Weird how all the evil uber rich are outside the states.

I was having this train of thought listening to the recent season of blowback. Thinking about how all these movements need a flow of cash to really get things working.

I was sorta day dreaming about coming up with some billion dollar idea then just flooding mutual aid groups with cash that could get people floating enough to start wide spread education and organization.

I know too much money can hurt orgs too. I just feel like we need some genuine foundation with average folks getting on board.

This is probably a terrible idea for dozens of reasons but I cant help but think about it. I don’t even smoke anymore.

Weed camps.

The shut-ins are dealing with crippling social anxiety and depression. Gather them in a place where sharing is caring, loosening up and passing the blunt in a circle. A no-pressure zone where they can connect with others and vibe without expectations.

But it’s south korea so they’d probably sooner have all these kids commit suicide first.

I once found myself in the possession of a vintage arcade machine with a big CRT that made it super top heavy. I moved it around a few places but the worst was getting it down a really tight staircase.

I ended up just leaving it there but the landlord was cool about nearly everything and was fine with it because he loved that game back in the day and was happy for it to stick around.

I really feel like this is going too far on the contrarian end.

Yes foster care and care homes are bad, but I don’t think one should pretend that a child growing up in a dual meth-parent household is growing up in a safe and healthy environment.

The kid could be a lot better off with a grandparent, aunt, or uncle. The shit part is you don’t know until things are in motion.

That child is not in a good position and i think pretending like they are is the “own the chuds” equivalent to burning your shoes because a gay person wore a similar pair.

Small front wheel + standing position makes them very vulnerable to hitting tiny obstacles and sending the rider over the bars head first into something typically hard and unmovable.

Bicycles on the other hand have a much larger front wheel typically and can roll over obstacles that would take out a scooter operator.

I think there was a tony hawk down hill game that made extensive use of them for leaning.
