i gotta gitgud so i can actually implement all these ideas
Bas β
Instagram: My life is a party.
Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.
Facebook: My life turned out great!
Twitter: We're all going to die.
Mastodon: Don't worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.

maybe there was some set of things i had to do that could avoid that ending but i was dreaming of something else by that point

i dreamt of paperclips.
more specifically, i dreamt of this life simulator game where you try to live your life while the world around you gets turned into paperclips. and people get scary due to the paperclipper's manipulations until eventually everyone loses their mind and becomes paperclips.
it was strangely involved too, like i had become a whole professor of anthropology or something but that ultimately was moot.

@ninjawedding even before then, i'd want to have charts so i know exactly where my expected profit and everything is, and a pricing feedback loop i could bound

@ninjawedding feels like there should be a way to automate some of these mechanics

Fun fact: in the US, the X-Men are legally not human beings.
Why? Because legally, action figures of humans are dolls, and action figures of non-humans are toys. The import tariff on dolls is higher than that on dolls.
So the division of Marvel tasked with handling its action figures sued in 2003 for the X-Men to be considered non-human, so they could pay the lower tariff when importing action figures manufactured overseas. A judge agreed: X-Men figures are toys - and thus non-human.
