The greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the ripe age - oh excuse me - the old age, of 36!
Thanks, eating some peanut noodles I made using my extra potent cannabis infused peanut sauce, it's tasty and I'll be stoned as fuck within the hour
Then when I get the munchies I have 2/3 of a leftover pizza that I will heat up a quarter at a time so I can eat the whole thing hot
Once I realised that prince Andrews story is the mirror of Draculas if Dracula got away back to his castle at the end I decided to just accept that geopolitically I'm the peasant who lives in the shadow of Castle Dracula
Dracula leaves the feudal land where he was lord and master to go to Britain which is a more modern country. At the end he flees people hunting him in England back to his castle but is caught on the way
prince Andrew is similarly a monster of the old world came trepassing into the new world when he went to America, however unlike Dracula he successfully fled to his homeland where he is untouchable.
also you should read dracula it is good and surprisingly feminist
Weird how so many billionaires entertain fantasies of escaping to unassailable estates underground, out at sea, or up in space, isn't it? :thinkin-lenin:
If you're looking for modern problems to suffer through, there's some monkey jpgs to invest your money in
You don't actually have to invest. They're gonna find a way to make those a very real problem even for people who didn't invest, because capitalism breeds innovation.

Crypto grifts are dumping that much more carbon into the air, so that's already happening. :elmofire:
True, but I suspect they will also find some way for those individual monkey pictures to hurt me more personally and directly.
Maybe they'll make NFTs or something like them into a LinkedIn grift where you are expected to have a monkey jpeg to have a job :so-true:
If we can get :melon-musk: to switch his :curry-space: starlink to mine :cryptocurrency: TeslaCoin......
didn't the dutch do basically the same thing with tulips in the 1600's
Horseless carriages , poured full of the putrid ichor known as gasoline
Legend speak of the beast's name, Tesla, the cursed one, the fiery one, the one that belches poison and flame that no water may put out
Those are not "problems" those are existential threats we individually are powerless against
I want Late Modernity Problems, not Early Modernity Problems!
If it was the 1600s you were probably getting eggs from your own chickens and when they died from an avian flu like is going around now you would probably blame a witch and burn the 34 year old widow down the street at the stake.
actually most of the English witchtrials in the 1600s were by order of King James so it was the government coming in and torturing confessions about of people because the king worried that rural poverty might lead people to be tempted by the devil.
If you're wondering why he didn't just help with the poverty you must remember the crucial fact about James the 1st is that he was a dick.
The rising price of eggs have legitimately made my life so much worse. I can't bake and 80% of my breakfasts are out the window.
On the flip side, at least my meat substitutes are still cheap but I haven't found a veg substitute for the egg nutritionally.
