  • The communism ideals are great. Problem is, they historically fail when put into practice. Funny thing, it’s because of power hungry assholes. That same reason is why democracies fail, why republics fail, why monarchies fail, why theocracies fail and so on.

    If only there were a pattern here that we could learn from. One person with too much power and eventually, you’ll get an asshole so mad with power they bring the whole system down and we have to start over.

    The more parties, check, balances, laws, and red tape, and the like help stave it off for longer, but nothing lasts forever. There is no perfect system that can’t be undone by assholes.









  • 1- start an llc (pretty easy can be done online in about 20 min) 2- get jobs

    Part two is the tougher one. I’ve read that a lot of programmers are selling their services on fiverr (a pretty big freelancing site) to fix AI slop.

    There’s also dice.com (Though this may be more consulting/contracting than freelancing). You can filter by and get corp-to-corp contracts. These mean your llc gets paid, and then you pay yourself from that. The pay for a corp-to-corp is typically higher than a W2 because everything is included, and you have to deal with it all. Like benefits, bonuses, vacation days, supplies, etc.








  • I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.
