You can vaporize some stimulants like methamphetamine and crack cocaine. They will motivate you at low doses. At higher doses, they will mainly motivate you to do more drugs.

Once you have a class of people, who don’t need to work, they will do interesting things. Many scientific advances and exploration was done by nobility and rich, who could afford to do something with their lives, which didn’t directly make money.

It’s easier and less risky to try to become a pro athlete, if you have enough money so you don’t fall hard, if you fail.

However for sports, there’s also huge programs run by states. Socialist countries typically put quite a lot of resources into identifying talent early and then systematically training them. The Soviet Union and later Russia are especially known for this. Many militaries allow soldiers to become full time athletes while being paid as soldiers. This works really well for national prestige.

America got rich because when the rest of the Allies were fighting the Nazis they sat back and loaned resources

America was already rich before WW2 started. During WW2 nothing in the USA was destroyed by the war, whereas Europe was devastated.

Buying ECC RAM is a good idea.

Wir haben Pringles zuhause.

This is what self care looks like.

Yes, always do research and be careful when combining drugs.

BBS were cute. However the costs and connection speeds were pretty brutal.

Yes, but it was a cassette. Loading programs took ages, but we watched TNG on broadcast tv in the meantime.

Newgrounds was an amazing treasure trove of creativity and games.

The interview is from 2007. Interesting points of identity and nation.

Nevertheless a recommendation. The Zapatistas and Rojava are the most successful real world projects of non authoritarian socialism around.

There’s also Deezer, SoundCloud, and others.

The reason why I stay with Spotify is sharing playlists with friends and Spotify connect supported by my HDMI receiver.

With a shared family account Spotify is also affordable.

If you configure the Mac mini with a decent amount of RAM, it will last for a decade of use.

Yes, it’s not cheap. Apple makes you pay in money, what you gain in convenience and time.

You know in ‘The Princess Diaries’ when Anne Hathaway says that when she kisses the guy she knows she’s supposed to be with, her foot will flip up? That’s what love feels like," she said. "The lights will magically turn on. The birds will start flying. The fountains start shooting water. Love is a Disney movie

So far you haven’t suggested to do anything, only criticized.

Als jemand der Arm und arbeitslos ist, kann ich dir sagen das Alkohol billig ist. Natürlich nicht in der richtigen Kneipe, aber beim Kiosk um die Ecke kostet das kalte Bier 1,50 € bis 2 €. Das können wir Harzer uns leisten. Im Supermarkt billiger Schnaps und Wein ist auch billig.

Also wenn man kein starker Säufer ist, dann ist Alk schon erschwinglich.

This is how immigration is used to divide the workers.

This black and white thinking only makes you feel morally superior, but doesn’t actually change anything.

It’s been like that that since I can remember. Upgrading can extend the lifespan by a few years, but often it’s a good idea to replace the whole system.

It depends on a lot of factors of course. If you buy a midrange machine now, you can upgrade it in five years to a high end machine from today, then five years ago.

Rarely do you get to take advantage of technology shifts like hard drives to SSD. A couple of years ago, adding more RAM and an SSD made machines usable, that had these bottlenecks. Still the best thing you can do to an old laptop or desktop.

Over the last decade performance hasn’t improved that much for most typical use cases. An i7 from ten years ago with 16 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD, and a NVIDIA GTX 1080 is still a decent computer today.

What makes PCs great is that you’re more flexible regarding how you configure your machine. Adding more storage, more ports, extension cards, optical drives inside your machine etc. is just nice.

With a laptop you end up with crappy hubs and lots of cables.

A loving community that personally knows you and how you operate help of course. Not being along when swimming or someone else driving for example. Or you living a life where you don’t even need to drive a vehicle daily.

Exhaustion and depression are a result of constantly being overwhelmed, hypervigilant, and so on.

Your environment and activity can change your neurochemistry in a major way.

Let’s say you lived in a multi generational family. You don’t need to do all the laundry and household chores by yourself, nor do you need to manage them. Singing silly songs with a companion during chores make them more easily doable for someone with ADHD.
