Oh yeah I don’t think it would be a new life path. I’m more thinking a very serious hobby

The “ghost cities” myth comes from the fact that China plans with a 15-20 year horizon and people in the west have forgotten what forward planning and a healthy economy looks like.

These ghost cities are mostly thriving now and even back in 2015 the myth was being called out as bullshit and myopic, more a symptom of the failure to plan in the west.

I mean, just look at the housing crisis almost all the west is experiencing right now before you chuckle in a self comforting way about ghost cities.

It’s called “planning” mother fucker and the west should have done it too.

Did you protest arming Nazi militias like Azov that posted videos of themselves crucifying people and burning them alive or giving them electric shocks while making them dig a grave?

My mid-30s regret in life is not being academically trained in the humanities and instead working in tech.

I’m wondering if I go back to school as a vanity project.

Has anyone done this? Is it too cringe to be the mature age student asking questions when the rest of the class wants to leave?

Should I instead just work out mindlessly and develop an art practice?

God damn I want purpose.

Any civilization advanced enough to travel the cosmos must surely be communist so I’m rooting for the aliens

The peak of the internet was Friendster, Geocities, MySpace, and the chat with a random stranger button on ICQ

Yea a sense of socially superior status plays a role you’re right

The innate desire of a programmer to make a process more efficient and the satisfaction a programmer gets from the community recognizing the quality of their solution is proof that communism will work.

I’m a 20 year programming veteran and let me assure you that NOT ONCE has my work experience been verified.

Just lie. Fuck it.

As we mark the 50th anniversary of the horrific coup in Chile, we must make clear that we regret our involvement and commit to supporting Chilean democracy

Apologize for the coup in Pakistan last week or fuck off
