Procrasturbation.

Simple solution: Piracy. If they won't sell it to you, then steal it.

Giggity

I used to have those dreams when I was starting something new - a new school year, or a new job. It's my imposter syndrome, manifesting in a dream.

Compromise: Quit now, and keep your head.

I don't want to be measured as worthless by everyone around me

There's your problem right there. You need to learn to not fucking care one fucking bit what ANYONE else fucking thinks about how you and your family decide to live. They can all go FUCK themselves, and you don't have to worry about it even a little bit.

If your wife is cool with it, then create your own reality, rather than involuntarily play a role in someone else's.

First thing I thought of was "TARGET PRACTICE!"

We need to talk a LOT about Jury Nullification in this country. They are trying to weaponize the courts, and ultimately it doesn't come down to the system, or the judges, it comes down the Citizens simply saying NO.

Trials put the power into the hands of the Citizens, and we should exploit that power against our Opressors. WE will decide who gets punished in this country.

I read an article not long ago that put it in really good perspective. In the not so distant future, when we look into the night sky, there will literally be a single natural star, among every 15 stars (or something like that). It was truly alarming.

Since the beginning of time, trillions of humans and other creatures have gazed at the night sky out of awe, romance, navigation, science, religion, or just sheer beauty, and now these Sociopathic Oligarchs are going to STEAL that core human experience from every future human, just so they can be a little richer, and abuse us a little harder.

When the time comes for these parasites, they deserve absolutely no mercy.

They will decide to kill millions of us before they use their profits to pay UBI.

So far, the only things that the Sociopathic Oligarchs and Government seem to be excited about is using AI for either surveillance, or to take jobs. I haven't seen one example of it being useful for anything that would benefit the average Citizen.

Give me one reason that people should be happy about AI.

If you like it today, you can do it again tomorrow. But if you put if off until tomorrow, and like it, then you have to live with the knowledge that you could have done it another previous time, but you blew it.
