improvement, and we need to work to build a system that lets people not have to be a part of it while it still provides for them to live their unasked for existence in much more meaningful manner.
Conservatism is a vile plague of inhumanity, oppression and death and should be treated as such. It is due for a cure.
And yet they seem to be the majority, or close to it. So one has to ask, why is that so many people turn to it. It has to give them value. And is that value real or perceived.
For some it is very real, usually the exceptionally wealthy. Which means conservatism is profitable.
Not having empathy for anyone outside of your in group would make it easy to dismiss or justify the fact that the first rule of capitalism is find a weakness and exploit it
Probably not what you were looking for but this week i had cheese curds stolen at work out of the work fridge. Could only have been 1 of 23 people. Won’t ever find out who. I can be reasonably sure it wasn’t half of them, can’t accuse anyone since im a manager and the company response is basically don’t use the fridge if you don’t want to have things stolen
Everything you said i have lived. I say this because of what to have said. 100 a year if that’s all you can plan for, 10 dollars when. But keep adding too it. I’ve had to show out my entire savings before. Which granted weren’t much worth mentioning to be honest, but i do regret not having had something put aside
What iearned for myself is to put together a rainy day fund, and when you fill that up then put the rest into an untouchable(but not really. Invest or just save, however you want to do it, but there are times you will wish you had started thinking long term a lot earlier

Start saving some of your money. Whatever you can but have damned restraint and dont spend it
All i have is OccupartionalFirstAid Level 1 and it drives me absolutely insane with frustration to think about what things real health professionals worst fears might be.
You didn’t have a good experience with it, many of us did have some food experiences with it.
But it made going out on the Internet interesting. Today I’m not sure if its less or more risky to view a sketchy site, is it more risky now with ransom ware, data scraypers, and such.
Ide consider viruses to be less of a risk today, but my results probably vary
My experience was that those webrings often worth checking out if you didnt have something specific you were looking for today.
Its not the same at all, but theres a sense of my experience when i suddenly realize im on wikipedia and have opened 50+ tabs after I’ve finished what i was reading. Then just going through the tabs you have open
I wish also that THAT search engine also made it so turning on results that have paywalls is a thing you can only have turned on if YOU turn it on
Wow i got hit right in the nostalgies thinking about StumbleUpon
Reread what i wrote and thought about it today.
What message im hoping to say is its all downhill from here. Autopilot and AI will be crammed into every piece of tech imaginable and car manufacturers tech has always been trash, I dont know what its going to look like at the bottom but weve gone over the cliff already and we wont know what its gonna look like in 15 years, but we will dream of what we have today.
Ill bet you 1 dollar im not wrong
Uh cars now have subscription services for various features. You dont just get whats in the car when you buy it second hand, you still have to pay to use those features.
Repair costs are stupdily expensive in comparison, and require significant diagnostic tools to do simple things because everything in your car has a sensor in it.
And cars are now spying on you to your insurance company because you dont actually get to decide if they are allowed to use your data or not
Sure cars have a lot more features, but they used to just work
More directly. The playstation was developed as an expansion for supernes. Then nintendo changed their mind and sony decided to keep developing it as their own device
Created their successor in following generations
Only as abserver, not a student. But thats cool you are close by , maybe o could come watch you DJ if you do live shows sometime
If you’re ever working in Vancouver, can i come job shadow you for a few days? Always been curious about the technical side of audio production
And is chemically very similar to the chemical that gives cinnamon its flavour.
NileRed(or maybe NileBlue?) made cinnamon hearts out of styrene
Not all phones work that way. Just tried it on mine btw
Im conflicted. I want to watch the usual suspects again for the first time but with Kevin Spacey being too much of that movie I dont know if i would even if i could. And that makes me sad because it had one of the best moments in cinema…and that has been completely tainted by a shit person
