Terry A. Davis’s story inspired me to try coding professionally.

Unfortunately coding professionally convinced me I’d have more fun in IT.

I want to be called out.

I love philosophy stuff and often I’ll start to form an opinion that’s a scientific or even problematic.

My lovely fiancé will often call out potentially shitty thoughts and I re-evaluate them.

What’s crazy is that, personally, I seem to know just as many “Can’t this guy take a hint” women as I know “I’m not good enough for him so I should block him” type women.

I legitimately know two women who had that concern, blocked the guy on everything, and he either made an alt or found an obscure social to DM them on.

Both are happily married and medicated for their anxiety now.

This feels like propaganda to get me to want kids.

I would take care of alt timeline me because I know what I would have wanted and how that gets me to here.

I mean if someone can conceive it then yes.

Personally I do think there will always be a “class” of some sort since even among career and financial equals I still view colleagues as a different class of human.

Like I’m a camp in the woods kinda human where my coworker is a take his car to a race track kinda human.

But that’s never the class that is being discussed.

A classless society is specifically one where someone doesn’t have power over you by some financial measure. A true meritocracy as there is no financial incentive to be in those roles since it is also a moneyless society.

Utopian? Maybe. Conceivable? Yeah I can conceive what that would be like and I want to strive for it.

Maybe its not important if its possible and its just important that there are people willing to work towards it or implement something like it in their own controllable way.

Is it a HUD or just a spy tool?

I gotta wear glasses anyways so it’d be cool if I can get like a pathing over lay with maps and maybe customizable notifications.

But video calling and just taking poorly framed pictures isn’t interesting.

If you haven’t seen The Last Kingdom I heavily recommend it.

I made this document a while back for new gun owners with the absolute basics.

Wall wart gang!

Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism

Yeah that’s covered in the book and podcast.

Not in crazy detail but it is there already within academia.

The idea is that whatever hyper dense state of energy caused our big bang has caused others.

I’m just a tech guy so I can’t explain it with justice, but I heavily recommend at least scrubbing that podcast for when they talk about almost exactly what you described!

Damn it! Another book for the list!

I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the “big bang” and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more “big bangs”

It’s called “Battle of the Big Bangs”

I learned it from Alex O’Connor’s “Within Reason” podcast episode 115

I’m a Linus shill, but I’m also a Craft Computing, LevelOneTechs, and Jeff Geerling shill.

Fuck, we were talking to an expert

You didn’t ghost her first of all. Inadvertently or otherwise.

This is a pretty easy way to gauge someone’s interest by just seeing if they ever message you first.

Really you should just take this as a sign to move on and work on relationships that are two sided. Ones where the other person texts first.

Sorry its happened to you, but its always better now then after you’ve invested a serious amount of time and emotional energy into a relationship.

Ya know. I don’t know. Every state does this as far as I can tell and so I’ve never questioned it.

If I had to guess, its how the DOT or Highway department shills to Tue new governor

“Hey look boss, we put ya name on da side of Interstate 69 from Illinois!,”

The fact that gods and magic also seemingly exist really fucks me up because its explicit in Tue original book that god is just a tool for smarter people (Foundation) to manipulate dumber people (everyone else).

Obnoxious atheist take? Sure I guess.

But it feels as if someone rebooted harry potter and made the kids saying something nice about trans people or Jews.

Legitimately, if they had just done a “A Foundation Story: Empire” and then just did the genetic dynasty stuff, I don’t think any of us would be mad.

But I don’t think general audiences have read much Foundation these days so they would have struggled to set it in that universe without an established Foundation Cinematic Universe.

Anyways, I’m super excited for Tue Foundation super cut that’s just Empire.

I did until recently. My partner wants a better relationship with food and thinks cooking will help with that.

So now we both do cooking on different days. I make what I know and they do Hello Fresh meals.

Its been great!
