Godspeed! And may the the bbq sauce life raft carry you safely across these treacherous waters.

I'm wheezing at the amount of existential dread in your question about BBQ sauces. Sorry man, life may be shitty right now but at least you've got a good sense of humor.

I fully agree. And it feels great to do something you believe in without expecting to recognized for it. I just tried to give an alternative to comment awards that would limit the visual noise.

I could kinda tolerate Reddit gold as an alternate way to donate. But then they added a boatload of awards and it just became annoying visual noise. I blocked all awards and I'm suprised there are people who miss them. Why not add a donator badge to user profiles if you want some kind of value for your donation?

Thank you so much! That would be awesome. I can only offer you an invite for Tildes in return.

How did you get an invite? I'd love to join but the waiting list seems really long right now.

Hmm... if you convert each byte to little endian floating point, you'll get a latitude/longitude of 1.09301/1.10702. And those coordinates lead to a point right in the north atlantic ocean. Is this where you hid the body?! gestures wildly

Thank you! I'm a bit hesitant to log in through another site but I'll try hosting it on my server.

Oh right... I went into full conspiracy mode when it should have been pretty obvious. (Or maybe you just want us to believe that...)

But maybe you could explain the secret of your username? Is it unicode for the chinese word "乏" which means poor/tired? Is it some magic number or boot signature? I need to know!!

But how would you define the point at which our material needs are met? It feels like it's an intrinsic desire for humans to gain an advantage over other people. Or at least we want the illusion of being able to gain an advantage through either hard work or gaming the system. For me it seems like capitalism lies in our nature and it requires a complete change of our societal values to move to a different system. Not saying that I think capitalism is a good thing.

Why would you not be able to bypass news paywalls? As long as one user pays for the service they can then crawl the site and host the content on a separate site.
