I managed to spend one night in custody in a prison instead of the police department.

The furniture had an uncanny resemblance to the furniture in the run-down public school I went to.

And the drawing on the walls unmistakably resembled the writing on the public school toilets, too.

And it occurred to me. It's the same people. And their hand writing and stick men had not improved.


Arrested development is extremely common among people who wind up in prison.


> Avoid caffeine after 10:00am

Also: Avoid caffeine for the first 90 minutes of your day.

The lifting did it with me. And going to bed at 10 every night for two years in my early 30s, because there was someone next to me I wanted go be like.


> Sometimes it is best to just move on. My favorite jobs have been fun at the start and fun years later as well.

Why did you quit those?


Wanting to buy drugs online doesn't make you a criminal.

Wanting to be criminal also doesn't make you a criminal.


Buying drugs online almost certainly funds criminal acts. Some of the most vicious gangs in Europe traffic “mild” drugs like Ecstasy, Ketamine and marijuana. Denying this is to be profoundly dishonest with one’s self.


The most vicious gangs are fully legal and have billion dollar market caps. I'm not going to sweat this.


Technically his comment says "wanting to" not actually doing it.


Even doing it isn’t a criminal act everywhere. My point was that there are ethical implication of engaging with dark web sites irrespective of what the law says.


you forgot to include tobacco and alcohol in that list...

In most jurisdictions buying drugs is a criminal act, or why would you buying them online? If you commit a crime you are a criminal, by the definition of the word. You can argue about the merits of the law, but it doesn't mean that you've not committed the crime.


I bought a synthesiser online recently. That's not a crime.


I made toast this morning. That is also not a crime. Are we just listing things we've done here?

On a side note I did not actually make toast but now that I'm saying it I wish I had some.


You said "In most jurisdictions buying drugs is a criminal act, or why would you buying them online?" which implies that you only buy things online if it's a crime. You didn't mention where you bought your toaster or your bread, not online I hope!


I actually take all my mom's money every month and put them in one of my accounts.

Then I pay her fixed expenses and give her cash whenever she wants. She mainly spends money on yarn and LPs.

After retiring, her only trouble in life is her health and her children who beg money from her.

She can't refuse them, but she kept saying she doesn't want to. Eventually we agreed that I admin her money.

We're planning that she moves in with me and my spouse.

Cooking for her every day and removing all economic worries is the best I can give her.

When she leaves Earth, she can decide who her money goes to. (I'm not on the list.)


This is like saying "There aren't enough high-paying jobs".

Remote is one property of a job to select for.

You may not value it high enough to compromise on other parameters.

Sure, there aren't enough remote jobs for everyone to have one.

But everyone doesn't want a remote job, just like everyone wants a high-paying job. (Sure, everyone wants money. But they want to work excessive hours, or work in a field they find questionable? Well, maybe high pay isn't always a good trade-off either.)


In my social circle, most of the people complaining about RTO work in big tech. They just want to keep their massive salaries without having to go into the office a set # of times per week. Others just want to GTFO of California but keep the same salary.

There are endless startups that are hiring which are 100% remote, but they aren't handing out 500k comp packages for staff level engineers though. It's a pretty obvious case of wanting your cake and eating it at the same time.


Since clearly you can buy things for Bitcoin, it is money.

You can speculate on the value of any currency. I’ve earned thousands extra this year by invoicing foreign currencies at the right time, at no loss of my customers.

Bitcoin only has value for me because of the things I can buy with Bitcoin. (Privacy preserving technology, online services, drugs, helping friends of friends get out of Ukraine.)
