You know that joke "I could do that if I wanted to, I just don't want to"
I couldn't do that. Especially not while dancing around like that.

Honestly though? This post is fuckin true. There's a six figure market for just going door to door with a snowblower in winter and a lawnmower in summer.
One of my goals with my son has been to try to listen to different music from around the world and throughout time. If you just start immediately after the class of the Roman empire with Gregorian chanting then you might assume that there's a nice linear progression from monotone to polyphony to early classical, but stuff like Sumerian hymns and ancient Greek hymns are much more complex, and that's just the stuff that was written down. It's really true history isn't written by the winners but by those who write it down and maintain those writings.
There are universal human values, but it's not what these people think they are.
There have been societies that we would think are objectively terrible throughout history. The Assyrians bragged about forcing someone to grind the bones of his wife and children before being executed himself. And people might think "but where's the universal human values in that?" But it's built right into the sentence. The Assyrians did this to the outgroup, because humans are tribal. They forced this guy to grind the bones of his wife and children because family is universally important. And then they killed him because staying alive is universally important.
The problem is with those basic human values that are built into us by genetics, you can take those as a start and then start driving in different directions and end up with something completely different. Sun Tzu said there were 5 notes and from those 5 notes you could create infinite melodies, and 5 basic elements of strategy and from those you could produce an infinite variety of strategies. In an even more correct way, you can start with a few fundamental human values and drive them into an infinite number of systems of ethics, and they can all look completely different.

Good thing they're going to bring in all the people in Epsteins little black boo -- just kidding lol
The guys I've liked lately will never make it. Samson and five times August went hard and oh will you look at that
I could never do YouTube and streaming as a job because I'm not very charismatic or interesting. It'd be like the worst public access cable TV show but worse.
The real key is to make sure that you're actually getting what the things are worth. In the case of a lot of privatization you have the public take all the risk and spend all the money to build the thing, then you hand it out to some politically connected actor for pennies on the dollar.
Public companies potentially could be used as an alternative to taxation, but you would need a dramatically smaller government for that to work.

If there was an antitrust case to be made against google, I feel like this would be the one.
I have them on gog and just started a playthrough of BG1. The fact that there's an open source port is nice.
I remember there was a book I read when I was a teenager (so back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) where you'd actually run RPG battles in the course of the book, and you could make some choices like that too.
I don't think that's what these are though. Those were actually pretty cool.

[Admin Mode] Woke up to no Internet, it's back up now. No idea exactly what happened, but it was on my end.
"What does that far right BIGOT do? Build electric cars and battery plants for renewable energy? FIGURES."
