Do you not encounter Amish people where you live?

0des··on What's the deal with all those weird wrong-number texts?
You aren't mandated to have mail or phone.

Edit: Noting a lot of downvotes on this comment, which is odd. I can only conclude one thing- don't be Amish on HN.

Perhaps this could be an opportunity to explore a different way of life, and a different community structure. It is not all horse buggies and barns.

Can you enable ShowDead and answer XeonMC's question? Seems like a normal question, not sure how the user got in the spam filter. Happens a lot these days to otherwise normal questions.

0des··on NES Game Genie Technical Notes (2001)
For some reason I thought I had remembered reading about pressing the button for extra lives, or for clipping, but not having the game it was for, when I was reading about it at the time.

Incidentally, Game genie and Gameshark were the first time I realized I was committing piracy (or any crime), when I was asked to leave a store for writing down a code that was in one of those 10,000 Game Codes books. It's been a long sordid tale of hidden algebra notecards and microscopic formula sheets ever since.

This life of crime chose me.

0des··on Bitcoin is the only coin the SEC Chair will call a commodity
And that change took years for everyone to standardize and design and then agree on to activate.

> Bitcoin has a single popular client.

False.

0des··on NES Game Genie Technical Notes (2001)
huh, okay I always wondered what the button did. I always assumed it was to 'activate' codes that were input, maybe for a different game that I hadnt played yet and thus hadn't needed to use it yet.

I thought I was the only one. For me it was GoLand, not to mention the constant feeling that im being watched. VSCode without telemetry is what I moved to.

Not disabled, but I just want to clap my hands and yell "Chappy!" and have this thing bring me the whiskey tray. How can we make this happen?
0des··on What the Hell Was the Microsoft Network? (2018)
I often look at these struggles with modern operating systems and think "BeOS wouldn't have done this". Then I laugh because in that world, BeOS would be where MacOS is now (quite literally certain on this), and would probably have resulted in the same product.

MSN had an amazing Quake 2 and just general multiplayer games service for a while, I want to say it was called Games.com or something like that. The one day, poof it was gone.

I don't think it screams clinical depression. I live in a rural area and empathize how someone could get to feeling this way. It can be tough to have so few people to talk to face-to-face on a peer level about the things that you're passionate about most, not because they don't want to talk about it, but because they mentally can't grok the subject matter to offer any consolation. You become your own best friend, your own therapist, your own support network. It's easy to socially discard people when you are precluded from forming those connections, they're just acquaintances, like the domino crew at the barber shop. I'm not saying it's right, but it doesn't also mean they're depressed or doesn't 'scream it' as you put it.

> person is depressed

I did not get this feeling. Sometimes a bit of isolation and retrospection is enough to realize what your real priorities are. Things can be deprioritized without acknowledging a superior priority, and that's okay. As we go through life, we change, people change, our surroundings change, and sometimes all of the external things change for the worst around the same time and that's just how life goes.

Noting these deficiencies doesn't outright indicate someone is depressed and could indicate progress. Most people with any amount of deep introspection explore these possibilities, and I think that's healthy rather than living in fear of having to process uncomfortable truths. Sometimes we dig deep enough to find those truths werent as true as we thought they were, and that's progress.

0des··on Why America can’t build
Someone mentally unstable yelling at me is not a worry, it's not their fault. I had misunderstood the statement to mean that eye contact was enough to warrant a physical confrontation with violence. I agree with you yelling and such doesn't necessitate a gun.

Congrats on home ownership. That makes me sad. Must be tough for young folks to get a house.

Did we get more people not working and paying taxes, or did we get more people consuming this resource? If it is the latter, how'd that happen?

This brings up and interesting question: If more people enter the work force and pay taxes every year, how is SS (as im told) "drying up"? I don't doubt that it's dwindling, however, what happened?

5% is 50k? Wow. That is a full on mansion, compound, some cattle, a nice truck, everything where I am. Just curious, is this a fairly fancy home in your area or just one of the jones's?
