Oh snap!!! I think I played on T3 for a LOOONG time in the early 2000s. I once even beat Machine once.

I can't remember my handle...I've had so many over the years.

You are lost and thought DOGE was a good idea? The entire org is ketamine-fueled techbro Elon wannabes; not the best life-valuing gurus.

Maybe take a Buddhist retreat for a year and see if doing quiet charity work feels better than trying to consolidate electrons.

Or just be lost while building affordable housing? Try focusing on others rather than you.

Constantly, like every 10k miles or once a year.

Feynman loved to go to strip clubs, so it is totally possible to be a genius and a perv.

Time management is key.

This sort of thing happens all the time in big cities. Person is arrested, life up ended, and charges end up being dropped or dismissed. Their personal life has suffered a major setback, all for a government oversight.

Even that poses a fun test. What flipping method is needed to ensure some level of randomness.

I love that idea of a grifter being able to flip a coin as they choose.

Toyota's "Respect for People" was a sort of joke to me when I worked there, then I worked at Amazon and saw the opposite.

Toyota is a great company to work for, albeit super boring.

Try.

I was always the smart kid. Got A-Bs without effort. I regret being lazy and not learning how to learn and work, and I wonder where I would be had I not goofed around so much.

All workers benefits increase with proximity to unions. Doesn't even have to be the same industry, but often it is. See: nurses and teacher unions.
