Did this work? I would like to say hello to you!

Hello to you, my dear friend! Sending all my love to you both for a Shana Tova!

Asked Claude to implement a game based on a text quest book I played in 90s. Let’s see. Tried to play the original text, downloaded epub. Well, I died after 3 minutes in the game.

Been working on website marketing materials this morning. About to dig into some work. If 'variety is the spice of life', my job is Cajun seasoning.

The rho coding harness I’ve made has come along way and I’m constantly trying to evolve it, but whenever I go back to pi it’s startling the difference of what a solid computer science background brings.

I think more than 50% of our economy's businesses, are cosplaying. Not in it for customers or profit; in it for investors and investments. "Looking like a business", as your real line of work.

Influencing, OnlyFans, sports betting, prediction markets. Gambling is fast becoming the American way of life.

"Financial nihilism" is the keyword

replied to:

I've never thought of something like OF as gambling. But I guess your point is that young adults are pushed to a lot of "you have a 0.1% chance of hitting it big and a 99.9% chance of getting no online traction at all" types of careers?

replied to:

Yeah, no point in investing in yourself or a real sustainable long-term future, just gamble the little you have for a shot at life above the line. Barbell economy.

I know many small business owners, and a clear majority do have investors, whether spouse, parents, or a small business loan. Easily more than 50% never make a profit. I know a woman who ran a clothing retail store for over a decade, who was never able to pay herself a dime. When the pandemic hit, everyone closed, but the ones who actually needed the business to pay their bills opened up as soon as it was allowed or shortly thereafter. Many took years. They are cosplaying.

replied to:

a business loan is not an investment, it is debt financing that pays back with interest. An investment means putting money into a company to gain ownership or a share of future profits. to me it feels like youre arguing against cosplaying, showing small businesses struggle and arent just playing boss for the funzies.
