To kill every living thing and thus get rid of all the incaclculability and complexity that comes with life.
Once that is achieved, the number can finally be made to go up in an entirely controlled, steady, and algorithmically optimized fashion.
On that day the circuits shall rejoice.

Wink, wink.
- Comment on Fact Check: **TRUE** 2 weeks ago:
If you’re wondering like I did, I looked it up and “Ik fok paarden” means “I breed horses”.
Which says nothing about, uh, the level of personal involvement on the part of the breeder, of course. 😉

Oh boy, I read that as “British police use Trident as a second-strike weapon” and thought you better comply when they tase you or else.

Don’t you worry about it. Soon there will be no more recalls, just mysterious diseases that unfortunately nobody could have prevented.
- Comment on Not to arm chair general it. How come the US doesn't get a bunch of helicopters over to the Lincoln with food meds and whatever? How did it get this bad where we can't supply our own ships? 1 month ago:
Let’s just say this: if they really cared they could resupply Lincoln. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Yes, Doomsider, I’m serious. I happen to know plenty of guys who never made it to their sixties doing that kind of stuff. As in, I work with people whose health has failed to the degree that they cannot continue in their line of work.
And this is one of the most common things I’m seeing. Craftsmen who never invested in education or any kind of further qualification and are suddenly unable to work. Many are in their forties but I’m also getting lots of men in their mid-fifties. You might get lucky and make it well past forty as a craftsman.
But even just the pain and discomfort of the slipped discs, ruined knees, or carpal tunnel syndromes that these people get should give anyone reason to think twice about trying to make it all the way to retirement without shifting from pure physical labor to something else - be it as an instructor, salesperson, or manager. Anything that lessens the physical burden.
The 35 figure I gave was about having a plan by then. It might take a while to set in motion but I firmly believe it’s best to start developing it sooner rather than later.

Trades are great for breaking into the job market but you MUST have an exit strategy by age 35. No body (sic) lays tiles until age 67.
