You have a better financial situation for sure, and if you strive for wisdom you can become a wiser parent, but you also still have the same number of years of life.<br/><br/>Someone who has kids at 20 might have their kids reach adulthood when they&#39;re 40, reach middle-age when they&#39;re 60, and be retired when they&#39;re 80.<br/><br/>If you have kids at 40, then they&#39;re going to reach adulthood when you&#39;re 60, middle age when you&#39;re 80.<br/><br/>That&#39;s a lot.

It can mean the difference between watching their kids or not being able to.<br/><br/>You can&#39;t have it all. Every choice is a trade-off, you&#39;re giving up something.

Choose to have kids later, there&#39;s a trade-off.<br/><br/>It makes sense then, that these companies would ask you to make the trade-offs that primarily benefit them. 2026-10-13T00:23:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxc2vjdmdplzg9nvcmmnuqr6avfq3z5h9hyylvm5eghferhwllr6szyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5r7qy9u By new Executive Order, Artificial Intelligence shall henceforth be known as American Intelligence. 2026-10-08T23:16:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0l0ddljt3k4vkphn70dvneh2ctv93den98m3l36z0exdysfm3ngqzyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5dwx4um The renaming of places to America will continue until morale improves. <br/><br/>There are 15 places called London in the US -- potentially 15 places that can be renamed America. <br/><br/>22 places called Paris in the US -- potentially 22 more places that can be renamed America.<br/><br/>Then we move onto Berlin, Moscow, Rome, Athens, and Dublin.

Nobody says she&#39;s there on behalf of anyone. Nobody says there is a deal. Nobody even says there is anything unusual going on. Suddenly, the toilet industry gets huge concessions.<br/><br/>&#34;Oh, but he would have to report that.&#34;<br/><br/>Report what? A girl showing up at his room? There is no code of ethics under which you have to report every time you encounter a girl unless it is somehow connected to your official duties, and we just established that everyone involved says it isn&#39;t.<br/><br/>This is the modernist problem in miniature. You focus on money because money is countable, measurable, objective, and therefore controllable. But eliminate the measurable form of power and you have not necessarily eliminated power. You may have just pushed it into favors, access, sex, status, jobs, prestige, protection, relationships, and other things that are subjective, indirect, and extremely difficult to measure.<br/><br/>Doesn&#39;t mean you can&#39;t try to reduce corruption, it just means you&#39;re going to need to stop thinking like that modernist I&#39;m criticizing to accomplish it.<br/><br/>And this is also why the one world government a lot of people think they want makes me nervous. They think it&#39;ll improve things, maybe because they imagine such a government doing what they want it to do. But what if you get your one world government and it becomes the one world empire under Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin?<br/><br/>The more power you put in one place, the more valuable it becomes to corrupt even a tiny piece of it. A government with authority over the entire world would control decisions affecting tens of trillions of dollars in economic activity. Capture a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of those decisions and you can make a fortune, potentially over and over again. And this is hardly a problem unique to capitalism: historically, wherever governments have concentrated enough power, people close to that power have found ways to turn access, favor, office, protection, and privilege into wealth.<br/><br/>Imperial China provides an old example of the same phenomenon. Its political culture often treated merchants as socially inferior to scholar-officials, but that did not make the competition for wealth and power disappear. It redirected ambition toward the bureaucracy. Wealthy families poured resources into educating their sons for the imperial examinations, because entry into the governing class brought status, influence, and opportunities that mere commercial success could not. The market for power had not disappeared; people had simply learned to buy into it with education, connections, and years of preparation instead of treating private enterprise as the only route upward.<br/><br/>Banning the obvious ways of buying influence does not remove the incentive to buy influence. It just changes what people use to pay. 2026-08-18T13:03:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst2zk2gnmtacl2a9qfu42cy4mz9m79450cal0m7fyszxkqghrtk8gzyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5h8xawl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2yauupfmetpded7q0zw0s22erhfzgc0f45x7z4v59cseqms67fpcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q6c8r7k'>nevent1q…8r7k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;All cops are bastards!

