I don’t believe you.

Ok I’ll bite. Do you actually?

Thanks for the detail.

If you ruin your installation, is it easy to rebuild with the automation scripts you wrote?

Why? Is it super stable?

What’s the top right image from?

People definitely made fun of Johnny Depp as a native American.

Reading. Writing. Coding. Studying. Exercise.

It’s all grotesque mimicry. I haven’t seen any ai-generated erotic content. I’m afraid to ask where that keeps showing up for you. But I see ai content everywhere else, and the word “slop” is perfect.

kidnapping them in the street at gunpoint like a common thug isn’t really work

Kidnapping sounds like a lot of work. Sounds exhausting.

This applies to “teens” until they have to get jobs and do what they’re told or else be homeless.

Homesteading, or just growing your own food, is a great idea.

However, if you simply buy fresh meat and produce then you’ll have an amazing diet.

I’m not actually sure that’s true.

I love this

I don’t even notice Debian, which is exactly how an operating system should work.

And yet…

Free speech is chaotic specifically because it allows chaotic speech. So free speech being chaotic doesn’t depend on the speaker’s opinions. A particular instance of speech being chaotic depends on the speaker’s opinion. But free speech is chaotic because it’s all about allowing a chaos of speech.

What depends on my opinions?

I’m pretty sure free speech is chaotic. I’m 100% for it, but it’s chaotic.

In relation to “comeuppance,” that stuff is not entirely relevant. Frightened goons and croneys/lackeys still show “respect” (and probably feel it as they understand it). They’ll also act out the hostile wishes of the cruel bastard they follow. Comeuppance doesn’t follow my wishes through them. If I want a good life, I can’t get hung up on whether they get what they “deserve.” I’m focused on my own things.

And yeah, I’ve had one of those guys literally yelling at me that “the only respect is fear!” I disagree, but his friends obey him and I’m a loner. There will be no “comeuppance.” That’s resentfully imagining revenge into the universe. That’s how you become warped and hostile. I have things to do. I’m not interested in “comeuppance.”

Actions have consequences, but if you’re a cruel bastard the consequences might be that people give you more respect than you “deserve,” and if you’re smart about it then you can manipulate and torture people your whole life. I’ve seen the “worst” people, totally abusive and dishonest, commanding the most respect. They have no conscience and they spit on people who don’t “fall in line.” I just avoid them.

Stupidity and bad luck bring about “comeuppance.” There’s no such thing as “deserve,” at least not objectively, not to the universe.
