You'd be more legible if you just wrote in your native language and let us use Google Translate.

Seriously, that gibberish does nobody any good. If your browser shows red squiggly lines, it's probably not lying to you.

On my list... Major issues... To deal with it... I'm considering...

Dude, you're a powerless peon posting on Slashdot. You have no power, you never will. Nobody is ever going to take you seriously, probably because you're insane.

No, I'm not better than you. I'm a powerless peon who will also never be taken seriously or in a position of power.

You are going through one of your cycles again. You're starting to present as though you're a serious economist that is respected and considered. Your posts are starting to border on, of not crossing, the point where you're delusional.

I don't know if you're off your meds or not. If you've been isolating, maybe you should try to get some time in with people, besides at work.

Seriously, you're starting to worry me. The problem with delusions is things come crashing down when you come to your senses and realize you're just a lonely working stiff who lives alone and you've been typing insanities as your magnum opus. You're one small breakdown from no longer writing it on your computer but, instead, write it in fecal matter and stray cat blood.

Seriously, I worry about you sometimes. I've read your posts for like a decade. You go through cycles and you're in the middle of one. If you can really read this, go find someone to be your friend - even if just for a few hours. Get out of your house and stop isolating. Do something besides work, stay in your house, and actively avoiding people when you walk to the grocery store.

Go to the bar. Go to the park. Go talk to people in the park - but not unattended children, not that I worry about you, I just worry about the perception. Seriously, you're isolating again, aren't you?

Fuck, email me if you need to. I'm seriously concerned.

I'd wager you're a poor developer. Why? You'd know nothing on your computer is random, other than by name, if you were a good developer. At best, you have pseudo random and unpredictability. Neither is really random, however. Very few things, if any - depending on your school of thought, are random. The breakage of systemd is, by no means, random.

A good developer would know this. Maybe you'll find Windows to be a bit easier? Then again, judging by your comment, I doubt that you're a developer or that you use Linux. If you are a developer, pleae keep your code proprietary and locked up for in-house use only. We have enough bad code already.

Cramming stuff in a man's ass will massage his prostate, which is pleasurable. Females don't actually have a prostate. So, men are more able to enjoy stuff rammed in their ass than females. It's just basic biology.

I know you're now going to be curious about this. I recommend you try first with a zucchini.

That's pretty horrible, right? I agree, we should do something about that.

Now, there's about 52,000,000 people on welfare. The cost to maintain them is 1,700,000,000,000.

52MM is about 17% of the population, or just about 1/6 people get means tested assistance.

Here's the thing, it would cost ~3,000,000,000,000 to give every man, woman, and child (regardless of their means) $1000 USD per month.

We're already spending 1.7 trillion which is 56% of what it would cost to give everyone a basic income that is greater than they already get with welfare benefits. On top of that, 48% of that 1.7 trillion is currently spent on overhead and administration, including pension payments for the government employees, building upkeep, enforcement, and more.

So, we can eliminate all those expenses and just cut a check for $1,000 and only need 1.3 trillion more dollars - which we can come up with by eliminating social security, removing benefits for non-citizens (you like that idea, don't you), and throwing the F-35 into the dustbin of history. Even better, if we scrap the who,e F-35 budget, we'd have money left over to pay down or debts.

Long term? Sure, raise the rates on long-term capital gains tax from 15 to 20% and remove government funded pensions. That shoud just about cover it, though we can do even better by removing our military from foreign soil, passing the torch on the wars we're involved in, and scaling our military back to the size needed for a defense force. If we do that, we can fund a full eight years of college, medical care, and increase the Section 8 budget more than twentyfold.

And, we can pay off our debts inside of 20 years. Slightly less, about 18.8 years - with interest included.

What do you think? It sure solves that welfare problem, now doesn't it?

You're an electro-chemical gelatinous blob, mostly water and air, configured as an egotistical ambulatory meat bag with delusions of grandeur and a propensity for violence.

I don't actually have a point, I just really wanted to write that sentence. Your post made my brain come up with that. Thanks?

Women with decency and self respect are not the fun ones. No, you want a chick that goes ass to mouth and then licks your nuts when you paint her face and ruin her makeup.

Don't be dumb.

Sometime children are murderers. It happens. Would you call that normal?