In it, people are free to sell their labor for wages to whoever they decide to rather than being directed by central planners, and prices are set by markets and negotiation, not by the state. But most people don&#39;t see that as a major problem -- When someone hires someone to do their lawn, or buys groceries with money they earned, or when they can save up for something they want, or if they save money and take a risk starting a new business or building a new invention hoping to make it big, that&#39;s considered at worst neutral. It&#39;s important to understand that pure capitalism really doesn&#39;t exist anywhere, so everywhere is a spectrum -- The United States is more capitalist than the Soviet Union was, but is considerably less capitalist than it was in the late 1800s when the state made up a single digit percentage of GDP.<br/><br/>Some examples of things that aren&#39;t inherently capitalist which commies like to blame on capitalism:<br/><br/>-State corruption<br/>-Regulatory capture<br/>-Corporate welfare and bailouts<br/>-State-created monopolies<br/>-Inflation caused by central banks<br/>-Police brutality and prison abuse<br/>-War and imperialism<br/>-Human Greed<br/>-Hierarchy<br/>-Scarcity<br/>-Pollution (Ask Kazakhstan how ecologically friendly the Soviet Union was to their region)<br/>-Cronyism<br/>-Bureaucratic alienation<br/>-Consumer stupidity or status competition<br/>-Poor conditions for the common man caused by state policy<br/>-Unequal political power<br/><br/>Most of these things are either inherent to the nature of reality, or human nature, or the product of the state, not inherent to capitalism, not unique to capitalism, or not generated by capitalism alone. Therefore, eliminating capitalism will never fully eliminate these things. Things like human nature or the laws of conservation of mass or energy or finite linear time will always exist driving scarcity. A group of chickens with no concept of trade whatsoever will establish hierarchies and use violence to that end. Most of human history had limited markets and very powerful states that still had greed, pollution, cronyism, and corruption.<br/><br/>In a sense, it&#39;s like the counterpoint to the old phrase &#34;Nobody got fired for choosing IBM&#34; -- if back then you stuck your neck out and chose something other than IBM, you&#39;d be blamed for every problem that occurred because you didn&#39;t choose IBM, even if those problems weren&#39;t unique to the system you chose and perhaps would have existed if you chose IBM anyway. In the same way, under capitalism, every problem ends up blamed on capitalism, even things that would exist under virtually any other system because of human nature and the laws of physics.<br/><br/>That broader definition has two effects. First, it allows problems rooted in scarcity, human nature, state power, political corruption and large-scale organization to be attributed to capitalism merely because they occur within a capitalist society. Second, it allows the abolition of capitalism to be presented as a cure for the entire bundle. If &#34;capitalism&#34; is defined broadly enough to include nearly every harmful feature of modern life, then eliminating it would indeed sound utopian. But eliminating private ownership, open markets and negotiated exchange would not eliminate scarcity, ambition, hierarchy, corruption, coercion or political favoritism. It would merely change the institutions through which those problems appear.<br/><br/>I was thinking about Ivan the Terrible. His reign was not capitalist, but he had entire cities of his own people sacked. Why? Because he was terrified of losing power, or more accurately, of being assassinated by people. Such people won&#39;t go away under a socialist government, they&#39;ll be given more power under socialism than under a more laisse faire government under capitalism. Nominally communist countries right now conduct purges in power games where individuals or groups of individuals are murdered to help the powerful get more powerful. Having another group of elites in the market players won&#39;t change that. Ironically, having competition between the groups of elites may (but also may not -- sometimes the common man is caught in the crossfire, or is divvied up as a resource to be consumed, regardless of who those elites are)<br/><br/>Related to my soon to be published next book, it is a modernist conception that you can describe the entire world through exactly one viewpoint that can place everything into one system. We do need the government, and we do need God, and we do need markets, and we do need families, and we do need communities, and we do need private societies, and probably a lot more things. Only in a world where many things can exist and bump against each other can the individual hope to have some liberty to pursue happiness. 2026-08-05T14:06:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy76y3ta20y22m25ycqmqauhp25xrq39z7wa0q5vrfk4365s2srpqzyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5k60z7y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrtjf43ygmnqdq35ywapsa3q07p5qxzg0mwp5386q4aqs3d925nkgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qly9l5p'>nevent1q…9l5p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t know why but suddenly I feel like diversity is my strength... 2026-08-04T14:49:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgrxupvy5hsdg4xz7n83ns0jwazzl4nj7h7jwckxzvq863wx5rq4czyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5curfux For what might be the first time ever, I heard sound come out of my headphone jack on Haiku on my celeron Chromebook.<br/><br/>I considered success to be 3 things working when I first started my project to get Haiku running on this old Chromebook:<br/><br/>1.

