  • Year 1: Eliminate Food and Water poverty.

    Year 2: Porn is legalized everywhere, and there’s a world government official porn site that’s always free. Free smartphones for everyone as well.

    Year 3: Universal Housing and sewage.

    Year 4: Sex work is legalized everywhere (this might be popular enough to coast you an extra year) and ensured to be safe for the sex workers.

    Year 5: Universal Child care

    Year 6: Drugs are legalized everywhere

    Year 7: Universal Elderly care (+ free healthcare for the USA weirdo country)

    Year 8: Universal Education and media translation to top 10 most spoken languages. Also the top media franchises of each existing country will be freely available online now as well in a “cultural digital vault”.

    Year 9: Eliminate country borders, issue new universal passport, set up new cultural ethnic / geographical regions instead that exist only to help with political and business management. Begin 5 year disposable plastics phase out (medical exception though), eliminate plastics and pseudoplastics from foods and cosmetics, Worldwide public transportation system + Continental Hypertrain System project. Set up a world government that can only be compromised of elected STEM degree holders that have a job in their role, and bars anyone that has ever owned / owned a company or worked in any petroleum based industry. Esperanto is also more the official world government language, Linux and FOSS official world government software usage, and lawyers can now only work under the government for fixed rate. Everyone has access to a lawyer by right. These foundational laws cannot be changed.

    Also announce I have been contacted by extraterrestrial life, and was told they will greet us if we survive the great filter and set up solar system wide travel and infrastructure as a species. Oh, and limit wealth/assets to be no higher than 200 million euros equivalent (inflation adjusted) worth. There will be a new currency set up as well.

    Year 10: Announce I’m “retiring” from direct rule but will intervene if 57% of the world votes for me to enact something. Die probably. If the alien and world government gambit does pay off, maybe coast off previous popularity for a couple years and just have fun until summoned or dead.










  • Here you go, gen z* version:

    So, this one time, Jesus was walking through the village again, right? A kid ran up and accidentally bumped into him, like full-on shoulder check. Jesus was not having it and straight-up said, “You’re not gonna make it to wherever you’re headed.” Boom, the kid dropped dead. People who saw it were like, “Yo, who even is this kid? Everything he says actually happens!”

    The dead kid’s parents came for Joseph, all mad, saying, “Bruh, you can’t stay in this village if your kid’s out here cursing people and getting them killed. Like, teach him to chill and bless people or something!”

    So Joseph pulled Jesus aside, like, “Hey dude, why are you doing this? People are mad at us, and they’re gonna come for us!” But Jesus was like, “I know you didn’t come up with that yourself, but fine, I’ll let it slide for you. Still, these people? They’re gonna get what’s coming to them.” And just like that, the people accusing him went blind.









  • Should clarify: I meant the IoT LTSC version of Windows. It gets support for much longer too, since it sounded like you reinstalled Windows anyway. Plus games and RAM heavy software work snappier on those cleaner, more minimal versions of Windows. It made a difference even on my 7.5k water cooled desktop. You’d think 128gb of DDR5 RAM, 7900x3D, 3090 computer wouldn’t have any slow down, but base Windows is REALLY bloated - enough that even at those specs you can notice a difference on a gen 5 m.2 ssd. I still use Windows for some modded games and a specific audio program. Oh, and CAD software.

    Same with my girlfriend’s 2k gaming laptop. Startup and such is way faster now.

    Plus no telemetry or ads as a bonus of course.



  • I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.

    Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.

    Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must’ve never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).

    Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.

    Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there’s not much AC in Finland for the summer…

    The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.