Keep in mind, I don't mind transfolk at all. It's not normal. It's acceptable, it's not normal. There's nothing wrong with teaching civility, but let's base it on the truth.

Labor costs never make it to the credit side of the final tax accounting. I don't know what AC is talking about. Labor is an expense. Taxes are after expenses.

I've been to Cambodia twice. I've been all over that region - but never on the Indian subcontinent. Strange, really. I kind of want to go, but I never have.

That said, I do like Cambodia. I have enjoyed Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Vietnam, China, and I'm probably missing a few. Of all the places in that area(ish) I didn't really enjoy Myanmar/Burma. When I was there, people were in a bit of a state of terror, it was raining like all fuck, and I was ill for most of my visit. I was only there for a short time before I decided it was best (read, safest) to leave.

I've been in some pretty fucked up places - like Somalia, Peru, Colombia, etc... Myanmar was one of the worst. It wasn't the violence that bothered me, it was the resignation of the people. It was the deadness in their eyes. It was the distinct lack of singing, dancing, and laughing children. Also, it was the oppressive heat, rain, and some sort of bug that meant I was shitting pretty much pure liquid. And the lack of a decent hospital... That probably had something to do with it.

But, Cambodia was very nice. The last time I was there, I rented a bungalow out on Koh Rong (I think that's how you spell it) and it was dirt cheap. It was like $20/day and that included house keeping and a meal anytime I meandered to the main hall for a meal. The food was excellent, it was like Thai only a little bit spicier. I don't normally like kimchi much, but I've had kimchi (or the equivalent) in Cambodia a couple of times and it's a bit different than I'd had in South Korea. It was more tangy, but without being tart - if that makes sense?

I'm really not good at describing food, am I? Anyhow, I'm sure you've tried it. It's awesome stuff.

I have done Sweden but did not cross, not even once, into Norway. I know... I know...

I may take you up on the place to stay part - and do some visiting. It's not set in stone, yet. That and I'm likely to make an extended trip next summer. This is just me getting the mold off my feet. I've been home for too long and need to do something with myself. I need to be on the road, to be somewhere, to be going somewhere.

This is a frequent state of mind for me. I have had wanderlust for as long as I can remember. I've been known to just hop in a car and go - no notice, nothing. My last really good one was six months, 26,000 miles, and I never left the continental United States. It was quite a trip.

LOL Check your inbox, by the way. It's raining so I've not yet gone out to the blueberry fields.

"... on this scale." Yes, I'm thinking industrial. The smaller ones are pretty much useless for whole house power. Residential wind turbines don't really make a whole lot of sense for most people, certainly not in the tropics.

With all their scandals, with them hemorrhaging (that's surprisingly more difficult to spell than it should be) cash, and with their impending lawsuits and maybe even criminal charges - who the fuck is gonna buy into their IPO? Maybe the banks are smarter than I am, I'll grant that easily. But, I just can't see myself loaning them money.

Their revenue is pretty impressive, but they've never turned a profit. Compounded with the additional risk factors (like those lawsuits and maybe even criminal liability), I'm pretty sure I'd have better luck loaning money to a homeless meth addict. Hell, I'd probably get a better value for my dollar by loaning it to a homeless meth addict.

Though, I'm pretty sure the banks are smarter than I am - and have access to financial information that I don't have.

As a lark, if they do IPO, I should invest a small amount and then write about how it performs. I got in on Tesla fairly early on, though I invested a larger sum than I'm willing to risk on Uber. With Tesla, I got in at ~24/share. That's done very, very well for me - I still own the shares. However, I wish I'd written more about it. I only made Slashdot posts and, maybe, a couple of posts on Fark.

Hmm... If they IPO, I'll invest $1000 to $5000 and write about the results. It seems like it might be interesting. Well, I'll consider it - that's more accurate. I may change my mind.

By the way, there was a not-too-distant change in the laws that allow a regular citizen to legally fund startups via venture capital, with some caveats of course. I think it might be limited to just $2000/year but it might be higher and it might be worth looking into, assuming the startup bubble doesn't pop. They say that 1:10 turns a profit. It might be an interesting gamble. I'm not sure that I'd call it investing, so I'll stick with calling it gambling.

First you get the money, then you get the girls!
