God, please let Amazon crumble under the weight of its hubris in my lifetime.

Switched to Firefox in 2023 and it's wild how much shit just works now.

I got it for travel and it really is a top notch portable gaming hub. Doubly so because emulation is really easy to set up and run through the frontend. I love being able to play Elden Ring on the go.

It makes a lot more sense if you reframe it as freedom for rich white landowners in the 1800s to not have to pay taxes to King George, not so much for the peons, paupers and slaves.

There's a sandwich shop around Vancouver that's only open like 10-2 on weekdays so I hardly ever get to go, but they get their bread from a local bakery every morning and it makes all the difference. It's a simple turkey and cheddar sandwich, lettuce, tomato, pickle, a hint of mayo and Dijon mustard, but the ingredients are all quality and, again, the bread is fresh and super soft.

Wow, it's almost like trying to measure and codify man- and womanhood is inherently dangerous and phobic, even to cisgendered people who don't meet the nebulous standards set by bigots who are obsessed with other people's genitals, and we should maybe just stop doing that and let people identify themselves however they want?

Just a thought.

My job absolutely fucking sucks but the money's good and I need insurance so I can't leave without having anything lined up, and the market for IT jobs is absolutely dogshit right now so I've had zero hits on the apps I've put out.

I hate capitalism.

I can picture it, but I cannot imagine the pig happy.

You don't look like a hag. You look like my cool aunt Lisa.

I suspect the problem is they end up being targeted studies directed toward low-to-zero income individuals because trying to sustain that kind of disbursement across an entire town, even a smallish one of about 6-10K people, would be out of scope without a research grant approaching a billion dollars. That feels pretty unlikely to happen.
