Terminating ethernet is so finicky. Worth it, but such a pain!
The next time somebody argues "what about property?" WRT protests, remind them that destruction of property will lead to the rebuilding property, which create jobs. Therefore, protests are good for the economy. Then ask "Why do you hate the economy?!"
Seems legit to me!
Death Note is quite the ride. Also funny that it seems like Dragonball Super ripped off the concepts of false gods dishing out absolute justice. Never would've expected that.

Some relaxing evening music.
Come enjoy some Super Mario World 11-exit with us tonight!
Surprised, but I ended up working away at this Game of Life app this week. Ugly AF right now, but getting somewhere. Not shown: editor to create games. More to come on that. Made with #fsharp, #avalonia and #avalonia_funcui.
A very simple Conway's Game of Life in #fsharp https://github.com/pseudoramble/conways-game-of-life. RIP.

← i don't know what sort of healthcare system the u.s. should have (because even countries that are praised for their "free" or "single-payer" systems often have more complicated systems instead), but clearly y'all deserve better than _that_.
Oddly satisfying. https://www.bouncingdvdlogo.com

sorry, I do not make the rules
In today's episode of Life During Isolation, it's been interesting to see normies start to learn what video/voice/text chats are. Unaware you're supposed to be muted while talking shit, leaving cameras on while you're making lunch, on and on. This is like tech/corporate life 101 stuff.
We really are in a bubble all of our own! Welcome, though.

These are out of control. Wow.

Anyway, to lighten the mood, here's a dank Jojo me-me. #jojo

Maybe just don't prepare at all and let the fallout happen? No because our society depends on the economy which doesn't prepare for downturns.
Some degree of planning should be done. Right? Anything at all?
covid19, usa, recession
Develop a social safety net? No because too much taxation and everyone needs to spend more.
Companies required to develop reserves? No because companies need to deliver for shareholders always and now, future be damned for some reason.
Individuals develop their own reserves? No because individuals need to spend as much as possible, and salaries need to be minimized to maximize profits for companies.
