-i’m about a week into fermenting a jar of garlic and boy it is POTENT. Prego wifu is not stoked
-set up my first linux machine today (debian on dad’s old thinkpad). May try hermes or openclaw or something. Upgraded 6 gb HDD to 1 tb SSD and getting 16 gb RAM to replace the 4 gb tomorrow. 32 would’ve been an krder of magnitude more expensive for some reason
-still laid off by mf jack and have very little hope most days but staying busy/active, and there’s still time 🙏

Just had a little chat with my boy claude
Tldr
“Conscientious objectors can legally refuse military service on moral grounds, but that protection doesn’t extend to paying taxes — even though taxes fund the military. Courts draw a firm line between direct participation and indirect funding, prioritizing a uniform tax system over individual conscience. The philosophical argument that tax equals war complicity is logically coherent but legally rejected. This creates a strange paradox at the heart of liberal democracy: your conscience is protected when it’s visible and direct, but ignored when it’s structural and collective. Thinkers from Thoreau to modern anarchists have agreed — yes, that’s a genuine ethical contradiction.“
Basically the entire system is unethical. So pay your taxes anyway. Got it
