  • The existence of the death note proves the existence of the afterlife, and as the one who found it I am clearly the predestined divine ruler of earth.

    Using the death note causes ones soul to be irreparably marked and when you die your soul is obliterated (iirc the Shinigami eat it but it’s been a while so idk specifics end result is obliteration)

    My death note would be used as a tool of power. First to create the ultimate prisoner’s dilemma. Simply write down the names of your accomplices, and they will be absolved of all crimes (go to heaven) while you will be given a title of nobility in the kingdom (might as well make your life worthwhile since you won’t get the afterlife).

    I would even allow the justice system to use it as punishment. Have criminals sentenced to obliteration use it on criminals sentenced to mere death.

    Scientists of course would be given a copy. Since it kills the heart, what about pacemakers? There’s a small delay in effect implying that it must travel at some speed, so does relatively matter and in principle could you outrun the effect? Can we draw power from soul obliteration? Can we draw power from the afterlife? Can we bridge into the afterlife and turn souls into power gems??? How does the paper know what language to use? Many tests to run, many sadistic villains with damned souls which I’ll have to run them.

    Also since it would inevitably be used on me in some way, or I would inevitably be forced or tricked into using it, I’ll just have to die knowing the memory of tyranny will persist and make it into the afterlife.




  • Swapped between normal and kneeling chair for a while as budget solution to back pains. Switched to sit/stand lifting desk + normal chair, stand pad (do not cheap out on the stand pad, get a nice thick one) and balance board when I upgraded my desk.

    Kneeling chair was great, but shouldn’t be used for long periods of time (2+ hours) according to lots of easily corroborated medical advice easily found even on the kneeling chair supplier websites.

    Sit/stand desk is the best investment I’ve ever made, felt the improvements after 3 weeks of casual use. Balance board is awesome bonus but requires a solid hard surface. Had to buy a wooden panel to put over my plastic carpet protector cuz my place has fairly deep carpet.






  • Yes. I think it’s a mediocre hack, and a better system would be Universal Basic Economic Seasons. Every season (year), everyone loses all of their liquid cash and debts and gains $100,000 of new cash for that year. Throughout the economic season you have to buy licenses and crap from the government to do business; which is the replacement for income tax and is how the government must engage with the system (since they’re effectively the ‘dealer’ they can’t engage with the system as a normal player) Then at the end of the year, we put all the richest people up on a leaderboard.

    Prevents runaway rng from allowing corrupt business to take off, capital gained in dirty ways has a definite time limit because come next cycle people will have equal capital and can avoid your gimmicks. A good businessperson wouldn’t be build on one off lucky streaks, but rather true ability and skill that can be consistent repeated.

    But UBI is close enough, and it’s easier to explain, and it requires significantly less market infrastructure to change.


  • I’m always assuming devils advocate whenever I see these posts. I gave up halfway through the first paragraph. The first time its nothing more than a distasteful joke and is ultimately probably pretty funny when all is said and done. The fourth time is a repeat offender and it was always intentional get the fuck out of there holy shit dawg RUN.



  • I do not believe that random internet strangers will be able to give you appropriate and constructive advice on this topic, no matter how well intentioned they might be. This requires a certified and trusted professional opinion. Knowing how volatile the internet can be, I strongly encourage you to seek help elsewhere if possible. At the very least, understand that we internet strangers are never who we claim to be, and 90% of us are bots anyways.
