I've used it for simple tasks for coding because ultimately I'm not a coder and don't really want to be but I needed something scripted and no real humans were interested in helping.

Writing code is openly torturous and I would really really rather not.

Rosalina. She resonates extremely strongly with me. She's genuinely how I'd love to look and stuff. Being pretty is cool, and she is massive and I love that. She's a 7'3" space queen.

I had to do some digging to find out what the things I like are actually called.

Frutiger Aero, Cassette Futurism, Japanese Urbanism, Picturesque Landscape, Analog Futurism

Yeah but humanity used a LOT of coal and oil already. I think making electricity ubiquitous would be a better idea. I want to abort big oil as an industry before it can be conceived.

Midgley is a person sitting on top of a technological trajectory, not the trajectory itself.

Even if Midgley never existed, someone else was probably going to pursue antiknock additives, leaded gasoline, refrigeration chemistry, etc. You might prevent Midgley's particular disasters, but you haven't fundamentally altered the industrial system that makes them attractive. You gotta do that or someone else is just gonna figure it out.

Eliminating Midgley is too narrow compared with changing the economics of energy.

Coal was already an enormous industrial fuel before Midgley was born. Oil was already becoming important.

I would go to March 1886, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and I would seek out William Stanley Jr.

Stanley had already built the first practical transformer and was demonstrating a complete high voltage AC transmission system. In 1886, his system transmitted electricity along Main Street and stepped it down for individual businesses. This was one of the critical technological foundations of the modern electric grid.

From there, I give him the conceptual roadmap for the electrical civilization that follows his work. I know enough about how modern renewables work to give him some good ideas. Oh and involving Westinghouse would be important and pretty much inevitable. This would be easier if I could prepare like, a binder, but I could still potentially help with just what I happen to know.

The goal is to go back when petrochemicals as an industry were still weak enough to be slain. If I were successful it would be one of the most outsized positive impacts I could have on the course of human history.

Well giving it has a bed I would personally lump it in with trucks such as it is.

Does A Hat In Time's "Murder on the owl express" count?

Well he just kind of lives his life one impeachable offense to the next and individuals able to hold him accountable have yet to do anything about it.

Well that's a whole other kettle of fish

The amount of references to Christianity in random pieces of media makes me want to crash out God damn America cult

I'm tempted to just start carrying a big roll of smiley face stickers and put one over the lens of any cameras I come across.

I mean I've been in the back of a McDonald's before. I can see a little bit of sleight of hand getting a few extra nuggets in a box here or there but I'm having a harder time visualizing how the fuck you would manage to pull your pants down and stick your willy in it. Additionally you would have milkshake all over your cock and it probably wouldn't be very pleasant. I really just struggle to envision how the fuck you would get away with doing that even one time given how much of a slave drive working at McDonald's is.
