You were programmed to say that because I’m the only one that’s real.

I wish I could find it now, but there was a quote attributed to someone suffering under an oppressive regime which would blatantly lie, and yet it remained accepted: “The lie is the insult.”

I find comfort in knowing there are more planes in the sea than there are submarines in the sky.

All planes land, some more controlled than others.

Take-offs are optional; landings are mandatory.

Well, there’s the NASCAR driver Richard Trickle…

Note linking is what did it for me a few years back. It’s possible in OneNote, and clunky as hell.

I was sold the moment I read links can be wiki style in Obsidian.

I love lamp?

There is a fairly misunderstood tax rule which lets US persons working abroad for more than 330 days per year to exclude a reasonably large chunk of income: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion

LoFi Girl if you’re looking for real downtempo background noise. Lived on it when I was doing Uni.

If you’re the patient and organized type, you can download their entire library from their main site. The advantage here is that the livestream gets a little repetitive after a while.

Been listening to Soma.fm for a long time. Groove Salad and Indie Pop Rocks. Sometimes they play really strange stuff on one or the other, so that’s about when I will switch channels.

Just needs a straw attachment…

“I’m being evaluated for terminal cancer. I’m gonna have a great time.”

They’ll regex those bug reports so fast it won’t even matter.

If you stop paying attention entirely

This is the part which normalization works to accelerate. Every message is crafted to rally supporters and repulse opponents; enough to get one to tune out and stop paying attention. Do it long enough and whatever they want to do will be done without any scrutiny.

This is one of the reasons the consolidation of mainstream independent media is a serious problem.

Surgery.

Why? Because I’m a surgeon.

There are plenty of “compromised antenna” options for you; there are loads of amateur operators who simply run their antenna around the largest room in their apartment and make long-range communications. It’s not optimal, but it works.

There’s a whole movement in amateur radio right now which relies on being light and portable. A 15 meter carbon fiber mast, some wire, 12v and 100W and you can work the world from a park.

I need some vodka to deal with this