One of the things I&#39;ve added to that test platform is checking if the instance is defederated from us so we won&#39;t waste time trying to talk to someone who isn&#39;t listening, and making sure instance and user blocks to groups are detected and expressed to our users.<br/><br/>Defederation is annoying, but it&#39;s at least preferable that we know so we stop trying to knock on a door that&#39;ll never open. 2026-07-14T16:00:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2w64jcexe6ufhds56s7ksstcgpd6k362f5ytr4nxdj4fjswttvaszyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5uk640s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp03cutspsjk085wwxpl3q9p50spk9cgm5pzqn8ce5tp2plgfra6gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qmkjtrt'>nevent1q…jtrt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It seems odd to me that people who travel to a place they&#39;re not from and start trying to make it the way they want it to be complaining about colonizing. 2026-07-14T12:02:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv3janvs4x5r9vggwrwsxncce7xsxgyq694kjj5qzef8z025nvd8qzyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk52wxycy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswn546eg36kzj8daz2xpsyzc9kztrh72lakk5ze5nrx0pvd80asvgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q7u0dft'>nevent1q…0dft</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The Knowable notable knot index, no?<br/><br/>Not for non-knowable notable knots;<br/><br/>not for knowable non-notable knots;<br/><br/>and certainly not for knowable notable non-knots, no no no! 2026-07-14T12:00:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8hq2js3aeqkhvmllt75vvwqk9dptdgxf9crnuq34l7xlcmld5lgszyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk59xsxg9 Wait, the head guy from Flashpoint played Mathesar from Galaxy Quest?<br/><br/> <img src="https://social.fbxl.net/media/61/35/0d/61350d8747928bd6afdaa2440957d23b80f81b9dc0cfd9c7b84061e2d3f697f2.png"> <br/> <img src="https://social.fbxl.net/media/d3/15/a3/d315a3dea949583b8aa6f9b3542abeb54c3a3235ffb5288e2edda4e0ff171022.png"> 2026-07-14T11:47:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsptvu740vj63wm43q0qfa8s7n94zauf63z9dcfh2yg0z62g36k0dszyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5dyeg05 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspurpz3nyfzmredgngxw3g369aacn7j0cjjf3vg42t398g7dxlnsspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q8nf8n9'>nevent1q…f8n9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Whenever redditors pretend to be your moral superiors you have to remember... 2026-07-14T08:02:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf7aa4p5pnr62ft8reaa93mlqrlp3vhtegd26gp49urqh7w7wpawgzyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk50tyg7k In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxeefj50xwclt0y3cmlqd5atksj7t0l94mlmaqdv53cr9tg87t40cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qnrlxtd'>nevent1q…lxtd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you&#39;re not getting your moral lessons directly from Harvey Weinstein, you&#39;re basically not a moral person. 2026-07-14T04:40:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqj90wc4eze4j5zgh668mz3my6w7yf9yu2aa50jrwpj0s26e9e9dqzyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5mvs6sv [Admin Mode] FBXL Social&#39;s new post export/import feature might be the first of its kind, and it covers a common request on the fediverse: &#34;Hey, can I move my account&#39;s posts if I move servers?

I think depending on the specifics, that&#39;s something you could probably apprentice in.

I&#39;ve also been focusing a lot on making sure all the pleroma upstream work makes it back, as well as great ideas from other platforms like misskey or mastodon proper.<br/><br/>One of the new features I added was groups support, with a focus on lotide, lemmy, mbin, and piefed, but we&#39;ve done some friendly testing on many groups platforms including things like peertube. The messages you saw were me finally doing testing across the Internet between different platforms -- lotide, lemmy at hilariouschaos, and here.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve followed and unfollowed different communities on a lot of group or feed platforms without issues, sent likes or removed likes, and posted comments, but this is the first time I&#39;ve had those different platforms follow a group hosted on fbxl social, and so there was a lot of noise because lemmy and lotide expect much different things than pleroma/rebased initially provided. It&#39;s all activitypub, but the ways it&#39;s used are very different between the different platforms, so you have to watch your logs and figure out why something didn&#39;t federate. 2026-07-04T15:18:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr9twvxh8zrlu6kce70e37e8w4ufrnugxxg3rqpwxva96tzf3ksqczyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk53yz3nj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst7kxaxrvuccw2ymtuyhj7mdazq43lz6rnx0cm7aandyh46v3fyjgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43quthran'>nevent1q…hran</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They tried the whole &#34;we should prevent disinformation and misinformation&#34; but that was obviously bunk, so they hit the &#34;won&#39;t someone think of the children&#34; button. 2026-07-03T02:30:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfc7sjfyfy5djhwhpp5gagrdcvxkvae725g496ge9azlv2nnjy70szyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk57wpky4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvmmcy993pzhrdw2pr3xamxectfgde3q0asudwzh7vkar6uvxuh4cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qxyst87'>nevent1q…st87</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m using unfathomably, it&#39;s a fork of rebased I&#39;m working on focused stability and compatibility.

I found there&#39;s a FOSS realtime operating system called NuttX that you can run on it, and I&#39;ve been working on getting FreeBASIC to run on it. I also grabbed an ESP32-P4 board because it&#39;s a similar device but with 32MB of RAM and a minimal but real video chip, as well as a physical Ethernet port.<br/><br/>I haven&#39;t gotten USB or HDMI support working yet, but the actual programming language runs perfectly, and passes all the internal compiler tests as well as the exampleageddon test (about 600 included examples that don&#39;t use external libraries or require graphics, sound, or input), and I haven&#39;t tested it yet on physical hardware but I believe the gpio pins are working correctly with a quick and dirty library I set up. This includes contemporary features like object oriented programming and threading as well as the simple stuff like adding two numbers together, which is nuts.<br/><br/>Feels really bizarre having a full fat basic that runs on a 10 dollar microcontroller. 2026-07-02T09:47:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2z6mr5utfcua2dxamwf3gamgt5vr349wcqumr0hlm4qtcg3r07xczyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5qx4zwd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgpslmj3qran2e06jvhunyhce3fdewknwuv4wqcp7a3ydmjl5sl3gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qs3jqc6'>nevent1q…jqc6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Can&#39;t win in the msm 2026-07-01T20:47:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspaqat5tx9d6kglum2tqc68jw5y7w5g574yq0audk3skq2ywylmkczyrwxk9eeehdn50xkx4h5zkgxgnz5zkdjng99dza7xtx2n74t52zk5aknysx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsveq635kjrahzvlj3ec22a6zfn7m9ya5qyfhepqzqhtv6s0ag9ykgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qyzymcw'>nevent1q…ymcw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Do these websites not have editors?
