I'm browsing the internet via a lynx browser that I was able to access inside a BBS. 300 bytes per second for 5 cents / minute.

Fucking magical.

If a game deals with difficulty with this method, I'll probably end up using cheats in the easiest gaming mode. Hopefully the story won't suck.

Perhaps a trillion galaxies out there. Numbers of stars in a typical galaxy is about 100 billion. But at least we have more grains of sand on our planet.

Anyway, life most probably gets better after high school, and most probably keeps getting better until you're old enough to develop some disease. Or perhaps you die in war, or in a hospital bed, or homeless under a bridge.

I truly don't know where I'm going with this.

Perhaps Trump is pissed that he's not doing it again this year?

Probably not. Berkshire Hathaway alone is paying like $10B in taxes every year, and that's just the income taxes of one company. Given how the article considers total taxation, you'd have to think about e.g. all the VAT taxes even the rich cannot totally avoid.

Closing all loopholes and making taxation fair is a great goal though.

If Russian moral values didn't include brutal militaristic expansionism, this might be not a bad idea.

While shopping around for a distro for my gaming box, I tried NixOS and Bazzite. Both were fine, but the atomicity made everything more complicated without any practical upsides for my use case.

So I'm just using Nobara, which is a gaming-optimized Fedora. For my laptop, I'm just using Arch, it's much less hassle. The declarativeness of centralization of NixOS is alluring, but I don't really need it.

Jesus this is dumb. And it worked?

Don't worry: this place doesn't reflect the general american public in any meaningful way. That said, the general american public is probably a bit confused as well.

I'll throw my 2 cents in: Jon Stewart should make a sketch about how he jokingly accepts the candidacy but then it turns out to be official to his "dismay".
