Happy birthday. I turned 40 this week too. Yay us.

I want complete control of my technology after I buy it. I don’t want my phone to assume things that I like based on my input. If something goes wrong, I want it to be my fault because I enabled the wrong setting. I also want physical buttons. I miss those so much.

Japan has pretty strict gun control, don’t they?

That’s right! They’re better off spending it on lobbying so they end up getting more money!

I wear a capelet in winter and it doesn’t work well with my backpack. I suppose I could design a front wearing pack to carry my laptop.

I’m not American, and just wondering if it’s a requirement to have the $600/m taken from your pay, which I’m assuming is for health insurance? That’s a crazy amount to throw away every year, especially if you still have to pay extra for treatments that you need for functioning.

So, how do we engineer a situation in which the richest suffer most? End of capitalism?

Rain is no problem for me. It feels kind of liberating.

Snow… I’ve never ridden in snow. I propose dog sledding as a substitute.

The Mitchells vs the machines did it best. It was a great and entertaining story and I loved all the characters. Perhaps Disney should just make a story that’s worth telling?

Does your dad believe that we can continue with our current rate of emissions and waste without consequence though? Maybe it’s worth discussing from an environmentalist point of view rather than climate change specifically. Perhaps the phrase has become taboo for him.

If you’re forced to use a car to get to and from work in the inner city, you can blame your government and lobbyists. If you’re rural, it makes sense to use private transport, though I highly doubt it’ll be a Tesla.

EVs are the biggest load of green wash ever and on par with ‘clean coal’. They still use roads and carparks which are environmental waste lands, they also need power to run and their manufacturing and distribution process is definitely not environmentally friendly.

Not to mention that their CEO actively campaigned against public transport in a bid to sell more cars…

Welcome to crony capitalism
