That’s what you get for trying to have a real life.

The concept is wonderful. I do not trust Elon with that concept. I worry that many folks with high hopes of this helping them will just end up used and hurt.

According to that site, Napster pays more. Here’s the info on TIDAL:

I use Napster. I chose it way back when Spotify paid for the Rogan podcast, from a list of platforms that pay artists more. I’m not sure if that’s true any longer, but look it up! I’ve been really happy with their service. (And it’s really full circle for me, since I used their original service decades ago.)

ETA I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this site, but it says Napster is still one of the top-paying platforms.

It was apparently before the college campus protests. I wonder what he thinks about those.

Maybe we would finally get prison reform, then

I think you’re confusing a wealth tax with an income tax. They’re different. As for how these wealthy people pay, it’s not up to the government to figure out how someone pays their taxes. The onus is on the taxpayer.

Gun control, now

“The government” doesn’t want to argue that. Some idiot politicians do.

I had an Angel fire site

Seriously!! I don’t mind the frequency so much as the absolute SHIT they’re serving up. Conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. I’ve been skipping some of my favorite creators because I just don’t have the emotional wherewithal to deal with the bullshit every five minutes. It is truly enraging.

I also got a Nebula subscription. It’s not perfect, and I wish more of the people I follow were on there, but it helps so much, mentally. I don’t have to see crappy ads I didn’t sign up for, or feel guilty for using an ad blocker, because the people I follow are getting paid through the subscription.

I wanted to be her, actually.

Yes, Angelfire!! My first website was there. It was ✨ sparkly✨ and quite lovely. 😂 I only ever see people talk about Live Journal nowadays, which I think was after my time.

I hate massages while they’re happening. They hurt like hell. But then afterward, my back is golden for weeks, so it’s worth it. I just have to endure!

Against the Storm. I can pick it up whenever I have a free minute, and pause it or save and quit when I need to be doing something else. It’s just enough of a challenge to be immersive when I’m playing, but the stakes are low enough that it’s not stressful. And the music/ambient noise is lovely.
