When I look up at Mars, shining brightly in the night sky, I find myself filled with hope that one day I will be able to point and say "See? That's where all the billionaires died."

Free yourself from the hardcore gamer in your mind, and design for the player you want to hang out with.

I know it's a neurodivergent thing but I never have to pee until suddenly it is the absolute primary need on my heirarchy of needs and it *always* interrupts me when I would rather it not

scientists should simply make it so you don't have to pee

It's not impossible it took them a while to get the doctor's side of the paperwork. Which is busywork a doctor shouldn't have to do to begin with, so we're back to insurance companies literally being the lowest scum of the earth.

also love that the patient support program, run by the drug company, whose entire job is to make sure I have an uninterrupted supply of medication, won't return my calls/emails.

I tried to leave but no company would respond to me about non-games jobs for programmers. I think I'm doomed. Well, other than having a good job I like at the moment. But if that disappears I dunno what I'll do cause I definitely won't want to go to any other games job after this.

exactly what the clown-horn was made for

I've had a guitar up for like a year at a pretty damn low price for what it is, and I still get posts like "will you take (half value) CASH" and it's like my dude no, the price is the price.

"I'll come back when you lower it."

"I won't."

my original answer was going to be creating a man-made island visible from space that was just a penis, but then I decided to go bigger and more true to myself.

I feel like at some point people on social media started seeing literally everything as performative; a way to communicate how good and proper a person they are, rather than leaning into the messy side of being human which is that things are rarely so cut and dried.

I would spend the rest of my money hunting down and eliminating the sax resistance.

"Why is it called a clown-horn mommy?"
"Because a rich person hated it."
"What did it used to be called?"
"No one knows."

If I were cursed with money I would pay every manufacturer, artist, and rights holder to rename the saxophone to clown-horn.

I would pay tech companies to change any existing or new instances of the word.

I would offer a book trade-in to get an updated book, and $100,000.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

if that $999 pet you use it on a few computers, AND came with a 6-10 year support guarantee? Yeah, I'd pay that much.

any reply I want to make to this would likely result in a ban and/or law enforcement showing up at my house
