A million people died for not much of anything. That is some insane meat grinder. The destruction alone will take decades to repair. The animosity may take exponentially longer. Virtually everyone loses. Get your shit together Russian people, the Putin regime has to go.

Identify a problem that you can solve using code. Use ai to help with syntax and code structure. Chip away at the problem a little bit each day.

Just torrent that shit while the streaming platforms get their house in order. It’s not acceptable to be racist to Linux.

I once used a laptop in a coffee shop to write a screenplay. I had ornate facial hair and wearing a beanie. Shit was tight af. Later on I clogged their toilet.

Yes Satan, I will honour and respect our corporate overlords.

Who’s gonna make all the technology, music, art, etc, after we’ve finally cured autism? We might have to start re-autisming people.
