Presumably you would switch or cancel accounts/subscriptions as the emails get forwarded.

This would be for a mop up of old subscriptions you forgot about.

At a certain point I realized part of my brain is just fucking with me and has been the whole time.

There’s two prongs to this

1. Caching is an optimization strategy used by legitimate software engineers. AI dorks are anything but.

2. Crippling information sources outside of service means information is more easily “found” inside the service.

So if it was ever a bug, it’s now a feature.

Enthusiasm for this level of automation is pretty much inversely proportional to having to work on/around it.

Automation can be great. But the tail of exception cases is very long.

Lights out automation is the “AGI” of logistics.

and learns how to copy its various characteristics

Because you are a human. Not an immortal corporation.

I am tired of people trying to have iNtElLeCtUaL dIsCuSsIoN about/with entities that would feed you feet first into a wood chipper if it thought it could profit from it.

They monetize it, erase authorship and bastardize the work.

Like if copyright was to protect against anything, it would be this.

Disgusting.

And I’ve found loads of walnut shells in nooks and crannies. I’m not going to cut a black walnut down.

Buildings need to be built properly to exclude animals regardless.

Trees in general do all of those horrible things you mentioned.

shitty…fixer upper

You have the best kind of house! Since its market value is already low you don’t have to worry about all the stupid shit people fret over when their house is too valuable.

What’s leaking?

How old are the cracks? If they’re old, then whatever shifted already happened and no longer matters. Just keep an eye for new ones. Like a casual eye. Don’t obsess over it.

no perfect fix

And if you need convincing, go measure some parts of your house. Peak around in places and see how its actually assembled compared to how you thought it would be. Then realize it hasn’t fallen over yet, so maybe perfection doesn’t matter.

A reprap style project could probably make a passable document printer- but what’s the appeal? People only work on those projects to make new or previously unobtainable machines available.

I just don’t think it’d be worth the effort.

And have you ever read the forms? I don’t know if writing the software could be seen as tax advice or filing on behalf of someone.

Probably not. But its enough that I wouldn’t be interested in working on the project.

But isn’t all velocity relative?

must be traversed in one direction

See that’s the part I’m not so sure of. At least for all information transfer. Matter is likely too weighty to go against the current.

But time “feels” like a plane where traversal is just beyond my fingertips.

Or I’m just in the really early phases of dementia.

not punishing coup attempts

This always goes well.

The cruelty is the point.

Time probably isn’t real.

I don’t know what to do with that information. It’s just a weird gut feeling.

where legally, “sell” includes things that most people wouldn’t consider a sale

Allowing access for valuable consideration is pretty cut and dry. What is the legislation defining beyond that?

I understand.

I can’t think of anything particularly bad he did, but someone will always have something to bring up. I wanted to sidestep that and just point out the reality of the office. There will never be a good American president- and it has little do to with the individuals involved.

Edit: Wait, you aren’t who I was replying to.
