General:

• AI is running out of things to steal from, and AI is an excellent method to promote pirate politics. “If you think it’s important for people to share IPs with AI, then why not with other humans?”
• Thailand has officially legalized marriage equality, so roughly one fifth of all countries now have marriage equality
• China: need I say more?
• rent has actually been falling for a good couple months in the US, particularly in the sun belt

Personal:

• I have an interesting work situation, while work under capitalism still sucks, I genuinely liked everyone I worked with even my boss and the only reason I left was for another seasonal job that pays a bit more. Made me feel like not a total piece of shit when working there, and I honestly feel bad about leaving them and hope to stay in touch somehow.
• That being said, the money is helping me a lot with my big goal of moving out and GTFOing Ohio for good.
• I want to work on my depression. Right now I have no real passion for anything or any interest in any career, I want to find out that passion and then go back to college for it.
