Weapon idea: a retro-causality pistol, loaded with bullets made of justification. When you fire it at someone, it changes history to provide a reason for you to have shot them.

Finally, you've killed the man who murdered your wife. But was she dead before you pulled the trigger? You will never know.

I don't think I was even married before I shot them. I probably shouldn't tell my kids that they're just a metacausal byproduct of finding an excuse to shoot someone; that's a hell of an existential crisis to inflict on a child.

You, you get it!

The one that keeps me up at night was the time I shot the guy and nothing changed. WHAT DO I NOT KNOW?

i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it's common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i'm starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that's what it's built for. but nowadays we don't think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don't keep address books anymore because it's all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it's all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you're still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.

i am so violently sick of advertising. its everywhere it creeps into every inch of reality that it physically can theres no escape from how invasive it is. cant even rickroll people anymore because theyll just get a 30 second advert for car insurance

firefox isnt going to save you from billboards radio advertising loud promotions blared over the supermarket speakers posters slapped over every streetlight every flier shoved in your mailbox or every cafe that uses spotify for their music and has an ad for its premium service playing every other track.

adblocks are nice but they dont fix the wider issue which is the pervasiveness of advertising

if i see another person on this post talk like im a sad oblivious fool for not knowing of the joys of firefox and adblock im going to need them to step outside of the house for once and observe the the world around them and how advertising has infected everything it feasibly can. if you think youtube ads are the sole issue here then i would recommend leaving the house.
