I've heard this story before, it's not a new incident. It's also getting a lot of coverage from lots of media.

’May you live in interesting times’ is the worst thing one can wish on a citizen of Discworld, especially on the distinctly unmagical Rincewind, who has had far too much perilous excitement in his life and can’t even spell wizard.

That's not a silly thing though. Pretty much all jobs are temporary.

I'm at an MSP that services quite a few school districts. We lose techs to them somewhat regularly.

Utopias are inherently dystopian in they only work when everyone wants the same things and everyone is bound by strict rules. There is no such thing as a utopia.

This is far from boring. It's terrifying.

Finding the correct bolt size, thread pitch, material, and trusting that when I order grade 8 bolts, I'm actually getting grade 8 makes Amazon quite a pain in the ass.

If it's something I don't care too much about, yea Amazon is fine. But when I want to trust my life to it or it's going to take some serious stress I'm going to want McMaster.

Break up monopolies.

Healthcare.

Enforce fairness and ethical journalism.

Regulate social media. (Influencers, advertisements, disinformation.)

Not super scary unless your from the area. But there is a prison by me where back in the 80s, a man named Kevin Cooper escaped. He made his was over to a house a couple miles away and broke inside.

He killed the two parents there, one of their children, and another child that was there for a sleep over with an axe. He tried to kill another 9 year old child there as well, but they survived.

A true life actual axe murderer.

For me, it's an expression of a particular set of my creativity. The decorations, the show element of it, engaging in various fantasy worlds and dressing up.

It's just fun, and freedom to have fun doing whatever you like!
